Energy Patterns for September 2001

Major Waveform Patterns:

Sep 1st to the 10th -- a planetary storm kicking off a wild two weeks.
Sep 11th to the 12th -- not much of a breather.
Sep 13th to the 17th -- a shift in the wind.
Sep 18th to the 22nd -- one more low energy time.
Sep 23rd to the end of the month -- ramping up to a major storm!

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

It's kind of fun to see some good old fashioned Koz Alerts springing up in the A5 Spectrum again -- this is not a ho-hum month by any means. Most of the storm activity is centered near 12 degrees around a grouping of Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto ("the mark of the giant") that we'll be seeing often this fall and next spring as well. There appear to be 5 main waveforms to look at in September.


Sep 1st to the 10th

The 1st to the 10th is a long lasting storm pattern that reaches low Alert levels on the 5th. The waveform varies in strength from 360 to 503 units, packing quite an astrological punch at times. The main harmonics are generally quite positive and constructive frequencies. The main points of emphasis are around 12 and 28 degrees of each zodiac sign -- take notice what this affects in your own birthchart. This storm starts out with a spectacular full moon chart on the 2nd, indicating the mood for the next two weeks. There's a deep transformative force at work inside us, but we're constrained to pull off these shifts within the context of our day-to-day living. It affects the way we interact with people around us and the kind of social connections we maintain. It may seem at times that you're "out of sync" with your surroundings if the internal changes out race the external shifts. Remain pleasant and upbeat, bringing courtesy and respect into all your daily encounters. Don't take matters overly seriously or get too wrapped up in your own daily soap operas. A feeling of lightness makes things a lot easier.

Sep 11th to the 12th

The 11th to the 12th is a brief transition between storms. The waveform drops off dramatically in strength, down to the 360-400 unit range. The harmonics now are a very scattered and noisy mixture -- it's much harder to concentrate and stay on track. Most of the focus is at 13, 5 and 20 degrees. It's perhaps best to kick back a few days and recharge your batteries since it's difficult to get much done under these circumstances. Scale back your activities to the bare essentials, letting the big stuff sit awhile. You can always get back to them when the energies pick up.

Sep 13th to the 17th

The 13th to the 17th is the next wave of influence to come in. The waveform picks up in strength slightly, to a moderate 380-440 level. The harmonics include H12, H6 and some H36 ("fat, dumb, and happy"; unconscious and unfocused) -- pleasant, laid back, a bit lazy. The main peaks have shifted from 12 over to 21 degrees (with some activity at 6 and 14 degrees still), indicating a marked change in which planets are affecting us. The inner planets Sun, Mercury and Venus (operating in a fan-shaped pack to pick out important planetary patterns) are tuning into Uranus now, producing a frenzied, high-energy time with a marked mental/intuitive flavor. There may be a quirky, chaotic mood in the air, full of unexpected surprises. If you find your plans disrupted now, take it in stride -- the detours are often better than the original trip. Circumstances may make an unusual twist after the new moon on the 17th. Most of all, have some fun.

Sep 18th to the 22nd

The 18th to the 22nd is another chaotic transition period. The waveform falls off in strength to a barely perceptable 330-370 -- no "oomph" here! The harmonics are mostly a noisy version of H36 static -- things may bungle along, but it's hard to really care. Once again, the emphasized degrees are 5, 13 and 22. The inner planets are disengaging from Uranus and slowly moving back to the Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto crew. During this transition time, when the energies are flipping around a lot, it can be really hard to concentrate on any one thing for very long. Keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed. Rest up and relax -- the next few weeks will be demanding.

Sep 23rd to the end of the month

The 23rd to the end of the month is the buildup to a major series of storms in October. The intensity during this period varies wildly, from a ho-hum 350 units to a screaming Koz Alert of 568 on the 30th. Most of this buildup is just the last 2 days. The harmonics include H12, H36 and some H24 towards the end -- the mood is still very positive and helpful. Most of this action is focussed at 13 degrees of each zodiac sign. This period, plus the first 10 days of October, is a great time to put your plans into gear and get to work. Just be certain to do the "brain work" early on, because Mercury the thinking mind is grinding to a halt (it goes retrograde on Oct 1). Stay calm and flexible if you want to get the best results. Try to balance practicality with aesthetics in your efforts. This storm continues full tilt into October.
