SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 01/19/2025

EXTREME COLD IN THE ARCTIC STRATOSPHERE: A rare and potentially-historic outbreak of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) is underway inside the Arctic Circle. Janne Kukkola photographed the display from Rovaniemi, Finland:

 

“The colors were amazing to the naked eye,” says Kukkola. “These clouds were appearing all over Finland, and even made the news. This is very rare.”

Rare indeed. Normally, Earth’s stratosphere has no clouds at all. Only when the temperature drops to a staggeringly-low -85 C can widely-spaced water molecules assemble into icy polar stratospheric clouds. With colors that rival auroras, PSCs are considered to be the most beautiful clouds on Earth.

Right now, NASA climate models are saying that the temperature of the polar stratosphere is at its lowest point since 1978. This super-cold air is directly responsible for the formation of PSCs. It is no coincidence that the polar vortex is now much stronger than average. The fast-moving vortex is keeping cold air bottled up over the Arctic. It’s the “perfect storm” for PSCs. Stay tuned!

INCREASING CHANCE OF FLARES: Don’t be surprised if there’s an X-flare today. Two sunspots (3961 and 3964) have unstable delta-class magnetic fields that harbor energy for strong explosions. Any flares will be geoeffective because the sunspots (especially 3961) are almost directly facing Earth. 

COMET ATLAS ENTERS THE SOUTHERN SKY: Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) is changing hemispheres. “The comet has finally arrived in the southern sky!” says Yuri Beletsky, who sends this picture from the ESO Paranal Observatory in Chile:

“It’s clearly visible as a very bright object shortly after sunset,” he says. “Although the tail is still quite short, the comet is truly beautiful.”

The southern shift is shown in this visibility plot from Nick James of the British Astronomical Association. Latitudes below -10^o are sharply favored for the rest of January. This sets the stage for many beautiful photos from the southern hemisphere in the nights to come.

TRECENA OF SEED/KAN: THE FACTS OF LIFE

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 Seed/KAN trecena is the beginning of Season 3, found in Volume 2. 

NOTE: If you see repeating numbers, SacredScribes is a resource to check the meaning of Angel Numbers.

9 Road/EB (Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA) – Day 9 of 13 in the trecena of 1 Seed/KAN

Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.

Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become care takers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Road is sometimes referred to as the sign of grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.

A GOOD DAY TO: Do some community service. 

Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA: Symbolized by a rainbow, the delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. Rattlesnake Tooth is the Natal day sign of Medicine, the Shaman, the Priest, the Healer, and the Sorcerer.  Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom.
