Solar Cycle 25 & Geophysical Instability.

Outlook 2022/2023 – Paradoxes

10-28-21 – Solar Cycle Update

For the past ~3 years, INSIIDE Track has described expectations for Solar Cycle-related events in 2020 – 2024.   That began with projections – described in early-2019 – for late-2019/early-2020 to repeat an uncanny ~11-Year Cycle of ‘Global-Shaping Events’ and ‘Stock Panic Cycles’.  That was powerfully fulfilled with the onset of a global pandemic and stock ‘crash’.

Another related expectation dealt with analysis for intensification (in frequency and magnitude) of earthquakes in 2021 – 2022 and volcanoes in 2022 – 2024.

A third expectation, elaborated in recent months, is for a significant solar storm to impact Earth in 2022 – 2023 with the potential to cause damage or disruption to power grids and communication networks, both ground and space-based.

Well, 2021 could be providing another precursor event.  According to spaceweather.com:

10-27 – 21 – SIGNIFICANT X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: There was a global eruption on the sun today. It started with a powerful X1-class solar flare from sunspot AR2887. The blast created a massive tsunami of plasma in the sun’s atmosphere, which rippled across the entire solar disk. A CME is probably heading for Earth, raising the possibility of a geomagnetic storm on Halloween.

While that isn’t expected to materialize into the magnitude of solar storm discussed in recent months, an X-class flare is the highest of the three classifications (C, M & X-Class flares) and could cause some radio blackouts and related auroras.  A similar flare occurred two weeks ago and is reinforcing that the Sun is definitely awakening in its latest up-cycle

To reiterate from last month, 2023 is the greatest synergy of solar-related long-term cycles and includes recurrences of the ~11-year cycle, 17-year cycle (of solar events) and corresponding 34-year cycle of solar events and is directly linked (by these cycles) to massive solar storms in/on:

Oct – Nov 1903 (‘Most significant storm – during a solar minimum period – on record.’).

May 1921 (‘Most intense geomagnetic storm of 20th century’).

Jan 16 – 26, 1938 (Fatima Storm; Massive storm that disrupted all transatlantic radio communication).

Feb. 1956 (Acheron Submarine Storm)

Aug 1972 – Fastest moving CME and most extreme Solar Particle Event in recorded history (‘most hazardous to human spaceflight’ during the Space Age).

Mar 1989 (Quebec Blackout Storm) – Massive storm that disabled the entire Quebec power grid.

Dec 2006 – Major (X-9) Solar flare (strongest in ~30 years) that seriously disrupted satellite-to-ground communications and GPS navigation signals.

It is also ~11 years from the 2012 storm that was allegedly as powerful as the 1859 Carrington Event… but missed Earth by a mere 8 days.  Cyclically speaking, 2023 is the best chance for a major storm.“


Solar Cycle 25 is fulfilling what INSIIDE Track has forecast since the mid-2010’s – that it should be far more powerful than recent Cycles and coincide with seismic shifts (literally and metaphorically) in 2021 – 2025.  Instability is projected to intensify in the equity markets (stock market cycles peak in early-2022 and could trigger a 1 – 2 year decline), in interest rates & inflation (inflation forecast to surge from mid-2020 into 3Q ’22 while interest rates were/are forecast to rise from 3Q ’20 into 2Q ’23), in geopolitical turmoil (War Cycles projected for late-2021 – late-2025), and geophysical instability (earthquake cycles rising/coinciding with volcanic cycles colliding in 2022 – ’24).

This type of instability often coincides with major conflicts so it is no surprise that Middle East/Israel War Cycles collide in 2023 as well.  Alpide Belt earthquakes could coincide, with particular focus on Turkey & Iran.  Reinforcing that, Solar/Sunspot Cycles pinpoint 2023 as the most likely time for a major, disruptive solar storm – cyclically linked to many of the most intense solar storms of the past ~200 years.  (2024 is the second most likely time, with the potential for disruptive solar storms in both years.)
