Energy Patterns for March 2013

Major Waveform Patterns:

Mar 1st to the 9th -- this storm is just the warm up act.
Mar 10th to the 12th -- rather strong for a transition.
Mar 13th to the 19th -- the energies are slowing building up.
Mar 20th to the end of the month -- one wild planetary show!

March is one of those months that happens only once every few years. It's basically one long storm. The usual weak times and transition periods between the main storms are still rather strong and organized -- we hardly get any breaks. The smaller of the main storms reaches into the mid Alert region, while the last 10 days reach up to 693 units, above the top of the graph! In between are times of moderate activity that should be easier to surf. The backbone of all this action is the Double Yod once more, consisting of Uranus, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn and Chiron. This group is triggered by the faster moving planets frequently during the month. There are 4 main energy patterns to discuss.


Mar 1st to the 9th

The 1st to the 9th is the lesser storm of March. The waveform varies in strength from 363 to 544 units, a respectable Koz Alert. The harmonics consist of H6, H12 and H24 -- useful and constructive for the most part, but with with a few rough spots here and there. The energies are mostly focused at 9-12 degrees of each zodiac sign, with secondary peaks at 6 and 26 degrees -- see where this hits your own birth chart. The Double Yod is waking up again, under the triggering influences of the Sun, Venus and finally Mercury. The energies produce the kind of change in our lives that starts by breaking down your resistance's to growing and messing up relationships with the people you must deal with on a daily basis. It makes people emotionally touchy and on edge, so it's important to slow down and be patient with each other. Old preconceived ideas and assumptions are especially prone to challenge. You'll know where the areas of living are that need work -- your lessons come packaged as all those things that irritate you and cause you to put up your shields. Fortunately, circumstances improve considerably when you get the hint and start to cooperate with the process.

Mar 10th to the 12th

The 10th to the 12th is a rather strong transition period, marked mostly by a barely noticeable change in harmonics. The waveform settles into the 361 to 480 unit region -- moderate and easily manageable intensity levels. The harmonics are mostly H6, H12, H24 and H48, a bit of noise that makes life more chaotic. The energies are focused at 9-10, 5 and 25 degrees. The energies during this brief period are bottoming out and then rebounding after the new moon on the 11th and Mars' entrance to Aries on the 12th. Stop and catch your breath because this is really no break in the action that continues all month. The thinking mind is pretty active after the new moon, but only if you let your intuition take the upper hand. Dogmatic thinking tends to get you in trouble, so be flexible.

Mar 13th to the 19th

The 13th to the 19th is a slow ramping up of the energies as we head into the storm at the end of the month. The waveform is still rather moderate in power, 362 to 482 units. The harmonics include H12, H6, H24 and H48, a familiar mixture that is mostly constructive, but difficult at times. The areas of emphasis are 7-11, 4 and 25 degrees. Even though the Double Yod is getting organized again and life is picking up speed, there is little traditional astrological action going on during this period. The big event is Mercury's direct station on the 17th. The thinking mind will gradually wake up and come out of moth balls after this time. Despite the fact that this pattern would make a decent planetary storm in normal months, keep in mind that this waveform is just the lead up for the real show. Try to harness this energy for your own plans as this is a constructive and positive influence without being overwhelming about it. It doesn't get much better than this.

Mar 20th to the end of the month

Finally, the 20th to the end of the month is one amazing storm, the likes we haven't seen for several years. The waveform varies from a depth of 381 units as the storm kicks in to an incredible 693 units on the 29th, way up there in the Koz Quake stratosphere. The harmonics are H6, H12, H4 and H24 -- the harsher harmonics are getting more prominent. The peaks are at 9-11 and 24 degrees. The show starts with the Sun and Venus moving into Aries on the 20th and 21st. Following that are a series of triggerings of the Double Yod planets by Mars, Sun, Venus and Mercury. In fact, all the main planets are part of this complex and potent pattern. We'll be spending a lot of this time in the Koz Quake and high Alert region, so it's easy to be blown over by all this power. Take note of where these stresses are and promise to clean up these problem areas when matters settle down a little. The key seems to be to simplify your life rather than take on new demands. Letting go of things that no longer matter is an ongoing theme. Make the most of this time, if you can. This storm is still going strong as we head into April.

Yep, that's right -- this waveform goes right off the top of the graph! Plain vanilla Koz Quakes are only once or twice a year, but something this strong is extremely rare. I've only seen a graph like this a handful of times over the last 30 years. It's hard to say anything specific about this influence, since almost all the major planets are all mooshed together. The Moon is going over Saturn in Scorpio, while the tallest peaks (bouncing back and forth between Cancer and Capricorn) emphasize Pluto, so these harsh energies may be coloring the whole pattern. The Jupiter-Pluto quincunx is in a few hours. In other words, the Yods are screaming louder now than anytime in the last 3 months. We're going to be in Quake territory frequently this week, so get ready for a life on overwhelm. The storm is still going strong as we enter April -- see you then!
