A Disruption of Spatial Discernment
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 12/09/2024
SOLAR STORMS ARE DRIVING FARMERS CRAZY: Planting season is a hectic time for farmers. For many, it means working through the night using GPS-guided tractors to plant thousands of acres in a short period of time. The season was in full swing on May 10, 2024, when the biggest solar storm in decades struck Earth.
“Our tractors acted like they were demon possessed,” says Elaine Ramstad, a Spaceweather.com reader and aurora chaser who helps out on a family farm in Northern Minnesota. “All my cousins called me during the May 10th storm to tell me that ‘my auroras’ were driving them crazy while they were planting.”
Modern farmers rely heavily on GPS. Guided by satellites, smart tractors can work around the clock, seeding perfectly straight rows with precise amounts of seed and fertilizer. When harvesting time comes, the tractors can return to exactly the same spots to pick the crops.
This kind of precision agriculture has become widespread. “I would guess 80% or more of all farmers in the Midwest use at least basic GPS for something–whether it’s auto-steer or yield mapping,” says Ethan Smidt, a service manager for John Deere. “At least 50% of all farmers are VERY reliant on GPS and use it on every machine all year long.”
Solar activity poses a growing problem for farm-tech. During big solar storms, a layer of Earth’s atmosphere called “the ionosphere” fills with bubbles, waves, and turbulence, which severely distort radio signals from GPS satellites. Sometimes tractors and harvesters can’t lock on, which stops them in their tracks. Or the signal may be garbled, causing them to juke back and forth.
May 10th wasn’t the end of it. Tractors went off-course again during the autumnal storms of Oct. 6th and 10th.
Ramstad was helping her cousins defoliate sugar beets on Oct. 6th when her tractor started acting up: “As the aurora activity began, my GPS was off by close to a foot. Twice while on Autosteer, the tractor danced a row to the left, to the right — and then the defoliator was off a row, so I had to loop around and start over. By nightfall, there was no controlling the Autosteer.”
Indiana farmer Michael Spencer had a similar experience: “This fall was the first time I was able to see the aurora. My hair was standing on end from the beauty, however, it did make the John Deere tech dance. When the storms were strongest around Oct. 7th, my tractor’s Autosteer system would ‘jump the line’–meaning, the tractor would make a quick jolt left or right and I would have to manually reset.”
It doesn’t take an historic solar storm to cause problems. While the May 10th storm was a rare and extreme category G5, storms in October were much more common category G3 and G4 events. All of them sent massive pieces of hardware off course.
NASA says that Solar Maximum has arrived, and it could last for another 1 to 2 years, confusing tractors again in 2025 and 2026. Stay tuned for more crooked rows.
IMPULSIVE X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Sunspot 3912 erupted on Dec. 8th (0906 UT), producing an X2-class solar flare and a shortwave radio blackout over southern Africa. The explosion hurled a CME into space, but it will not hit Earth.
Mayan Time
What may appear to be “impulsive” X-class flares were predestined by the Author of Creation who manifested perfect time. 7 Monkey/CHUEN defines the Time when we’re called to Higher Consciousness of the Divine Order for the Creator’s plan. No one knows the Day or the Hour except for the Author of the Creation. The Maya’s most accurate measure of Time is the moment that Venus transits the Sun, a Time when all the calendar wheels are synchronized in perfect time, including the vague time of the 365-days of Earth’s rotation. Venus is the symbol of the Scion. In its transit it transcends the Light that guides us every Day. Venus catches up with the Sun, and in the Central Moment, the 2 are joined as One in the Meaning and Purpose of Time.
If you’ve ever experienced being in a Time and Place where you know you were divinely ordered to be, every moment before and after was predestined for a purpose. Monkey/CHUEN represents the Higher Consciousness that is awakened by the Creator’s Light of Illumination. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be, to be in a perfect Time and Place that lies in the future. We don’t have to know what it is. Nothing we could do can change the Creator’s plan, even if we fail to choose it. If we fail to choose it, we’ll still come to the realization what the Time was Divinely Intended to be, and we’ll still see all the Signs we witnessed but didn’t ask to know what they meant, because we were sure it wouldn’t matter in the dream we created for a worldly end.
Our spatial discernment is being confounded by the Sun’s geomagnetic energy, because we were wrong about the Truth of the straight an narrow path. The Sun is powerful enough to change our course. The first step is knowing the perfect straight and narrow is beyond human’s control. CHUEN raises our curiosity of such things we’ve taken for granted by a lower discernment of truth we conceived by the world’s measure. We have to know we’re wrong, to choose to know what’s Perfect and Good.

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: AWAKENING THE GIFTS OF SPIRIT
My gift for the Tzolk’in round is the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in round. The “Field Guide” is available to download from a link on the 13-day Trecena Guide Page.
Tracking your thoughts during one 13-day trecena, you will see the synchronicity of Time, and an ascension as the answer to a prayer you hold as an Intention of thought from the beginning.
The Serpent/CHICCHAN trecena is part of Season 2, found in Volume 1.
NOTE: If you see repeating numbers, SacredScribes is a resource to check the meaning of Angel Numbers.

Galactic Tone 7: Reflective. Seven stands as a mirror to divide light and dark and to reflect all that is and is not. Seven is associated with the source of creation and the flow of Divine Will. With a keen sense of ethics, Seven establishes purpose to current and future goals.
Monkey/CHUEN: Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time. Monkey takes ideas as threads of vines and weaves them into the fabric of our reality. New patterns or inventions are also woven into our lives by Monkey. Amiable, intelligent, generous and a jack of all trades, Monkey’s innocent curiosity leads to artistic expression and constructive solutions. Many Monkeys become highly respected merchants or speakers. They love performing practical jokes and crave attention, so much so that they may over-act or play the fool to get the spotlight. Monkeys have a short attention span and find it difficult to stay with anything long enough to master it.
A GOOD DAY TO: Begin anything new in your life.
Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI: Star Symbol: Algol, a star in Perseus. Restless energy yearning for long-lost love. Algol was named DEMON STAR or MISCHIEVOUS ONE by the Ancients because it winks and fades at times. Raccoons are full of friendly mischief, eager to swap kisses for candy; magnetic leaders, full of humor and gaiety. Favorite food is corn, the mainstay of the Cherokee. Very artistic while being the “masked bandit” who steals your heart.
Perseus captured the demon star that was leading the world astray.
