The Beating Heart of the Sun
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 02/21/2026
THE EVERSHED EFFECT: Something is sucking plasma out of big sunspots. This week, David Wilson observed the process in action from his backyard observatory in Inverness Scotland. Behold, sunspot 4374:
“I was trying out an old solar filter, and found this sunspot to be quite dynamic,” says Wilson. “Just look at the sunspot’s circumference.”
Around he outer edge of the sunspot, material can be seen moving radially outward in narrow flows. This is known as “the Evershed Effect.”
British astronomer John Evershed discovered the phenomenon in 1909 while he was working at the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory in India. (The government of India made a postage stamp to celebrate his work — the first-ever stamp to highlight sunspot dynamics.) More than 100 years later researchers still aren’t certain what causes the flows. A leading theory holds that material is being siphoned out of the sunspot through magnetic flux tubes much like a milkshake sucked out of a straw.
Ironically, 4374 is considered to be a quiet sunspot. During its two-week transit across the face of the sun, it did not produce a single strong solar flare. Yet Wilson showed that any random 15 minutes contains a lot of action and even a little mystery.

Strong solar flares are unlikely today. All of these sunspots have simple, stable magnetic fields.
(Except for the once in a while Evershed Effect.)

A HOLE IN THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE: A large hole has opened in the sun’s atmosphere, and it is spewing a stream of solar wind toward Earth. Estimated time of arrival: Feb. 24-25. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms and high-latitude auroras are possible when the gaseous material arrives.
Coronal Holes: 21 Feb 26

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
4 Dog/OC is a Sacred Observance of the Global Burner Day. Global Burners mark the Time of a Release of energy. The meaning of the Time is to draw us back together in Right Relationship. It’s Time to see beyond our differences and Remember the Dream of Love that lies within every Seed of Life. All things reach for the Light.
Dog/OC stands together with Monkey/CHUEN, the Master Creator with the Consciousness to Look for Love. The Gift of Consciousness includes the vision to see the irony of Love by the funny way we are inclined to show it. While we separate our Self from one another, we long to return. Sometimes we can’t resist to Love any way.
This is Time to join the Creator’s Pack and to open the Eyes of the Heart to see the Truth all around us from the 4 Corners of Earth. We’ll see the Truth of a Divine Reunion on February 28, 2026 when a parade of planets appears on the same path in the Heart of Sky.

When you feel lost, return to the Inspiration of Day One. Tone 1 of each trecena is the Light of God’s Divine Inspiration for 13 Days.
4 Dog/OC (Cherokee, WOLF/KANA’TI) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in 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.
Dog/OC: Courageous, loyal and warm-hearted, very alert and valiant, people born of Dog are respected for their sense of justice and their protection. People born of the sun sign Dog are very sensual and know how to enjoy life. Playfulness and a good understanding of the basic human nature lead to prosperity for Dog. Dogs are good team players who love to travel and have a keen sense of their position in society. Dogs are ambitious and will take opportunities when they offer themselves, including infidelities. Dog persons share the nature of coyotes, spies, wolves and lawyers.
A GOOD DAY TO: Enjoy family and friends.
Cherokee, WOLF/KANA’TI: Wolf’s symbol is Sirius (Dog star) and Antares, one or the other always visible but never at the same time. Wolf is our brother, shares our very roots. All dogs are domesticated wolves, companionship and guidance. Connecting link between the worlds. One who inspires loyalty, diplomacy and sense of humor with unlimited potential. A teacher, healer, pathfinder and transformer. Sharp as obsidian, gentle as a lamb. Totem -Dog. Loyalty and faithfulness that survives beyond death. This was the first day of creation energy in this 4th world, sets the energy for love, loyalty and faithfulness on the 5200 year cycle. Heart chakra energy is involved so that we can move to the state of “unconditional love” with compassion. All sexual desire issues that are not in harmony will surface to be cleared.
