Energy Patterns for February 2002

Major Waveform Patterns:

Feb 1st to the 7th -- the "Koz Nova" comes crashing down!
Feb 8th to the 15th -- not much going on this week.
Feb 16th to the 20th -- a brief mini-storm.
Feb 21st to the end of the month -- some energy at the Full Moon.

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

I stared at the A5 Spectrum graphs a long time this month before finding much to talk about. February is pretty much one long "flat line" -- no oomph, no clearcut harmonics, no big storms. It's basically a month to just "keep on keeping on" and take care of living. On closer inspection, there are 4 main energy patterns to talk about. However, the waveforms are highly changeable on a day to day basis, so some of the differences will be glossed over. I don't think you'd notice these finer distinctions anyway -- they're pretty subtle.


Feb 1st to the 7th

The 1st to the 7th is what is left of the big storm at the end of January. There's one last blip of energy mid-day on the 1st (a mild Koz Alert of 518 units), but then it drops off rapidly and closes out the week in the 360 unit range, roughly half the energy of the January Koz Quake. The harmonics in this waveform are typical of a storm breaking up (H12, H24, and H48) -- somewhat positive, but becoming very disorganized. The main points of emphasis are around 9 and 24 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check where this hits your birthchart. In some ways, the Quake energies were quite welcome -- clearcut energy with a purpose. (In others, it was a pain in the butt.) As these powerful energies evaporate, there's a feeling of let down, of an exciting time that's getting back to normal. There may be some loose ends to clean up in certain situations, given that Saturn and Mercury are both approaching their direct stations. Look for areas marked by an air of confusion or of duties that haven't been handled fully and responsibly and finish up the work that is still outstanding.

Except for one last Koz Alert on the 1st, the big Koz Quake storm of late January falls apart surprisingly quickly. By the 3rd already, it's only half its former power. I've often found that this rapid drop off is more noticable than the storm was, if only because humans perceive change more easily than steady conditions, no matter how extreme. There's a feeling of high energy that's dissipating, a sense of emotional let down. Life suddenly loses that exciting feeling, becoming normal and mundane again. Get some rest -- if you're like me, you've probably drained your reserves. Time to settle back into life as usual. Mercury is moving into Capricorn tonight, which takes even more of the edge off. Don't take this sense of malaise personally -- it's just changing energy.

Feb 8th to the 15th

The 8th to the 15th is a very weak transition period, where the energies show no discernible patterns at all. There's no "oomph" here, with the waveform hanging around in the 320 to 420 unit range. The harmonics are mostly H36, H48 and some H12 -- very disorganized and chaotic, but it may be hard to care about it much. The points of emphasis include 7-9 degrees and 27 degrees. There's not much happening here, so try to get by and rest up some. Things should pick up slightly around the 12th, when the new moon conjunct Uranus initiates some quirky influences. Look for anything new or unexpected that enters your life about now, since you may be dealing with it for quite some time.

Feb 16th to the 20th

The 16th to the 20th is a brief blip of a mini-storm, hardly worth worrying about. The waveform strengthens slightly, to the 350 to 430 unit area. The harmonics are mostly H12, H24 and some noise -- reasonably constructive, but still rough around the edges. The peaks are focused at 7-9 degrees and 24 degrees of each zodiac sign. For a few days, Venus and Mars are connecting with the remnants of the the January pattern, namely Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The Venus influence helps make this a soft, easy-going energy with a lot of social overtones. Look at the more emotional side of life now, letting your instincts and ideals guide you. It helps to be more open to others instead of trying to tough out everything alone. Being the rugged individualist now will likely create more friction than results.

Feb 21st to the end of the month

This energy quiets down briefly, then reforms as another mini-storm that lasts from the 21st to the end of the month. The waveform is in the 320-460 unit range, with a familiar list of harmonics. The focal areas are still 6-9 and 24 degrees. It's the Sun and Mercury triggering the outer planets now, making the energies more mental. There's a Venus-Pluto square on the 24th-25th that can stir up some deeper, more passionate emotions -- it's a good time to find out the real feelings behind issues. Taking a quick look at early March, the first two weeks look like more of this aimless kind of energy. These two weeks are under the full moon of Feb 27, however, which looks like a more lively chart than the last few weeks have been. Eventually, energies do pick up.
