Sunspot 4513 in Geoeffective Position
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 08/22/2026
IT’S RAINING PLASMA: Amateur astronomers are watching a rainstorm on the edge of the sun. Pat P. of Pittsburgh, PA, photographed the downpour on Aug. 21st:
“It was spectacular!” says Pat.
The technical name of this phenomenon is “post flare loops.” These are glowing arches of hot plasma that appear above the sun after a powerful solar flare. They trace magnetic field lines that have snapped, reconnected, and filled with superheated gas. “Raindrops” of plasma fall back to the sun as the loops relax.
The flare that produced these loops occured just behind the limb of the sun. We couldn’t see it. But the resulting rainstorm was a beauty.

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: Sunspot 4513 has developed a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Unlike Thursday’s M8-class flare, which missed Earth, future flares will not miss. The sunspot has us in the strike zone now.

THE TRECENA OF OFFERING/MULUC: REDEMPTION OF THE CHRIST SPIRIT
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. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.
THE SEASON OF ASCENSION: The Offering/MULUC trecena is the 2nd trecena in the 4th Season, found in VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)

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.
Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become caretakers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Road is sometimes referred to as the sign of grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.
A GOOD DAY TO: Do some community service.
Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA: Symbol is Rainbow, a delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. The Natal day sign of Medicine, the Priest, the Healer, and Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom. Rattlesnake Tooth in the Sky is the Rainbow. It is a brilliant display of the Sun ray’s in seven colors, violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Day and Night, Sun and Moon, Physical and Spiritual join in a glorious display of the Heavens. To project this image requires water and Light, the great healer of all life.
Auroras and Solar Winds are in the forecast for today.
