The Moon will be new on the 21st this month. There’s a lot going on skyward – comets, Solar flares, Solar storms and CME’s (coronal mass ejections). This has truly been a spectacular Solar Maximum, which began to rear its head in October, last year.

Compared to 2022, the Sun is extremely active. You can find images on YouTube of the Sun from 2022, to compare with how our star looks today. This is ramping up to be the most active Solar Maximum in 100 years or more. 

Have you noticed that many tumultuous phenomena have ramped up over the last months – earthquakes, volcanic activity, political chaos, social unrest? This is a time of dramatic change. Many learned voices are saying this is a time of huge transition, within the 26,000 year precessional cycle, the time it takes the Earth to make one complete rotation of the slow wobble of its axis. This wobble is what gives us the four seasons.
