There is substantial research on how solar activity significantly affects human physiology and psychology. This is not surprising given the fact that we are in fact bodies with millions of electrical generators (mitochondria) creating its own electric field. Both the human heart and brain are significantly affected by changes in that electric field including from increased solar activity. Indeed, some researchers believe our evolutionary thrust towards being human was jumpstarted by a period of intense solar activity.
How is this relevant to us? Changes in the Earth’s electromagnetic field can affect the way our brains process information. Research has shown a correlation between swings in the financial markets, for example, and increasing solar activity as evidenced by an increasing number of sunspots.
Consider the graph below which plots sunspot activity over the past 185 years. For each solar cycle, I have included the dates of peak sunspot activity and a small sampling of significant historical events. What is very important to understand is that BOTH beneficial and challenging events occurred underscoring how opportunity comes with challenge…
…It is up to us to steer a course toward a better future…

This information is not offered as a scientific study, but to bring to your attention the possibility that solar activity is at least partly behind significant human events. As more information from the current solar cycle (25) is made available, we shall use this information against astrological events to find patterns. Obviously, I have already become aware of a connection… 😉
Current estimates have sunspots remaining moderate and peaking sometime in the second half of this year (2024). However, these are only best estimates. Already NASA has revised their figures at least a few times because this cycle is not behaving as expected…
We’ll keep you updated.
In the meantime, take inventory of your life inside and out so you can strengthen what needs attention. The castle’s wall is only as strong as its stones. 🤗
