(fr/spaceweather.com) The magnetic canopy of sunspot 1166 erupted on March 7th around 1400 UT, producing an M2-class solar flare and a bright coronal mass ejection (CME). Click on the image to launch a movie of the expanding plasma cloud:
The CME was not squarely directed at Earth. Nevertheless, the cloud will probably deliver a glancing blow to our planet’s magnetic field on March 9th or 10th, possibly sparking polar geomagnetic storms. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
It is always most difficult to accept that things have changed to the point at which they will not/cannot return to the way they were before. But now is the time to accept that as a fact. Then things will begin to make some sense. Another thing you may begin to notice is the that your sense of smell is becoming more acute. In certain cases, you will not be able to pinpoint the source of the odor, but analyze it for what it is. There is some information there
Overall Color for the Week: Rose Gold
Renewal, self worth, value, personal power, All of these are issues that will be in front of you this week. It is a good idea to know what is important for you on a most essential basis. This is not a good time or energy in which to be playing games or adapting to the whims and wills of others. Trying to do so will ultimately lead to problems and issues as you will find yourself having to choose whether you will follow their path or your own. .
On a larger scale, there are some bumps in the road in terms of the shifts, earthquakes, eruptions, and weather patterns on the Earth. There can be effects on electronics from Sun activity and otherwise, some kind of energetic pattern that has no known source but is causing issues. There will be patterns in some of these things, so be alert. There are other tinder box types of situations on the globe that will be smoldering. A little recognized country has an important announcement .More and more information will be coming out about crop failures and seed issues. People on the grass roots level will begin to question these things as the period of planting and plowing begins in the middle of the United States. There is a wind blowing strongly across western China. And disruptions in travel services are possible. There is also some crazy energy around the space shuttle. Be discerning in what you read and hear. There is much more going on below the surface. Animal activities are going to be out of season, along with, regrettable more animal deaths. There will be further evidence of some kind of ET activity. There will be attempts to discredit the reports, but this time, the evidence is somewhat overwhelming.

Things are not always as they seem. This is a day for tuning into your inner guide and trying to figure out just what is truly important for you and what all the little physicalsymptoms you have been experiencing actually mean. This is a good day for catching up, as there is something in the air that will allow you to take on that new perspective. It is always difficult and even threatening some times to see things in a new light, or even as they really are, but right now that is very important. There are things you have outgrown. There are things, people, experiences that no longer fit WHO you are becoming. This is a day for strength. Strength is different from power. It has an inner source, and that source is always connected to the greater whole, the greater good. All true things want you to be strong. You have support. Go for it.

There is something undefined in the air today, so you just might feel yourself a little out of sorts. You are reacting to an energetic shift that is just now beginning to be felt. Some of it is harnessed to the shifting energy of the Sun, so it would be a good thing to spend some time in the Sun’s energy today. It can come through, even with cloud cover. Be aware of and listen to your intuition. There are messages out there that you need to know. People are acting differently, and you will want to be able to see where this is coming from Some reflects real changes being made as more and more people transition into what they consider a ‘safe’ mode. Be compassionate today. judge no one, including yourself, too harshly. There is love in the air, and if you are open, you can bask in its warmth.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream hit Earth’s magnetic field during the early hours of March 1st, sparking a day-long magnetic storm that is subsiding but perhaps not over yet. In recent hours, spotters have reported auroras over Northern Ireland, Scotland, Latvia, Norway, and Sweden. High-latitude sky watchers in North America should be alert for green lights as night falls across their continent. Stay tuned! [Aurora alerts: phone, text]
NASA space physicist James Spann sends this picture from Poker Flats, Alaska, where he is attending a scientific conference to study auroras:
Photo details: Nikon D700 with 14-24mm lens at f/3.5, exposure of 25 seconds at 14 mm, ISO 1000
“This is the first time I have seen the aurora borealis in person,” says Spann who lives in Alabama. “It was fantastic–the greatest light show on Earth. It was cold (<-20 F) outside but worth every minute of exposure and lost sleep. I am afraid now that I have been ruined for life since my first personal viewing of the aurora was so amazing." As a researcher he also appreciated the greater meaning of the display: "This is the most obvious and accessible evidence of the connectivity that Earth has with our star the sun. Witnessing the connectivity first-hand was particularly special to me."
This is, perhaps, a fitting week for the beginning of March, as the week will come in “like a Lion” bringing with it turmoil, confusion, tendencies towards anger and overreaction, as well as a lot of weather. There is nothing that will be the same anymore, so if you have been wanting to change your image, your clothes, cut your hair, scream out loud, find new friends, change…, go for it. The momentum is there, and the thoughts, opinions, and coercions of other are no longer quite so important. It is as though there is a new tune in the air, which is overshadowing the old music you always paid attention to. Both joy and fear will be themes this week, and, interestingly, one situation can evoke both reactions. This is a week in which you can truly choose which way it is that you are wanting to go. This is a time to keep your eyes and options open. Listen to your heart, Follow your intuition, and believe in the deepest core self of WHO you are. Continue reading
Two planets found sharing one orbit

Buried in the flood of data from the Kepler telescope is a planetary system unlike any seen before. Two of its apparent planets share the same orbit around their star. If the discovery is confirmed, it would bolster a theory that Earth once shared its orbit with a Mars-sized body that later crashed into it, resulting in the moon’s formation.
The two planets are part of a four-planet system dubbed KOI-730. They circle their sun-like parent star every 9.8 days at exactly the same orbital distance, one permanently about 60 degrees ahead of the other. In the night sky of one planet, the other world must appear as a constant, blazing light, never fading or brightening.

Comment: Does this add to the possibility for the ‘Other Earth’?
Some Hazy Energy moving through the yard:
EASTERN BLAST: The quiet didn’t last long. Earth-orbiting satellites detected an M3-class solar flare at 0735 UT on Feb. 24th. The source was an active region located just behind the sun’s eastern limb. The eruption produced strong radio emissions, a coronal mass ejection (not Earth directed), and this spectacular picture taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory:

Overall Color for the Week: Dark Lime Green
The beginning of this year marked a time in which things would never be the same again. The previous weeks have given evidence to this fact, and this week can make this fact even clearer. There is a change in the air. In personal relationships, this week can bring some revelations and disillusions. This is a time in which it is important to be strong and centered in WHO you are, for it is your very core, your center, that will bring you through theses times with renewed power and vision. Take time in your outings this week to look around and appreciate the beauty of nature and the wonder of this world. Work with the energies of your heart. Intuition becomes more and more a factor as time goes by. There can be some nagging physical issues that come up this week. Take care of your body. Also, spend some time reviewing with these issues as knowing the source can give indications of larger things on other levels than just the physical. Continue reading
ANOTHER X-FLARE–ALMOST: Fast-growing sunspot complex 1161-1162 erupted on Feb. 18th, producing an M6.6-class solar flare. The almost-X category blast was one of the strongest flares in years and continued the week-long trend of high solar activity. NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of more M-flares during the next 24 hours.
WAVES OF IONIZATION: Waves of ionization are rippling through Earth’s upper atmosphere in response to the recent onslaught of solar flares. This affects the propagation of radio signals–suppressing some frequencies and boosting others. By monitoring distant transmitters at a frequency of 23.4 kHz, Rudolf Slosiar of Bojnice, Slovakia detected nearly a dozen sudden ionospheric disturbances (SIDs) on Feb. 18th:
…More waves of ionization are iin the offing as sunspot complex 1161-1162 continues to crackle with M-class solar flares.
