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
Throughout the week, there may be times when you prefer a supportive role over one that involves leadership. You’re focused on harmony in your relationships, and you’d rather spend time analyzing, organizing, and tending to needs at home. However, your emotions may be in flux, and you may become easily upset, which may impact your perceptions, particularly at the beginning of the week. That said, your emotions also enhance your sensitivity and intuition, and others are drawn to the insights you offer.
As the week continues, you may be influenced by new thoughts and perspectives shared with you by others. Co-workers may appreciate your input and perspective, and reach out to you about a potential opportunity. However, a power struggle may also occur between you and a close partner involving a partner’s resistance to your more individual approach to a situation. This is a time when you may want to reflect on how you assert yourself with partners, as well as your expectations of them, and how you can express yourself and your independence without becoming frustrated or angry.
Daily Readings
Sunday, 24 August 2025
You may find your sacred space in being separate from others today. Following along with the crowd is just too much, and you need to protect your peace of mind. Although family tradition may encourage you to join in, until you feel comfortable enough to do so, a more solitary mindset is preferable.
Influences: Universal numerology: 5; Runes: Othala, Populus; Human Design Gate/Line 59.2 Shyness
Monday, 25 August 2025
You take a pragmatic approach to success, and you’re willing to share your methods with others. Partnerships are important today, as you proceed along a mutual path. The joy you experience in sharing with others resonates in the relationships you’ve built. And the intuitive bond you experience with others keeps your motivation and momentum going.
Influences: Universal numerology: 6; Runes: Ehwaz, Via; Human Design Gate/Line: 46.3 Projection
Tuesday, 26 August 2025
You may need to regroup today, with a change in course possible. Either you’re getting in the way of your own process, or there could be someone attempting to control or undermine your success. Protect yourself at all costs today, and be mindful of who opposes you, even if you’re the one causing your own problems.
Influences: Universal numerology: 7; Runes: Thurisaz, Carcer; Human Design Gate/Line: 48.4 Restructuring
Wednesday, 27 August 2025

Influences: Universal numerology: 8; Runes: Laguz, Conjunctio; Human Design Gate/Line: 4.1 Pleasure
Thursday, 28 August 2025
If chaos ensues today, avoiding any conflict that results may be necessary to keep moving forward.

Be there to support others until the situation settles down.

Friday, 29 August 2025

Influences: Universal numerology: 1; Runes: Ansuz, Fortuna Minor; Human Design Gate/Line: 31.3 Selectivity
Saturday, 23 August 2025
