Energy Patterns for January 2001 Energy Patterns for January 2001Jan 1st to the 16th -- one long, sluggish time.
Jan 17th to the 27th -- a big planetary storm for the second half.
Jan 28th to the end of the month -- she's breaking up, captain!
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
According to the A5 Spectrum, there are only 3 major energy patterns to consider in January. Except for the 10 day planetary storm, most of the month is sluggish and unorganized, a symptom that the planets are scattering their influences in all directions instead of working together. This can feel like a very challenging situation, not because of outright conflict, but because our efforts are scattered by a thousand and one little problems that sap our focus. The storm period should be quite a relief, in comparison.

The 1st to the 16th is a continuation of the weak transition period that followed the Christmas storm pattern. The waveform for this time is generally weak and scattered, the astrological equivalent of "white noise" or the static you see on the TV screen after the station goes off the air. The waveform ranges in strength from 300 to 430 units, though it spends most of the time in the mid 300's -- the planets are sleeping and there's no power to tap into. The main harmonics in the graph are difficult at best, very draining and unsupportive. During the occasional moments of strength that such a changeable pattern is prone to, there is some emphasis at 16, 22-24 and 6 degrees (though not at the same time), but it's nothing to write home about. This is a good time to keep a low profile. Since there is no planetary energy to speak of that would support your efforts, keep your expectations low and don't attempt to accomplish more than the bare minimum. I suspect this is a building for the future time, that the rewards for your current efforts will be gathered months from now, so take it slow and easy. It's better to get it right now than to attempt to do it all.

The 17th to the 27th is the big planetary storm period. The waveform quickly changes from a muddled mess to a highly organized and potent structure. It ranges in strength from 380 units to a high of 538 at its peak, enough energy to push the world into overdrive. The harmonics are still fairly demanding and difficult, though there are some silver linings to be realized here. The strongest peaks indicate that 21 and 5 degrees of each zodiac sign are particularly sensitized now (allow for about 2 degrees of "drift" around these average degrees) -- check where this hits your birthchart. Essentially, this is the only time all January when there's a tailwind behind us, so take advantage of the support if you need to get something done. There are some downsides to this energy, however. For starters, many of the outer planets are very active now, so there are some powerful unconscious factors lurking in the background. Further, that dominant 24th harmonic is known to combine planets in a stressful manner, making it hard for the energies to come through cleanly. And given that Jupiter and Saturn are both standing still, there are bound to be some problem situations that are especially troublesome now. It may be rough working with other people now and your support system may be somewhat tenuous. Romantic relationships can be "exciting", which can be both good and bad and probably both. It's a wild ride these days, so make the most of it. If you remain aware of the problem areas now, they won't be that big of an issue.

Finally, the 28th to the end of the month is another chaotic transition period. The waveform cools off to the 360-420 unit range, considerably less forceful than the storm we just came through. The harmonics are scattered, difficult and draining once again. There is some focusing of energy at 26 and 12 degrees of each zodiac sign, especially 26 Scorpio (the tall, fat peak in the graph). However, this graph is about as misshapen and distorted as they come, indicating a very chaotic blend of influences. Once more, take it easy and keep your expectations low. There's not much going on astrologically these days, good or bad, so a bit of coasting is in order. Wait for stronger energies next month before starting new projects.
