INCOMING: MAJOR SOLAR FLARE AND RADIATION STORM | Spaceweather.com

MAJOR SOLAR FLARE AND RADIATION STORM: Departing sunspot AR2673 erupted again on Sept.10th (1606 UT), producing a major X8-class solar flare.  Protons accelerated toward Earth by the explosion are swarming around our planet now, causing a moderately strong solar radiation storm. (continued below)


NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flare's extreme UV flash

A pulse of ultraviolet and X-radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, triggering a shortwave radio blackout over the Americas (blackout map #1). That blackout is now subsiding. However, an even stronger blackout of shortwave radio communications around the poles is still underway (blackout map #2). Stay tuned for updates about this significant event.

Space Weather Prediction Center Says Solar Phenomena May Continue


Space Weather Prediction Center Says Solar Phenomena May Continue

09/08/2017

The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) said today that G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm levels were observed at 2350 UTC on September 7 and again at 0151 UTC and 1304 UTC on September 8, due to the effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME). A G3 (Strong) or greater warning was in effect until 1500 UTC today.


Solar flares have adversely affected HF nets attempting to gather information on the three current active hurricanes.


A G4 storm can cause widespread voltage-control problems, and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. HF radio propagation will be sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, low-frequency radio navigation disrupted, and aurora may be seen at lower-than-typical latitudes.


A S1-S2 (Minor-Moderate) solar radiation storm warning for 10 MeV protons was extended and is now in effect until September 8 at 2359 UTC. An S1 or S2 solar radiation storm can have minor effects on HF propagation over polar paths.


An X-class flare (R3-strong radio blackout) occurred on September 7 at 1436 UTC. The source region for this flare was Region 2673. A narrow, slow-moving CME was observed with this event, but was determined not to have an Earth-directed component. “This region continues to produce significant flare activity,” the SWPC said.

Sputnik News: Sun Sends Out Sixth Solar Flare in Less Than Week


Environment

NASA said that the sun has emitted a sixth solar flare in just five days.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The sun has emitted a sixth solar flare in just five days, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said Friday.


"The sun emitted one mid-level solar flare on Sept. 8, 2017. The flare peaked at 3:49 a.m. EDT. This is the sixth sizable flare from the same active region since Sept. 4," the space agency said.

The flare was classified as an M-class one, measuring a tenth the size of the most intense flares, the X-class flares.


An active region on the sun has been sending flares toward the Earth since Monday. The one registered Wednesday was an X class. Scientists said it was the most powerful flare in the past 12 years.


Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Although solar radiation cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans, it can disrupt communications signals.

MASSIVE EXPLOSION ON THE FARSIDE OF THE SUN | Spaceweather.com

Spaceweather.com


SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS:
For the 4th day in a row, Earth is inside a stream of solar wind flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere. The steady pressure of this stream is doing little, however, to disturb our planet's magnetic field. NOAA forecasters say the chance of a geomagnetic storm on July 24th is only 15%. Free: Aurora Alerts


MASSIVE EXPLOSION ON THE FARSIDE OF THE SUN:
On Sunday July 23rd, a spectacular CME emerged from the farside of the sun. Coronagraphs onboard the orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) tracked the fast-moving cloud as it billowed into space:



NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft, which has a partial view of the sun's farside, identified the source of the blast as active sunspot AR2665, familiar to readers of Spaceweather.com who watched the behemoth cross the Earthside of the sun earlier this month. STEREO-A observed an intense flash of extreme UV radiation from the sunspot's magnetic canopy:



The intensity of the flash suggests (but does not prove) that the underlying flare might have been the most intense kind: X-class.

If this explosion had occurred 2 weeks ago when the huge sunspot was facing Earth, we would be predicting strong geomagnetic storms in the days ahead. Instead, the CME is racing away from our planet ... and directly toward Mars. Compared to Earth, the Red Planet is currently on the opposite side of the sun, and apparently in the crosshairs of this CME. Mars rovers Curiosity and Opportunity might be observing the effects of a solar storm later this week.

Coincidentally, yesterday's farside explosion occurred on the 5th anniversary of another significant farside event: The Solar Superstorm of July 23, 2012.  That superstorm, which has been compared to the historic Carrington Event of 1859, could have caused widespread power blackouts if it had not missed our planet.

Sunspot AR2665 will be back on the Earthside of the sun a little more than a week from now. If the sunspot remains active, it could bring a new round of geomagnetic storms and auroras to our planet in early August. Stay tuned. Free: Solar Flare Alerts

INCOMING! - ANOTHER CME IS ON THE WAY (People Have the Power!)

