• Numerology – 5 – freedom, creativity, innovation, protection, pentagram, change
• Rune – Sowilo – Fire, will, Spirit, energy, self-confidence, healing, Higher Self, illumination, the link between Spirit and Form
• Geomancy – Caput Draconis – Earth, Dragon’s Head, North Node in Capricorn, new beginnings, entrance, upper kingdom, threshold; Kedemel
• Moon – Pisces until Aries at 7:54 AM PST – VOC until 7:53 AM PST
• Human Design Channels – Recognition

Although you prefer freedom to restriction it may be best to approach tasks in an innovative manner today. That said, you can still go about your day with self-confidence by taking the safety precautions necessary to stay protected. Take a creative approach, and, if possible invoke your will in a manner that respects the safety of all.

You tend to care for others, forgetting that you need nurturing as well. With the Moon in Aries, don’t forget to take time to explore your own needs today. If personal issues are troubling you, go within to understand the greater picture before taking action. Check in with women in your life to get not only their perspective but their compassion as well.

With today’s five numerology, how you express freedom is an issue, but you should remember that freedom is really a state of mind or perception, reinforced by the Gate of Recognition active in today’s Human Design chart. You reconcile this truth by acting with caution and bringing extreme action or belief into balance with a pragmatic approach. It’s quite necessary now to maintain higher values and principles to survive the effect of chaos and anarchy expressed by a large segment of our society who refuse to believe the virus is not only real but deadly.

Monday, 15 February 2021

• Numerology – 6 – leadership, achievement, material success, harmony
• Rune – Raidho – soul journey, partnership, process over goal, harmonious movement, integration, rhythm, cycles, justice, Air
• Geomancy -Laetitia – Air, Jupiter in Pisces; imaginative, intuitive, activist, teacher, joy, health, laughter, portends good fortune,, Hismael, Yophiel
• Moon – Aries
• Human Design Channels – Recognition

Move in harmony with others today and remain on a shared path. Remain positive in your interactions with others and if called to a leadership role, focus on the process itself, leaving the goal or outcome for another day.

Although you typically have little difficulty expressing your feelings, aspects between the Moon and both the Sun and Mercury (still in retrograde) may leave your balance a little off and you may have a difficult time aligning intellect with emotions. If circumstances become overwhelming, take a step back to regain your composure. When you’re ready, return to the situation with confidence and optimism.

Use a direct approach to challenges but avoid compulsive behavior that leaves you at loose ends. If self-assertion is necessary, do so from a dispassionate or objective viewpoint. Your greatest appeal is expressed by your ability to convey an inspired vision to others so delegate if necessary and respect the input and boundaries of others.

Tuesday, 16 February 2021

• Numerology – 7 – Analytic Skills, Thoughtfulness, Meditation, Truth-Seeking, and Spirituality
• Rune – Gebo – engage in a balanced manner with others today and respect individual choice. Meaning: Water element, balanced energy exchange, link, marriage, partnership, gift, reciprocity
• Geomancy – Rubeus – Water (Fire – Agrippa), Mars, Scorpio (Gemini), passion, evil
• Moon – Aries until Taurus at 7:12 PM PST – VOC 4:16 PM PST to 7:11 PM PST
• Human Design Channels – Recognition, Synthesis

A seven numerology and the rune, Gebo, suggests maintaining balance today, and with Rubeus also in the mix, misuse of power may be the reason why. Whether it’s your own issuenor one brought by someone else, it’s best to see the greater picture before acting in a manner that boxes you in. Any expression of power, control, or authority that does not respect the integrity of self and others will surely backfire today, so be sure of the path ahead before acting.

While the Moon is still in Aries during the daytime hours, you may experience drama either from self or others. It may be best to step away to let circumstances settle before making the situation any more difficult than it already is. Formulate a new plan or direction if that’s required but don’t allow yourself to be pulled into something that will take you nowhere.

Avoid overreach today and proceed instead in a measured manner. There may be unexpected events that occur that support empowerment and growth so take your cues from past experience and if involved in a group, support the input of others. Know that a little self-restraint goes a long way to achieving a positive outcome so while expressing your own individuality, do so in a manner that doesn’t threaten your success.

