A Mystery of Time and Light
Solar maximum is coming, but we won’t know it happened until 7 months after it’s over
The sun has been gradually gaining strength as it nears its highest rate of activity — solar maximum — during its approximately 11-year solar cycle.
The solar cycle describes a period of solar activity driven by the sun’s magnetic field and indicated by the frequency and intensity of sunspots visible on the surface.
But, scientists won’t be able to ascertain whether solar maximum has occurred until at least seven months after the fact. We asked ESA’s Space Weather Coordination Center’s (SSCC) solar expert center why this is the case.
The Truth is Discerned in the Context of Time
“The maximum is computed (as a convention) with the 13-month smoothed sunspot number (which means that for each month you use the value of six months before and six months after),” Solar expert center scientists told Space.com in an email. “The exact value of this quantity for time T is known only 6 months later.” (Full Article on Space.com)
The Effect of Solar Maximum on Humans
As far as we know, we’re going through it. The question is the peak of solar radiation. Solar flares disrupt communication systems and weaken the Earth’s magnetosphere. Solar radiation can disrupt the nervous system, energy levels, and sleep patterns. If you’re stressed, you might feel more stressed. If you’re holding steady, the current could weld something stronger into place. It’s a choice of seeing it one way or the other. (It may be a good time to work on our posture.)

HERE COMES THE MARTIAN SUNSPOT: A sunspot so big it is visible from Mars (Perseverance saw it last week) is turning toward Earth today. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory is watching it emerge over the sun’s eastern limb:

NOAA has designated this sunspot AR3576. It has half-a-dozen dark cores and a strange tail more than 5 times longer than Earth. If you have eclipse glasses, put them on and look at the sun. You can see this behemoth without magnification.
Because of its location on the sun’s far-eastern limb, we can’t yet get a good look at the sunspot’s magnetic field to assess possible instabilities. However, we already know that the active region is crackling with M-class solar flares.
This activity, plus its formidable size, suggests AR3576 is a threat for even stronger X-flares.
Clearly, the Sun is Heralding an event of a Peak Unknown. We’re hanging on for every Word.

THE TRECENA OF REED/BEN: CONNECTING THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

THE TRECENA OF REED/BEN: CREATING A PLACE OF BELONGING
11 Night/AKBAL (Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA) – Day 11 of 13 of the 1 Reed/BEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
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.
Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void. a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend some time contemplating the stars.
Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night. Belief is so strong that the surrounding elements become entrained to their rhythm and all resistance falls away. With respect and honor of intuition combined with knowledge this energy creates the magic of the center in this dimension. AKBAL-Night-Totem-OWL: Guardian of the Night Sun. Energies for the opening of mystic secrets, seeing through the masks of deception, trickery. High ability of discernment. Portals open to other worlds and dimensions for your learning and spiritual growth. Magical abilities are possible.