Don't know about you, but I am alternately energized and wiped out this week...despite sleeping more. Seems like the times I am suddenly exhausted coincide with the timing of the energies hitting the planet.  (I later find out).  Big shifts are occurring in my life, all positive, but meanwhile I am going with the flow and resting when needed, being active when I feel the need. ~PB

INCOMING! - ANOTHER CME IS ON THE WAY
: Since June 21st, four CMEs have hit Earth's magnetic field. A fifth is on the way. Sunspot AR2371 erupted again during the early hours of June 25th, producing an M7.9-class solar flare and a lopsided CME. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory photograhed the storm cloud, which raced away from the sun faster than 2000 km/s (4.5 million mph):


http://spaceweather.com/images2015/25jun15/cme_anim2.gif?PHPSESSID=n36sa300bdaca8kqkovnt2ist1


The CME will hit Earth's magnetic field on June 27th, probably mid-day Universal Time. According to NOAA computer models there is a 79% chance of polar geomagnetic storms. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Aurora alerts: text or voice.

INCOMING: SOLSTICE GEOMAGNETIC STORM + ANOTHER CME IS ON THE WAY | SPACEWEATHER.COM



SOLSTICE GEOMAGNETIC STORM:
A series of CMEs hit Earth's magnetic field on June 22nd, producing a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm. Northern Lights spilled across the Canadian border into more than a dozen US states, including places as far south as Colorado, Georgia, Virginia and Arkansas. "The auroras did not disappoint," says Chris Cook, who witnessed the display from Cape Cod, Massachusetts:






"They were visible in deep twilight!" he adds. "I positioned myself on a beach overlooking Cape Cod Bay so I could capture the reflection in the water at low tide."


More auroras are in the offing as Earth's magnetic field reverberates from the CME strikes. NOAA forecasters estimate a 90% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on June 23rd, subsiding only a little to 70% on June 24th. Aurora alerts: text, voice

MEANWHILE ... ANOTHER CME IS ON THE WAY: Big sunspot AR2371 erupted again on June 22nd (18:23 UT), producing a strong M6.5 class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:




X-ray and UV radiation from the flare ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, causing a blackout of some shortwave radio signals over North America (blackout map). Mariners and ham radio operators, in particular, may have noticed disturbances at frequencies below ~20 MHz.


The explosion also hurled a full-halo CME directly toward Earth: movie. NOAA analysts are still modeling the storm cloud to estimate its likely time of arrival. Best guess: June 24th.

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS




SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS: A severe G4-class geomagnetic storm is in progress on June 22nd. This follows a series of rapid-fire CME strikes to Earth's magnetic field during the past 24 hours. Magnetic fields in the wake of the latest CME are strongly coupled to Earth's own magnetic field. This is a condition that could sustain the geomagnetic storm for many hours to come. High- and mid-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras tonight, especially during the hours around local midnight. Aurora alerts: text, voice


EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR FLARE, RADIO BLACKOUT: Sunspot AR2371 has erupted again, producing a strong M6.5 class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the flare's extreme ultraviolet flash on June 22nd at 18:23 UT:


X-ray and UV radiation from the flare ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, producing a moderately-strong blackout of shortwave and low-frequency radio signals over North America. The North American blackout is subsiding now. An even deeper radio blackout is still underway around both of Earth's poles. This is due to solar protons and electrons being funneled into the polar regions by Earth's magnetic field. A blackout map from NOAA shows the geographical distribution of the radio disturbances.

SLIGHT CHANCE OF SUNDAY STORMS:
The X-flare of March 11th might not be done affecting our planet. According to computer models, a CME propelled into space by the explosion will sideswipe Earth's magnetic field on Sunday, March 15th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 30% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms if and when the CME arrives. Aurora alerts: text, voice


SOLAR FLARE AND CME: March 15th began with a bang. Between 00:45 UT and 02:00 UT, a magnetic filament erupted in concert with a slow C9-class solar flare from sunspot AR2297. This movie of the eruption comes from an extreme UV telescope onboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:





The combo blast hurled a CME into space: SOHO movie. Modeling by NOAA analysts suggests that the cloud will deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of March 17th. Will there be green skies on St. Patrick's Day? NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of geomagnetic storms when the CME arrives.Solar flare alerts: text, voice

AURORA OUTBURST: Last night, March 14-15, sky watchers around the Arctic Circle witnessed a magnificent outburst of auroras. "It was utterly amazing," reports Oliver Wright of Abisko, Sweden. "Best I've seen in years of night photography." He took this picture just as the storm was getting started:




"Later, the auroras exploded and just filled the sky!" he said.


Chad Blakley, an aurora tour guide in Abisko National Park, says "I have seen some very impressive displays during all of the years that I have been living in Abisko, but this particular show was truly one of a kind." Using a high speed camera, he captured a must-see movie which Blakley says "closely represents what we saw with our own eyes."


