Major Solar Flare erupts, Uprisings across globe 2.15.11

As Above, So Below...eruptions are flaring up all over the place, including space:

Space Weather News for Feb 15, 2011

MAJOR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have detected the strongest solar flare in more than four years. At 0156 UT on Feb 15th, giant sunspot 1158 unleashed an X2-class eruption. X-flares are the strongest type of x-ray flare, and this is the first such eruption of new Solar Cycle 24. The explosion that produced the flare also sent a solar tsunami rippling through the sun's atmosphere and, more importantly, hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. This raises the possibility of geomagnetic storms in the days ahead.

You know, there's a Sabian Symbol for a certain degree (25 Scorpio)..."An X-Ray":

INVESTIGATION...

positive expression: an exceptional power of analysis;

negative/unconscious/shadow side: uncritical oversensitiveness to both the condition of the self and the state of society.


(The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones.)

Mars/Pluto-ruled Scorpio does love to investigate, delve, and spy a wee bit, doesn't it?

Hmmm...and speaking of flares, the horoscope of the January 4, 2011 Solar Eclipse 13Cap39 opposes US natal Sun (the leader) and conjoins Fixed Star Manubrium, keywords: a flaring heat. Manubrium, The Handle, is a star in the ear of The Archer in constellation Sagittarius.

Actually, transiting Venus 13Cap08 is triggering the current and crisis-degreed Jan 4, 2011 Solar Eclipse as I type, an eclipse which Celeste Teal has titled, The Balance of Power...a turbulent spirit against those in high places.

Major solar x-ray flares, uprisings across the globe, exiles crossing borders, and not one but two solar eclipses for summer: June 1 (11Gem01) and July 1 (9Can12), both affecting the US natal chart (June 1: US n Uranus and DESC; July 1: our n Jupiter and Sun.)

It's going to be a very hot summer.

So perhaps an astro-visit with Theodore White at Global Astrology may be called for if you pine for more details. Knowledge is power!

May 2009 Sun's new coronal mass ejections

Space Weather News for May 6, 2009

NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is monitoring an active region hidden behind the sun's eastern limb. On May 5, it produced an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME) and a burst of radio emissions signalling the passage of a shock wave through the sun's outer atmosphere.

Activity has continued apace today, May 6, with at least two more eruptions. The blast site is not yet visible from Earth, but the sun is turning the region toward us for a better view. Is a new-cycle sunspot in the offing? Readers with solar telescopes could see it emerge as early as May 7 or 8.
