SOLAR MAX MIGHT ARRIVE EARLY: Solar Maximum is coming–maybe this year. New research by a leading group of solar physicists predicts maximum sunspot activity in late 2023 or early 2024, a full year earlier than other forecasts.

“This is based on our work with the Termination Event,” explains Scott McIntosh, lead author of a paper describing the prediction, published in the January 2023 edition of Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences.

 

The “Termination Event” is a relatively new concept in solar physics. It is a period of time on the sun as short as one month when magnetic fields from one solar cycle abruptly die (they are “terminated”) allowing magnetic fields from the next solar cycle to take over. After a Termination Event, the new solar cycle skyrockets.

McIntosh and colleagues have studied termination events for many solar cycles, and they have discovered that its timing can predict the future. “Our latest work pinpoints the Termination Event between Solar Cycle 24 and Solar Cycle 25 at mid-Dec. 2021,” explains McIntosh. “This tells us about the next Solar Max.”

According to their paper, it is coming between late 2023 and mid 2024, with a peak total monthly sunspot number of 184±63 (95% confidence). This means Solar Cycle 25 could be twice as strong as old Solar Cycle 24, which peaked back in 2009.

Their forecast jibes with another big event. The sun’s global magnetic field is about to flip. This happens near the peak of every solar cycle. Magnetic fields near the sun’s poles weaken, change sign, and start growing again in the opposite direction. It’s like taking a bar magnet from your refrigerator and flipping it upside down–except this bar magnet is as big as a star.

Measurements from Stanford’s Wilcox Solar Observatory (pictured above) confirm that the weakening is underway now, with polar magnetic fields probably crossing zero in no more than a few months. “Historically the zero crossing precedes actual sunspot number maximum by 6 to 12 months,” says McIntosh, “so this is in accord with our prediction of an early Solar Max.”
This forecast is about to be tested, with confirmation as little as 6 to 12 months away. Stay tuned for Solar Max!

11 Seed/KAN (Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA)

Galactic Tone 11: Resolution; 11 assists every new thing to find its place in the universe in the process of ‘fitting in.’ some modifications must occur. Eleven is the energy of dynamic actions facilitating change, simplification and improvement.

Seed/KAN: Family, sexual activity and the magic of germination are the characteristics of this sun sign. Natural net workers, Seed people strive to free themselves and others from debt or oppressive patterns of the past. Abundance is gathered by Seeds as if with a cast net. Seed persons are public defenders who work toward uniting community by discovering hidden traps and secret influences of others. To generate true abundance, Seed must learn to appreciate all gifts and lessons received and conduct profound investigations into its self. In the absence of gratefulness and the courage to face oneself, Seed finds itself in less than less fertile environments.

Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA   O’STO: Dragon’s symbol is Draco winding between the Little Dipper and Big Dipper. Dragon is the Corn Spirit, symbol of dual personality of Corn Mother and Maiden; fertility and pro-creation from generation to generation. The word dragon means “eye, to look at, to see clearly”. Spirit brings energy of Lawgiver, Justice, vigilance and protective, loyal unto death. Ley lines in China are “dragon lines”, energy is sometimes called “orgone energy”, pyramid power or magnetic force. Pyramids and kivas are collector portals for this energy, known as vortexes. Dragon energy beats a path everywhere, stirring things up with a big stick in tune with the beat of the drum, heartbeat of the Earth.
