Energy Patterns for May 2000

Major Waveform Patterns:

May 1st to the 4th -- leftover weak stuff from April
May 5th to the 20th -- the major planetary storm of the month
May 21st to the 23rd -- time off to catch your breath
May 24th to the end of the month -- more rough and tumble

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

May is a fairly typical pattern of alternating weak periods and powerful planetary storms. There's more life and variety in these waveforms than we've seen since March.


May 1st to the 4th

The 1st to the 4th is a continuation of the quiet, disorganized pattern that closed out April. The waveform is mild in intensity, bopping around in the 350 to 400 unit range for the most part. The harmonics are a muddled mixture of difficult and unfocused energies, generally speaking. The main points of emphasis from the peaks in these waveforms are around 28-to-2 degrees (across the borders from one zodiac sign to the next) and 15 degrees. The muddled, low-key appearance of these waveforms speaks of a quiet, unassuming influence on us, which is one reason why I'm not sweating the Taurus pile-up. I don't expect situations to be of major importance until after the new moon late on the 3rd. At that point, we are starting to experience the "aftershocks" of the Taurus line-up, so things could be heating up slowly.

May 5th to the 20th

The 5th to the 20th is one long, powerful planetary storm. The waveform is fairly powerful, in the 360 to 500 unit range. The mix of harmonics is frequently difficult, but not overwhelmingly so. The peaks in the waveform are tight and highly focused, emphasizing 18-21 degrees of each zodiac sign. There's a lot of energy being let loose during these two weeks, so get ready for a roller coaster ride! We're getting to the energies I consider more important than the pile-up, and given the strong outer planet influences kicking in now, we should be quite busy. The pattern is quite stressful, with normal everyday reality (Jupiter and Saturn) bumping heads with higher spiritual concerns (Uranus). Expect crazy things to happen and upset your plans -- you have to be flexible now. The 19th and 20th could be especially harsh (Mars opposite Pluto!) -- it's a bad time for any risky behavior.

May 21st to the 23rd

The 21st to 23rd is a brief transition period between storms. The waveform drops off precipitiously in strength down to the 350-400 unit level. The harmonics are a jumbled mess of H48, H36 and some indecipherable noise, indicating the energies are quite scattered. As with most transition times, take some time off and rest if you can. It's not a good time to get much work done anyway, so you might as well kick back and recharge your batteries. It gets busy again all too soon.

May 24th to the end of the month

The 24th to the end of the month is another mild planetary storm. The waveform increases in intensity to the 380-480 unit range -- strong enough to work with, but not enough to really bowl you over. The harmonics are H24, H12 and H48 -- the energy starts out easy, but becomes more stressful by the end of May. The main points of emphasis are 22 and 7 degrees of each zodiac sign. The pace of life is picking up and becoming more hurried, especially after the 25th when Uranus is standing still. Concentrate on one or two main projects and avoid the little distractions -- it will be hard enough to stay focused as is. We're starting to move from all that earthy, physical Taurus energy to a faster, more mental Gemini mix as the pile-up starts to dissipate. Get ready ahead of time for the change in speed -- the universe is not going to wait for slow-pokes. This pattern continues into early June.
