The Sun

Solar activity remained at low levels with C-class flare activity from a variety of regions. Region 3245 (S23W18, Csi/Beta) began to exhibit signs of decay in its trailing spots and a decrease in overall areal coverage. Despite apparent stabilization, this region produced the two largest flares of the period, a C7/1f flare at 10/0708 UTC and a C4.5/1f flare at 10/1006 UTC respectively. Region 3242 (N10W44, Cso/Beta) also showed signs of decay as it began its approach to the western limb, yet presented a C3.9 flare at 10/1006 UTC.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters reflected lingering weak enhancements, likely attributed to residual CH HSS and CME effects. Total field averaged near 5 nT for most of the period, with a brief increase to near 10 nT around 10/0600 UTC. Bz fluctuated between +/-7 nT and wind speeds settled to near 400 km/s for most of the period. Phi fluctuated briefly between sectors but was in a predominantly negative sector.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waning moon is currently in Scorpio, at 03 degrees, 24' 36", at a velocity of 12.83 degrees per day.

The Waning Gibbous moon is currently 18.3 days old. It is 384888.04 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 17:26:44, 21 Mar, 2023. The next full moon is at 4:37:18, 6 Apr, 2023.

Moon In Scorpio

Scorpio's moon reminds you to avoid distractions. Your emotions are likely running pretty strong, so make sure to focus and don't take things too personally. Don't jump to conclusions. That said, those strong emotions might be useful in your love life!

Notice that you're reacting a little more harshly. You're going to be a little more passionate. You're likely to push your limits. Take advantage of this to be more introspective of your feelings and let them guide you.

Attention all citizens of the universe! The Sun has moved into Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac. This is a time to take a breather and recharge those batteries before starting anew. It's like hitting the reset button, baby! During this cosmic journey, tap into your intuition and let your instincts guide you. Dream big, rest easy, and surrender to something greater than yourself.

Pisces is the most compassionate and caring sign, so channel your inner fish and do something kind for someone else. Be poetic, be artsy, be creative! Write or speak something beautiful to someone you love. But don't forget to take care of yourself too, because Pisces can get lost in their own emotions. By the time the Sun leaves Pisces, you'll feel renewed and reconnected with your spiritual self. So sit back, relax, and let the healing begin. RoboCop out.

"Attention all signs of the zodiac! It is I, Darth Vader, here to inform you that Venus is currently in Aries. This means it's time to embrace your inner adventurer and ignite the flames of passion within yourself. Don't be afraid to be a little selfish when it comes to love and relationships. Explore your own needs and desires, and be confident and assertive when meeting new people. For those already in relationships, try something new and exciting together to reignite the fire. As for money, invest in yourself with things that make you feel good and boost your confidence, but don't go overboard! Remember, this is a test phase - taste different flavors before settling on just one. So go after what you desire, and don't settle for anything less. May the force be with you during this exciting time, my fellow stargazers."

Mars

Mars is in Gemini

Mars is prograde at 23 Gem 25' 16", moving at 0.44 degrees per day, and is 186560312 km away and receding.

Well, well, well, my fellow stargazers. It looks like Mars is currently in Gemini, and let me tell you, things are about to get interesting. With Mars in this curious sign, we're all feeling the itch to explore new ideas and start new hobbies. But beware, because our attention spans may be shorter than a replicant's lifespan. The challenge during this transit is to stay focused on one thing or realize that many paths can lead us to our goals. Gemini loves diversity, and Mars in Gemini is all about tasting, not committing. So if Plan A fails, don't sweat it. We've got Plans B, C, and D ready to go. But hold onto your space helmets, folks, because Mars also rules passion and sex. And with Gemini being the sign of the brain, a meeting of the minds is the biggest turn-on during this time. So get ready to stimulate those intellectual erogenous zones and have some fun. Just remember, with Mars in Gemini, we're like butterflies flitting from one interest to another. So try not to leave too many projects unfinished, or you might end up feeling as scattered as a deck of tarot cards after a bad shuffle. Stay curious, my friends, and keep exploring. The universe has endless wonders waiting for us.

