February consists of a series of 3 intense planetary storms, separated by only a few days of weak transition periods. We're on the go almost all the time, it seems. Given that difficult harmonics (like H24, H4 and H8) are the norm most of the time, there are plenty of road blocks in your way to impede your progress. The zodiacal positions of the main peaks don't move much all month, due to so many planets hardly moving these days. I see 5 main energy periods this month.
Feb 1st to the 7th |
The 1st to the 7th is a continuation of the powerful storm that kicked in at the end of January. The waveform varies in strength from 355 to 511 units of strength, a low Koz Alert that signifies a fair amount of frenzied activity. The harmonics are a complex mixture of H6, H4, H12, H24 and a trace of H48 -- reasonably positive, though not all smooth sailing. The energies are most focused at 10-13 and 27 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check where this hits your own birth chart. The T-Square is triggered into action by the Sun and Venus. Venus is just coming off her direct station of Jan 31, so you may be overwhelmed by feelings, desires or intuitions that are out of the ordinary for you. As you try to make sense of these feelings, it may impact your sense of who you are at some level. Avoid coming off as some big authority figure, as others may want to take you down a notch or two. Mercury stands still on the 6th, so the thinking mind is rapidly going into the tank. You may have lots of "good ideas", but I'd hold off implementing anything until you've tested these ideas to see if they really hold water or not. Most likely, there are major holes in these plans.
Feb 8th to the 10th |
The 8th to the 10th is a brief transition period between storms as the faster moving planets play musical chairs with the T-Square. The waveform is considerably quieter now, 352 to 448 units. The harmonics are mostly H24, H48 and a fat H12 -- stressful and annoying for the most part. The focal areas are 9-12 and 25 degrees of each sign. Except for the usual lunar aspects, there's nothing happening of note during this time. Catch your breath and gear up for the next round. Starting anything new right now is pretty pointless.
OK, the storm's over, the energies are crashing, there's nothing happening astrologically for a few days. As has often been pointed out to me by frustrated readers, this crash after the storm is often worse than the storm. At least when the waveform is strong, there's a tailwind behind you to support your efforts. When the winds die down like this, you're pretty much on your own. The world around you is disorganized and disruptive, requiring much effort for few results when you'd really rather lie down and take a nap. Slow down, simplify your to-do list, get ready for a few days of choppy seas. The breaks this month are rather short.
Feb 11th to the 18th |
The 11th to the 18th is the next major storm, the most powerful all month. The waveform is in the 349 to 540 unit range, kicking things into high gear. The harmonics consist of H8, H24, H4 and H48 -- all stressful and difficult vibes. The peak areas are 9-12 and 25-26 degrees, once again. The trigger planets are mainly the Sun and Mercury, but most of the aspects are pretty rough ones (mainly 8th harmonic). Communications between people are particularly garbled now, so don't jump to conclusions with people around you. The full moon on the 14th, Valentine's Day, is also a major Koz Alert, so sparks may be flying between partners, not all of them good. Saturn is also sticking his nose in this pattern. That's good for practical work, but he can also be a trying troublemaker. Be patient and level headed (not always easy, I know) to get the most out of this period.
Feb 19th to the 22nd |
The 19th to the 22nd is another quiet transition time when the energies become weak and scattered. The waveform is in the 330 to 435 unit region, some of the wimpiest energies all month. The harmonics are a mix of H24, H48, H8 and a trace of H36 -- hard to make much headway now. The focal spots are 9-11, 26 and 20 degrees. Again, there's not much going on these days, so you're basically running on your own energies. Saturn is probably the most noticeable planet these days, so there might be a sluggish or depressed feeling in the air. Focus more on ideas that are practical than the flighty.
Feb 23rd to the 28th |
Finally, the 23rd to the 28th is one more significant storm. The waveform ranges from 339 to 534 units -- from nearly nothing happening to a fast paced Alert. The harmonics are H24, H6 and H12 -- frustrating on the surface, but more constructive if you persist. The peaks are mostly 9-11, 20-22 and 26 degrees of each sign. The Sun is increasingly acting as a trigger for the T-Square during this period. In fact, this storm doesn't reach full strength until early March. There are 2 "big aspects" going on, some action between Venus and Saturn, and Mercury stands still on the 28th. In short, there's a build up of intensity levels in our lives going on that refuses to dissipate quickly, a gift of the logjam effect. Circumstances may feel rushed or chaotic at times, so learning to "surf the energies" is an important skill now. We've got several more days of this as we head into March...
