Keep an eye on the sky this weekend! The northern lights are said to be casting their luminous glow across parts of the United States, which begs the question: Could this colorful spectacle affect your zodiac sign?
Also known as the aurora borealis, the northern lights have fascinated people for centuries with their mesmerizing display of colorful lights. This celestial phenomenon occurs when supercharged particles from the sun collide with Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing bursts of light. However, thanks to our planet’s protective magnetic field, these energetic particles—which “slam into Earth’s upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph,” according to Space.com—are redirected toward the North poles. and South.
According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, space weather forecasters have been monitoring the sun since May 8 following a series of solar flares and have issued a Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch (G4) for the first time since 2005. Due to the intensity of the storm , space weather experts said aurora could be seen “as far south as Alabama and Northern California.”
Although there is no direct correlation with the signs of the zodiac, the northern lights are triggered by solar activity (like solar flares), and the sun is our largest source of energy on the planet. In astrology, the sun symbolizes ego, the life force and physical identity of the individual, fundamentally affecting individual and collective expressions. The intensity of these magnetic storms may have an energetic effect on us, heightening our emotional sensitivity, but there is no guarantee.
