A stunning field symbolism at Morgan’s Hill on April 24: three full Moons until our Sun flares, just as it starts new sunspot cycle 24?

The full meaning of Morgan’s Hill did not become clear until fairly recently, when a unique field symbolism at Peaks Down on May 9, 2009, combined with a detailed picture of our current lunar cycle, suggested that our Sun might flare several months from now on the apogee full Moon of July 7 (see peaksdown or articles). That interpretation was seemingly confirmed by the appearance of a “solar flare-coronal mass ejection” picture at Roundway on May 10 (see roundway2), which followed in turn from a “solar flare” crop picture at Rutland’s Farm on April 23 (see rutlands or articles).  

A lot of solar hyperactivity is being shown in English fields, if nothing is really going to happen! Having studied carefully all of the crop pictures from early May, it now becomes fairly easy to interpret the stunning field symbolism which was used at Morgan’s Hill on April 24. Thus as shown below, a large tree-covered hilltop represents our “Sun”, from which various flares or coronal mass ejections may be emitted: see three red arrows on the right, which mark three “teardrop” shapes in the oilseed rape:  

The crop picture points directly toward that large hill (yellow dashed line), and seems to illustrates three successive cycles of new or full Moon as explained by another drawing on the left. Each “new Moon” in the field has been back-lit by its particular “Sun”, so as to create a half-circle or crescent. Three “full Moons” have been labelled with red numbers as “1, 2 or 3”.  

Now since that crop picture appeared on the new Moon of April 24, it may be referring to three upcoming full Moons on May 9, June 7 or July 7, the last of which was likewise specified at Peaks Down for some kind of solar ejection event.  

Has such a solar storm ever happened before? There were minor solar ejections in 2003 or 2006, but the last really big storm occurred in late August or early September of 1859, at the start of a new sunspot cycle that peaked two years later in 1861:

Presently we have just passed out of old solar cycle 23, and are about to enter new solar cycle 24 which will peak in late 2012. Thus some upcoming solar event in July of 2009, which has seemingly been predicted by these crop pictures, bears approximately the same relation to an upcoming solar maximum in late 2012, as did the great solar storm of 1859 to a subsequent solar maximum in 1861. We can only wait patiently now for more crop pictures, and to learn whether we have interpreted correctly the ones they have shown us so far.
