Keep your eyes on the sky this weekend! The Northern Lights are said to cast their luminous glow over parts of the United States, which begs the question: could this colorful spectacle affect your zodiac sign?
The Northern Lights, also known as 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. Thanks to our planet’s protective magnetic field, these high-energy particles — which “collide into Earth’s upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million miles per hour,” according to Space.com — are redirected toward the North and South Poles.
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 now issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the first time since 2005. Given the severity of the storm, space weather experts said an aurora “could be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California.”
Although there is no direct correlation with the constellations, the Northern Lights are caused by solar activity (such as solar flares), with the sun being our largest source of energy on Earth. In astrology, the Sun symbolizes one’s ego, life force and physical identity, fundamentally influencing individual and collective expressions. The intensity of these magnetic storms could have an energetic impact on us, increasing our emotional sensitivity, but there is no guarantee.
Wondering what the cosmos has in store for you this weekend when the Northern Lights will be visible? Read on to find out what to expect depending on your zodiac sign.
