GOOD WEDNESDAY, BLESSED EQUINOX
Today is the twentieth day of March, and
here is my overview of some of the cosmic energies we’re working with right now:
☀️ SOLAR: Two M-class solar flares dominate our experience of the past 24 hours, one of which neared “almost X-class” range. Here are the details:
1) M2.19 at 4:27 pm PDT Mar 19 (2327 UT)
2) M7.48 at 12:36 am PDT Mar 20 (0736 UT)
Besides these two major events, there have also been more than a dozen C-class eruptions, ranging from C2.5 to C6.1 in magnitude. Both of the M-class events and most of the C-class flares came from new sunspot region 3615.
At this writing (8 am PDT/1500 UT), the sun’s X-ray output is at the C1+ baseline, with the most recent C-class flare (C3+) having occurred just an hour ago. The official probabilities of more flare activity today are 99% for C-class, 40% for M-class, and 5% for X-class.
🌌 GEOMAGNETIC: The CME from the explosion of a magnetic filament three days ago is expected to reach Earth’s atmosphere today or tomorrow. The forecast indicates the possibility of minor G1 storms (Kp5-) when it arrives.
🌙 PLANETARY: Mercury and Chiron are exactly conjunct today. While this alignment might bring up insecurities about our intellectual capacity or our ability to clearly communicate our ideas, it also offers insights that can bring healing. As always with Chiron aspects, I suggest connecting with our inner child, with the intention of providing loving support, acceptance, and understanding to the part of us who is afraid of being misunderstood or ignored.
Also today, Mars is in minor hard aspect to Ceres, the Earth Mother goddess. We may be more easily irritated with this influence, especially in matters dealing with home and family. Situations could reawaken unresolved anger from our own childhoods.
The Moon is in sunny Leo today, stirring within us a need to express our creativity in some way. The emphasis with the Leo Moon is on spontaneity and playfulness, but there can also be a tendency to overdramatize or to seek approval and applause from others. These traits could be most noticeable this evening when Luna squares Jupiter (6:34 pm PDT*).
Wishing you inspiration and blessings as we enter a new season on our beautiful ~ and awesome ~ planet Earth. ~ 💜 Pam Younghans
