From SpaceWeather:

A gigantic hole in the sun’s atmosphere has opened up and it is spewing solar wind toward Earth. Because this “coronal hole” is unusually wide, Earth could be inside the emerging solar wind stream for days. Minor geomagnetic storms are already in progress around the Arctic Circle. 

 
Sol is an aspect of our higher selves. From a spiritual point of view, the reason we are so affected by solar storms is because they affect us on that soul level. The reason I recommend the modified Sun salutation is to align your heart (your central Sun) with Sol (the central Sun of the solar system).

When Sol has a hole in its atmosphere, we, too, are vulnerable. Part of our boundary is down. This can result in feeling more emotional or in hypersensitivity. It’s not about being under attack, though. It’s about allowing the vulnerability, using it to connect with our loved ones on a deeper level. We probably also need to remember to practice extra self care though, so be gentle with yourself and with those around you. We’re all feeling it.