Aurora outbursts are often caused by CMEs. In this case however, a CME was not responsible. Instead, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) around Earth tipped south. This opened a crack in Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind poured in to fuel the display. Aurora alerts: text, voice

SOLAR RADIO BURST: For much of the past week, space weather news has focused on how sunspot AR2297 is causing radio blackouts on Earth. On March 12th the sunspot did the opposite. It unleashed a shortwave radio burst. "It was super intense--one of the strongest bursts of the current solar cycle," reports amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft. Click on the image below to play a recording of the sounds he heard issuing from the loudspeaker of his radio telescope in rural New Mexico:






"The recording starts a little rough for a few seconds in that there was a ham transmission in progress on one channel (22 MHz) and the other channel (23 MHz) had a tiny bit of buzz," says Ashcraft. "But then the solar burst hit and the ham voices were entirely drowned out. For the next 3 minutes, the airwaves were dominated by solar static."


These radio sounds are caused by beams of electrons--in this case, accelerated by an M4-flare. As the electrons slice through the sun's atmosphere, they generate a ripple of plasma waves and radio emissions detectable on Earth 93 million miles away. Astronomers classify solar radio bursts into five types; Ashcraft's recording captured a mixture of Type III and Type V.


More bursts are in the offing. AR2297 has an unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for 'radio-active' explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of M-class flares and a 20% chance of X-flares on March 15th. Solar flare alerts: text, voice

Solar Flares injecting bonus energy | Dana Mrkich - Evolution Revolution Thursday, March 12, 2015

Solar Flares injecting bonus energy

With 7 M Class Solar Flares over the past few days and 1 X Class in recent hours, no matter the kind of week you have had I'm sure it has been an energised one!


For some of you that may mean lots of physical energy and mental clarity. For others it means just the opposite, and that is because these flares act as a kind of 're-wiring you exactly in the way you need' influence. If you need rest, they try to get you to rest, so you are going to feel lethargic. If it is time to act, they will give you that booster shot of motivation and inspiration you need.


It is also common to feel a mixture of the two: that is, a lot of adrenal action pumping through you, while the mind is feeling unable to focus or concentrate or anything. This is usually a good sign to just slow down and take one hour/minute at a time. Sitting down for a few minutes as you focus on your breath going in and out works miracles when it comes to regaining a sense of balance.


Flares are also emotional clearing machines - old anger/grief/issues can arise out of nowhere for the purpose of being addressed and transmuted. Ask that if these feelings are not yours, or if they no longer serve you, to please leave and go to where they now belong.


There is a momentum this year unlike any other year before. We are all being urged forward to step it up a level. So for some people this means looking at issues that you've never looked at before. For others it means gaining clearer, deeper insights into stuff you have looked at a hundred times! This year we are being called to embody all that we have learned about ourselves, and this can mean owning our power, taking action around that dream, or just living a simpler, healthier life moment by moment.


Solar and astrological influences inject bonus energy into these already powerful waves, and there are a host of them playing their role right now! From the Sun flaring away, to the upcoming March 16/17 Uranus/Pluto square - the final one in a series of 7 that have been occuring since 2012, to the huge 20/21 March Solar Eclipse Equinox!!


All of these alone = massive inner and outer transformation. Together they are making March be yet another pivotal month in what is a pivotal year. It is sending us all in the direction we all most need to go in, in order to live a life that feels most true to our Soul's highest calling, truth and purpose.


How are you all feeling?

Another look at the X-2 Solar Flare


CHANCE OF STORMS: Friday the 13th could be a lucky day for sky watchers. Several minor CMEs propelled toward Earth earlier this week by active sunspot AR2297 are expected to arrive en masse on March 12th and 13th. Their collective impact could spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms when the CMEs arrive. Aurora alerts: text, voice


X2-FLARE AND RADIO BLACKOUT: All week long, sunspot AR2297 has been crackling with solar flares. Yesterday it produced a really big one. On March 11th at 16:22 UT (09:22 PDT), Earth orbiting-satellites detected an X2-class flare. The blast zone was larger than Earth itself:
Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the explosion ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, causing HF radio blackouts and other propagation effects on the dayside of our planet, particularly over the Americas: map.


In New Mexico, amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft was observing the sun using a wideband spectrograph when the flare occured. The radio blackout was obvious at every frequency from 15 MHz to 26 MHz:


"The X-flare scrambled the ionosphere thoroughly so that no decametric radio signals were supported in my part of the world," says Ashcraft. "The ionosphere started to reform after about fifteen minutes when stations began to reappear. (The stuff visible during the blackout was my own observatory electricity. Nothing exterior.)"


