Energy Patterns for May 2005 Energy Patterns for May 2005May 1st to the 9th -- big storm collapsing.
May 10th to the 21st -- the major storm of the month.
May 22nd to the 25th -- a transition period with a heavy Yod.
May 26th to the end of the month -- some moderate storm energy.
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
The waveforms in May are a pretty typical selection of storms (a bit on the rough side) separated by weak transition periods. There's apt to be a hectic or stressful mood to the storms, since the harmonics are mostly on the difficult side. At least they are generally moderate in strength, nothing overwhelming. In fact, all the waveforms are moderately quiet for the most part. These are energies that are are usually easy to get through, even if the going is not always pleasant. I see 4 main patterns this month.
May 1st to the 9th |
The 1st to the 9th is the end of the storm pattern from late April and the start of a long transition period. The waveform starts out on the 1st with a strength of 475 units, then collapses down between 319 and 430 the rest of the week -- no "oomph!" this period! The harmonics are a mixture of H6, H48 and H24 -- somewhat positive, but full of hassles and disruptions as well. The energies seem to be focused a few degrees on either side of 8, 24 and 17 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check where this hits in your own birthchart. Although it looks like May starts out with a bang on the 1st, it's more the demise of the previous storm than anything else. Most of the time, there's not much going on this first week. This is mainly a good time for cleaning up old projects and putting things in order for the future (i.e., after the new moon on the 8th). There's some emphasis on Jupiter currently, which should smooth the way a little and raise your mood after the demanding end of April storm.
May 10th to the 21st |
The 10th to the 21st is the bigger of the two storms this month. It ranges from a strength of 327 units at the start to a high of 523 on the 17th, a low Koz Alert. The harmonics are still a challenging mix of H24, H12 and H6, with the gentler harmonics lessening the harsh impact. The brunt of the energies are focused at 8 to 12, 22 to 24 and 16 degrees of each zodiac sign. The storm builds slowly, not really getting underway fully until the 15th or so. This is a complex pattern based on the effects of Jupiter and Uranus, with an assist from Mercury, Venus and Mars. In particular, Mars is going over Uranus at this time (exact on the 15th), a rather explosive mixture. Literally. I envision Uranus as the dynamite stick and Mars as the lit fuse. This is a good time for purposeful activity and starting out in new directions, but if you don't have a goal in mind, it could turn into a rather frustrating time. The Neptune station on the 19th, with all the attendent mental disarray, doesn't help much in the focus department. Put yourself to work, slowly and patiently, ready to change directions as the situation demands. This can be a useful time if you're diligent, despite the roadblocks encountered.
May 22nd to the 25th |
The 22nd to the 25th is a noisy and disorganized transition period between the storms as the faster moving planets rearrange their positions on the stage. The waveform is pretty quiet most of the time, ranging from a low of 327 units (mostly brain dead) to 454 units as we start to head into the next storm. The harmonics are a mix of H12, H48 and H24 -- easy going on the surface, but with plenty of bumps and detours. The areas of emphasis are pretty familiar by now: 16 to 18, 22 to 24 and 8 degrees of each sign. There's a rather "heavy" mood to this time, due to a Yod pattern right after the full moon that stars Mercury, Saturn and Pluto. It may feel like the weight of the universe is on your shoulders as you need to make some decisions and start some action. This is basically a time for overhauling old structures in your life and making a break with the past. The old ways are no longer an option. Make certain that your actions are all above board and for the highest good, since Saturn and Pluto are both very unforgiving of shady dealings. It may look like your circumstances are falling apart, but it's simply a way of clearing the way for new influences on the way. It's a good time for spring cleaning, at any level of your life.
May 26th to the end of the month |
Finally, the 26th to the end of the month is another storm pattern, this one less imposing than the first. The waveforms vary in strength from 332 to 488 units, rather moderate for a storm. The harmonics are a blend of H24 and H6, which should feel pretty familiar by now. The areas of emphasis include 20 to 23 and 8 degrees of each sign. The Saturn-Pluto themes continue into this storm period, so the cosmic thumbscrews are still being tightened on us. At least it's not in the Koz Alert region -- small blessings. This may be an intensely emotional period, as Venus is one of the planets triggering this storm. Hang in there! This storm continues into early June.
