Energy Patterns for October 2002

Major Waveform Patterns:

Oct 1st to the 15th -- a rough and draining storm pattern.
Oct 16th to the 18th -- a pause in the action.
Oct 19th to the 24th -- the storm comes back for seconds.
Oct 25th to the end of the month -- a noisy and changeable time.

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

To be honest, there's not a lot of constructive energies in the A5 Spectrum waveforms this month. Most of the time, they range from weak and annoying to quite disruptive and powerful. And given the persistence of this pattern, October may turn into a marathon, so take it easy. I see 4 main energy patterns this month.


Oct 1st to the 15th

The 1st to the 15th is a long and draining planetary storm. The waveform ranges in strength from a low of 359 units up to a potent 545 unit Koz Alert around the new moon on the 6th, although the pattern seems to drop off markedly after the 12th. The main harmonics in the waveform are H24 and H8, with a touch of H48 starting on the 12th -- uniformly difficult and stressful. The peaks in these graphs emphasize 13-15 and 29-30 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check where this hits your own birthchart. We've got a fan-shaped configuration of planets, most of them stationary or at least slow moving, connected by difficult 45 degree aspects. Needless to say, this is a challenging storm. It's a good time to reassess your everyday contacts with people, both the benefits and the responsibilities. It's important that everyone feel they are getting their fair share -- you'll certainly hear about it if they aren't. Don't feel you have to draw any conclusions just now, since circumstances are likely to change drastically in a few weeks. Watch, listen, consider other viewpoints. This may be a frustrating time if you need to complete some work, as results are hard to come by. Be content with smaller steps in the right direction.

Oct 16th to the 18th

The 16th to the 18th is a brief transition period after the main storm. The waveform cools off to the 381 to 431 unit range -- considerably less power is available now. The harmonics include H48 and H8 -- still pretty rough. The main points of emphasis are around 14 and 29 degrees. Granted, the storm never really dissipates completely during this period -- it merely hits the pause button for a few days. But the down time will be welcome, giving us some time to relax and catch our breath. There's not much astrological action going on now, but it actually looks pretty positive in some ways (especially the Venus-Jupiter square on the 17th). Get ready for the next blast.

Oct 19th to the 24th

The 19th to the 24th is the second big storm pattern to blow through. The waveform ranges from 370 to 509 units (a low Koz Alert), indicating the sky is getting organized again. The main harmonics are H24 and H48 still -- rough going. The points of emphasis are 13-15 and 26-28 degrees. More than anything else, this period represents the same old storm we saw the first half of the month coming back for seconds. Actually, it might go a bit smoother this time around, since there are a lot of helpful sextiles and trines in this pattern now. The most critical influence at this time is Neptune at its station. There's an elusive element of mystery and lack of clarity in the air now, making it hard to sort out what's really happening. This is not a good time for making major decisions. If you have work to do, focus on the kind of task where your ego is not involved.

Oct 25th to the end of the month

Finally, the 25th to the end of the month is another noisy transition period. The waveform falls off to the 306 to 440 unit region -- very little "oomph" here. The harmonics are a very complex mixture of H24 and H48, combined on occasion with H6, H4 or H12. A number of areas are active, including 7-9, 14 and 24-28 degrees of each sign. Don't look for a lot of consistency during this last week -- circumstances are fluid and highly changeable. There may be a kind of deep, dark and foreboding undertone in the background, as the Jupiter-Pluto trine is exact on the 27th. Lie low and recharge your batteries. Relying on intuitive decision making instead of logic may be more useful now, though I'd still prefer to double-check my choices later. This lull continues into the first week of November.
