5D Shift Bulletins: Keep Up To Speed

17/02/2026 5D Shift Bulletin

There's another spectacular eruption at the Kilauea volcano. They just keep getting more powerful...

A shocking split is underway in the North Polar Vortex of our planet, indicating massive climate change is now underway in the Shift.

This is from The Watchers:

A strong sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event began developing in early February 2026, producing rapid temperature increases and decelerating the zonal-mean westerly winds in the mid-to-upper stratosphere.

Temperature anomalies of around +40°C (+104°F) have been analyzed near 10 mb (≈ 30 km / 18.6 miles) altitude over several days, meeting the established criteria for a major warming event once full wind reversal is confirmed by monitoring agencies.

Following this warming, the polar vortex has weakened substantially and become elongated and asymmetric, indicating strong wave–mean-flow interaction. Ensemble guidance shows the disrupted vortex evolving toward a split structure by mid-February.

According to analysis by Andrej Flis of Severe Weather Europe, ensemble forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) indicate that the polar vortex will likely split into two lobes around mid-February 2026, with one displaced toward Eurasia and the other toward North America.

Model forecasts valid around 00:00 UTC on February 15 show two distinct lobes: one displaced over northern Eurasia and the other extending toward northeastern Canada and Greenland.

We can only wait to see what this phenomenal development will mean - it could mean warmer weather to the northern hemisphere. It remains to be seen.

More from The Watcher's Article

Back in 1859, Earth was blasted by a massive solar emission, now called "The Carrington Event". The result was absolute electromagnetic chaos...

Auroras were seen as far south as the Caribbean and Hawaii—people thought the sky was on fire.
Telegraph operators reported being electrically shocked as their telegraph papers caught fire.
Messages sent without batteries, powered purely by electromagnetic currents
Compass needles went wild.

That was, of course, decades before the electrification of modern society. If such a Carrington-level event were to happen now, it would knock out power grids, disable satellites and GPS, disrupt the internet, aviation, and banking. It would likely curtail the cooling systems on the 400 or so nuclear power stations around the world.

As we carry on 'life as normal' right now, we would do well to consider, it's not if a Carrington-level event is coming, but when.

I am given to share from Benevolence, and actually incarnated with the essential message: We are sailing into an unprecedented convergence of Galactic, Solar, and Earth Pole Shift cycles that is unprecedented in Earth's history. We are sailing into the perfect storm.

It's what the Ascended Masters call the Grand Galactic Convergence...

Here's Stefan Burns referring to the Carrington Event, and why we're moving into that kind of storm right now...

24/01/2026 3i/Atlas goes pink

The story just keeps getting better with 3i/Atlas, just when you might have thought it was all over.

Right now, 3i/Atlas is hurtling toward Jupiter, its last rendezvous before leaving our solar system. In fact, at some point, there'll be an alignment of Earth, 3i/Atlas and Jupiter.

Beautifully the colour of the heavenly body has now changed to pink. Immediately I know exactly what is being reflected: It's the colour of Quan Yin - she's making her appearance known as 3i/Atlas leaves.

Here's the scientific cosmology from Stefan Burns...

We're on volcano watch here at Openhand. Last night in the dreamtime, I felt like I was sleeping on top of a volcano, engulfed in magma!

It's clear, strong emissions from the Sun in recent days will likely cause eruptions to happen - together with the storms and earthquakes too. It's par for the course right now in the Shift.

No fear! (and if there is, then let's work it through - we are NOT human!!)

23/01/2026 5D Shift Bulletin: Massive Solar Infusions

We've got massive solar emissions of solar plasma directed our way. That in turn is pushing the North Pole vortex futher south and sending the Jetsreams into turmoil. There's likely to be some major earthquake activity too.

It's high time we, as ascending people, normalise with these situations, because they will be on the increase going forward. But, it's utterly essential to equalise with them, not to retract in fear and close down. Because these mighty energies can uplift and invigorate you.

Here's what's going on in Kamchatka in Eastern Russia right now...

Do read my article today about this essential subject, because it's vital we come to terms with it...

20/01/2026 5D Shift Bulletin

We have a massive solar storm striking the Earth right now, one of the largest for decades. It's almost certainly why we've got extreme weather patterns happening, like in North America and especially Florida and Texas - the polar vortexes are being pushed ever further southward.

