SPECIAL EDITION
March 29, 2022
by Astrologer Pam Younghans
THE SUN has
been exceptionally busy this week! Within the span of a 24-hour period
on Monday-Tuesday (depending on your time zone), it released six M-class
solar
flares and eleven C-class flares. This is a very large number of
medium-range flares, which also initiated at least three coronal mass
ejections (CMEs) that are scheduled to reach Earth on March 31-April 1.
It's
not only the number of solar flares, but also the timing of the
incoming wave of CMEs that has caught my attention. Those CMEs will be
arriving right around the time of the New Moon at 11:24 p.m. PDT on Thursday, March 31 (6:24 am GMT on Friday, April 1).
At the time of the lunation, the Aries Moon
will be conjunct (aligned with) the
Sun, Messenger planet Mercury, and Chiron the Wounded Healer. In a show
of cosmic synchronicity, solar flares and CMEs are said to carry
downloads of information (Mercury) and healing energy (Chiron) directly
to Earth.
WHEN A SOLAR FLARE erupts,
it releases energy that reaches the Earth in about eight minutes. If a
CME is created when the flare occurs, there's a delay of three to four
days before that extra energy wave reaches us. According to the NOAA
website, "CMEs are a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from
the Sun's corona. They can eject billions of tons of coronal material
and carry an embedded magnetic field."
Both
solar flares and CMEs can affect life on planet Earth, in various ways.
When flares are especially powerful, they can disrupt radio
communications. They can also heat the Earth's outer atmosphere, which
can impact Earth-orbiting satellites.
When a CME causes a geomagnetic storm, we usually see incredible auroras
at the higher latitudes, but technology can be adversely affected. A
geomagnetic storm has been blamed for the loss of 40 of the 49 Starlink
satellites that were launched earlier this year.
THOSE WHO ARE SENSITIVE
to flare activity may have both physical and emotional/mental symptoms
that seem to appear out of nowhere when solar flares are strong. Nervous
energy is heightened, so people may be more easily reactive, even angry.
Physically, there can be digestive issues, upset stomach, sleep
disturbances, headaches and other unusual aches and pains, ear ringing
or head buzzing, vision changes, dizzy spells, hot flashes, feeling
energetically depleted or overly excited, forgetfulness, heart
palpitations and thymus fluttering, and more. Emotionally, some may feel
depressed or sad for no apparent reason. All of these symptoms depend
on the individual,
and what is needed to be cleared from the various energy bodies.
With
CMEs, we have the benefit of signs that we can point to in the natural
world, as evidence of their effect on our reality. Auroras dance in the
skies when a wave of charged particles from the Sun interacts with the
Earth's magnetic field,
causing a geomagnetic storm.
Here's a succinct explanation of auroras from the EarthSky
website: "When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's
atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy
state. When the electrons drop back
to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process
creates the beautiful aurora."
The
stronger the geomagnetic storm, the more dramatic the auroras, and more
likely it is that they will spread beyond their usual viewing range in
the higher latitudes. With a fairly strong storm in the forecast for
late this week, the
SpaceWeather website predicts that "naked-eye auroras may descend into the USA as far south as New York and Idaho (geomagnetic latitude 55o)."
SELF-CARE IS VITAL
when
we're dealing with so much solar activity. Electromagnetics have a very
drying effect, which is one reason for the pressure headaches and other
physical pains. Because of this, be sure to drink plenty of fluids
(electrolytes especially) this week. You might also want to look into
magnesium supplements and B vitamins to help the nervous system adapt to
the heightened energies.
As
always, consult with your healthcare provider regarding any symptoms
that are causing you concern, as well as about the supplements that are
best for
you.
THE HEALING POTENTIALS
in this week's combination of solar and astrological activity are
enormous. However, as often happens, we may
experience a healing crisis of sorts before the process is complete. As
high-frequency energies are conducted through dense matter, there is a
breaking apart of blockages, which then must be released. This can be
accomplished through short-term emotional or physical symptoms.
An excellent article by Raelene Byrne explains: "Solar
flares and photonic waves exert a powerful effect on our physical
cellular level,
causing our cellular memories to awaken and clear. Unprocessed emotions
from past traumas and experiences are stored in the form of low
frequency energy as cellular memories. Photonic waves from the sun
consist of higher frequency energy that serves to elevate the lower
emotional frequency of our cellular memories. As these cellular memories
are re-calibrated to the higher frequency, we may find ourselves
spontaneously releasing the lower emotions of sadness, anger, and grief,
without knowing
why." (The full article, entitled "Solar Flares and Consciousness," is
online at the healingenergytools website.)
WITH CHIRON IN ARIES,
we are in the process of healing whatever is interfering with our
knowing and claiming our individual identity, our right to BE. The wound
of
Chiron in Aries is a fear that we don't have the right to have our own
needs and desires, and that we are ultimately unworthy. Symptoms of this
Chiron wound include self-doubt, insecurities, and a paradoxical
tendency to explode in aggression and anger. In this last symptom, it is
the small fearful child within that believes it must throw a tantrum in
order to get its needs met.
With
that in mind, we may see some temper tantrums, or experience them
ourselves, as we roll through the energies of the New Moon/CME wave. If
you find yourself in a small or grand rage, find a way to move the
energy: take a power walk, dig in
the garden, throw rocks into a pond. The point is to get the energy to
move through you and be released, so that it no longer inhibits your
evolution.
AND OF COURSE,
once we have tended to the symptoms that we personally are
experiencing, we are called to have patience, gentleness, and
compassion, with ourselves and
with others. We are all navigating these storms together, at the same
time, and some will deal with it better than others.
As
we do this work, we help and heal ourselves, but we are also mending
the tear in the tapestry of the universe that we signed up to be
responsible for. It is this healing, the healing of the Aries
assertiveness, that is much needed
now.
I'LL BE POSTING about
any new solar activity on my facebook page this week, as well as
updates on the predicted arrival of the CMEs and more. The probabilities
for
more solar flares remain high today: 99% for C-class flares, 50% for
M-class flares, and 10% for X-class flares (the strongest level).