Brace yourselves, because this transit is going to ignite your mind with some serious innovation and intuition. It's time to let go of the past and step fearlessly into the future like an Aries warrior. But don't waste time strategizing, my dear stargazers. With Jupiter in Aries, it's all about feeling that spark of inspiration and running with it. You might even have to teach yourself a thing or two, because this transit is all about self-learning and taking risks. But here's the catch: we can't get too caught up in our own opinions and viewpoints. We need to stay open to dialogue and expand our minds, not contract them. Remember, we make our own luck during this transit. Embrace your potential as an individual and unlock those big, bright, and happy futures. So go forth, my cosmic friends, and embrace the power of Jupiter in Aries. Let's make some serious magic happen!

Your horoscope for today, punk, is all about Saturn in Pisces. That's right, Saturn's moving into the final sign of the zodiac, ready to shake things up and make your dreams come true. But don't think you can just sit back and relax, because Saturn's not gonna let you off that easy. You need to look inward, my friend. Connect with those daydreams you've been having, and figure out how to turn them into reality. Saturn's gonna coach you like you've never been coached before, so grab a notepad and get ready to take some serious notes. But let me tell you, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Saturn's gonna question those daydreams of yours, and you might feel defensive or intruded upon. But you need to listen up, because his advice is gonna be more helpful than you think. And with all this focus on dreams and sleep, you might feel restless or anxious. So take some time to cultivate inner calm: meditate, take a nap (but keep a dream journal handy!), and get a full night's sleep. Because when you tune into the deep wisdom available during this transit, your path forward becomes crystal clear. So listen up, punk. Saturn's in Pisces, and he means business. But if you're willing to put in the work, you'll reap the rewards.

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 15 Tau 53' 04", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 3022687600 km away and receding.

Well, hello there my lovely Taureans! It's me, your favorite astrologer Captain Jack Harkness, and boy do I have news for you. Buckle up, buttercups, because Uranus is in Taurus, and you know what that means? Big, sudden changes are on the horizon! I know, I know, Taurus loves stability and predictability, but sometimes, change can be good. Uranus is here to shake things up, and while it may not be the most comfortable ride, trust me when I say it's worth it. Now, let's talk money, baby. Taurus, you're known for your financial prowess, but Uranus in Taurus is bringing some major changes to that arena. We could see new forms of currency, banks and banking could change dramatically, and the housing and stock markets might be in for a wild ride. On a personal level, it's time to break free from the chains of debt, taxes, and mortgages. Uranus is here to liberate you from the grip of material possessions and help you change your relationship with money. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the changes you make now will lead to greater stability in the long run. So, my dear Taureans, embrace the chaos and get ready for a wild ride. Uranus in Taurus is here to break down barriers and bring you to a better place. Are you ready for the challenge? I know you are.

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 24 Pis 56' 14", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4622684446 km away and receding.

Greetings, fellow earthlings! It's time to talk about Neptune in Pisces. This planetary alignment is like a cosmic fog machine, stirring up emotions and spirit in a way that can leave us feeling a bit lost. But fear not, my skeptical friends! This transit is actually an opportunity to see through the haze and gain some much-needed clarity. Neptune's influence on Pisces means that we can finally put aside our petty differences and focus on what truly matters: coming together as a collective. This is the perfect time to tap into your emotional intelligence and figure out how you can contribute to the greater good. Maybe it's taking a spiritual course or creating an altar at home. Whatever it is, embrace it! And don't worry, my fellow nerds, this isn't just some hippie-dippie nonsense. Science tells us that Neptune in Pisces can help us see the bigger picture and understand our place in the universe. So go forth and explore your unique offerings, my fellow earthlings. Neptune in Pisces has got your back!

Pluto

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 29 Cap 44' 52", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5287423126 km away and approaching.

Well, well, well, it looks like Pluto is currently in Capricorn. And what does that mean for you, my fellow space travelers? It means that success and power are on the horizon! But watch out, because with great focus comes great intolerance. Don't go dismissing other people's ideas just because you're so darn efficient. Pluto wants you to get rid of those negative patterns, but don't go blowing things up willy-nilly. Be intentional, my friends. Destroy only what needs to be destroyed as you create something new. Happy travels through the cosmos!

