GOOD TUESDAY π Today is May 7, and here is my overview of the energies we are navigating and integrating at this time:
βοΈ SOLAR: It’s been another ALL CAPS kind of 24 hours. Here’s a list of the main solar events since yesterday morning at this time, including both M-class and high C-class solar flares:
1. C9.47 at 12:18 pm PDT May 6 (1918 UT)
2. C8.9 at 12:25 pm PDT May 6 (1925 UT)
3. M1.29 at 2:48 pm PDT May 6 (2148 UT)
4. M4.33 at 3:26 pm PDT May 6 (2226 UT) – Long-duration event
5. M2.67 at 5:58 pm PDT May 6 (0058 UT May 7)
6. C9.47 at 8:12 pm PDT May 6 (0312 UT May 7)
7. C9.69 at 8:20 pm PDT May 6 (0320 UT May 7)
8. M5.18 at 11:16 pm PDT May 6 (0616 UT May 7)
9. M1.34 at 1:23 am PDT May 7 (0823 UT)
10. M1.49 at 1:31 am PDT May 7 (0831 UT)
11. C9.59 at 3:42 am PDT May 7 (1042 UT)
12. M2.47 at 4:50 am PDT May 7 (1150 UT)
13. M1.59 at 5:53 am PDT May 7 (1253 UT)
In addition to this list, solar X-ray levels entered M-class range at 6:23 am PDT this morning (1323 UT) and stayed there for about 15 minutes before returning to C-class range. I’m sure this event doesn’t qualify as a “flare,” but it’s worth noting that we were receiving M-class X-ray energies for that period.
If this isn’t Solar Maximum, it’s darn close!
At this writing (about 8 am PDT/1500 UT), X-ray levels are hovering at about C4 level, so higher than what we consider “normal.” There are eight active sunspot regions on the Earth-facing side of the sun, two with very unstable Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic fields (3663 and 3664).
Today’s probabilities of flare activity are very high, as they’ve been for the past two days: 99% for C-class, 90% for M-class, and 50% for X-class.
π GEOMAGNETIC: The Earth’s magnetic field has been fairly calm for the past 24 hours, and conditions are quiet this morning (Kp2). The forecast indicates the possibility of minor activity (Kp4) sometime today.
π PLANETARY: The Taurus Moon aligned with Venus at 7:04 am PDT* this morning, supporting a feeling of deep peace and gratitude. With no other notable aspects for several hours, we may be able to maintain this centered space for a while.
However, we do have a very restless and potentially eventful New Moon tonight, and this energy will be building throughout the day. When the Sun and Moon align in Taurus at 8:21 pm PDT, they will also be conjunct Uranus and Jupiter, reactivating the influence of the recent Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.
While Taurus usually prefers comfort and simplicity, it is best not to expect life to feel familiar or to be uncomplicated now. Still, we may feel more excited than anxious at this New Moon. We could be surprised by our willingness to break from tradition and our ability to let go of attachment to what used to hold value for us.
Jupiter and Uranus encourage us to be open to change, to be willing to take risks, and to be innovative and creative in our approach to life. We will want to be flexible in our expectations, given that Uranus likes to surprise (or even shock) us and Jupiter magnifies whatever Uranus has planned. Breakthroughs and awakenings, breakdowns and rebellions, all are possible with this highly activated lunation.
Responsible Saturn in Pisces plays a supportive role in this New Moon, being in harmonious aspect and helping us stay grounded and have faith even as we move through change or challenges. Still, with Mars in Aries in hard aspect to the lunation, some may be impulsive or willful, and act out of frustration or anger.
Wishing you a blessed and inspired New Moon day,
π Pam Younghans
