Energy Patterns for May 2002 Energy Patterns for May 2002May 1st to the 9th -- the biggest storm in 4 months!
May 10th to the 14th -- time to kick back after the action.
May 15th to the 24th -- a milder, upbeat storm.
May 25th to the end of the month -- some heavy influences kicking in.
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
Due to the positions of the outer planets this summer, we seem to be treated with a major planetary storm in the early part of each coming month. May sets the basic pattern. There are 4 main energy patterns to look at this month, starting with a sizable storm the first 9 days. Thereafter, the waveforms are more moderate and less organized.
May 1st to the 9th |
The 1st to the 9th is the best planetary storm we've seen since the howling blasts last January. The waveform ranges in strength from 410 units of aspect strength to a high Koz Alert of 587 -- the world is being whipped into overdrive the first part of the month. The harmonics in this waveform include H12, H24 and some ill-defined noise frequencies -- the energies are quite positive and constructive, even if they aren't always smooth. The energies are concentrated around 12-15 degrees and 28 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check your birthchart to see if any of your planets lie in these regions. In addition to the large number of planets around 12 degrees of various signs, there's a huge pileup of planets in the sign of Gemini. This should be an intense time, especially within relationships. The Venus-Mars-Saturn grouping opposite Pluto makes for a volatile romantic mixture, with the emotions between partners blowing hot and cold. Given all the ambiguous feelings going around, it's probably a good idea to step back from the situation and not take things too seriously. Channel your energies into constructive work if you want to avoid causing trouble for yourself. Check your ego at the door -- it'll help a lot!
May 10th to the 14th |
The 10th to the 14th is the scattered transition time after the storm. The waveform cools off considerably, restricting itself to the 350-450 unit range. The harmonics tend towards more chaotic frequencies, mostly H12, H48, some H36 and noise. The taller peaks focus at 15 degrees of each sign (although they spread out about 4 degrees either way) and at 0 degrees, right on the boundary lines between signs. These fat, distorted peaks mirror the chaotic energies we'll be feeling. Instead of being sharply focused, our attention is constantly shifting from one issue to another. Neptune is coming to a halt at its station on the 13th, so there's a foggy, ill-defined air about everything. The true issues are probably hidden from view for now. Venus and Mars are active still, so romantic concerns are still on the front burner.
May 15th to the 24th |
The 15th to the 24th is the next storm pattern, much milder than the first one. The waveforms are only 380-480 units in strength this time, quite moderate energies that can be readily utilized. The harmonics are taking a turn towards more harsh and demanding influences, with H24, H12 and a touch of H4 in the mix. The main points of emphasis are in the 11-14 and 25-29 degree region of each zodiac sign. Despite the harsher harmonics, this could be an exciting and novel time. Jupiter and Uranus are among the most active planets these days, lending an air of optimism and unexpectedness to our lives. If you find yourself stuck in some uncomfortable ruts lately, this period could be a great time to break free. Just be willing to reassess your positions if you find yourself creating friction with others. Most of the important astrological events this month go off during this time, making this period quite active. The 19th and 20th could be especially dramatic.
May 25th to the end of the month |
The 25th to the end of the month looks a little weaker and more disorganized. The waveform is slightly weaker (350 to 440 units), while the harmonics (H48, H12, H36) are generally scattered and confusing. The emphasized areas are 14-16 and 29 degrees, for the most part. Despite the overall weakness of this pattern, we are heading into the guts of the Giant for the last time, starting with the final Saturn-Pluto opposition (ouch!) on the 25th and the lunar eclipse on the 26th. This period could be very challenging, particularly since there are overtones of a karmic payback time going on. As I said earlier, this is a good time to clean up unfinished business so you can make a clean start in a few months. This energy lasts until about June 2nd, when the next important storm blows in.