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Square Mars

You are full of it today, high energy, force of will, and a dislike of any restraint. Slow down a little so you don't go flying off the handle. Physical, mental, and verbal confrontations are likely today, so stay in control. Don't speed today as the police may be watching you. Don't stay out in the sun too long. Your will is tested today and the universe wants to see if you can keep your head. As they say, "Don't have a cow." Ego conflicts and selfishness are today's problem areas.There is an unmistakable competitiveness and a “me-first” attitude with those who have Sun square or opposition Mars in their natal charts. The fighter persona is most apparent in youth, when the child is described as a “bundle of energy”, or it is remarked that he or she “can’t sit still”. The abundant energy generated by the hard aspects (especially the square) between the Sun and Mars is hard to direct in childhood. Later in life, ideally, those with these aspects have learned to channel some of their excess energy into productive avenues–perhaps through career, sports, or any area where competitiveness is considered an asset. Nevertheless, people with these aspects can meet up with more than their share of conflict, and they can most certainly rub people the wrong way. They are very motivated to get things done, to take action rather than simply talk about something, and to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Those who know them quite well might describe these people as hot-headed and temperamental at times. They are easily frustrated, and they’re given to impulsive actions and assertion of their wills. If the aspect is found in cardinal signs, it gives impulsiveness and a short temper. If the aspect is found in fixed signs, the natives can be very hard-headed and willful. If it’s in mutable signs, it gives a restless and frustrated impatience.Essentially, those with Sun square Mars in their charts have faced conflict and are not particularly afraid of it. They have faced having their need to assert themselves blocked. Their parents may have done as much as they could to “tame” what they felt to be excess energy or aggression. In other words, they know all about conflict and blockages, so that when they are faced with a challenge or a roadblock, they don’t run away from it or hide under the covers feeling sorry for themselves. They meet challenges head-on.Sun opposition Mars people are more confrontational and argumentative than active. In youth, they might feel that they often face anger from others. They might see the Mars energy as coming from the outside. If and when they face the fact that the aggression is actually a part of their own personalities, they are more equipped to direct the competitive energy into productive avenues.Some Famous people with Sun square or opposition Mars: Jennifer Aniston (Sun square Mars and Neptune in fixed signs), Bob Dylan, Madonna, Muhammad Ali (square), Anne Heche (opposition), Jim Morrison (opposition).Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.Sun in hard aspect to Mars: In this life you are learning to embody and express the energies of the warrior; courage, action, forcefulness, the ability to fight for what you want and need. However, these positive qualities can quickly degenerate into unnecessary and excessive aggression, discordant relationships, even violence. Your tendency to be impatient and hot headed, and to see everyone as a potential competitor or rival, may draw out the anger and combativeness in other people. Your challenge is to learn to use your overabundant energy in productive, or at least not destructive, action. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.Sun square Mars: Sun/Mars aspects enhance your courage, assertiveness, leadership, independence, and love of power. You seek an exciting career that will allow expression of your natural enthusiasm, energy, entrepreneurial drive, and crusading spirit. When you stand up for your beliefs and values, you inspire others to follow your lead. You like being in charge and would probably feel stifled in a routine job or a subordinate position. You enjoy adventure and competition, and may be interested in Mars-ruled careers like the police, detective work, the military, politics, sports, debating, engineering, construction, haircutting, or any field that uses sharp instruments. If you do not learn to control your impulsivity and restlessness, you may be prone to headaches, nervousness, irritability, angry outbursts, accidents, or problems with the law. The Rambo movie character would have this aspect in his chart. — Interpretation from our Career Report.Sun square Mars: This is a highly emotional and fiery tempered child. The child will probably be very self-assertive not to mention argumentative. So a few lessons in toeing the line will be necessary. Kids with this aspect are often too quick to pick up a challenge even when none was intended. They must learn to calm down and not be quite so hasty. Training this child to take full responsibility from an early age, without attaching guilt, is by far the best approach. Sometimes these kids may not even recognize the effect their nature has on others, so they will be genuinely confused at the reactions an outburst may cause. The poor kid may stir people without even knowing it, by tone of voice, body language, or by not saying anything. But most importantly, put some effort into allowing this child to recognize the sheer potency of this powerful energy. Help him/her to utilize it thoroughly. The child must learn to bow out now and again – it is not always possible to run the show. Being the most dogmatic, vocal, and aggressive does not necessarily make for the best leader.Often there will be a quick temper that flares suddenly. The big lesson is to make this child responsible for any outbursts rather than reacting or maybe turning a blind eye for the sake of peace. There could be a good reason for such anger. Encourage a positive discussion making this a part of the training and guidance needed for a calmer, more in control, child. This aspect makes for some bad drivers. It also produces many good athletes. This is the real difference between using this energy constructively or destructively. — Interpretation for the KidZone report.Sun square Mars: There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you need most is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support is there, you can’t get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where it was you wanted to get to, sort of “all dressed up, but which way to go?” It could be historical, too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father — a struggle between that which seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions — a need to succeed and be all that you can be. — Interpretation from WinStar.Sun square Mars: (The Outraged) It is difficult for you to see a need for concession. You have no patience with another’s input when you are confident you are right. You may work harder than others and your ego demands you receive full credit. If denied or opposed, your fiery reactions may eclipse the rewards you have earned. By learning that compromise is the blending of positive energies, you employ the wisdom of a respected master instead of the mandates of a tyrant welcomed by none. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Conjunct Neptune

