Many people of a sensitive nature often feel that the period around the time of either Equinoxes to be a particularly challenging period. This is also a time when Auroras begin to peak and as auroras are an indication of an interaction between the Earth’s atmosphere and Solar particles it seems that moods and displays of the Northern lights are somehow connected.

Up until now it is was never realised why auroras peaked around the time of the Equinoxes, but now NASA has discovered new evidence that may throw much needed light on the matter. In fact latest finds reveal that due to the orientation of the Earth’s magnetic field at the time of the Equinoxes, there exists a better connection between energy streams from the Sun and the Earth. This leads to attractive displays of auroral lights and also - as is our contention - the heightened period of perception and feeling experienced by many around the time of the Equinoxes.
