SUNSPOT TOO BIG FOR WEB PAGES: New sunspot 4493 is so large, only a fraction of it fits onto the page. Click to view the entire sunspot in a state of turmoil on July 21st:
“Just ust 40 minutes of data reveals how fast AR4493 is evolving, increasing in total size, with many vortices, signs of the magnetic flux tubes emerging and rotating,” says photographer Maximilian-Vlad Teodorescu of the Institute of Space Science in Romania. “What a show! “
Since yesterday, this sunspot has more than tripled in area. Moreover, it has developed a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field in which opposite polarities are crowded together in explosive proximity. Earth is squarely in the strike zone if an X-flare occurs today.

A HOLE IN THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE: A canyon-shaped hole has opened in the sun’s atmosphere, and it is spewing a stream of solar wind directly toward Earth. G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible when the solar wind arrives on July 22nd.
THE RAZOR-THIN DUST TRAIL OF COMET 10P: On July 20th, Earth passed through the orbital plane of Comet 10P/Tempel. During the crossing, the comet’s dust trail narrowed like the rings of Saturn. Michael Jäger and Gerald Rhemann photographed the phenomenon using an 8-inch telescope:
“The comet’s prominent dust trail was clearly visible,” says Jäger.
Note the distinction: trail vs. tail. The narrow structure in this photo is a trail–a pancake of gravel-sized debris that has settled into the comet’s orbit over thousands of years. This differs from a tail, which is a young spray of fresh gas and dust in many directions.
Comet 10P’s razor-thin trail was discovered by NASA’s Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) in 1983–one of the first ever found. Catching it with a backyard telescope is a rare feat.

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
The Truth was revealed by the Father on 11 Sun/AHAU. Comets, Meteors, and Fireballs were acknowledged by the Maya as the Sign of the Holy Spirit moving in the up above. Only a crescent of the Moon can be seen, the symbol of our emotions and the compassionate heart of the Mother. This is a dynamic lunar cycle — the month of the Full Thunder Moon.
The 13-Days of the 1 Dog/OC trecena is a lesson that raises our Consciousness of the Divine Source of Unconditional Love.

THE TRECENA OF DOG/OC: THE CREATION OF LOVE
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round so you might discern the meaning of Time for yourself. If you track your thoughts, you’ll discover the way is written within.
The Dog/OC trecena is found in the 3rd Season of the Tzolk’in Guide:
VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
NOTE: If you haven’t kept a Journal of your Count of Days, you can look for the Synchronicity of Time in the major experiences of your life.

Galactic Tone 12: Twelve is a gift of great capacity of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.
Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.
Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle. Totem-Dragon. The energy to understand all things sacred; creation energy, connection for visions, to learn the mysteries of the Universal Knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.

QUESTION – How are you doing? The energy here has been a little off for the past two days. The guard dogs next door didn’t make a sound at my coming/going this morning. My cat talking non-stop – after feeding her breakfast, a dry food snack, and a special treat. I don’t know what she wants. That’s more than I ever do at once. Have you seen any changes in your pets?
