Energy Patterns for July 2012 Energy Patterns for July 2012Jul 1st to the 5th -- the storm from late June continues.
Jul 6th to the 9th -- a transition period with a kick.
Jul 10th to the 24th -- one long, powerful storm.
Jul 25th to the end of the month -- the storm is slowly losing steam.
An online ephemeris for the month is available.
July has a couple of potent storms that take up most of the month. The transition periods between the storms are also rather strong, despite the symptoms (mostly in the harmonics) that the planets are temporarily out of sync with each other. In short, this is a time that will have a powerful impact on us at many levels. As is frequently the case, the backbone of these storm patterns is based on the slow moving outer planets, tied together by the string of "big aspects" that Jupiter is throwing off during the month. More precisely, the Uranus-Pluto square of Jun 24, with help from Chiron, is still highly active and having a major influence on us, particularly when Jupiter is also part of this picture at mid month. Despite a first impression that July is practically one long storm, I figure there are actually 4 distinct energy patterns to consider.
Jul 1st to the 5th |
The 1st to the 5th is a continuation of the significant storm that checked in at the end of June. The waveform is quite powerful, varying in strength from 437 to 541 units (a good sized Koz Alert). The harmonics are a complex blend of H12, H4, H6 and H24 -- mostly positive and constructive, although there's a difficult overtone to these energies. The energies in this waveform are concentrated at 7-8 and 22 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check your own birth chart to see if you have planets in these hot zones. This first pattern is based on Uranus, Chiron and Pluto, of course, which are being triggered into action by the Sun, Mercury and Venus. If you tune into your intuition, you may get a glimpse of the turmoil and overhaul going on at a mostly unconscious level. Try to make sense of this somehow, even if at the level of ego awareness and rational explanations there's not much tangible to hang onto. It's also a bit difficult to put these impressions into concrete action, as Mars is winding up his long stay in Virgo and moving into Libra on the 3rd. Some of these obstacles may lighten up after the full moon on the 3rd. But considering how much the energies are in turmoil and transition, don't get bent out of shape if life feels somewhat crazy.
Jul 6th to the 9th |
The 6th to the 9th is a brief, but surprisingly intense transition period . The waveform cools off a little, ranging from 399 to 502 units -- still plenty strong. The harmonics consist of H6, H12, H48 and H24 -- useful energies, but with a tendency to spin out of your control. The emphasized areas are still 7-8 and 23 degrees of each sign. There's not much happening in traditional terms during this short period. Dreamy Neptune seems to be causing much of the activity just now. Despite wanting to express yourself or get some physical work done, it's hard to focus your efforts if they are solely for personal reasons. Look at the bigger picture and how your actions effect people around you. The less egotistical your motivations, the more positive will be the outcomes of your actions. Don't sweat the distractions and blockages that are holding your back -- this will pass shortly.
Jul 10th to the 24th |
The 10th to the 24th is one long, blockbuster storm period that stirs things up for us. The waveform builds in strength again, varying from 391 to 555 units -- situations can become quite intense or overwhelming at times. The harmonics include H6, H24, H4, H12 and H48 at various times, a volatile mixture of constructive and difficult frequencies. The focal areas are 6-9 and 23-24 degrees of each sign. Once more, the outer planets (with the possible exception of Neptune) are ringing loud and clear during this storm, whipped into action by Jupiter, Mars and the Sun. This is perhaps the most positive time for getting work done, as Mars (will power and physical activity) is so prominent and Jupiter helps produce good results. However, Mars is forming an explosive T-square with Uranus and Pluto now, so influences beyond your control may derail your efforts. Mental work is not favored, as Mercury and Uranus both go retrograde early in this period. Question your basic assumptions two or three times, as you may be unwittingly confused about the facts or jumping to unwarranted conclusions. The big picture is changing rapidly these days, so remain open to the unexpected and unusual. Everyday relationships are active, but can be confusing, so give yourself a reality check with other people frequently. Make the most of this time!
Jul 25th to the end of the month |
Finally, the 25th to the end of the month is a period when the big storm starts to settle down, though it doesn't fall apart completely. The waveform cools off to the 390 to 546 unit region -- much more moderate most of the time, although it gets into Alert territory a couple of times. The harmonics are mostly H6, H24, H48 and H12 -- generally constructive, but somewhat disorganized. The focal areas are still 7-9 and 23 degrees of each sign. Uranus and Mercury are particularly active now, despite being retrograde, so paradoxically you may be feeling flashes of mental clarity and inspiration. Pluto and the Sun are also in the limelight, so make certain your deeper motivations are above reproach. This milder energy continues into early August...
