The Effects of Solar Minimum and Cosmic Rays

Solar MinimumOver the weekend, I posted to Facebook that

SpaceWeather says “The solar cycle is plunging to its lowest level in years. As sunspots vanish and the sun’s magnetic field weakens, cosmic rays are penetrating the inner Solar System in greater numbers than usual. “

This is called Solar Minimum. Interestingly, I’ve recently been seeing (and feeling) a trend of people having lower energy and a lack of motivation. I’m also finding that people who have interesting magnetic fields, that is to say, who aren’t always to be trusted with electronics, have been having even more issues than usual with anything electrical or containing a computer chip. On the up side, people’s intuition is also increasing.

In general, everything is getting a little more polarized. People who act unconsciously are acting even more unconsciously. People who are accident prone are klutzier. People who don’t like to analyze are analyzing even less. People who do like to analyze are seeing connections previously hidden. That can be a boon or spell disaster, depending on how you set up your life. If you’re looking to change habits, this is probably a fortuitous time to do the work; all you have to do is set the intention and have a bit of focus, and the flow will carry you along. If you’re just muddling through, though, and don’t want to expand or grow, you might start running into some brick walls.

At least we won’t be feeling jangly for no apparent reason for a while… (mind you, last time we said we were approaching Solar Minimum, there were surprise solar storms)
