May 2024 solar storms
- These storms happened during Universal Month 4
- ‘Number 4 is connected to Uranus/Aquarius (and slightly less connected to Saturn/Capricorn)
- Aquarius is the opposite of Leo. Leo is ruled by the SUN
- the Sun gives life force, is related to your ego and consciousness, vitality, learning, helps you choose reason over instinct, helps you “see”, sheds light on things & makes you aware of things in the here and now -- this particular solar storm resulted in auroras that had “widespread visibility”
- Aquarius is connected to electricity, “shocking”, awakening, very involved in science and new discoveries, unexpected events, disruptions, innovation, can be a “mad-scientist”
- Aquarius is an air sign. Air involves communication. Storms like this one can potentially disrupt communication equipment.
- Aquarius is also connected to rainbows. Auroras remind us of rainbows because auroras are very colorful.
- According to the following video from Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology released May 13th, 2024, the most significant Coronal Mass Ejections that they observed the previous week happened on Wewdnesday and Thursday. Wednesday would have been May 8th, 2024.
- This aligns with the fact that the previous Solar Eclipse occured on April 8th, and the fact that 2024 is a Universal Year 8 (2+0+2+4=8) and the fact that a full year is based on how long it takes the Earth to go around the Sun.

“Comparison to other solar storms
The disturbance storm time index (Dst index) is a measure in the context of space weather. A negative Dst index means that Earth's magnetic field is weakened. This is particularly the case during solar storms, with a higher negative Dst index indicating a stronger solar storm.
The 2003 Halloween solar storms had a peak Dst index of −422 nT,[33] while the March 1989 geomagnetic storm had a peak Dst index of −589 nT.[34] The May 1921 geomagnetic storm has been estimated to have had a Dst index of −907±132 nT. Estimates for the Dst index of the Carrington Event superstorm of 1859 are between −800 nT and −1750 nT.[35]
The May 2024 solar storms reached a maximum Dst index of −412 nT on 11 May.[36]
Impact
The storm has been negatively affecting ground-based broadcasting and two-way radio communications, especially on the HF band and to a lesser extent, the VHF and UHF bands, because it prevents the ionosphere from forming and thus interferes with propagation.[37][38]
In Canada, power companies BC Hydro and Hydro-Québec stated that they had prepared for the storm, and monitored it as its ejecta struck Earth on 10–11 May. Unlike in 1989 where a previous solar storm caused a nine-hour long power outage in Québec, no outages were reported as a result of the storm's effects.[39][40]
In New Zealand, Transpower declared a grid emergency, and took some transmission lines out of service as a precaution against the storm.[41]
In the United States, telecommunications companies AT&T and T-Mobile stated that they were prepared to respond to disruptions in their networks, but it was predicted that significant impacts to cell service were unlikely because the networks rely on different frequencies than the HF bands affected by the solar storm.[42] While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that there were power grid irregularities and degradation in GPS and high-frequency radio communications,[43] both the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Department of Energy reported no significant impacts to the population.[44]
Agricultural users of John Deere RTK GPS equipment reported significantly degraded positional accuracy during the geomagnetic storm. As the GPS receivers are used to guide tractors in precision agriculture, certain agricultural workers were forced to suspend planting activities entirely.[45][46]
Some aerial drone users flying during the storm experienced unusual behavior, including difficulty maintaining a stable hover, disruption of GPS signals, and in some cases a sudden loss of control which resulted in a crash.[47][48] Drones rely on GPS and magnetic signals to maintain position during flight, which are affected by geomagnetic activity.
At 00:19 UTC on May 13, the GOES-16 satellite, the primary operational geostationary weather satellite in the GOES East position, providing a view centered on the Americas, stopped transmitting all data. The transmission of data resumed nearly 2 hours later at 02:00 UTC.[49] There was a second loss of data transmission shortly after, lasting 11 minutes from 03:19 UTC to 03:30 UTC.[50]
Other impacts to satellite services include Starlink's fleet of low-orbiting satellites, which experienced degraded service because of the intensity of the solar storms, but remained operational.[51][52]”

"The recent solar storm that caused a lot of auroras was significant due to the following reasons:
- Widespread Visibility: The solar storm brought colorful auroras to southern Canada, the northern United States, parts of Europe¹, and even as far south as Chester, South Carolina⁴. This widespread visibility is quite rare.
- Intensity and Duration: The storm was of a strength not seen for two decades⁵. The energized particles causing the current wave of aurora traveled slower than light, causing the phenomenon to last for the weekend⁴.
- Potential for Disruptions: Geomagnetic storms like this one can cause disruptions to communications¹.
- Future Predictions: Even as this weekend's solar storm wanes, experts suggest that another could be on the way². This gives people another chance to see the Northern Lights.
- Scientific Interest: The event has drawn interest from scientists who study solar activity. For example, space physicist Steph Yardley described the auroras as "unforgettable"³.
- Photographic Opportunities: The storm provided amateur photographers with the opportunity to take some truly spectacular pictures⁵. For instance, a long-exposure photo showed the aurora borealis over Portland, Maine⁴.
This solar storm was significant not only because of its intensity and the widespread visibility of the auroras it caused, but also because of the potential for future similar events and the scientific interest it has sparked."

a bit more context:
“But what if a takedown of utilities and telecommunications is conveniently blamed on a superflare, accompanied by spectacular auroras around the world? What if many of the recent auroras witnessed from May 10-13 were not the result of solar flares? What if many of them were the result of High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) experiments?
According to expose-news.com, several AI chatbots had concluded that many of the auroras witnessed recently may have been the result of HAARP experiments conducted from May 8-10.”

“Now, the Earth periodically faces 11-year solar cycles. The current one, called Solar Cycle 25, began in December 2019 and is expected to peak into a “solar maximum” between late 2024 and early 2025. Rather coincidentally, the coronavirus “pandemic” began at the beginning of Solar Cycle 25.”

In Numerology 2026 is a Universal Year 1 (2+0+2+6=10, 1+0=1).
Number 1 is related to the Sun.
