More on Scorpio

I just ran across an old article I wrote, about 10 years ago, about Scorpio -- if you'd like to read it, it's still online at this URL:

(And, you can see an old photo of me, too!)

Sun activity

The Sun has gotten more active again in the past couple of days -- a very high-level M-class solar flare yesterday (rated M-9), and more being forecast. A new, very active sunspot has just rotated around to the Earth-side of the Sun, so any flares that are released by that spot will be coming our way.

Solar flares have effects on Earth's atmosphere, and on our own individual electromagnetics as well. We can see the results of the Sun-Earth interaction through the glorious auroras that shimmer and fill the skies in the higher latitudes. On a more personal level, we may be able to sense the increased activity in our personal energy fields, and also notice a new movement in life events.

If you'd like to monitor solar flares, and the current speed and density of solar winds, they're posted and updated many times throughout the day on the SpaceWeather.com website. It's an interesting exercise to see if we can finetune our extra-sensory abilities to pick up energetically what is being monitored scientifically.

Auroras

The aurora borealis has been so spectacular this week, I'm having a hard time picking one specific photo for this week's NorthPoint Journal.

And, of course, that means we've been receiving extra impacts this week from solar winds. Perhaps that explains the sudden acceleration in certain life issues again, as we're encouraged to step more boldly into new definitions of self and future.

If you're interested in seeing some of the aurora photos from this week, click here. The page (on the SpaceWeather.com website) is full of thumbnail photos, and you can click on them one at a time to see it full-size. Enjoy!

Here's one I loved but didn't choose for the Journal, since it's in landscape instead of portrait format -- but I did choose it as my desktop background for the coming week, since it is both glorious and peaceful:

Riding into the wave

I've just read an excellent metaphorical description of the effects of the Pluto-Uranus square, especially as it was involved in the Full Moon on September 29. If you'd like to read it, here's the link to the blog post by Suzanne Lie: "Seize the Astrological Moment." The post also talks about the upcoming Saturn ingress into Scorpio, and its effect on the Captain (Pluto) of the Ship (Uranus).

I hope you find it helpful, too!