A coronal mass ejection (CME) was propelled into space by the explosion. However, we do not yet know if it will hit Earth. A glancing blow is possible on March 13th or 14th. Confirmation awaits the belated arrival of coronagraph data from SOHO. Stay tuned. Solar flare alerts: text, voice

WHY DO SOLAR FLARES EXPLODE?: Later today, March 12th, NASA will launch a fleet of spacecraft to investigate the mystery of magnetic reconnection: On the sun, magnetic field lines cross, cancel, reconnect and—bang! A solar flare explodes. How does the simple act of crisscrossing magnetic fields trigger such a ferocious blast? The Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission aims to find out.

X2-FLARE AND RADIO BLACKOUT
: All week long, sunspot AR2297 has been crackling with solar flares. Today it produced a really big one. On March 11th at 16:22 UT (09:22 PDT), Earth orbiting-satellites detected an X2-class flare, shown here in an image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:

Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the explosion ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, causing HF radio fade-outs and other propagation effects on the dayside of our planet. In the red zone of this map, ham radio operators and mariners may have noticed brief but complete blackout conditions at frequencies below 10 MHz. The disturbance has since subsided.

Natural radio emissions from the sun, which are produced by shock waves in the sun's atmosphere, suggest that a CME is emerging from the blast site at speeds exceeding 1,400 km/s (3.1 million mph). For confirmation, we are still awaiting coronagraph data from SOHO. Stay tuned. Solar flare alerts: text, voice

THE ERUPTIONS CONTINUE | Spaceweather.com



THE ERUPTIONS CONTINUE (updated): For the 4th day in a row, sunspot AR2297 is crackling with solar flares. The latest, an M5-class eruption on March 9th at 23:53 UT, produced a low-frequency radio blackout over the South Pacific: map. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the explosion's extreme UV flash:


http://www.spaceweather.com/images2015/09mar15/m5_blue.jpg?PHPSESSID=e359e19h0jok4pcoqe6fhfk177


Update: SOHO coronagraphs have observed multiple CMEs emerging from the blast site; movie. The confusing mass of plasma clouds is traveling mostly away from the sun-Earth line. Nevertheless, one or more of the CMEs could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field in the days ahead. Stay tuned as NOAA analysts sort things out.....


What is the source of all this activity? According to amateur astronomer John Chumack, "it's a great big Sea Turtle." Using a backyard solar telescope in Dayton, Ohio, he took this picture of the turtle's head on March 9th:


http://www.spaceweather.com/images2015/10mar15/turtle.jpg?PHPSESSID=ga5d960pa7kmg2pclvjoclfd24


The sunspot's primary dark core is the turtle's eye, while a magnetic filament traces the profile of Eretmochelys imbricata. This tension-filled filament does more than give the active region a likeness to marine life; it also harbors energy for powerful magnetic explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of additional M-class flares on March 10th. Stay tuned.

Balsamic Moon Phase: transformation


Moon in Scorpio


Ruling Mahavidya: Chinnamasta (Goddess Who Reveals)


Skill: clear mindspace and timespace


Negative Imprint: manipulating events and people, foolish disregard (especially for others' needs), attention-seeking, using outworn methods instead of trying something new, dissatisfaction, grass is greener on the other side, feelings of abandonment, projection


Positive Imprint: sculpting reality; bridging people, places, and things; creativity, reverence for things of worth; endurance; dreams; relief from pressure, magical encounters


As the Moon moves to the Balsamic phase, the mystical time of the lunar month, the bath of cosmic rain continues.


In a sense, today the cosmic rain washes away whatever was covering something very important that we need to see.  A discovery is made.  An insight, understanding, or lesson is revealed.  This is a key piece of "intelligence" or wisdom that helps us live better lives - lives that flow more naturally.  It is information that helps us perform the inner mission of bringing heaven to Earth, birthing the Second Renaissance, merging the two worlds.  It's information about the form of the future.


So far, the M8.7 solar flare, the big one from yesterday's volley of flares, is the only one identified to have produced a coronal mass ejection.  In the audio overview for the next lunar cycle, which is titled 'The Mass Turn" and posted at the top of www.oraclereport.com, I detailed the energetic nature of each of the flares.


This flare was the energy of "the sight of an autumn leaf brings to a pilgrim the sudden revelation of the mystery of life and death."  Re-read the symbol and then pause for a moment to envision the scene in your mind.  Picture yourself as the pilgrim - the peaceful seeker - seeing a falling autumn leaf.


What color is the leaf?  What type of tree did it fall from?  What does the pilgrim look like?  Is he or she weathered or crisp?  Where are you seeing the leaf?  Are you inside at a window or out on walk on a trail?  Where is the path you are on leading you?  The scene that the symbol evokes in your mind tells much about where you have been and where you are going.


This is a gift of wisdom.


Today's energy also heavily favors concrete manifestation.  What we think about or put energy into has great power to form.  We can change the pilgrim's picture anytime we want.  If you are dissatisfied with the image that you saw, you are fully empowered to change the scene.  Re-paint it, if you want to, and then watch things change around you.  Have patience with it.