• Numerology – 8 – spiritual warrior, benevolence, materialistic approval, achievement, striving for success, and acknowledgment
• Rune – Hagalaz – Water, witch rune, Hella, destruction within established boundaries, hail, Norn rune of the past, celestial ice egg, protection, luck, trance work
• Geomancy – Via – Water; Moon in Leo; path, journey, way, active presence; stuck in one set of perceptions or beliefs possibly emotion based; Chasmodai
• Moon – Taurus

Let go of perceptions that no longer serve fundamental truth. Release emotions that keep you from choosing benevolence and harmony as well. A new path or direction is not only possible, it’s inevitable now.

Now that the Moon is in Taurus, your focus turns to stability and routine tasks. Approach challenges with the confidence and resilience informed by past experience. You may also be willing to step outside the box today with an unconventional approach. That said, make an effort to respect and support others as well.

Three Channels are active in today’s Human Design Chart. Synthesis involves the interrelated or shared experience; Recognition reflects the truth that potential grows from limitation and that freedom is an illusion; and, Awareness reflects sudden knowing, inspired thought, and renewal. All inform disciplined action that prevents confusion over the new path that’s unfolding. A higher goal is in sight, one that requires adherence to a shared perspective. Watch for unexpected events to provide insight that empowers success and be ready to shift perception as needed.

• Numerology – 9 – endings/beginnings, completion, idealistic, generous, and kind; altruism, humanitarianism, generosity, sympathy
• Rune – Mannaz – Earth, humanity, integration, mind/body/Spirit connection, individual within society, thought rune, memory
• Geomancy – Puella – Air; Venus in Libra, happiness derived from balance, harmony, intellectual interaction, superficiality, girl, pleasant, not too fortunate, scattered, fickle, passionate, highly emotional, ambivalent, short term happiness; balances Puer; Kedemel, Hagie
• Moon – Taurus – VOC 11:28 PM PST to EOD
• Human Design Channels – Synthesis

Today’s nine numerology aligns well with the rune, Mannaz, and the need for a humanitarian, idealistic approach to integration and harmony with others. Puella reinforces this with its own influence on balance and harmony. The caution today would be to avoid superficiality and ambivalence and stay focused on expressing empathy where needed.

Avoid an impulsive response with others, especially if they’re trusting you with their feelings. Although you may feel uncomfortable with what you hear, if your goal is to improve interactions with others, then you need to avoid any responses that are arrogant or dismissive. Instead, use past experience to cultivate nurturing others.

Eliminate challenges to success before they become barriers, cooperating with others to achieve a prosperous outcome. Understand that superficiality conveys feelings of feigned tolerance and will not serve the higher goal of harmony with others. An inspired vision cannot find purchase as long as interactions are based upon selective perception and disrespect for the boundaries of others.

Understand the nature of who you are in relationship to others today. If called to a leadership role, express yourself with joy and optimism as you lead others along a new path of harmony and unified presence.

With the Moon traveling into Gemini in the early morning, interactions with others become more complex with debate possible. Keep things light and assert yourself in a compassionate and respectful manner. Again, if in a leadership role, use your position to motivate others along a shared path.

Reject any undermining or slander of others within the group and encourage all to participate without fear of reprisal. This is not the time for dogmatic beliefs that serve only to limit shared truth or awareness. Instead, it’s time to provide the space for all to express themselves so that clarity is preserved.

• Geomancy – Caput Draconis – Earth, Dragon’s Head, North Node in Capricorn, new beginnings, entrance, upper kingdom, threshold; Kedemel

Caput Draconis signals that we’re on the threshold of new experiences and that a new path is opening. But it can only happen in collaboration with others in a shared vision of the future. Align with others and experience the transformation that unfolding awareness provides. 

Interactions flow well today as you’re able to easily communicate your feelings and perspective. You possess the ability to inspire self-confidence in others as well as their respect so be generous with your time and support so that others assist you with a shared goal.

Remain open to the input from others so that progress is maintained while accepting responsibility for your own actions. Remember that a team or collaborative approach is the necessary ingredient for building a successful future and that superficiality or feigned tolerance will undermine all. Therefore, respect boundaries and have the sensitivity necessary to understand the greater picture.
