 Namaste, happy New Year and welcome to our Patreon mid-month energy report for January 2023. So here's some good news, everyone. The first Mercury retrograde of the year is over on January 18th. The next three begin on April 21st, August 23rd, and December 13th. Fasten time for the holiday season. Yes, Mercury retrograde during Christmas, the only time it's acceptable to give the gift of communication breakdown, unless that's a song by the band Led Zeppelin from their 1969 self-titled album. Oops, sorry, yeah. So while we're in Mercury retrograde, don't make any significant financial or other decisions. But go past resentments, reconnect with old acquaintances, avoid committing to new contracts or initiating new endeavors. Give yourself more time to get anywhere and do anything, think before speaking, and trust your intuition. So let's take a peek at SpaceWeather.com. That's better. A CME is coming. Minor G1-class geobagnetic storms are possible on January 19th when a CME is expected to graze Earth's magnetic field. The CME was hurled into space on January 14th by a dramatic twisting eruption in the magnetic canopy of Sunspot AR-3182. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when the CME arrives. So while this is a relatively minor CME, it's still bringing in solar energies that can help align with DNA upgrades through photonic energies. Bam! That sun is so hot you could roast a marshmallow or a sock that's supposed to look like a marshmallow.
