A Cause with an Unexpected Effect
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 06/04/2025
THE BIGGEST FORBUSH DECREASE IN 20 YEARS: Solar storms are supposed to make radiation go up, right? A severe solar storm on June 1st did just the opposite. The Oulu Cosmic Ray Station in Finland registered the biggest drop in cosmic radiation in more than 20 years:
This is called a “Forbush Decrease,” named after American physicist Scott Forbush who studied cosmic rays in the early 20th century. It happens when a coronal mass ejection (CME) sweeps past Earth and pushes galactic cosmic rays away from our planet.
On June 1, 2025, a fast-moving CME crossed Earth’s orbit and thinned our planet’s radiation environment. Cosmic ray fluxes dropped as much as 25%. To find another Forbush Decrease this deep, you have to go all the way back to October 30, 2003, when CMEs related to the famous Halloween Storms were pummeling Earth.
Galactic cosmic rays are an astronaut’s worst enemy. The European Space Agency has called them “the radiation showstopper for Mars exploration,” noting that “one day in space is equivalent to the radiation received on Earth for a whole year.”
The most vulnerable parts of the human body are those with rapidly dividing cells, including bone marrow, reproductive organs, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. Forbush Decreases can provide temporary relief; the problem is, there are not enough Forbush Decreases to make a Mars journey completely safe.
The current Forbush Decrease will subside in a week or two–just enough time for a quick trip to the Moon, albeit not beyond.
THE STORM IS OVER: One of the longest-lasting geomagnetic storms of Solar Cycle 25 has just ended. The severe G4-class storm began on June 1st when a fast halo CME struck Earth’s magnetic field. Immediately after the impact, auroras were photographed from Canada to the US Gulf Coast. Minor (G1) to strong (G3) storms continued through June 2nd and 3rd, sparking a rare 3-day display of Northern Lights.

Mayan Calendar Time
2 Star/LAMAT represents a Day of “pure luck.” Good luck or bad luck depends on the Seeds of Intention we sow. Seeds of Faith return unexpected results that multiply to abundance. Faith is a choice. It doesn’t mean we expect a Miracle, but that we will carry on in Faith no matter how things look in the world.
When God is the “object of our highest affection” we engage the Highest Force of Love with the Power of a Miracle to complete God’s Divine End of Life to Abundance. God reveals himself when, beyond all the odds, Faith that weighs heavy is turned into a blessing, when we least expect it.
Faith is beautiful when there’s no sign of a miracle, except for the Word of God.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 68:10-11, 20-21
R. (33a) Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.
or:
R. Alleluia.
A bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance;
you restored the land when it languished;
Your flock settled in it;
in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy.
R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Blessed day by day be the Lord,
who bears our burdens; God, who is our salvation.
God is a saving God for us;
the LORD, my Lord, controls the passageways of death.
R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.
or:
R. Alleluia.
It’s Human to care what others think. It doesn’t matter, as long as God’s Truth is the final Word. Nothing in the world is what it appears to be.

Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.
Star/LAMAT: Star energy is multiplication of all things to abundance. Star has been associated with the fertility of rabbits for its ability to multiply. As each sun in the sky, Star persons shine equally in all directions. This natural tendency of harmony and balance can become compulsion, motivating Star to be too agreeable and too generous, rejected gifts cause fear and resentment. When a Star believes it has been given too much, they are weakened or may even collapse. In this “Black Hole” state, Stars are prone to verbal jousting and arguing to force their point of view on everyone.
A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for Abundance in all relations.
Cherokee, Rabbit/NOQUI’SEGWA: Symbol-Venus, The Morning Star cycle of 260 days and Evening Star cycle of another 260 days, inspired the 13 numbers, 20 Day sign Sacred Calendar. Rabbit is the Trickster of Cherokee culture, matching the Coyote in other nations. The personification of Light and New Life, Sunrise, the scion of the Moon-Father of earth children, the Rabbit is fertility, be fruitful and multiply. Represents softness, gentleness and vulnerability. LAMAT– Totem Rabbit. Energies of re-birth, regeneration, ripening, harvest and abundance. This person is overflowing with love energy in all areas of life. Spiritual growth is natural and with ease due to the unconditional love energy that flows.
