Energy Patterns for April 2000

Major Waveform Patterns:

Apr 1st to the 19th -- one long, volatile period
Apr 20th to the 25th -- almost a planetary storm
Apr 26th to the end of the month -- strong, but scattered

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

In terms of the A5 Spectrum, April is a mess. Most of the time, the waveform is disorganized, low energy and chaotic, a symptom that there's really very little happening all month. I spent a long time staring at these graphs, trying to find some underlying patterns before just plain giving up. At best, there are only 3 clear cut patterns to examine.


Apr 1st to the 19th

The 1st to the 19th is one long, noisy mess. Because the pattern of planets is so disorganized, the waveform is highly "volatile" or changeable, shifting considerably from day to day, even hour by hour, depending upon the current lunar aspects. So take the description of this period with a grain of salt. In general, the waveform is low to moderate intensity. The main harmonics are a mix that's mostly draining and distracting. The peaks in the graph are mostly fat, distorted and often splintered into a series of spikes on top, all indications that the planets are scattering their influences about randomly instead of working together closely. As I said, the situation is quite volatile, with strong days being followed by weak ones (this graph is a strong one). Given an energetic picture like this, it's best to keep your expectations low because it's difficult to accomplish anything when the planets are so scattered. Our attention is tossed to and fro by an endless succession of problems and concerns that flit by rapidly. Take care of the day-to-day business and avoid taking on bigger projects that require a lot of effort and attention. If you do need to look after the bigger issues, give yourself plenty of time to work on them. Slow and steady is the best approach.

Apr 20th to the 25th

The 20th to the 25th is the only period this month resembling a mild storm pattern. The waveform is a bit stronger, hanging out in the 380 to 470 unit range. The harmonics look somewhat easier overall, but still with a harsh edge to the energy. The peaks are more focused and well-developed, beaming their energies mostly to the 20 degree area of each zodiac sign. Well, most of the time at any rate. This week may be the most useful period all month, as the planets are more organized and cooperative than the other periods. Make the most of this "tailwind" behind your efforts! There are some important previews for May during this time, especially on the 23rd, so keep an eye out for any new themes that enter your life around then.

Apr 26th to the end of the month

The 26th to the end of the month is a very paradoxical pattern, a noisy storm. The waveform is quite intense at times, in the 360 to 490 unit range, which is the strongest graph all month. However, the harmonics are more typical of weak, scattered periods. The main points of emphasis are around 25 degrees most of the time. This combination of strong-but-disorganized is highly unusual, so it's a bit hard to read. Remember that the big Taurus convention is quickly coming together, as Mercury and Venus join the club on the 29th and 30th, respectively. It adds a lot of drive and determination to our efforts, but it also tends to produce a stubborn streak in people, so be more patient with others than you may be used to. That Taurus "stick-to-it-ness" is helpful during a volatile time like this, making you less prone to distractions. This is the final warm-up act for the big shows in May.
