Midsummer Storms, and Aurora Watch
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 07/05/2026
SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES: A new and active sunspot is emerging over the sun’s eastern limb. It announced itself on July 4th with an X1.3-class solar flare:
The flare caused a brief shortwave radio blackout over North America. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 20 MHz around 2041 UTC. The flare also produced a fast CME, but it will miss Earth. We won’t be in this sunspot’s strike zone for a few more days. Stay tuned.
MIDSUMMER GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Midsummer auroras are rare, but last night (July 3/4) they blanketed the USA during a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. The display was caused by a CME strike on July 3rd, which was hurled in our direction by an X1-class solar flare three days earlier. After the impact, observers in more than 30 US states reported seeing auroras.
“Holy smokes!” says Roger Hill, who photographed the geomagnetic glow through an electrical storm over Bennett, Colorado (+39.8N latitude):

“The geomagnetic storm became strong just as a cluster of severe thunderstorms formed east of our house,” says Hill. “The result? A *really cool* photo-op.”
We’ve also received reports from New Mexico, Kentucky, Utah, Colorado, Washington, Pennsylvania, New York, Idaho, Virginia, Wyoming, Ohio, Oregon, Nevada, California, Arizona–and almost every northern-tier state near the US-Canadian border.
It is unusual to have such a strong display so close to the summer solstice. Two reasons: (1) Short summer nights narrow the observing window. Persistent twilight can make even the strongest auroras impossible to see. (2) Auroras dislike solstices. The same Russell-McPherron Effect that boosts auroras around equinoxes also suppresses auroras around solstices. It took an “X-class CME” to overcome these obstacles.
LOCAL AND NATIONAL EARTH WEATHER:
Thunderstorms are also moving across Oklahoma and SE Kansas. The worst will miss Coffeyville, KS with the storms moving in a straight line to the East.
Good thing the neighbors were shooting off their fireworks till the wee hours last night. It’s raining, but the die-hards are still making noise.
Lightning and thunderstorms are crossing the Central to Eastern USA.
WEEKEND AURORA WATCH–CONTINUED: Last night’s strong geomagnetic storm is over, but another storm could be in the offing. NOAA models suggest that a second CME will graze Earth during the late hours of July 4th. If it makes contact, this CME could cause a G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storm. The auroras would not be as bright as last night, but fireworks photos might capture an unusually colorful background.

Sandy and Luna have moved back home after their initial departure “higher education”. For the time-being they’re doing “home school” where there’s a soft bed and Mom brings dinner.

The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.
It only takes 13 days to see how Faith is always raised to Knowing the Truth of Answered Prayers. You only have to track your thoughts. Record the matters on your mind in a journal to see how your perspective is changed by a Divine Order of Thoughts.
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.
Earth/CABAN is the 3rd trecena in the 3rd Season. The details are found in Volume 2.

Galactic Tone 7: Reflective; 7 stands as the mirror to divide light and dark and reflect all that is and is not. 7 is associated with the source of creation and the flow of divine will. 7 establishes the purpose to current and future goals.
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.