It's essential we pay attention to the real story that's unfolding on our planet - which is through the field and the Grand Shift itself. Because this is driving everything right now, including how the Shadow reacts on the surface 3D of society.

It's these energies that we must be tuning into, to make sense of, and to integrate with, so that they activate our evolutionary Ascension; that is the future of the next evolution of mankind, into 5D/6D/7D.

Here's the latest from Stefan Burns...

This is exactly the kind of ground we cover at Openhand's monthly Ascension Exchanges - and especially, how to mediate through them, and gain maximum advantage of them. The next is coming right up on February 7th...

19/01/2025 5D Shift Bulletin: Planetary Alignment

It's been forecast for many months - a key planetary alignment on January 19th, today. And, it's building to be a spectacular event, with quite massive energies already flowing. You've got Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto in alignment on one side of the Sun, and then the Earth moving into alignment with Jupiter on the other side. Plus, a tremendous coronal hole is pointing our way, that's undergoing strong emissions, and I do believe 3i/Atlas moves through the intersection of the Earth and Jupiter.

I'm feeling two distinct effects right now: 1) There's some kind of masking, denergising attempt by Intervention. Definitely the latest shenanigens over Greenland are intentionally timed to take people into lockdown, distraction and fear; 2) There's a powerful opening due to the alignment with Jupiter - the most powerful energetic centre our solar system.

It's essential, therefore, to stay tuned to the real news, by tuning deep within, spending plenty of time in meditation and drawing on that tremendous evolutionary power of Jupiter.

Beware the dramas too. Stefan here is doing a great job of illumination, but to my mind, getting pretty carried away by it all too! These are times for cool minds, steady hearts, and deep anchoring. Nevertheless - great insights Stefan...

Be well aware of all the distraction going on, and hyping up the drama. It's all a part of the alien harvest that's in full swing right now. Check out the latest Openhand podcast on that - the most important to date...

5D Shift Bulletin: 9 Planetary Conjunctions 6th-11th Jan

As if all the histrionics and dynamics unfolding on the surface of our planet in the Simulation weren't enough, we are in a window of 9 planetary conjunctions. I dare say the histrionics are DUE to the conjunctions.

What's especially drawing my attention is Earth's alignment with Jupiter - the energetic power center of our solar system. And soon, 3i/Atlas will come into that alignment too.

I get the strong sense we'll see a pivotal seismic convergence happening - another strong Shift activation, probably indicated by tectonic plate movements.

Here's an overview of those alignments underway right now...

01/01/2026 5D Shift Bulletin: Solar Boom into 2026

The Shift was never going to disappoint, especially now, as everything accelerates toward the culminating Solar Micronova Event (some way down the line). The Sun is going into hyperdrive of activity, which is hugely activational of consciousness - providing we turn into it and work with it, that is.

Here's the insightful overview by Stefan Burns...

30/12/2026 5D Shift Bulletin: Throat Chakra Active

I'm currently leading the Openhand New Year Quantum Shift Retreat. One aspect of which, is to tune into the field, intuit what is going on in the bigger picture, then see how it's impacting people's individual lives.

Personally, I've been tuning in with Avalonia, the new planetary soul (since the beginning of 2025) all through the festive season. What I've been feeling in response, is a strong activation of the planetary throat chakra. In my knowing, this equates to the region of the Aegean Sea in the Mediterranean. The spiritual mainsteam opinion is that the throat chakra equates to the Giza pyramids - but these are not natural, and they've been applied to lock the planetary energies in place. So in my opinion, they 'skew' the throat chakra energies there.

However, it now appears that the whole of the Aegean, and the Mediterranean are waking up, with a mega volcano that lies beneath it all. In the last few days, Mount Etna has erupted yet again. Here below is Stefan Burns, detailing the mega volcano situation in the Mediterranean. Then afterwards, I've included the Openhand video from the Aegean, on how to embrace the global pheneomenon of the volvanoes within the Shift - how to work with the energies to inspire your own spiritual evolution.

Here's the latest from Stefan...

And here's the Openhand video on working with volcanoes to accelerate your spiritual evolution...

