I occasionally go online and ask my Higher Self, “What do I need to be aware of right now?” After asking I’m usually impulsed to go to some web site/blog site — even one that I may not know exists yet am quickly and easily led to it. I do this when I sense and feel Ascension-related beliefs, concerns, confusions and questions building in many people out there. To help me find and connect with what I’m feeling, I ask my Higher Self to led me to whatever information it is at whatever web site/blog site that I need to be aware of in that moment to not only aid me with what I’m feeling, but to hopefully help other people as well.

SLIGHT CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters estimate a 20% chance of M-class solar flares today. The most likely source would be sunspot AR1575, which is facing Earth squarely-enough for geoeffective eruptions. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

POLAR LIGHTS: A medium-speed (~450 km/s) solar wind stream is brushing against Earth's magnetic field, sparking intermittent auroras around the Arctic Circle. Frank Olsen photographed these colorful streamers over Sortland, Norway, during the early hours of Sept. 27th:

"The auroras shone right through the bright moonlight," says Olsen. "It was a nice [little outburst]."

The display was not caused by a geomagnetic storm, but at this time of year no storm is required. For reasons researchers do not fully understand, equixoxes favor auroras. During the nights of early autumn, even a gentle gust of solar wind can ignite colorful lights at high-latitudes. Browse the gallery for current images:
