The observed magnetic field of the Sun is believed to originate from a "dynamo-effect" in its convective surface layer. However, there is no natural 11-year timescale in such models. We show that this major magnetic solar cycle naturally may arise through magnetic "chaos- control" of the inherently chaotic solar dynamo, mainly due to Jupiter.
