Energy Patterns for February 2003

Major Waveform Patterns:

Feb 1st to the 6th -- a powerful storm to start the month!
Feb 7th to the 20th -- a long, meandering energy with occasional surprises.
Feb 21st to the end of the month - a particularly harsh storm.

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

First impressions of the A5 Spectrum for the month are mostly of a lack of structure and focus. Most of the time, the waveforms are noisy and disorganized, changing quickly from day to day. And then every now and then, the energies come together for a few hours and knock us for a loop. It's tough to analyze a mess like this, but I'd divide the month into roughly 3 main energy periods. Just keep in mind the volatility of February -- the energies are always changing.


Feb 1st to the 6th

The 1st to the 6th is the climax and falling off of the planetary storm that governed the last week of January. In fact, the strongest waveform all month occurs in the wee morning hours of the 1st, just hours before the new moon. This waveform varies wildly in strength, from 356 units (quite wimpy) to a low Koz Alert of 530 (enough to bring down the shuttle). The harmonics in this waveform include H6, H4, H12 and H48 -- a mixed bag that looks easy going at first, but has quite a hidden bite to it. The energies are particularly focused in the 10-14 degree and 26-30 degree regions of each zodiac sign -- check if you have any planets in your birthchart that fall in this hot zones. Essentially, this period is one big "pow!!" followed by a trailing off time as the energy starts to percolate and generate repercussions throughout the remainder of the lunar month. The new moon kicks the Jupiter-Neptune opposition into overdrive, with enough Mars to make the situation overheated. Despite being a new moon, I'd be hesitant about starting any new activities right away. There's a mental fog in the air, clouding our vision. I'd be especially wary if your motivations have a strong moral or spiritual tone, prone to polarized notions of "good" and "bad", since the opposition is exaggerating your sense of moral superiority. If you get going with an inflated ego like this, the consequences down the road will likely boomerang on you. Think things through two or three times before you act.

Feb 7th to the 20th

The 7th to the 20th is mostly a long drifting time with little energy or direction -- mostly. The 13th and the 16th appear to be major islands of high intensity within this sea of lowkey. The waveform meanders around between 333 units to an unexpected Koz Alert of 506 on the 13th -- mostly little "oomph" behind us, but then we get blind sided. The harmonics are generally H24, H48 and a trace of H6 -- pretty rough stuff overall. The energies are concentrated at all sorts of places within each zodiac sign, spreading the power all over: 20-23, 10, 18, and 0 degrees all have their turns. Much of the time, there's not a lot of aspect activity on any given day, so it doesn't feel like anything in particular is happening. It's hard to concentrate, hard to get motivated. Which makes the occasional "poof!" of activity all that much more difficult, because we aren't ready for it. The Saturn-Mars-Pluto axis is getting organized, especially after the full moon. Saturn and Pluto already have a messy track record (think Sep 11 and its aftermath), so the addition of Mars (war) is troubling. Watch the full moon on the 16th!

Feb 21st to the end of the month

The 21st to the end of the month is the start of another weak storm. The waveform is of moderate intensity, bopping around between 357 and 477 units. The harmonics shift to H24 and a bit of H4 -- both very harsh frequencies. The points of emphasis are 22-24 degrees and 10-12 degrees of each sign. The most important event during this time is the Saturn direct station on the 22nd (conjunct the US Mars) -- karmic shit is hitting the fan, inflaming this second opposition. When the Moon goes over Pluto and Mars on the 24th, situations should be particularly intense. Notice that Mars is drawing both oppositions together into an H8 (conflict, aggravation, things just get in the way) pattern. Pray for the best. This pattern extends into early March.
