Solar Storm In Progress – Mind Fog but oooh look at the pretty… :)

 

So, we are in the midst of the arrival of a big old solar emission – super charged particles hitting the planet in the form of a “solar wind” which, could be why I have major brain fog and Mr F and I attempting to have deep and meaningful discussions about the universe last night resulted in us blethering as words were difficult to form! 😀

So, be gentle with yourself and those you love until the spring equinox on the 20th March – just in case their moments of gibberish or daft decisions are down to the sun flinging its matter at us!

Yet with the fog and technical hitches (our Freesat TV box always plays up during these solar storms!)  comes the beauty – the aurora borealis are AMAZING  right now – look at this gentleman’s video as the storm arrived in the Arctic Circle:

and you can view the aurora live in Abisko National Park in Sweden via many webcams here:

So let’s enjoy the silver lining of beauty and spectacle and just be kind until it passes!

 

 

Yes we CAN blame it on the sunshine… (and a few other things)

Feeling super anxious, emotionally sensitive or just plain grrrrrr? Been feeling a bit woolly headed brain foggy this past week or so?  Other people and electronic gadgets been refusing to co-operate ? People being a-holes for no good reason?

We have had a right old combo of energies… from the Earth’s magnetic field spiking to higher levels than usual, the sun causing some gnarly space weather and iffy astrological stuff too. So it’s really not you 

Yes the sun has been bombarding us with electro-magnetic energy again!

Earth is exiting a stream of solar wind that sparked brief G1-class geomagnetic storms when it arrived on Feb. 27th.  A new stream of solar wind could arrive as early as March 3rd, bringing more magnetic unrest.

We are also encountering a very emotional time universally, needing to feel an energy exchange in our inter-personal relationships, and a repeating theme so far this year of making our boundaries crystal clear to avoid any misunderstandings or focusing on what’s lacking rather than our blessings. This coming full moon on the 2nd March is going to highlight where we need to purge or simplify day to day life and we may find ourselves saying things we don’t mean if we aren’t mindful!

So batten down the hatches, no emotional Tourettes – try not to swear at people you love, or at your TV when the remote refuses to work, just be extra kind to yourself, keep life simple, don’t say yes to things you really want to say hell no to, and make sure you communicate very simply and clearly for the next few days at least

Feeling Weirder? Space Weather may the reason…


Yep. Space Weather is a thing.

Energy is up and down right now courtesy of our sun, some of us are sensitive to it’s changeable nature. So if you have been feeling a bit strange (or in my case strange-er) the past couple of weeks, its because as a planet we are feeling the effects of the increased solar wind due to a hole in the sun’s atmosphere.

This happens quite often and nothing major to worry about! It just means that Mother Earth is being affected by highly charged particles from the sun more than usual, so electrical equipment can be affected and our bodies can feel a little sluggish.

For example, my phone battery is misbehaving and draining suddenly more than usual and there is huge interference when I try to play music on my wireless speakers. At times like these the Northern and Southern Lights (aurora) are especially huge and super active – and can even be heard as a crackling sound in the far North!

We are due for another active peak in the next few days so bear that in mind if you feel a bit ugh.
You can keep an eye on this here on Twitter – its quite reassuring to know why we may be feeling a certain way sometimes when there is no logical reason. Blame it on the sunshine not the boogie this time…
