Making life decisions according to the sunspot number

When making life decisions, it is worth checking the sunspot trends. By having some life experience I can confirm that the my worst life decisions were made during the spikes in sunspot number:

My worst life decisions and a sunspot number


The picture above shows the dates of my worst life decisions:

  • September 2011
  • November 2013
  • December 2020
Sunspots produce magnetic flares, which reach the Earth, and negatively affect humans.

As you can see, in September 2011 the average sunspot number was above 100, and there was a huge spike in the sunspot number in the second half of 2011. My worst life decision was made in September 2011.

In the second half of the 2013, there was also a huge spike in sunspot number, and the average monthly sunspot number was above 100. My second worst life decision was made in November 2013.

Also we can see a huge spike in the end of 2020 – also one of the worst decisions was made, however, this time the average monthly sunspot number was below 100.

So in general, be extra cautious when there is a huge sudden spike in a sunspot number (above 150) and also the monthly average sunspot number is above 100.

Also beware of sudden 'out of the blue' spikes, like, like the one at the end of 2020 – they might also trigger you into making wrong decisions.
