Ok. I was going to earlier but saw the kidding so i left it out.
The galactic equinox is a multi year event. No one knows how long it will take to traverse this plane or where its apex is. I believe we just saw the Mayans best prediction at this apex. our actual the solar system will be in the flux zone of the gravitational pull from our galaxies central black hole. It has been for the several past years and could be for many years to come.
The carrot on the stick in this is there are other objects that may be getting effected by this same central pull that may go through our solar system on there on effected orbits. You can add the Legend of Nibiru here. But scientists have made claims that increased objects such as asteroids and comets are a distinct possibility in this zone. Solar activity can be effected by this as well.
There could me stellar phenomenon in this region (magnetic,gravitary, unkowns) that we will not see by the naked eye. So yeah. Think of it as a Doomsday prophecy that goes on for years. But likely we will only see the sun have some changes, a few objects drifting through the solar system that are not originally from here, and continued weather issues and as we continue to increase our carbon footprint we could leave this what would have just been a few bad storm seasons into a mini ice. or general ice age.
Do you realize that there isn't such a thing as a galactic equinox? And that from the Earth, the Sun appears to rise through the galactic equator (the imaginary circle that we assign to the center of the galaxy) twice a year. From the Sun, the Earth does the same thing, twice a year. The Moon sometimes does it 3 times a year.
The location of our solar system is some several dozen light years ABOVE the physical galactic plane and is still traveling further away from it. Even when it does pass again through the physical plane, there is no increase in gravity due to Sagittarius A*. It's gravitational force on Earth is one million times less than that of the Sun.
