The energies are dominated for a third month now by the Double Yod, the pattern of outer planets that came together in mid December and has been calling the shots ever since. Pluto and Uranus are responsible for the deep spiritual changes and the mayhem on the physical plane we're experiencing; Jupiter and Saturn channel these changes through society at large, triggering important cultural changes on the greater stage; while Chiron presents us with those emotional limitations and roadblocks that have been holding us back all too long. All the major planetary storms in recent months have occurred when the faster moving planets join forces with this Yod background pattern and let us experience those powerful influences in our lives first hand. We've still got several more months of this pattern, so get used to it (if you can). There appear to be 4 major patterns in February.
Feb 1st to the 3rd |
The 1st to the 3rd is a continuation of the rather lifeless transition period that started around Jan 28. The waveform varies in strength from 356 to 427 units, hardly any power whatsoever. The harmonics are a mixture of a fat H12, H24, H48 and some assorted noise frequencies -- rather scattered and disorganized, though a modicum of progress is possible if you persevere. The energies are mostly focused at 12-15 and 0-2 degrees of various zodiac signs -- look where this hits your own chart. We're between storms now. Venus and Mars both change signs on the 1st, encountering Neptune first of all. Neptune adds a dreamy, unfocused mood to everything, bringing our emotional responses to life's situations to the fore. If you're feeling moody, this is probably the reason. It's hard to motivate yourself to get anything done until Mars moves past Neptune in a few days.
Feb 4th to the 16th |
The 4th to the 16th is the long Double Yod storm for the month. The waveform gains strength quickly, ranging from 349 to a high of 564 units, the most powerful blast in about 6 weeks. The harmonics include H12, H4, H6, H24 and some H48 towards the end as the storm falls apart -- a mixture of helpful and difficult wavelengths that are hard to tame. The peaks in the waveform drift from 5 to 12 degrees as the faster planets cross the Yods; 20 degrees comes up often enough, too. The influences now are powerful and complicated, involving all but a handful of the major planets. In particular, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all passing through the Yod background. It's these multiple triggers that give this storm it's incredible "oomph!" and make it so long lasting. Feelings and intuitions are powerful, the thinking mind is brimming with wild ideas, you want to get up and get things done, although you may encounter lots of complications and setbacks along the way. Consider these problems an object lesson in what you shouldn't be doing anymore -- the universe is trying to push us in new directions. The storm is somewhat calmer after the new moon on the 10th, so it might be easier to get some work done in the second half of this period if you're more disciplined and less scattered in your efforts. Make the most of this time!
It's amazing how rapidly we switch from weak, disorganized waveforms to the strongest Koz Alert all month on the 4th. Partly this is just a fluke based on the Moon's position in early Sagittarius, right on the tallest peak in the graph. However, Venus and Mars are moving into place to trigger the Yod planets into action. If you count the Moon, there are 10 planets in this pattern -- it's powerful, complicated and hard to describe. Right behind Venus and Mars is Mercury, entering Pisces on the 5th and slowing down due to his upcoming retrograde station. Between these 3 trigger planets, the Double Yod will be ringing like a bell for nearly 2 weeks! The energies are wild and overwhelming, so it may be challenging to surf this wave skillfully. Try to put this influence to good use. Even if you're only partially successful with your efforts, it would be a waste to squander all these good vibes. Just remember that the outer planets bring in a higher spiritual twist to your actions now. If you don't accommodate this higher quality adequately, even your best efforts will fall flat -- that's just the new rules these days. Anyway, get ready for a running start today. There's no opportunity to "ooze" slowly into the storm...
Feb 17th to the 22nd |
The storm collapses into a weak, messy transition period between the 17th and the 22nd. The waveform is pretty wimpy now, varying between 321 to 406 units. The harmonics are a fat H12, H48 and H4 -- mildly positive, but still pretty scattered and counterproductive. The points of emphasis are around 11-13 and 5-9 degrees of each sign. After all the activity of big storm, there's hardly anything going on now -- it can feel like a big letdown. There are a couple of contractive influences at work now. The main one is Saturn's retrograde station on the 18th, an indication that you need to start pulling back and relying on your own resources more. The other is the Sun's passage into Pisces, followed by a conjunction with Neptune. It's hard to express your will power and do things your way under such contacts. It's a bad time to behave in an ego centered manner, though I doubt such people will be deterred from throwing their weight around anyway. Slow down and mellow out. The strong tailwind we were riding a week ago is definitely gone. You're on your own.
Feb 23rd to the end of the month |
Finally, the Yod energies pick up again from the 23rd to the end of the month, although the waveforms are too messy and disorganized to build up to a really good storm. The strength levels are 330 to 493 units, pretty moderate levels for a change. The harmonics are a familiar mix of a fat H12, H48, H4 and H24 -- somewhat constructive, but all the undertones are on the difficult side. The emphasized degrees are 6-10, 1 and 19 degrees. The Sun is contacting the early parts of the Yods during this time. In fact, the tallest waveform is around the time of the full moon on the 25th, when the Sun and Moon pull the whole pattern together. Mercury goes retrograde on the 23rd, so the thinking mind is out to lunch now. Double check your important work, as mistakes and little gotchas tend to creep into the picture. Venus moves into Pisces on the 25th, conjuncting Neptune on the 28th, so the feeling and intuition side of the mind is off-the-dial active now, bordering on psychic awareness. It's tough to focus now, especially on work. This energy muddles forward into early March.
