Solar Winds, Comet Lemmon and Auroras
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 10/19/2025
COMET LEMMON AND THE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: An overdue CME passed near Earth during the late hours of Oct. 17th. The near-miss produced an unexpected photo-op. Auroras swallowed Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6):
Alan C. Tough captured the event from Elgin, Moray, Scotland. “I set up a star tracker with a DSLR and 150mm lens in my back garden to photograph Comet Lemmon when the auroras erupted,” he says.
The CME was expected to reach Earth two days earlier. Better late than never. It sparked a G1/G2-class storm with auroras sighted in the USA as far south as New York and Utah.
The storm is over, but the comet is still there. In fact, it’s about to make its closest approach to Earth, only 0.6 AU away on Oct. 21st. Shining at 4th magnitude, it will be visible to the naked eye and even cell phones (with night-sky photo settings) should be able to catch it. Point your optics low in the northwestern sky after sunset. Sky maps: Oct. 19, 20, 21.

A HOLE IN THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE: A high-speed stream of solar wind is approaching Earth. The gaseous material is flowing from a large equatorial hole in the sun’s atmosphere, and it could spark a G1-class geomagnetic storm when it arrives on Oct. 21st.
Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
9 Serpent/CHICCHAN represents a creation that is “finished” and the Source of Light and Life. CHICCHAN is a Quickening of the Spirit the Maya call “Lightning in the Blood.” CHICCHAN ignites our Spiritual Gifts of Feeling the Truth, beyond our 5 Senses.
The trecena of Earth/CABAN is a Clarion Call that begins every Great Migration on Earth. We are aligned with geomagnetic forces of our True North, realizing who we are that moves us to Live with all our heart. CHICCHAN is the Reason and Passion to live for a Divine Purpose. CHICCHAN is compared to the Yod. We are touched by the finger of God that empowers a Divine Life to be. God is the Source and we are the vessel for the Light of the Holy Spirit.
Tone 9 calls for Patience to see the Big Picture, to remember God’s Power to turn all things to his divine end.
“The Serpent/CHICCHAN lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself.”

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Free Tzolkin Calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
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.
Serpent/CHICCHAN: Movement and the creation of time. Sensual and dramatic, this sun sign embodies intense instinctual wisdom and creates a connection from Earth bound, to Heavenly aspirations. By sincere service to others, Serpent opens and expands its heart. Serpent aligns authority and the truth to bring justice that is quick and sure. Serpents are very adaptable, even fluid until trapped in a corner, and then they explode. Serpents, venomous temper poisons itself as well as others by creating resentful, suppressive and even destructive attitudes.
A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for Flexibility and Fluidity.
Cherokee, Serpent/DO’TSI: Serpent’s symbol is Constellation Serpens. Serpent people are Sky people who come to earth periodically as Educators. As above-So below, on Earth the Serpent is the roots of the tree of knowledge. Serpent power is vital energy, the moving force, the instinct and desire for creativity, the trigger that sets off the action. It lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself. Knowledge, combining science, technology and psychology, plus spirituality are seeded on the planet.