The best things that form today are "bridges" - links and connections.  Constructive thoughts and activities can build massive things that are enduring.  We take the best from the past and use it as a foundation for the future.  The Balsamic Moon phase energy transforms elements of the past and provides second chances at many things.  This provides the best possible scenario to do things differently - better.


Certain astrological configurations highlight themes of banking, money, and finances today.  The underlying energy is about luxury, refinement, and riches, but this has an element that points out inequities with these things.  Issues in relationships that are out of balance and not mutually respectable in terms of how money is flowing and being shared may surface today.


Balsamic Moon phase asks us to spend a little time in contemplation, meditation, reflection.  The veils between the worlds are thinnest right now, but with the Sun in conjunction with the Galactic Center, we are essentially crossing the veil and in the other side.  It's a highly mystical time - one of the best of this entire year.  Clear some space and time today to receive what the heavens are sending you.


(Yesterday's Galactic Center Day's celebration, like the rooster, began before sunrise when the wise owl who took today's photograph was heralded by the exhuberant tones of Mother Nature Gaia Sophia and feathered friends.  Here is the story that accompanies the rare photo:,


"It is a wet morning, raining softly when I awoke at 5:00, to my delight.  I didn't get on my bike until after I had gone outside to see if the rain had stopped - about 7:00.  The rain having stopped, it was still dark and soft and silent with low clouds, so I went inside to get my sweater, leaving the door open.  As I was pulling my sweater on I thought I heard an owl, but it had been months since I had heard one, so it was hard to believe.


I walked outside, my sweater still half on, and there it was again - VERY Close.  I looked up on our roof, and heard it again, coming from across the street.  I ran and got the camera but the glare was too bright.  It was totally silent, no cars, no people - magic - as I maneuvered the camera about - trying to prop it against a wall.  I was alone in this world, the silence poured down around me, except for a periodic Who Who Who.


Then to my surprise I heard another sound - VERY Close.  It was a different kind of calling - a cooing.  I looked closer to the light and there it was - another owl!!


In all my owl stalking I have never seen two together, or heard their mating(?) talk.  What is also amazing is that I actually got these photos - it took me a very long time to get my first legible owl picture back when I was stalking them last year.


I took my last picture and hopped on the bike.  I rode under the lamp and with the emerging light was able to see how large the bigger owl was - I ran back in to get my camera for this new angle.  When I got back the owl was gone.  I hopped back on the bike and as I rode down Primrose I saw the owl swooping down the road in front of me.  It disappeared, and although I looked, I could not find it.  Still I was exhilarated as I rode down the road."


My comment here is hark, the herald owls sing!


Glory to the return of the sacred masculine kings.)


Thank you for supporting the Oracle Report.  Blessings to all!

Balsamic Moon Phase: transformation


Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius


Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamuhki (The Fierce Goddess)


There's one story driving the energies right now: the conjunction of Venus and Pluto.


Venus and Pluto make exact conjunction Saturday, December 20 at 4:12 pm ET/9:12 pm UT.  This energy comes in waves, so it has been building for several days and continues to build until that time.  Today and Saturday will be the most intense, with a pretty steep drop down on Sunday.  We want to be keenly aware of this dynamic because it exceptionally powerful and will make definite changes in our lives and in the world, particularly in the areas of relationships, money, and what we truly value.


This is happening as we continue through the mystical mists of the Balsamic Moon phase, preparing for the New Moon in Capricorn, which enters Sunday evening.  The next lunar month is a shift point.  Much transformation will occur.  The Venus-Pluto conjunction is clearing the way for this.  (When two planets make a conjunction, it is called a New Phase, which means the energies comes together to harmonize new beginnings in the way a New Moon does.)


Venus' themes involve love, relationships, sexuality, beauty, comfort (luxury, even), sense of security, personal insecurities, generosity, what we value and de-value materially and with people, and artistic expression - especially spiritually artistic expressions.  Jealousy, stubbornness, and indulgence are in the mix as well.


Pluto's themes involve transformation of anything it touches.  Pluto is the archetypal King of the Underworld.  He works from deep within the Earth, deep within us, and deep within the magical realm.  Things come up from the deep with Pluto.  The gamut of emotions wells up because we are capable of feeling not only a wide range of emotions, but we are also capable of create great complexity from those emotions.  We can make life more complicated than it needs to be.


Negative intentions are under-riding the energy to de-stabilize people, places, and things as much as possible in advance of the New Moon.  In a way, a pre-emptive attack is being launched at us in order to weaken us for the coming month.  The Wisdom Goddess Kali is coming as The Reckoner of things.


It is easiest for me to describe this in terms of a "battle" but I suggest viewing it as waves of energy that you may encounter and need to neutralize.  It's as simple as lifting your hand off your desk and saying in your mind or aloud "neutralize."  Quit it and forget it.  (Defense of the Archontic Non-arts 101.)


