Retrograde Planets – Ceres
The Sun
12th House/Pisces; 12th/Aries 3/21-25; Specific influences: 1, Sowilo, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 25.1 Selflessness
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Over the week you carefully reflect on your interactions with others and how you express your individuality. Do you leave room for the opinions of others or do you come across in a manner that is ego-driven, aggressive, or controlling? If it’s the latter, your creativity could be impacted, and if it’s the former, the respect you show others could help you achieve your goals.
You have a unique ability to understand people on an intuitive level that gives you plenty of self-confidence on Sunday, 19 March 2023 to recognize when someone’s passions overshadow their integrity and result in a misuse of force. Others may look to you for leadership during this time.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (12th/Aquarius 3/19; 12th/Pisces 3/20-21; 12th/Aries 3/22; 1st/Aries 3/23; 1st/Taurus 3/24-25); Specific Influences: 2, Ehwaz, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 63.4 Memory
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. At the beginning of the week, your self-confidence is less than normal and your emotional balance may be off, and you’d rather spend time alone than with others to avoid emotions that are too complex to understand. This may be particularly true with respect to your relationships with women in your life. As the week progresses, you reflect on the new projects you’re beginning and consider new opportunities that arise, and it may be necessary to step back to understand a situation more fully before formulating a plan or strategy. Your life appears to be changing and you not only need to remain adaptable but assertive regarding your needs and opportunities that come your way. You have the ability to shape your life in a powerful manner if you let go of an egoic or narrow perspective. At the end of the week, should an unexpected situation occur, your ability to adapt will help you feel secure.
Collaborate with others on Monday, 20 March 2023, to come up with a detailed analysis of a successful situation that can inform a future opportunity. A partnership that develops from the experience may in turn provide a greater level of support and input to overcome any challenges that could arise.
Mars
3rd House/Gemini; 3rd/Cancer 3/25; Specific Influences: 3, Nauthiz, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 12.6 Metamorphosis
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Throughout the week, a disciplined approach is preferable especially if new opportunities arise. Although you’re assertive and motivated, how you approach risk will determine the response others have and how willing they are to provide support. As the week progresses, partners may find your temper too much to handle and again, it may impact collaborative efforts. At the end of the week, you need to understand all sides of an issue before reacting to avoid an unnecessary impulsive reaction.
Seeking assistance from a trusted advisor on Tuesday, 21 March 2023 may give you the faith and optimism you need to overcome challenges. Pay attention to details so that you don’t compromise your results.
Mercury
12th/Aries; Specific Influences: 22, Laguz, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 17.4 The personnel manager
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. At the beginning of the week, you may struggle with expressing yourself in a nurturing manner. However, as the week progresses, your intuition increases and you are able to offer insight to others who need your compassion and support. Toward the end of the week, make decisions when ready, and then assert yourself with independence and self-confidence.
Understanding the motivations and needs of others on Wednesday, 22 March 2023 will help you set the direction you need to achieve your goals. And your ability to align intuitively with others will help allay your fears and insecurities.
Jupiter
12th House/Aries; Specific Influences: 5, Mannaz, Puer, Human Design Gate/Line 51.3 Adaptation
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Throughout the week, you seek a higher truth as well as honesty from yourself and others. And while there may be obstacles in your path that impact progress, your confidence and a direct approach will carry you through. You’re motivated to search for new experiences but you need to trust your inner voice as well as the bigger picture to help determine which opportunity is best. At the end of the week, you’re so optimistic that you believe you can accomplish anything.
On Thursday, 23 March 2023, you create opportunities from challenges, and your innovative perspective helps you collaborate with others. And although you’re quite driven to succeed, you need to be less impulsive or risk-averse.
Venus
1st/Taurus; Specific Influences: 6, Fehu, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 24.2 Recognition
Venus, the planet of attraction, happiness, harmony, and beauty, reflects the feminine aspect within and how an individual loves and expresses intimacy as well as self-worth. At the beginning of the week, you may become manipulative if you perceive that your needs are unmet. You need reliability in your relationships with close partners, but your passions can, at times, overshadow your judgment. If you seek a direction that collaborates with others, you’ll likely find the support that you need. At the end of the week, your boundaries with others may need strengthening.
You have an inner need for recognition and achievement on Friday, 24 March 2023; however, for that to happen, you may need assistance or guidance from someone with more experience. Express your needs clearly and be open to the advice that’s offered.
Saturn
12th House/Pisces; 11th/Pisces 3/21-25; Specific Influences: 7, Uruz, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 55.3 Nostalgia
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Your insecurities continue to impact your working relationships with partners or co-workers over the week. Your self-confidence may be affected and maintaining discipline will help you persevere through unexpected challenges especially if you seek assistance from someone who cannot, for whatever reason, provide that support. At the end of the week, some reevaluation may be necessary.
Although you are typically successful when creating your own opportunities, on Saturday, 25 March 2023, in spite of your best efforts, an obstacle may still impact your progress. Step back to assess the situation objectively and if it appears unreliable, a new direction may be warranted.
