Energy Patterns for January 2013

Major Waveform Patterns:

Jan 1st to the 7th -- the December storm hobbles along.
Jan 8th to the 14th -- a noisy transition time.
Jan 15th tot the 21st -- building up to the next blow.
Jan 22nd to the 27th -- a brief, mild storm.
Jan 28th to the end of the month -- back to a wimpy transition.

An online ephemeris for the month is available. Check Current Transits, too.

All the significant storm action in January has the double Yod for a backbone. Granted, this pattern is past its prime for the time being -- lucky for us, as we could use a break to assimilate matters. But it still gets triggered into action on a regular basis as the faster moving planets contact the backbone planets and bridge the aspects between them that have been widening and weakening since the solstice period. In short, a lot of more of the same, except that the influence on us is not so acute or intense. As I said, we need some unpressured time to make this new situation our own. The energies ebb and flow during the month, as typically happens. I see 5 main patterns in January.


Jan 1st to the 7th

The 1st to the 7th is still a decent storm pattern as the double Yod continues to effect us. The waveform varies in strength from 391 to a sizable Koz Alert of 540 units -- still plenty of energy available, though not so much that we can't handle it. The harmonics include a routine mix of H12, H24 and H48 -- mostly positive and constructive, but it has its trying moments, too. The energies are most focused at 7-11 and 24 degrees of various zodiac signs -- check your own birth chart to see where this hits you. Rumbles from the solstice storm are still echoing around. The outer planets are currently being triggered into action by Mercury and Mars. It's a good time for coming up with novel ideas or making plans for the future. Pay close attention to those moments when things seem suddenly clear. Obviously, you need to sit with these inspirations awhile and let them prove their worth before putting them into action, but you may be surprised at how often they work out.

Jan 8th to the 14th

The 8th to the 14th is more of a transitional period, with a noisy or malformed appearance. The energies are markedly less intense, ranging from 331 to 498 units. The harmonics consist of a fat H12, H24 and some noisy frequencies, mostly H48. The emphasized areas are mostly 6-10 and 0-3 degrees of each sign. This period is the first break we've had from the double Yod in over 3 weeks. If anything, Neptune is more active than the Yods. You may feel like you're in a fog during this time, rather lifeless or lacking motivation, especially before the new moon on the 11th. Check out if you can manage to get a break from the daily grind -- we're all overtaxed and tired. Bring old tasks to a conclusion and don't start anything new until after the new moon.

Jan 15th tot the 21st

The 15th to the 21st reveals a slow ramping up of energies as we build to the second storm of the month. The waveform is in the 342 to 486 unit region -- moderate energies continue. The harmonics are mostly a fat H12, H24 and H48 -- we can work with this, but don't expect all your plans to go smoothly. The energy peaks drift from 1 to 5 degrees of each sign, with secondary peaks at 12 and 8-9 degrees. During the first part of this period, Venus is bringing the double Yod back to life. This is followed by the Sun and Mercury making contact with Neptune. Pay attention to feelings and intuitive hunches now, as inspirations come through in a more intangible form than before. Close relationships could be more tempestuous than usual when Venus goes over Pluto on the 16th, so avoid getting into any soap opera situations. Your circumstances may seem vague or confusing at times, so don't rely on the thinking mind to figure things out. Get ready for the coming storm.

Jan 22nd to the 27th

Fortunately, the storm between the 22nd to the 27th is quite a mild one. The waveform is low intensity, only 344 to 453 units. The harmonics are a mix of H6, H12, H24 and a trace of noise, some of the most positive influences we've had all month. The strongest areas are 5-7, 10-12 and 24 degrees of each sign. Mercury is the active planet for receiving the Yod vibrations, so the thinking mind is in overdrive once more. It's easier to get good results for your efforts now than it's been for a long time, so put this period to good use. You're full of novel ideas now, though not all of them are practical. Make the most of this week.

Jan 28th to the end of the month

Finally, the 28th to the end of the month is another lifeless transition period. There's not much "oomph!" now, only 342 to 421 units. The harmonics are H48 and a fat H12 -- life is busy, noisy and hard to keep on track. The areas of emphasis are 10-12, 5-7 and 25 degrees. Other than the Jupiter station on the 30th, there's not much going on now. The nice thing about Jupiter going direct is some of the roadblocks and inhibitions that have been holding us back will slowly start to lift. Just don't expect immediate results -- there's no tailwind for us in this wimpy waveform. This pattern should continue into early February.