This is a time when we want to fully engage the skills of the wise old owl nestled in a tree (of Light) and observing the shifting in the field, ready to respond when needed.


There is nothing to worry about here.  Our co-dreaming with Gaia Sophia is activated and alive and friends we didn't even know we had are coming forward in our efforts to change the dream.  The dream is the Source Field and it is definitely working at individual and mass levels to take care of the details of what falls and what remains as the shifting continues.


All wise owls are on call...

Some integration time...finally | Dana Mrkich - Evolution Revolution Tuesday, November 18, 2014




Some integration time...finally | Dana Mrkich - Evolution Revolution
Tuesday, November 18, 2014



Aside from a reasonably sized Solar Flare yesterday morning Australia time, former Sunspot AR 2192, now known as Sunspot 2209, has been relatively quiet.

While part of me misses major Solar activity because I can literally feel the energy coarsing through me when the Sun is super active, the other part really welcomes the integration time that quieter times bring.

Several weeks ago we thought we were in for a two week break while 2192 slid round the far side of the Sun, but then another strong sunspot appeared with yet more strong flares. So we ended up experiencing almost a month of intense emotions being triggered, old wounds and patterns coming up, unexpected events and situations forcing us to feel or do things we hadn't planned on and more people we know leaving the planet than I can ever remember in such a short period of time.

I always liken these intense shift months to being like a car wash/rinse/spin cycle. It's hectic while you're in there, but out the other side you feel a sense of being more clear and renewed in some way, with a fresh sense of motivation, passion or perspective, especially where any of those things have been lacking. You may find yourself with a completely different set of priorities than you've ever had before, with old ones drifting off, feeling irrelevant to who you feel yourself to be now.

Your energy is more connected to your true self and your true needs now more than ever. What this will mean is, when you go with the flow of this connection and allow yourself to acknowledge what you really need/feel/want, you will feel rejuvenated and energised. When you don't, you will more than likely feel drained and even resentful or frustrated.

Our heart and soul is taking over the reins. It is becoming more painful and uncomfortable every day to repress our true feelings and needs by brushing them aside with 'I don't have time to do that' or 'I can't just sit and relax, I need to get things done.' While certain things in life of course have to be done, if you keep getting messages to slow down, then it would be wise to listen to those messages in any small or large ways you can. Likewise, if you are getting messages to take some leap of faith around some new action or goal, then go for it in any small or large ways you can: let go of your doubts, and take some steps toward the direction you are feeling called to go in.

I hope that if you found yourself in the latest heavy-duty wash/rinse/spin, that you are feeling some of the "dry, buff and polish" benefits that integration time can bring.

How are you all feeling?

Sunspot AR 2192 Update ~ by Dana Mrkich | Evolution Revolution

Sunspot AR 2192 Update ~ by Dana Mrkich | Evolution Revolution

Friday, November 14, 2014

Reports of former huge Sunspot AR 2192 seem to be conflicting between 'it's still large' to 'it's bigger' to 'it's in a state of decay' depending on which space weather site you read. Which is kind of odd because it's either larger or it's not!


There are no reports of major flares, but the energy would indicate otherwise as this has been a rather intense week. Astrologically this can be explained by the Pluto/Uranus square which has added oomph thanks to Mars going right over Pluto.


Essentially this means Transformation was the theme of the week, likely in an unexpected, out of left field way, and quite possibly associated with some fire-like emotions or compulsion to take action.


Astrology aside, my computer and electrics have definitely been acting like something flarey is going on!?!


How are you all feeling? How are your electrics/computers etc?

Sunspot Cycles and the Global Shift in Consciousness by Julian Websdale, Contributor | Waking Times

Sunspot Cycles and the Global Shift in Consciousness
by Julian Websdale, Contributor | Waking Times




sunspot - 3




Many people are feeling confused and uncertain about the state of our world. As we look at the nature of the various societal structures around us and how they function today, we quickly realize that instability is a term that can so easily describe them. Whether it be the natural flow of where they are headed or the population induced direction due to unrest, our economic, governmental, political, environmental and healthcare models, etc., are clearly in a state of decline and transition as the population begins to wake up to the true nature of each structure.


This awakening is being driven by a shift in Consciousness, cosmic factors such as cosmic rays and solar activity, and by a soul decision each one of us is making out of a greater realization that we have outgrown our current experience that we are co-creating here on earth. This can be seen and felt by how little sense the world seems to make these days and by feeling the need to change it. That change is coming from within and is tough for many of us to ignore.


We have the science, ancient knowledge and spiritual confirmations, to see that what is taking place here is the mass awakening of the entire population that will cause unprecedented change on the planet. It’s not a matter of if this is happening, but of when we are willing to accept and embrace the reality. Millions are already engaged in this shift and each day, as more and more become aware of what is happening, we open ourselves up to a world of possibility (see Figure 1).