29/12/2025 5D Shift Bulletin

Right now the Sun is pumping our solar plasma into the solar system in a big way, as we prepare to turn the page on 2026. That's bound to increase the pressure in the tectonic plates, AND, most importantly, within the consciousness construct of our own lives.

We must be courageous and committed, to apply the meditations to break down the old energetic constructs of our lives - within us. Then we'll be able to infuse these momentous energies in a productive way going forwards into 2026.

1/12/2025 5D Shift Bulletin: Solar Storms Inbound

We've got strong solar storms inbound and activating Earth's atmosphere - a great opportunity to watch the auroras in the Northern Hemisphere.

There could also be strong earthquake and volcanic action to watch for.

Here's Stefan Burns in the latest update...

5D Shift Bulletin: 3i/Atlas - the adventure continues

The trajectories and dynamics of 3i/Atlas (and R2-Swan) get curiorser by the day. And if you thought the adventure was now all over - think again!

What we have right now, is both 3i/Atlas and R2-Swan on opposite sides of the Earth; and, with hot plasma jets streaming to the Sun. The latter is almost certainly due to their electromagnetic coupling with the Sun. And as they dance together in 'tango' around the Earth, I get the sense that this is, yet again, orchestrated by Benevolence, so as to continue to free up the electromagnetic field here. Thereby, to continue to activate the Flower of Life Torus.

I would say that's exactly why we're seeing strong volcanic eruptions, like in the Cradle of Humanity and Kilauea on Hawaii. I find it all hugely inspiring - a progressive 'spanner' in the works of the Intervention. Let's definitely seize the opportunity to open our consciousness in meditation - applying something like the Openhand Bow.

Here's the latest about that new unusual formation of 3i/Atlas and R2-Swan...

The Cradle of Humanity, in the East African Rift Valley, has just erupted (following eruptions further south earlier in 2025). To me, it speaks into strong changes happening in the solar plexus area of the planetary field - a breakdown in the bundle of old soul contracts as we go through the Inflexion Point of the Shift, whereby the old construct is now progressively breaking.

Here's what's going on from Stefan Burns. It's, for sure, another powerful marker in the Shift...

5D Shift Bulletin: 11:11

We have another 11:11 calling code happening today. In the Openhand Philosophy, all spurious timeline bubbles and all personal constructs, that are not aligned with the Flow, are being signalled of their imminent demise. Hence the essential importance of getting on with the inner work.

Here's the Openhand view on what the 11:11 synchronicity actually means, and how to work with it...

Wow, 3i/Atlas has now begun the erupt plasma jets (see below). This is clearly a new phase and dynamic. I've just arrived in Australia at the retreat centre ahead of the Golden Age retreat here - we're sure to be tuning in to get a sense of what this new phase might be. See what you feel...

23/10/2025 5D Shift Bulletin

Just as Openhand predicted from the beginning, as 3i/Atlas begins to approach the Sun, it's having a massive impact on the electromagnetic field of the Sun. This was bound to cause huge releases of solar plasma energy. Which in turn, will impact Earth's weather patterns, earthquakes and volcanoes - there's just been a large earthquake in Costa Rica, for example.

We cannot simply ignore these massive transformations and convergences going on right now. 3i/Atlas signals the beginning of a new chapter for Earth - the beginning of the end for the Old Paradigm.

The only question is: Are you ready?

Here's Stefan Burns with the latest cosmology...

The life you're seeking is seeking you.
But it's the life you're really seeking...what is that?

It's the one that reveals who you really are - the glorious reflection of you in the mirror.
It's celebrating the constant miracle of life, that delivers the perfect synchronicity with the perfect timing. How do you put a price on that?

Watch these small miracles each day. Be enlivened and uplfited by them.
For this is the fuel, the alchemy, of great transformation and change - of progress.

Your life now has meaning and purpose.
The light in you shines increasingly strongly.
Now watch it light a fulfilling pathway before you. 🙏

Here's another supervolcano gearing up for eruption, off the coast of Oregon. For anyone whose especially new to Openhand, and to remind others, why is it so important to pay attention to these monumental events happening all around us?

Society is a gross simulation of reality, that's purposefully sucking souls in and limiting them by the daily grind - soft comforted by the 3-second dopamine feed of social media. What does this do?

It's designed to keep you in the limitation of being merely 'human'.

