Energy Patterns for April 2004 Energy Patterns for April 2004Apr 1st to the 5th -- starting out on the slow side.
Apr 6th to the 14th -- a wacky T-square in the air!
Apr 15th to the 23rd -- a rather strong transition time.
Apr 24th to the end of the month -- time to shift into overdrive!
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
For about three weeks, April seems to be just warming up. All the energy patterns during this time are weak and disorganized, except for rare moments of brilliance now and then. It isn't until the final week that the energies appear to take off finally. This last period will be more fast paced and hectic than we're up to handling, so take it easy and pace yourself. It looks as though there are 4 main waveform patterns to consider this month.
Apr 1st to the 5th |
The 1st to the 5th is a weak, unfocused transition period following the activity at the end of March. The waveform is stuck at the 312 to 415 unit levels -- so wimpy it's practically on life support. The harmonics are mostly H48, with some H12 and H24 -- draining and without focus. The major peaks during this time are scattered all over from 0 to 15 degrees of each zodiac sign -- essentially, there's no emphasis now. There's no tailwind behind us for any purpose, so I'd really try to kick back as much as feasible. Take care of the little things and relax some if you're stressed out. However, this is a tough time to take on bigger matters. You'll probably feel burnout quite quickly from major demands, so wait until the universe is supporting your efforts more.
Apr 6th to the 14th |
The 6th to the 14th is a weak, inconstant storm of sorts. It has its powerful moments, but it seems like this storm never gets its act together. The waveform varies in strength from 370 to 492 units -- busier and more driven than before, but in a fickle manner. The harmonics consist of H12, H4, H24 and H48 -- it leans towards the rough and challenging end of the scale. The main points of emphasis include 5 to 9 and 23 to 25 degrees of each sign -- check where this hits your birthchart. This period opens with Mercury standing still and going into reverse gear, turning the thinking mind to mush for the next 3 weeks. If I had to point to major planets that are active now, it would include Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Jupiter lends a protective, upbeat energy to the circumstances, but the others tend to be disruptive and chaotic in nature. Take on new efforts if you wish, but be prepared for the unexpected. Keep room in your plans for improvising, as the interruptions are sometimes better than the original plan.
Apr 15th to the 23rd |
The 15th to the 23rd is another transition time, though this one is surprisingly strong on occasion. The waveform varies in strength from 315 units to 480 units -- generally weak and listless, but with flashes of power now and then. The harmonics are mostly H24, H6 and H48 -- mostly rough energies, despite a loose fan-shaped pattern of outer planets. There are a wide variety of zodiac points that are emphasized at various times: 6 to 9, 21 to 25, 12 to 17 and 3 degrees of each zodiac sign. This is another period with little activity and no obvious focal points, so it's hard to say too much. There's probably not much to do before the new moon, so I'd lay off starting anything new until after the 19th. Note that this new moon is also a solar eclipse, so you may find yourself heading into some clean up work in some area of your life (pay attention to which house in your birthchart contains the eclipse degree, 29Ar49). Whatever actions you undertake after the eclipse will have long term consequences, so be prepared to hang in there for the long haul.
Apr 24th to the end of the month |
Finally, the 24th to the end of the month is the only genuine big storm of the entire month. The waveform kicks into action, ranging from 382 to 522 units, a series of low Koz Alerts. The harmonics are a clearcut H24 and H6 -- active, somewhat difficult, but also laced with opportunities if you work at it. The energies are focused at 7 and 22 degrees of each sign, no wandering around. This time starts out with a powerful and menacing Mars-Pluto opposition, with lots of Pluto reverberations in coming days, so keep a low profile. There's the urge to throw your weight around, but it's likely that too much ego will backfire eventually. Mercury is standing still again on the 30th, allowing the mental fog to start lifting as we head into May. Get busy and take advantage of the energies, as long as you don't ruffle feathers in the process. This storm continues into the first few days of May.
