Energy Patterns for August 2003 Energy Patterns for August 2003Aug 1st to the 9th -- the big wake up call for us.
Aug 10th to the 15th -- things cool off slightly for a time.
Aug 16th to the 25th -- a rather odd-ball storm.
Aug 26th to the end of the month -- one heck of a week!
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
Compared to July, which consisted of various shades of "blah" for the most part, August shows a highly active and varied pattern at work. There are some imposing storms coming up and the times in between are no slouches either. Considering that we are entering those new cycles of activity shortly, these storms give us a running start for the future challenges just now checking in. I would look at the month in terms of 4 major patterns.
Aug 1st to the 9th |
The 1st to the 9th is the stronger of the two storms, the biggest blast since late June. The waveform varies in strength from 358 to 570 units, a very potent Koz Alert. The harmonics include H12, H24 and H48 -- fairly positive and helpful influences mostly, although there are a few rough edges to deal with. The tallest peaks in this series of graphs start around 7 to 9 degrees of each zodiac sign, but by the end of the period, they have drifted to the 12 to 16 degree region; 25 to 27 degrees is also active. Check your birthchart to see if any of these areas affect your own planets. This storm pattern is a rather complex and contradictory influence. For instance, the most active planets are the egocentric Mars and the selfless Neptune -- which direction is going to dominate? It's probably a good time to work hard, but at activities that don't immediately involve you, since a strong ego interest is likely to bring out the worst in the situation. Have a "vision" about how things should be and stick to the high road. At least the detours will be more pleasant that way.
The end of July was a weak transition time and it takes a few days in early August before the storm springs to life. The strongest point in the storm is this graph on the 4th with the tall, thin peaks in a 12th harmonic that is beautiful to behold. H12 is typically a very helpful frequency that makes so many things go easily. The planetary pattern generating this fine waveform is rather complex in structure. The first grouping here is known as a Kite: Mercury is opposite Mars and sextile Saturn on one side and the Moon on the other. The other grouping is a T-square of Sun and Venus opposite Neptune and square the Moon. Obviously, there's a lot going on here. Emotions are likely to be running a little hot and thinking is a bit fuzzy, so stay grounded and be patient. Don't get carried away by the craziness around you -- hard to do during a Koz Alert. This energy continues for quite some time this month.
Aug 10th to the 15th |
The 10th to the 15th is kind of a strong, drifting pattern between the storms. The waveform cools off ever so slightly, down to the 355 to 489 unit range. The harmonics consist of H6, H4, H48 and H2 -- a complicated mixture that is apt to be more difficult than the previous period. The points of emphasis are 16 to 19 and 7 to 9 degrees of each sign. Even though the storm is technically over, things never really quiet down much. If anything, I'd keep your guard up these days. Some of the more difficult planets (such as Pluto, Mars and Saturn) seem most active right now, throwing roadblocks in our paths. It's probably best to focus on your work, because relationships with others may be tricky. Stay away from power games with others -- the results won't be pretty. If you tend to go inward a lot, your inner life may feel particularly intense.
Aug 16th to the 25th |
The 16th to the 25th is the second storm of the month. The waveform increases in power once more, ranging between 363 and 524 units (a low Koz Alert). The harmonics include H24, H4 and H6 -- the overall mood is becoming rough and demanding. The main peaks drift from 25 degrees of one sign over to 2 degrees of the next one during this time; 8 to 11 degrees are also active. The newer forces coming on the scene are showing up now. Fortunately, the more active planets (Jupiter, Sun, Venus, Uranus) are pretty positive and upbeat, taking the edge off those nasty harmonics. It's time to open yourself up to novel influences that you don't normally see in your life. They are exposing you to a broader vista of how to interact with the world around you and how to simply enjoy life more thoroughly. Let down your defenses and act more spontaneously, as your emotional shields only serve to lock you into an overly restrictive way of behaving. Let your sense of pleasure and fun guide you now (we probably need a break anyway!). Be experimental.
Aug 26th to the end of the month |
The 26th to the end of the month shows the energies starting to scatter a bit, but without totally loosing their thrust. The waveform is less intense now, cooling off to the 336 to 460 unit range. The harmonics consist mainly of H12, H4 and H48, with some messy noise frequencies in the mix -- generally constructive, though it's hard to maintain your focus. The peaks are exceptionally fat and disorganized, with areas of emphasis at 8 to 11 and 0 to 4 degrees. Despite the moderate strength in the waveform, this is an incredibly active period -- most of the activity this month falls in this period. The Jupiter-Uranus influence comes to a peak on the 29th and 30th, so life may be a bit wild and crazy. Mars is also speaking up, so express yourself in the most appropriate manner possible. There's no need to tempt an explosive situation by acting badly. There's also a possibility of feeling stuck in some area of your life, since both Mercury and Pluto are standing still on the 28th. That stuck feeling is a clue of some area that needs an overhaul. The new moon on the 27th should get us moving for a wild ride in September...