You are so much more! You are a cosmic divine being, interrelated multidimensionally with the Universe - or at least you can be.

The 11:11 awakening code, the synchronicity that people are still seeing everywhere, is a wake up call. It's telling you that all spurious timeline bubbles where people have become disconnected from the flow are collapsing back into 1:

You, your soul, with that of the Earth, interrelated with the Solar System, moving through the Galactic Current Sheet. What enormous power you can download and integrate.

The shadow doesn't want you making this critical realignment. Why? Because you then become uncontrollable!

Sure, you might have some fear come up when you come to realise just how precarious the 3D world now is in relation to the Shift. But that's okay, we need to develop a different relationship with fear. Fear prepares you to step into the unknown. And a crucial aspect of alchemical evolutionary growth is to get more comfortable with the unknown.

It softens your consciousness, it frees you up. Now your soul expands, like some genie, from a dusty old bottle.

Progressively, you reclaim your multidimensional self. It empowers you in unimaginable ways. Now you're ready to align with the shift, be motivated by it, and to transform in it.

With that in mind, here's the insight of the latest mega volcano discovery, that's on the verge of eruption, if it does, when it does, would likely impact much of the USA...

5D Shift Bulletin: Pole Shift Update

Here's an update from SpaceWeatherNews about the accelerating Earth Pole Shift. It's essential to be informed, because this is sure to be another of those macrocosmic impacts on our bodily fields, how we feel, and any anxiety or worry it might be activating unconsciously.

When we equalise with these monumental processes unfolding around us - the real news - then we become as-one with them. Progressively, we grow enormously as beings. The construct can no longer hold us. That's the power of overcoming your fears. You become the cosmic divine being.

It's why on the Openhand courses, we're always helping people process out these unconscious fears and anxieties that limit. Now's the time to seize the day...

04/10/2025 Shift Bulletin: Supervolcano rumbling in Naples

It will take just one of the planetary supervolcanoes to go off, and life on our planet will change irrevocably - due to the ash fired up into the atmosphere and the impact on global supply chains. Yet still, few are really paying attention. "So what can we do, you might well ask?"

The point is, that when we keep aligning ourselves with the full magnitude of what's unfolding in the field, yes, fear does come up. But, fear is ALWAYS doorway through which to pass - it shows where you're still identifying with the small you - the identity layers. Such massive transformations become motivational inspiratons for your soul, your journey, and for your consciousness expansion. Why continue to play things small?

Campi Flegrei in Naples is an activating planetary Supervolcano, which I visited earlier this year in May (see the video link at the bottom). It's been bubbling away for many months with the authorities there trying any which way to put a lid on it - no suprises, over 1 million people actually live IN the crater!! And up to six million live in its immediate vicinity. When I visited, it was clear: everyone is trying to pretend 'business as usual'.

It's a cognitive dissonance of the Simulation.
And, sadly, it's what's preventing many
from aligning with the Shift who really could.

It's why it feels essential to Openhand to continue to draw attention to these mighty occurrences in our field, so as to prepare people for the great, tumultuous, evolutionary transmutation to come.

With that in mind, check this video from Silki, where the asphalt escape road the authorities recently built is now melting and bubbling as magma rises beneath it. When will they instigate some kind of evacuation?

5D Shift Bulletin: 3i/Atlas effects

Just as Openhand predicted, as 3i/Atlas hurtles through our solar system and moves on its trajectory behind the Sun, it would have a marked effect on the Sun's electromagnetic field. Which, in turn, would impact the electromagnetic dynamics with the Earth and Moon. We're now witnessing that with strong geomagnetic storms and weather patterns.

To be clear, this also represents a strong evolutionary possibility - a 'kick-start' to the Flower of Life blueprint in the quantum field. Here's the latest from Stefan Burns...

26/09/2025 5D Shift Bulletin: Sagittarius Star

A star in Sagittarius, between us and the galactic core, has just burst into a Nova event. Why could this be so important for us to take note?

Here's the background info from astrophysicist Stefan Burns

It's in a direct line between us and the galactic core. What will likely have catalysed it, is the star system moving into the galactic current sheet, or, a galactic superwave entering the constellation from the galactic core. It's what, I believe, the 1st Nations elders meant by "The Blue Star Kachina".

