Incoming CMEs

SpaceWeather.com posted this entry this morning:

INCOMING CMES: On June 14th, for the second day in a row, sunspot AR1504 erupted and hurled a CME toward Earth. The fast-moving (1360 km/s) cloud is expected to sweep up a previous CME and deliver a combined blow to Earth's magnetic field on June 16th around 10:16 UT.

CMEs are waves of energy that are released by the Sun -- when they are directed toward Earth, we usually experience aurora borealis, and fluctuations in other energy fields on the planet -- including our own! And, it looks like we'll be getting the effects of two waves at the same time late tonight and into tomorrow.

So, if we feel a bit unsteady on our feet, at least we have a reason. We'll be in the midst of integrating and adapting to another wave of high-vibrational energy and information, on various levels of our beings.

Surf's up!

Venus before the transit

As Venus nears her transit of the Sun today, we get a rare view of the planet as a ring of light. Here's one photo, from Rob of Liverpool, UK:

Pretty spectacular! You can see more photos from other parts of the world on the SpaceWeather.com website today.

Enjoy the transit, wherever you may be.

Big days ahead

We have a lot going on over the next few days. In addition to the Lunar Eclipse on Monday, Neptune stationing retrograde on the same day, and the Venus-Sun occlusion on Tuesday, there's a large coronal hole that's just opened up on the Sun:

As the Sun rotates, that hole will be lined up with Earth, and we'll start receiving the solar winds it is releasing. According to SpaceWeather.com, this should be sometime June 5-7 (next Tuesday through Thursday).

So, energetically speaking, a lot to work with! Be gentle with yourself during this time, get plenty of sleep, get some exercise to keep the energy moving, and eat root vegetables for grounding (carrots, beets, potatoes, etc.)

Blessings,

Pam

Another eclipse photo

And, here's how the eclipse looked from Vancouver Island -- very mystical and mysterious. Many thanks to Kalon for sending this to me!

Even the car guys...

I had to chuckle this morning, when passing the local Jiffy Lube. On their marquee was written: LEAVE WORRY BEHIND.
Quite in keeping with the Gemini Eclipse themes!

And, here's one of the three stunning photos sent to me by Jim Perry -- showing his view of yesterday's eclipse from Valley View, Texas. Thanks, Jim!

Remembering to breathe ... DEEPLY

With the Gemini Solar Eclipse occurring tomorrow, we're already working with its energies pretty intensely. Throughout this past week, I've talked with clients who were experiencing the impact of this eclipse in their charts, as it initiated necessary change so that they could move forward in their lives.

Gemini rules the thinking process and our nervous systems, so it's not surprising to find that our minds are a bit harder to calm right now. If you find yourself feeling anxious over these next few days, remember to BREATHE consciously and deeply. It's amazing what profound effect that simple process can have. And, of course, if you have a meditation process you like to use, be sure to rely on that right now, too...

Other suggestions include listening to calming music, sitting outside in the garden in the sunshine -- whatever tools you have that help you relax your mind, breathe calmly, and create inner silence. Besides calming the nervous system, in that silence, we are more likely to receive the new levels of information that are available to us through this eclipse energy.

Blessings!

Solar winds and CMEs

If you monitor the SpaceWeather.com website, you already know that there has been increased activity on the Sun over the past day or so. Several strong flares have created solar winds that have headed toward Earth, at the same time that large coronal holes have released CMEs... All of which began interacting with Earth's energy field this afternoon (Wednesday, May 9) -- and, of course, all of our energy fields as well.

So, if you have been having trouble focusing for the past few hours (or have been feeling more emotional or tired or irritable), take it easy -- these energy waves can make us a little unsteady while we're getting used to them. Get good sleep, if possible, tonight, to allow extra time for integrating the energies. Meditate if possible, and drink plenty of water -- the usual advice for self-care.

And, stay open to the insights and information that these solar winds carry -- So much solar activity means we must be ready for our next step!
