Two Quick Celestial Notes ~ 7 August 2010

Here are two quick notations that just cannot wait until my next Galactic Times...


If you live in northern latitudes no doubt, you’re well aware of the effects of tremendous solar activity of late. If you’ve not been able to see the stunning auroral displays or have not had them forwarded to you in e-mails, likely you’ve been feeling the effects and just didn’t know it.


Have you been: Impatient? Restless? Itching to do something but you can’t figure out what it is? Extra edgy? Feeling like you need to clear invisible cobwebs off your skin? Wanting to bark at everything you perceive is in your way? Do you hear static electricity crackling around you?


These are common effects of when highly charged solar energy reaches Earth. Forget about disrupted cell phone service and that your favorite reality TV character turns into a pixilated pixie. The influx of energy typically offers an agitated time in which mind and body do not synchronize. The mind might be tired and the body needs activity; or the body might be dragging and the mind won’t shut off. It happens with these energies.


Best thing to do, get outside, lean against a tree and go for some good grounding. Everyone is feeling these blasts. Sentient folks feel it more than most. So, take some time to chill, relax and shake off the static.


We are now slowly scaling up to the solar maximum - when the sun reaches the culmination of its 11 year activity cycle - due sometime in 2011. I’ll do my best to keep you up to date on these events, but if you want immediate notification you can go to www.spaceweather.com and sign up for their alerts.


Meanwhile, if you’d like a way to chill out in the next day or so, weather permitting, why not check out the fabulous display of Venus, Mars and Saturn low in the western sky after sunset? If you’re not in a location to see the amazing auroral lights, you can still enjoy a view of wonder in the heavens.