Here's the Openhand view on the galactic superwave...

This ties in perfectly with the journey we're having in the Sedona Stargate right now:

19/09/2025 5D Shift Bulletin: CMEs

We're seeing more strong Earthquakes destablising the Earth's crust as the Sun unleashes another barrage of Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) activity. There's a direct correlation between the two. The Solar logos is working in concert with Avalonia to open the field up and accelerate the Earth's vibration in the Shift.

These are powerful transformational forces at play, which are bound to be influencing everyone's energetic fields. We must keep doing the inner integrational work - it will fuel our personal shifts into the Golden Realm of 5D/6D/7D, providing that is, we seize the opportunity and make hay whilst the Sun shines!

Here is Stefan Burns eloquently describing what's going on...

5D Shift Bulletin: Massive Tectonic Cracks Atlantic

Right now, there are massive tectonic cracks opening in the Atlantic. It's highly symptomatic of crucial developments in the Shift:

- The Torus of the planet is accelerating with the new energies
- The Earth's magnetic field continues to shift and dwindle
- The Sun is pouring in solar plasma energy
- The Solar system moves inexorably into the galactic current sheet
- 3i/Atlas is likely already impacting the solar system - which has knock-on effects.

We cannot sleepwalk with these humungous planetary and cosmic processes underway. Everything is changing by the day. And hence meditation and self-actualisation become crucial - they must be how we determine our daily consciousness, integration, and approach to life.

A split in human consciousness is underway. With countless being suckered into the 4D Simulation, that ignores, denies, and suppresses what's happening around us. Make sure you're one to be informed by the soul, and how it's tuning in with this Grand Galactic Convergence underway.

Then this cracking down of the construct will not be fearful, but ecstatically liberational!

11/09/2025 Shift Bulletin: Solar Changes

The Sun is going through quite massive changes right now, that will effect the whole solar system, and our soul awakenings. First, the Sun is in a Sunspot maximum, but also as the magnetic field of the Sun diminished in the Grand Solar Minimum - it means more solar energy and plasma escape the surface of the Sun; and more cosmic energy can strike the Earth.

This is going to have an agitating, accelerating effect on the Soul - which is most probably the reason we're seeing civil unrest around the planet (like in Nepal recently). It's essential, therefore, to full integrate the soul as the inner density gets agitated. Then instead of being the victim of these huge processes, you can become the master of them and gain massively.

I've talked about that here, in this article today:

Awakening the Soul: Transforming Life through
Simple, Profound Changes

Here below is an update on these strong solar activities from Stefan Burns (I've no idea though, why he keeps calling it "Solar Maximum"?! The Sun's magentic field is strongly diminishing - but yes, there is a Sunspot maximum we're in)...

What are you experiencing? Do share, I'll happily offer a reflection.

03/09/2025 Shift Bulletin: Kilauea eruption

We've just experienced a G2 geomagnetic storm impact the Earth, which was bound to trigger earthquakes and volcanoes. Here we have it, Kilauea on Hawaii has just erupted with spectacular footage.

If you're new to Openhand, these global activations are a crucial aspect of the Shift and essential to pay attention to so as to integrate the internal effects. I've shared the significance of the volcanoes in the recent Openhand video below.

02/09/2025 Solar Storms and Earthquakes

Yet again, Earth has received strong solar blasts in the last 24 hrs. We are now in a sunspot maximum cycle, but coupled with a Grand Solar Minimum, where the magnetic field of the Sun diminishes - it means ever more solar energy and plasma can escape the surface and out into the solar system.

Be aware, this is going to be impacting your consciousness, stirring up density, but also revealing buried fragments of soul gold to integrate. These are key times to spend in meditation.

Of course, what this also triggers are the planetary volcanoes and earthquakes. See what's been happening just this last couple of days:

Campi Flegrei caldera hit by M4.0 quake in new seismic swarm, Italy
Earthquake swarm at Teide volcano, Tenerife, Canary Islands
Strong shallow M6.0 earthquake hits Hindu Kush, Afghanistan

These events are now ever on the increase as our planet transforms in the Great Shift. It's what we must prepare for on a daily basis now, so that our consciousness can be progressively transformed into the Golden Realm of 5D/6D/7D.
