Esoteric Influences for 14-20 June 2020
Welcome to another edition of your weekly aggregate of esoteric influences! We’ll begin first with the weekly numerology!
Sunday ~ 14/5 – take all precautions today if going out and about, particularly if you’re going to join a gathering of some kind. The virus is spiking in many areas in the country, so wear a mask, gloves, and wash your hands often and if marching for social change and racial justice, remain true to your cause.
Monday ~ 15/6 – Higher Self influences expressions of shared purpose today. Intuition is strong and new beginnings are possible as we go forth in harmony with others.
Tuesday ~ 16/7 – take an observer role today especially if energies appear volatile. Strike a balance between ego and Spirit allowing Spirit to transform your perceptions.
Wednesday ~ 17/8 – practical matters take priority today. Understand the greater picture and choose harmony and protection over self-interest.
Thursday ~ 18/9 – One phase may be ending and another beginning as a feeling of endings or completion is experienced today. Take stock of where you are now and where you intend to go.
Friday ~ 19/1 – building upon yesterday’s feelings of completion, a new phase may begin, or a doorway may open, to new and exciting experiences. Find common ground with others and let intuition guide your path.
Saturday ~ 20/2 – Understand the cause and effect nature and apply balanced reason to the current situation at hand.

Lunar Influences
Sunday ~ Aries – patience is said to be a virtue but that virtue may be sorely lacking today. If you’re feeling like you want to get into with anyone, remember that this feeling may pass, so be sure this is the proverbial hill and all before asserting yourself today.
Monday ~ Aries – motivation is strong today and we may feel like doing everything that needs doing all at once. However, patience may still be lacking from yesterday so take time to consider both your approach and your effect upon others.
Tuesday ~ Aries until Taurus at 2:36 AM PDT – whereas patience and tact were at a minimum for the last two days, emotions should settle a bit as the Moon travels into practical and diligent Taurus early in the day. Persistence is favored as is taking time to rest.
Wednesday ~ Taurus – practical concerns are in focus today. Take care of routine items such as paying bills or watering plants.
Thursday ~ Taurus until Gemini after 2:00 PM PDT – as the Moon transitions into chatty and social Gemini, you may notice your attention to detail waning a bit. Arrive at a stopping point and then focus on what stimulates your intellect and share what you learn with others.
Friday ~ Gemini – express yourself with others today, online or otherwise, respecting distance and protection needs, as you share ideas and feelings surrounding a shared purpose and direction forward.
Saturday ~ Gemini until Cancer at 11:02 PM PDT – as the day progresses, your attention may shift to how you’re feeling and empathic awareness may increase. Sensitivity toward perceived hurtful comments from others may also increase so take a step back before responding.
I Ching/Human Design Influences
Human Design involves the blending of the planetary positions with the I Ching. The I Ching consists of sixty-four guas (hexagrams), each one containing six lines with their own specific message. You can see from the above Rave Mandela how the hexagrams or guas are arranged around the chart with the bodygram in the center.
Most planets, particularly the outer planets as well as the Sun, remain in roughly the same place, changing only their line numbers throughout the week. The Moon, however, changes both its Gate and Line number daily. In addition, as planets move, energetic channels may form between the gates and when they do, I’ll include them because they can provide underlying supportive energies which may be helpful.
As you can see, while some gates remain the same, their lines do change reflecting the subtlety found in the six lines of each I Ching hexagram. While the overall message may be the same, each line suggests another perspective or focus. Another aspect to note is that the outer planets, as well as the Moon’s Nodes, tend to remain roughly the same throughout the week and sometimes the month as well to provide an underlying perspective or foundation to the information.
The Nodes remain at Gate 15.1 Duty (North Node) and 10.1 Modesty (South Node) all week indicating the energy present to confront challenges and to understand a shared sense of purpose. Jupiter and Saturn remain in their same Gates (61 and 60 respectively), but shift their lines toward the end of the week to the 5th line in each gate reinforcing positive expressions of leadership.
The Channels of Awareness (Gates 61-24) and Openness (Gates 12-22) are active all week with the Channel of Awakening (Gates 10-20) opening on Friday only.
14 June 2020 ~ As the virus spikes around the country we continue to stay home or protected if out and about (Sun 12.1 The Monk) as we maintain the rhythm required to stay the course (Venus 16.3 independence).
As we remain attuned to our collective purpose (Earth 11.1) allow the spiritual warrior within to speak truth to power, expressing the highest principles possible (Moon 25.4 survival) as we effectively move around any obstacles thrown in our path (Mercury 39.5 single-mindedness). Give the naysayers and oppressors no room for success (Mars 22.5 directness).
15 June 2020 ~ maintaining the highest standards while we stay the course is the message behind the interaction between the I Ching and the Sun, Earth, and the Moon’s placement at their respective gates of purification, rigor, and objectivity. Avoid being drawn into conflict by taking a troubleshooter role (Mercury 39.6), both today and for the remainder of the week, as you objectively discern the most appropriate path forward (Venus 16.2 the cynic). The time is now for maturity in our collective response (Mars 22.6).
16 June 2020 ~ in times of difficulty, we may find it both easy and difficult to examine our own perceptions and motives but the Sun’s placement at Gate 12.3 confession indicates space is there to reassess our own perspective if necessary. We’re examining our willingness to accept a shared path forward through both viruses: COVID-19 and racism (Earth 11.3 the realist, Moon 42.5 self-actualization) with a new sense of maturity (Mars 22.6) guiding our choices now.
As from yesterday, the continued placement of Mercury and Venus depicting both the troubleshooter and the cynic illustrates that the shared path forward is clear.
17 June 2020 ~ Coupled with the Channels of Awareness and Openness, The Sun at 12.4 the prophet and the Earth at 11.4 the teacher suggests that greater awareness is available today either from a leader that emerges or awareness fostered by Spirit. In one sense, this may align with the Moon at 27.6 wariness in that we may need to reassess our boundaries with others and the manner in which we offer or accept help or assistance.
Although we’re in varying stages of crisis now with both the virus spiking around the country as well as violence increasing against citizens of color, as we take to the streets to protest racial injustice, Mercury’s continued placement at 39.6 the troubleshooter reinforces the fact that true change is possible now and we cannot lose focus (Venus 16.1 delusion). Instead, we must persevere in this fight to secure a peaceful future (Mars 36.1 resistance).
18 June 2020 ~ with the Sun at 12.5 the pragmatist and the Earth at 11.5 the philanthropist, we experience another day where support is both offered and received (Mars 36.2). Although dark forces continue the proselytization of oppression and injustice (Moon 23.1), through recognition (Uranus 24.2) and directness (Neptune 22.5) we shall persevere until our shared goal is achieved.
We must remain adaptable (Earth 11.6) and avoid all dogmatism (Moon 20.2) so that a shared level of understanding takes hold. Leadership and influence that are predicated on such will take us securely into the future (Saturn 60.5, Jupiter 61.5).
The Sun is at Gate 15.1 Duty describing the ability to meet any challenges which arise. That the Sun shares this with the North Node of the Moon indicates that this is our future path. The Earth at Gate 10.1 Modesty suggests the intrinsic awareness of one’s place and with the South Node in the same position, it suggests that this may be a change in perspective derived from past lifetimes that we’ve now embraced in this present incarnation.
In other words, we know which side of history to be on this time and we’re prepared to embrace this struggle (Mars 36.3 transition) in unity with others (Moon 35.3 collaboration).
As we navigate together the reordering of society from one of oppression to one that treats all with respect and dignity…
Blessings to all who embrace this truth!
