The Forecast: 15-21 December 2024
The Forecast is a look at the weekly planetary influences and a daily reading derived from various esoteric sources. The planetary information presented is from daily astrological charts over the week that align with the planetary governor for each day, while the daily reading is gleaned from each day’s I Ching-based Human Design chart, runes from both the Elder Futhark and geomancy, and numerology for the day itself. The astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time.
General Astrological Outlook
While the Sun is still in Sagittarius until Saturday, you continue to pursue new adventures, ideas, and perspectives. At the beginning of the week, your work attracts attention, which may benefit your career; however, you must be flexible should the unexpected arise, especially if further clarity is required. Your intuition may also be relied upon to understand the more nuanced aspects of the situation.
Partners, friends, and family also play an important role in your life at the beginning of the week as they stimulate new ideas and experiences. If mood swings occur, they can be relied upon to provide support or guidance. Now that Mercury has left retrograde, although it could be a week or so for interactions to become more stable, expressing your position may be less difficult. However, with Mars in Leo and the seventh house, patience and compassion may be necessary should issues, possibly financial, arise between you and a partner.
As the week continues, boundaries may need reevaluating so you don’t become caught up in the drama of others. Although you’re sensitive and intuitive, you need to be mindful of implicitly trusting others or having overly high expectations before you understand the full picture.
During the latter part of the week, both your health and your career are in focus, and you may become frustrated if a situation doesn’t progress as quickly as you’d like. However, your frustration may also be signaling that your instincts are telling you that you’re ready to move on to a new path. When the Sun moves into Capricorn on Saturday, self-reflection may be needed to reestablish boundaries and to increase your stability.
Daily Readings
Sunday, 15 December 2024; Mercury Direct at 12:56p; Full Moon 1:02a
Today’s Full Moon in Gemini becomes Full early this morning at 1:02 am. If you’re up for it, begin a Full Moon ritual while the Moon is still in its Maiden phase to reflect on any intentions set on the New Moon. When the Moon is Full, observe where you are in that process and allow your intuition to guide you into new experiences. Remain strong and purposeful, and let your curiosity and imagination flow. The days ahead appear positive, and new opportunities may be in store.
Influences: 6; Laguz, Laetitia; Human Design Gate/Line 11.2 Rigour; Moon Phase: Full at 1:02a 29°Ge52; 5th Ray
Monday, 16 December 2024; Crone Moon
During the Crone phase of the Full Moon, let go of any sadness, grudges, and perceptions that no longer have value and invoke the inner change necessary to move into a positive state of mind. Confront what’s essential; however, it may be better to observe the situation before addressing issues that cause risk to others until a more appropriate time. An objective view is better than one that is emotionally based.
Influences: 7; Nauthiz, Tristitia; Human Design Gate/Line: 39.3 Responsibility; Moon phase: Waning, Full; 5th Ray
Tuesday, 17 December 2024
As one period ends, use your inner strength to let go of expectations of yourself and others that are unrealistic and move forward into a new phase in your life where all options are available. If you’re in a leadership role, or you’re pursuing one, past expectations may have been raising concerns, and learning to respond more objectively may solidify confidence from others. A ritual where you either draw or visualize today’s rune Dagaz ᛞ on the ground or floor and then stand in its center point may help you visualize letting go of what’s no longer working and move into that which does.
Influences: 8; Runes: Dagaz, Via; Human Design Gate/Line: 31.4 Intent; Moon phase: Waning, Full; 5th Ray
Wednesday, 18 December 2024
An unexpected situation may arise today where collaborating with others becomes valuable, even if only to manage any frustrations that occur. The potential is there to succeed. However, the clarity necessary to do so may come from disparate voices and ideas. Even though Mercury is no longer in retrograde, there still could be a shadow effect right now, and relying on input from others may help you cover all the bases so you avoid missing something important.
Influences: 9; Runes: Inguz, Albus; Human Design Gate/Line: 9.3 Misery loves company; Moon phase: Waning, Full; 5th Ray
Thursday, 19 December 2024
You have an insatiable drive for change and progress, and your unique approach, while sometimes risky, typically serves you well. You’re motivated to share your knowledge and wisdom with others, inspiring them to share their own experiences. Although there may be forces who wish to control your fate, you’re unlikely to cooperate today, instead asserting your own position and expectations in a dynamic and clear way.
Influences: 1; Runes: Perthro, Albus; Human Design Gate/Line 35.4 Hunger; Moon phase: Waning, Disseminating; 5th Ray
Friday, 20 December 2024
You collaborate with others today and find integration and harmony in unexpected ways. That said, don’t let impulsiveness drive a wedge or create suspicion with those whose talents and drive you need to succeed. Instead, express compassion and empathy, and be ready to laugh off or make light of mistakes so they can be easily remedied.
Influences: 2; Runes: Mannaz, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line: 13.3 Pessimism; Moon phase: Waning, Disseminating; 5th/6th Rays; 2nd (slightly less the other two rays)
Saturday, 21 December 2024; Winter Solstice, Yule
You’re well-organized, and your sense of timing makes you a skillful communicator. You assert yourself in a way that reflects optimism and an understanding of the process taken to achieve your goals. If that involves a family celebration for Winter Solstice or Yule today, then all the better. May your interactions be positive and harmonious, and your sense of purpose strong, so the joy and happiness you express will bless all in your life.
Influences: 3; Runes: Raidho, Puella; Human Design Gate/Line 63.3 Continuance; Moon phase: Waning, Disseinating; 3rd/7th; 1st (slightly less the other two rays)