Figure 1:
Simplified stages of the shift we are moving through.


Humanity is not just experiencing unrest in certain areas of the world. As we look across each continent, we see very clear signs that people are not only becoming unhappy with their current state of living, but they are also doing something about it in unprecedented numbers. Whilst the idea of protesting is not new, the scale at which it is being done in every continent, and the solutions that are breaking through the suppression, are causing people to begin to see that something huge is taking place on the earth.


The Scientific View

To understand how solar activity can affect us, we must understand what quantum physics shows us about our world and what it is made up of.

“Quantum physics discovered that physical atoms are vortices of energy that are constantly vibrating. So every material structure in the Universe including you and me radiates a unique energy signature.”  – Bruce H. Lipton, PhD.
What this means is that we are all made up of energy. In fact, everything in our Universe is made of energy and is not actually physical at its core. Einstein recognized that everything in our Universe, including us, is connected at all times. When you affect one thing in the Universe, everything else is affected in some way. This can be understood through non-locality or quantum entanglement.


Furthermore, quantum physics shows us that Consciousness directly creates what we see in our reality. One of the most famous experiments that explores this concept is called The Double Slit Experiment. It essentially illustrates that everything in our Universe is all complete potentiality until it is defined by Consciousness viewing it. This means that as we define how our world should be and should look, we are actually helping to co-create reality together.


Thousands of years of data illustrate that within solar cycles there are periods where humanity is at great unrest and times change. The specific period where most change is seen to happen is called the solar maximum. This is the period in which the Sun’s activity is at its peak. Russian scientist Alexander Chizhevsky has provided years of data that clearly illustrates how these solar cycles and cosmic rays effect human Consciousness (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Graph to illustrate the relationship between sunspots and world events.


When Chizhevsky’s work was continued by Prof. Raymond Wheeler, from the University of Kansas, it was confirmed that Chizhevsky’s model continued to produce accurate results. During the solar maximum in 1990, the war in Iraq had begun. During the solar maximum of 2001, the World Trade Centre towers were taken down on 9/11 (see Figure 3).

Figure 3: Top image: Chizhevsky’s model continues to produce accurate results. 
Bottom image: Current cycle sunspot number prediction.


Considering the cycle we are currently in, what might we expect to see? For this we can look into Chizhevsky’s realisation of 4 main periods within each sunspot cycle. Within each 11-year cycle, Chizhevsky recognised 3 years of minimum excitability, 2 years of growth in excitability, 3 years of maximum excitability, and 3 years of a decline in excitability. Interestingly, we see specific characteristics for each period:


Minimum Excitability
Duration: 3 years
Characteristics: Lack of unity in the masses, Indifference in the masses, tolerance in the masses.
Major historical events: 5%


Growth in Excitability
Duration: 2 years
Characteristics: Originating of new ideas, push to centralize on idea, masses begin to unite.
Major historical events: 20%


Maximum Excitability
Duration: 3 years
Characteristics: Discovery of solutions, masses more impatient with status quo, masses unite, new leaders appear.
Major historical events: 60%


Decline in Excitability
Duration: 3 years
Characteristics: Masses push for final changes, things begin to calm, peace often is prominent.
Major historical events: 15%


We are currently in the 3rd period of maximum excitability. It is therefore not surprising that we have been seeing social action such as the Turkish, Egyptian and Brazilian uprisings during the year 2013.


Ancient Knowledge


Ancient cultures foretold this great shift in Consciousness many, many years ago. Both the Mayans & Egyptians talked of a shifting of World Ages that would take place beginning around the year 2012. This is why such a great amount of attention was put towards December 21st 2012. It wasn’t to say that on that day, something would happen instantly, but rather, it was the hinge point of a greater change that would take place over several years.


The Mayans and Egyptians used astrology to determine these cycles and it is clear their knowledge was correct given that we can verify their astrological explanations through advanced technology available today. They essentially stated that every 26,000 years or so, the earth moves into a new World Age. Our previous World Age, which ended in late 2012, was characterized by separation, scarcity, survivalism and materialism. This is why the world that we saw, and are still seeing, was so much based around every man for himself, greed, power, destruction and so on. It was the state of mind humanity was in during that period and it provided us with a series of powerful lessons for us to move forward.


Now we have stepped into the beginning of a new World Age. The Mayans and Egyptians call it ‘The Aquarian Age.’ This age is characterized by peace, unity, community, and harmony. Millions of people are already awakening from mind to Consciousness, making the old obsolete, which is why we are seeing the crumbling and collapsing of our old world. Protests, unrest, lack of peace, instability in our world structures, the rise of new solutions, and feelings from within that it is time for things to change, are all signs of our old world collapsing.


