Energy Patterns for February 2004

Major Waveform Patterns:

Feb 1st to the 5th -- more noisy transition stuff.
Feb 6th to the 14th -- the first of this month's storms.
Feb 15th to the 20th -- out of breath again.
Feb 21st to the 24th -- building up to the second blow.
Feb 25th to the end of the month -- yet another blast of storm energy.

An online ephemeris for the month is available.

The pattern of waveforms in February appears much more focused and organized than January was. There's a rather typical routine of two healthy sized storms separated by quieter times. It appears there are 5 main waveform patterns to consider.


Feb 1st to the 5th

The 1st to the 5th is a continuation of the weak, noisy period at the end of January. The waveforms vary in strength from 303 units of strength (nearly comatose) to 450 units (moderate energies). The harmonics include H48, some H4 and a lot of noise -- pretty demanding and scattered. The taller peaks in the graphs are indicating a focus of influence around 0 to 2, 14 to15 and 25 to 29 degrees of each zodiac sign -- see where this hits your own birthchart. It's hard to see in the waveform, but the taller peaks point to a T-Square of Jupiter, Pluto and Venus, with an assist from Mercury. Sometime on the 1st, the Moon also joins in, making it a Grand Cross. This T-Square is a bit of a "sleeper" and I wouldn't be surprised if its effects aren't deeper acting than you'd expect. There's a kind of quiet moodiness in the air, though it's hard to pin it down to anything in particular. You may feel "boxed in" or held back somehow, but the restraints are more likely internal than in the outer world. Things will look brighter when the energies pick up.

Feb 6th to the 14th

The 6th to the 14th is the first of the big storms this month. The waveform picks up energy very dramatically, ranging from 355 units on a slow day to a low Koz Alert of 510 units on the 9th. The harmonics are mostly difficult, but highly focused, consisting of a mixture of H24, H12, H8 and H6. There are two main areas of emphasis in each zodiac sign. The first starts out about 0 degrees, drifting over to 8 degrees by the end of the period, while the other is in the 15 to 18 degree area. This pattern is the first appearance of that complex Saturn and Pluto picture I mentioned elsewhere. Essentially, all the personal planets are connecting up with Saturn and Pluto these days, creating quite a tangled mess of aspects. This may be a time when you need to make some hurried decisions and put things into action. Just keep an eye open for the deeper, hidden aspects of the situation, since you may not see all the details clearly. However, get busy and get things done -- it's good to have some cosmic support for your efforts.

Feb 15th to the 20th

The 15th to the 20th is a jumbled and noisy transition period after the storm. The intensity levels cool off considerably, dropping to the 313 to 446 unit levels. The harmonics are a mix of H48, H12 and H6 -- scattered and demanding, but with some pleasant overtones. The main points of emphasis are around 3, 7 to 9 and 14 to 16 degrees of each sign. This period starts out with a conjunction of Mercury and Neptune on the 15th, and these two planets seem to dominate the next few days. This favors mental work of a dreamy or imaginative sort, though I wouldn't try to balance your checkbook right now. You probably won't feel like getting off the couch and doing something about these ideas, however. It's OK to just kick back some now.

Feb 21st to the 24th

The 21st to the 24th is the build up for the next storm. The energies pick up quickly, hitting 491 units on the 21st, though it drops as low as 368 units other times. The harmonics include H36 and H12 -- somewhat clumsy, but pretty decent energy. The taller peaks are around 13 to 15 degrees. This may well be the most easy-going time all month. Venus and Mars join up with Jupiter and Neptune for a few days of laid back and take it easy. Keep an eye out for new inspiration and then let the big ideas flow. Of course, you may not feel like any heavy duty work still, so pace yourself. Love relationships could be very interesting just now.

Feb 25th to the end of the month

Finally, the 25th to the end of the month is the second storm. The waveform peaks out at 514 units on the 27th (a low Koz Alert), though it goes as low as 365 units at other times. The harmonics are H24, H36 and H6 -- on the border between tough and cushy. The major peaks are at 2 to 5 and 14 to 15 degrees of each sign. This strikes me as a fast moving time, with a lot of mental simulation. The conjunction of Mercury and Uranus on the 27th, in particular, is good for opening up to some new ideas or ways of thinking. You have to be flexible now, since the universe is liable to throw you a curve or two. It's also a very optimistic energy, so get off your duff and do something with it! The waveform is fading a bit as we move into March, but it then reforms next month for a week or so.
