SOLAR FLARES AND MORE: Over the past four days ‒ since the Jupiter-Pluto square on May 17 ‒ there have been an astounding 25 M-class solar flares, a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm that gifted us with some beautiful auroral displays, and a powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake in the South Pacific. While we cannot claim that the square caused" this dynamic activity, such events qualify as the kind of "cosmic coincidence" that often accompanies major planetary aspects.