Spiritual View


From a spiritual view, we can see clear links between what the Mayans and science is saying, and what is happening in our world now. Many in the spiritual community claim that a shift in Consciousness is taking place. Much of this wisdom comes from an inner knowing that follows a feeling that something isn’t quite right with our world. A spiritual understanding of what is happening is realizing that we have an awareness, beyond the physical body and the mind, and that it is driving feelings of change.


One of the great transformations we are experiencing is the process of re-awakening or re-connecting to our Higher Self or true self (Consciousness). This Higher Self can be seen as who we truly are. Up until this point, human ego has been at the forefront of driving our world. Ideas of who we think we are, separation, competition, greed, power and survivalism have been sitting in the driver’s seat for centuries and have created a world that reflects these ideals. It is important to realize that these are all illusions. As we move out of our ego, and false sense of self, and into Conscious Awareness we move into our Heart Chakra Centre. This facilitates an inner knowing and true understanding of who we are. Our perception, priorities, beliefs, and understandings change as we no longer have a distorted view of self and the world based upon social conditioning.

ANOTHER X-FLARE | Spaceweather.com

CHANCE OF FLARES: Despite shrinking by ~10% on Oct. 24th, sunspot AR2192 remains the largest and most active sunspot of the current solar cycle. By far. NOAA forecasters estimate an 85% chance of M-class flares and a 45% chance of X-flares on Oct. 25th.




ANOTHER X-FLARE: Giant sunspot AR2192 erupted again on Oct. 24th (21:40 UT), producing a powerful X3-class solar flare. Using a backyard solar telescope, Sergio Castillo of Corona, California, was monitoring the sunspot when it exploded, and he snapped this picture:

"This flare was so intense that it almost shorted out my computer! Well ... not really," says Castillo, "but I knew right away that it was an X-class eruption."

A pulse of extreme UV radiation from the flare ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, causing a brief but strong blackout of H/F radio communications over the dayside of Earth. Such blackouts may be noticed by amateur radio operators, aviators, and mariners.

Coronagraph data from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) suggest that the explosion did not hurl a significant CME toward our planet. (Interestinngly, none of the X-flares from this active region has so far produced a major CME.) As a result, Earth-effects may be limited to the radio blackout.

LOTS OF SOLAR FLARES | Spaceweather.com



LOTS OF SOLAR FLARES | Spaceweather.com

http://www.spaceweather.com/

LOTS OF SOLAR FLARES: Solar activity is high. Since the week began, giant sunspot AR2192 has produced 27 C-class solar flares, 9 M-class flares, and 2 X-flares. (What do these classifications mean? Check out the Richter Scale of Solar Flares.) The most powerful eruption so far was an X1.6-category blast on Oct 22nd:

Remarkably, not one of the explosions so far has hurled a significant CME toward Earth. The primary effect of the flares has been to ionize Earth's upper atmosphere, causing a series of short-lived HF radio communications blackouts. Such blackouts may be noticed by amateur radio operators, aviators, and mariners.

Earth-effects could increase in the days ahead. AR2192 has an unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for powerful explosions, and the active region is turning toward Earth. NOAA forecasters estimate a 85% chance of M-class flares and a 45% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours.

Because the sunspot is so large--now about as wide as the planet Jupiter--people are beginning to notice it at sunset when the sun is dimmed by clouds or haze. Pilot Brian Whittaker took this picture on Oct. 21st while flying 36,000 ft over Resolute, Nunavut, Canada:

"I was impressed to photograph the giant sunspot as the sun set over Arctic Canada," says Whittaker. "Actually, the sun was temporarily rising because of our great relative speed over the lines of longitude at N75 degrees! Note the green upper rim."

Photographers beware: Do not look at the sun through unfiltered optics. Even when dimmed by clouds or haze, sunlight amplified by camera lenses can cause serious eye damage. If you decide to photograph the low-hanging sun, use your camera's LCD screen for viewfinding. Better yet, buy a solar telescope.

Giant Sunspot Erupts with 4th Substantial Flare | NASA.gov

October 24, 2014
The sun emitted a significant solar flare, peaking at 5:40 p.m. EDT on Oct. 24, 2014. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured images of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.


To see how this event may affect Earth, please visit NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center at http://spaceweather.gov, the U.S. government's official source for space weather forecasts, alerts, watches and warnings.


SDO view of solar flare on Oct. 24, 2014
An X3.2-class flare erupted from the lower half of the sun on Oct. 24, 2014.

in the 304 Angstrom wavelength.  Image Credit: NASA/SDO


This flare is classified as an X3.1-class flare.  X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, etc.


The flare erupted from a particularly large active region -- labeled AR 12192 -- on the sun that is the largest in 24 years. This is the fourth substantial flare from this active region since Oct. 19.