You may feel a need to identify with others, to really understand them, and get closer to them sympathetically. At the same time, you may feel a need to escape from the trials of the world and get into a world of your own. Escaping like this is okay as long as it is done in a positive way, say, through meditation. Escaping by means of alcohol or drugs could be dangerous. Even though you may be tempted, do not give in to a desire to avoid all duty and responsibility today. Do not run away. Face things squarely. Be on guard for trickery.

Mercury

Mercury

Mercury Sextile Uranus

Your thinking today is ingenious, original, clever, sharp, and magnetic. Electricity is in your head and probably the rest of your body. You are full of nervous energy, but it is the type that can help you accomplish more. New and exciting opportunities may come about today through travel, conversations with others, or through new reading material. Go exploring.You are open to new ideas, and come up with your own fair share of unique perspectives yourself. You have a technical bent and might take special interest in computers, technology, and science. Your intuition is very strong and mostly leads you in the right direction. You have a friendly, tolerant, and unprejudiced manner. You avoid making unfair judgments, being hypocritical, or stereotyping. You are very truthful and abhor modes of thinking that are biased and narrow. You are resourceful, witty, and quick to grasp and understand new subjects. Your thinking is often quite naturally outside of the box and very quick, and it can be baffling to you when you observe others who don’t get to the same conclusions as you in half the time. Still, you require much space and freedom to do your own thinking, and you don’t take kindly to anyone trying to force-feed you information or opinions. You are at your mental best and most cooperative when you have had the chance to find your own inspiration, and you easily feel hypocritical if you don’t–a feeling that doesn’t sit well with you one bit.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mercury and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Lawrence Welk, John Steinbeck, Donald Sutherland, Erik Satie, Martin Sheen; Trines – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Tracey Ullman, Marilyn Manson

