AFTERGLOW OF A CANNIBAL CME: A Cannibal CME hit Earth on April 15th. Three days later, the magnetosphere was still glowing. Guy Kimola photographed the display on April 18th from Fraser Lake, B.C., Canada. (Earlier post about Cannibal CME’s)
“I didn’t actually see the auroras,” he says. “I set the camera to take 40 shots for a startrails picture and went to bed. This is what I found in the morning.”
Cannibal CMEs are pile-ups of two or more CMEs. They contain shock waves and extra-intense magnetic fields that do a good job sparking geomagnetic storms and auroras. The Cannibal CME that struck on April 15th was a combination of two closely-spaced eruptions on the sun. It caused a severe geomagnetic storm on April 16th with a persistent afterglow long after the storm subsided.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G2): Moderate (G2) geomagnetic storms are possible on April 22-23 when a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) is expected to hit Earth. CIRs are transition zones between fast- and slow-moving streams of solar wind; they contain enhanced magnetic fields akin to those of CMEs. If the storm materializes, it could spark auroras in northern Europe, Canada, and northern-tier US states from Maine to Washington.

Mayan Time and Signs Above
9 Night/AKBAL is Time when God reveals himself in our Dreams… a Dark Night and a breakdown that leads to a breakthrough. The Video Animation of “The Sun Now” on the SDO website, certainly looks like God turning his face upon us. The Coronal hole is now in Earth-facing position to deliver a breath of the Son, and following behind, 4062 is moving toward it’s direct-facing position.
The Year of Jubilee is a promise of double-blessings. The Signs Above are of Light that comes before, and after. We have to wait to see what comes after the Solar Winds of what looks like a gaping mouth on a “face” of the Sun. Easter is the beginning, of the blessings that flow, after.
I was looking to see if the Sun would speak through a Sunspot overnight, but this is even better. The Wind of a Coronal Hole is a guarantee of a storm of Light on the way. And a “Guy” shared the vision of Time that happened “overnight.”
The Eagle/MEN 13-day trecena leads to an Ascension to “see the future.” We don’t know what it is, but our eyes have been opened to See the Light. The Day of Ascension is 13 Deer/MANIK, a Day for Vigilant Consciousness by the One who guides the whole to Leap for Higher Ground, seeing what’s coming and exactly where it’s coming from, from miles away.

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.
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.
