Energy Patterns for August 2000 Energy Patterns for August 2000Aug 1st to the 5th -- more of the end-July doldrums.
Aug 6th to the 15th -- the biggest blast in two years!
Aug 16th to the 22nd -- a breather between storms.
Aug 23rd to the 26th -- the second wind for August.
Aug 27th to the end of the month -- a good time to kick back.
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
At first glance, August is pretty simple -- there's the big planetary storm pattern from the 6th to the 15th and then there's everything else. On closer inspection of the A5 Spectrum waveforms, there appears to be roughly 5 major energy patterns going on.
Aug 1st to the 5th |

The 1st to the 5th is a continuation of the slow, drifting pattern that closed out July. The waveforms are rather weak, so there's little energy to work with now. The harmonics in the waveform are generally chaotic and not very helpful frequencies. The main points of emphasis are around 7 degrees of each zodiac sign, although the waveform lacks an overall focus and scatters its influences all over. Despite coming off a solar eclipse on 7-30, there's not much "oomph" the first few days of August. It's been feeling like we're all in a daze lately, after being the punching bags for the July eclipses. It's not likely to be a productive time, so lie low and recoup your energies, if you can. It may be a time of great moodiness and introspection, as the Sun is kicking off the Pluto-Chiron conjunction, so take notice of those fleeting thoughts and feelings that flit through your mind. They are "hooks" or hints of the underlying unconscious issues that are sapping your strength, clues that you need to overcome these problems.
You don't have to stare at these misshapen peaks for long before concluding that the planets are not cooperating well. Fat peaks with little spikes like these are a clue that planets are coming together (or coming apart), but that the connecting aspects between these bodies haven't kicked in yet. This gives the first week of August a clumsy, lazy, disjointed feeling. It's hard to get any major projects finished under energies like this, since there's so little support for your efforts. Take care of the crucial matters and let the rest slide. Things will be much easier in a few days as the big planetary storm kicks in.
Aug 6th to the 15th |

The 6th to the 15th is the major storm of the month, if not of the entire year. The waveform starts out low energy, about 380 units, but peaks out at a devastating 594 units on the 11th, almost a Koz Quake (which start at 600). To put this number in perspective, you have to go all the way back to last December to find anything even comparable, and this is easily the strongest waveform I've seen in over 2 years! So hang on to your hats! The main harmonics are fairly positive overall, but with a "bite" to it. The energy is focused at 6 degrees of each zodiac sign, although everything from 5 to 9 degrees is affected -- check where this hits your birthchart. This is a time to hit the ground running. Do your planning and musing early on, since the energy will be overwhelming during the 10th to the 12th and there will be no time for sorting things out at the height of the storm. These influences are generally quite positive and constructive, especially with such "feel good" planets as Jupiter, Neptune and Venus involved, and it's easy to channel them into useful action. Just stay calm and take things as they come. Don't waste this time!
The planetary storm starts to coalesce around the 6th, reaching maximum intensity during the 10th to the 12th. This waveform, a blockbuster 594 units in height, was the strongest pattern I could find this week. There are a large number of aspects going off now, more than any other period all month. Aspects are the "fuel" of astrological influence, and when they combine all their effects at the same time, it can produce marked changes in our lives. The current pattern of planets starts with Jupiter, Venus, Pluto and Chiron in a T-Square. Then add in a tight Mars-Mercury conjunction which also connects with Neptune. Plus every few days the Moon comes through and turns a "mere" Koz Alert into a crazy waveform like this one. As I said, we haven't seen anything this powerful since the full moon of March '98, so the cosmic forces raining down on us are anything but common now. The overall energy feels very positive and helpful now, especially since Jupiter (the big cosmic Santa Claus) is in such a strong position. The tendency is to want to reach out, make new connections, exchange ideas, have fun and enjoy life. You may find some curious hang-ups popping up that prevent you from going with such a joyful flow, because Chiron is standing still this week. With so many of the fast-moving, personal planets in the mix, it's pretty easy to channel these higher forces into everyday life and act on them. Make the most of the powerful time and get ready for the ride. Potent times like this don't come often.
Aug 16th to the 18th |

The 16th to the 22nd is a quiet transition period after the main storm. The energy levels drop off precipitously, so there should be a feeling of letdown after all the whirling activity of the storm. The harmonics are scattered and diffuse, but not overly difficult. The main points of emphasis are 10 and 25 degrees. Take some time off to tie up the loose ends from the storm activity. You probably won't have the luxury of sorting out what happened until now. This is a good time to do some light mental work, since Mercury is active these days. On the other hand, some old problem issues may be a nuisance now, with Pluto standing still, so give them your top priority and don't sweat the other stuff.
Aug 23rd to the 26th |

The 23rd to the 26th is a brief mild storm pattern. The intensity levels are a bit higher, roughly 400 to 460 units. The harmonics are mostly positive with a few speedbumps. The action is focused at 4 degrees now. This is actually a pattern that never really gets its act together, so the results should be rather mild. It's a good time for hard, disciplined work, as the period is dominated by a Sun-Saturn square. Knuckle down and just put in the effort.
Aug 27th to the end of the month |

Finally, the 27th to the end of the month is another transition period after the mini-storm. The intensity level cools off to the 360-430 range, making it easier to manage this time. The harmonics are scattered and unfocused, but not terribly difficult. 3 to7 degrees of each sign are the strongest. Again, relax and put yourself back together. It's probably a good time to check out of day-to-day life and go off by yourself, as Vesta is standing still and emphasizing your need for solitude. The temptation is to remain involved in the outer world too much, causing you to tax your reserves. Your energies should pick up after the new moon on the 29th. This pattern continues into September.
