High Winds, Auroras, and STEVE Marks the Spot

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 10/01/2025

THE SUN IS BLOWING A GALE: Earth has entered a stream of solar wind blowing faster than 700 km/s (1.6 million mph). This is extending geomagnetic unrest for the third day in a row. NOAA forecasters say G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Oct. 1st with continued auroras at high latitudes.

NOT ALL THOSE LIGHTS WERE AURORAS: A strong G3-class geomagnetic storm erupted on Sept. 29th, sparking intense auroras around the Arctic Circle. Vacationing from Florida, Bill Williams photographed the spray of color from the Gullfoss Waterfall in Iceland:

“The auroras were visible as soon as it got dark, but we were fighting misty moisture coming off the waterfall soaking us and our cameras!” says Williams. “Fortunately, the wind switched direction and provided us with drier conditions to photograph the light show.”

STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement): “X” Marks the Spot

Not all the lights in the sky were auroras. Many observers also witnessed STEVE — a bright mauve ribbon of light caused by hot plasma currents in the upper atmosphere. Daryl Pederson saw STEVE making a majestic ‘X’ with the Milky Way over Sterling, Alaska:

“After shooting the northern lights for 40 years, it’s fairly rare to come up with something new, but last night STEVE showed up and did the trick. Score!” says Pederson.

STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) was discovered by sky watchers in Alberta only about 10 years ago, although the phenomenon was surely active long before it was documented in scientific literature. STEVE is tricky, because it looks so much like an aurora. However, studies show that STEVE is not lit up by the same downward rain of electrons that causes ordinary Northern Lights. STEVE is its own thing.

This was a complicated storm. In addition to auroras and STEVE, some sky watchers also saw SAR arcs. These are deep red arcs caused by heat energy leaking into Earth’s upper atmosphere from our planet’s Saturn-like ring current system. In Michigan, Quinn Keon photographed a beautiful example of an SAR arc. In Finland, Matti Helin saw all three phenomena at the same time (below).

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity

“X” marks the 1st Day of October (10). The beginning is a Sign for the future. It may be a month of the accelerating Winds for Change. Wind/IK disseminates the Seeds of Life and disrupts an existing order of thoughts.

The Wind is God’s Voice of Creation and a symbol of the Power of Truth to change our mind. When storms come we run for a Sanctuary within. God is calling our attention to the Heart of Sky.

4 Deer/MANIK offers the Spiritual Tools to stand on Holy Ground. In the eye of the storm lies Peace, Wisdom and Truth beyond understanding. MANIK follows a dedicated daily path to an altar to kneel in Humility to the Holy, Mighty, and Immortal God. The Lord of all creation is the King of the Universe.

Time is Ordered to be of Service. Our prayers for one another uphold the Faith of the whole. Deer holds the Power of Harmonic Resonance. A song of Harmony chases the blues away.

John 1:5 – NIV
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

4 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Seed/KAN trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Free Calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.

Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.

A GOOD DAY TO: Be of Service to Others

Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi: Symbolized by Constellation Galagina, the Stag, known as Taurus, the Bull. It does not include the Pleiades and Hyades clusters which in Cherokee are viewed as separate. To feed, gatherers of food and supplies, they enjoy rituals, ceremonials, feasts, the souls of hospitality, sociability. Freedom versus security issues often inspire leadership and unique solutions.  Combined with artistic and inspiring energies in harmony with lunar cycles, they nourish the clans. Totem-Deer: A priest or shaman, a powerful person in general, to overwhelm an individual with one’s personal power, divination; inclined to become a teacher, healer, guru, civic leader, or politician.  Ability to create harmonic resonance.
