Space Weather reports that Sun is "crackling with M-class flares" with chance for the biggie, the X. I already knew something was up, because of how I feel today -- the head squeeze, sensitivity to the computer and overall solar hangover.
Today I'm thinking about the upcoming solar eclipse in Gemini (May 20th), the sign that makes magic with perception. Being light on your mental feet is the way to go these days. And especially when we get these solar downloads -- the major flaring -- that take time to integrate.
Sometimes I find it challenging to put ideas into a form that makes sense, when my perception is being broken open to new, ever-widening frames. I start collecting my thoughts on something, as an influx keeps widening the bigger picture! The eclipse cycle in Gemini and Sagittarius cheers on, provokes, activates, the call to be ready to input new wild data at increasing speeds. It's exhilarating and exhausting too!
I wonder if any of you are experiencing this? Do you have physical or spiritual symptoms with major solar flaring? What are your strategies for processing the solar energies? Today I'll be walking barefooted as usual, which helps to ground, and also following my natural inclinations, rather than forcing myself to herd cats if the mental linear capacity just isn't there.
I do welcome the Sun's rays, as bringing activation-type energies that shake things up. And with a solar shake up, it's wise to let things settle. Have a great day!

Hi Molly,
I definitely feel it when the solar flare CME streams come through, like the two that arrived yesterday (the 9th) and more on the way.
Often, the solar energy streams make me feel amped up, a kind of ‘bee swarm’ type energetic. I feel it particularly around my thymus and throat centers. Later in the day, I often end up feeling spent.
What helps? Going a bit more gently, taking walks if the weather allows, flower essences, and my daily mantra-yoga practice. And sometimes just not doing a whole lot of anything for a few hours or the day.
How do others experience it?
Blessings,
Jamie
molly – YES!!! OMG – have been feeling completely out of sorts and almost dizzy today. i’ve been having trouble processing simple tasks that usually are second-hand. the feeling almost reminds me of a hang-over, without the fun imbibing the night before! i’m glad i read your entry today…i’m going to turn off the computer, grab my dog and head to the trails and river for the day and find a place to sit!! thanks always for your honest sharing
Thanks Jamie, for stopping by. I saw a lot of agitation in my husband today.
I’m starting to feel that ‘spent’ thing you describe, like ‘too little butter spread across too much toast’ as Bilbo said in LOTR.
Being in yin environments help me – Millie you mentioned the river, there’s the bath or I had the thought of being submerged (in pool or ocean), being near the ocean; in dense green places; under a sheltering tree in the park.
Sometimes I’ll do the vision healing technique of cupping hands on eyes. But anything that settles and cools — including s p a c e…. letting go of pressure to do, if possible.
I’d also like to hear others’ remedies …..
Yes, yes, and yes! I put 2 + 2 together about a month ago, and since then have been hearing the same from all over. A friend thought he was having a heart attack.
So great to see you here Pat. Yes, heart…I’ve read the surge to the heart with solar can be challenging for those with heart issues. (see info at the link) My sister had a day where her son was nauseous and they couldn’t pick up anything on the radio dial. Strange (and wonderful at times) things are happening — and we are in that solar maximum cycle.
I’m feeling edgy tonight and having to show big patience with Virgo man. I have a vegetable buffet here from my garden, am sure food will settle us both.
Much love to all!
With solar flares i always have a hard time keeping my eyes open. Most of the time I am able to close them for at least 20 min. As soon as I wake up I usually go sit out in the grass for a few minutes and ground myself. It doesn’t always help 100%. However, I am able to function again. Solar flares seem to literally knock me out.
