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, 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 the universal numerology for the month, day, and year. The astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time. A weekly bindrune using the week’s Elder Futhark runes appears on the left to carry with you for energetic support.
General Astrological Insights
At the beginning of the week, you may become involved in a situation that results in power-related conflict. Although you’re generally adaptable, you may hesitate to give in unless you can have some measure of control over your decisions. With Mercury still in retrograde, that might be influencing the situation. Trust your instincts and make the best choice for yourself.
Networking with others, particularly women, is possible during the week, and, as the week progresses, you will be better able to focus on the overall picture and express it in a new collaborative effort with others. Honor what you need, but make peace with any insecurities you might feel that inhibit self-assertion. Be clear about your expectations and avoid any lack of discernment that may set you up for disappointment. At the end of the week, be careful that you understand all sides of an issue before reacting to avoid an unnecessary impulsive reaction.
Daily Readings
Sunday, 27 July 2025
Others may have a negative attitude about your leadership style today if you’re perceived as temperamental, manipulative, or overreactive. However, if you observe more than react, you’ll express a balance that others can depend upon, and shift the narrative in a more positive direction.
Influences: Universal numerology: 7; Runes: Hagalaz, Rubeus; Human Design Gate/Line 31.4 Intent
Monday, 28 July 2025
It may be to your advantage to step back today if no solutions seem possible. Although something you’ve been working on is nearing its completion, you may have missed something important, and taking another look may ultimately protect the progress you’ve made thus far. Collaborate with others who have more experience, and adapt your goals where necessary.
Influences: Universal numerology: 8; Runes: Berkano, Populus; Human Design Gate/Line: 47.6 Futility
Tuesday, 29 July 2025
New growth is possible today if you let go of outmoded ideas and align with others in common purpose. Doing so will foster increased strength and security, and allow you to move forward with a sense of shared ideals. Instead of frustration, you may just find the joy you’ve been looking for.
Influences: Universal numerology: 9; Runes: Berkano, Laetitita; Human Design Gate/Line: 6.3 Allegiance
Wednesday, 30 July 2025
A unique approach, one where you step outside established boundaries, may help you break through barriers and transform your outlook today. It could be that you’ve been influenced by values that don’t align with your own, and now it’s time to express yourself more authentically. If you need some time to reevaluate the situation, by all means, do so.
Influences: Universal numerology: 1; Runes: Hagalaz, Puella; Human Design Gate/Line: 33.3 Spirit
Thursday, 31 July 2025
Confronting challenges may be ill-advised today without a better understanding of the issues or if doing so may cause unintended consequences for others. Overreacting to a situation that may either not be fully understood or be an outlier that’s temporary (such as the impact of Mercury retrograde) may cause more problems than it’s worth. There could be more options available than you realize, so step back and wait for a better moment to engage.
Influences: Universal numerology: 2; Runes: Dagaz, Rubeus; Human Design Gate/Line 39.3 Responsibility
Friday, 1 August 2025; Lammas (Lughnasadh)
Feelings of inadequacy can manifest in a variety of ways. It may manifest as modesty or hesitance to engage with others that’s created to protect the self from being hurt or from unwanted situations. In light of Lammas, the festival that celebrates the first harvest of Summer, consider how you express abundance in your life and whether that includes the bounty of family, friends, and others you know. Do you let them in, or are you hesitant to do so? Realize that it may be your perceptions of who you are that are holding you back from embracing the love, kindness, and generosity of spirit that others have to offer. So, align in higher awareness and release perceptions that no longer serve.
Influences: Universal numerology: 9; Runes: Isa, Tristitia; Human Design Gate/Line: 15.4 The Wallflower
Saturday, 2 August 2025; Solar eclipse in Southern Hemisphere
You’ve overcome self-imposed restrictions and are now ready to invoke your inner will to pursue new opportunities and achieve new goals. Although you may have survived chaotic situations in the past, now is the time to freely express your talents and not allow others to micromanage your efforts.
Influences: Universal numerology: 1; Runes: Nauthiz, Fortuna Major; Human Design Gate/Line 25.4 Survival