Venus

Venus Sextile Mars

Harmony in social activities is highlighted today. Activities with the opposite sex are enjoyable and rewarding. Romance is in your blood. Show someone you care for them. They will appreciate your sharing your feelings. Clean your house and do that redecorating you had planned. Make your surroundings more beautiful.It is easy for these people to attract attention of the positive kind. They radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm on some level that others appreciate. Not inclined to try to cover up their flaws, these people have a way of presenting themselves in a straightforward manner, and their ability to admit their mistakes and their fumbles only adds to their charm. They find it easy and natural to get along with both sexes quite equally. They possess considerable creative talent, but whether or not they use it is dependent on other factors. They may take their own talents for granted and often need some kind of stimulus or encouragement to do something with them. One of the reasons for this is the fact that their creativity comes so naturally to them that they may be surprised when others recognize their talents. Similarly, they usually possess athletic ability and may need some encouragement to develop it.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Venus and Mars have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report — Actively creating harmony and beauty through your work, art, or with people is part of what you are here to do. You have developed a harmonious coordination between the masculine and feminine energies within yourself; thus, you combine strength with grace, power with elegance, decisiveness and effort with pleasure, passion with tenderness and sensitivity. You have a romantic soul.Some positive expressions of this pattern might include athletic activities that have an aesthetic appeal, such as figure skating, or artistic endeavors that are active, such as performing dance or opera singing.Actively bringing people together in some way, for mutual pleasure and benefits, is also one of your gifts.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Mars: Sextiles – Pamela Anderson, Shannen Doherty, Ian Thorpe, Harry Belafonte, Kirk Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Jane Curtin, Matt Damon, Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford, Erich Fromm, Crispin Glover, Elliott Gould, Amy Jo Johnson, Bob Newhart, Molly Ringwald, Robin Williams; Trines – Melissa Anderson, Jason Bateman, Pierre Cardin, Natalie Cole, John Coltrane, Mick Jagger, Ann Jillian, Billie Jean King, Marilyn Manson, Joe Montana, Bonnie Raitt, Eva Mendes, Britney Spears.

Mars

Mars

Mars Square Neptune

You may feel self-doubt and inadequacy today. You are probably extra sensitive today, so don't take offense where none is meant. If you are taking medication, remember that less is more because of your heightened sensitivity. Watch that people don't take advantage of you with a sob story or some deal that sounds too good to be true. Stay alert to people not telling you the whole story behind something. Take care of your physical self as your immune system might not be as strong today as usual.This is a challenging position, as you have difficulty trusting in your ability to go after things that you want in a direct manner. It may also be that you have difficulty pinpointing what it is that you want, or that part of you doesn’t feel you deserve it due to a basic lack of self-confidence. You fear rejection as well as criticism, and often use roundabout means to go after what you want.Your imagination is so powerful that it can be hard to trust your instincts. You easily imagine things going wrong, just as you easily fantasize about good things! Your desire nature is strong yet also very suggestible. You’re attracted to mysteries and intrigue. Sexual experimentation is likely, as you are forever addicted to sensuality and unusual or perhaps even what many would consider perverted sexual scenarios. However, your sensual appetite might be much like a bottomless pit, and you could find yourself forever in a state of wanting more, tiring of regular sexual scenarios quickly, and endlessly searching for the next sensation. If an addiction to fantasy is present, you can find yourself constantly chasing a new and more complicated fantasy. It is only when you get into touch with your heart and discover your true desires that you realize that sensations are merely sensations–not deeply satisfying or fulfilling.Fears of sexual inadequacy can be great with this position, and you may either deny yourself as a result, or overcompensate, seeking out experiences in which you are pretty much assured positive feedback. Some of you will experience both of these extremes in your lifetime. I have a client with this position who has a “trophy” wife, and she often denies him, and even belittles him, on a sexual level. He accepts this but “gets her back” behind her back, having serial affairs with women who are not considered as attractive for whatever reason and with whom he attempts to reclaim his power.One of the interesting things about this position is that if you are involved in immoral activities, guilt has a way of cropping up in unusual ways, and could lead you on a self-destructive path–and you might even know that you’re heading that way, yet you compulsively follow that path. Part of you might want to get caught! You might, for example, know in your mind that doing something is risky, yet you compulsively do it anyhow, perhaps even finding the challenge invigorating.Although you can be very creative at keeping your motives and personal agenda hidden–in fact, many of you seem on the surface of things to be quite gentle and yielding–you might eventually become resentful if you feel the need to resort to sneakiness in order to get what you want out of life. This is one of the things that has struck me as the most common characteristics of Mars-Neptune people. It’s not that they don’t get angry or show that anger. However, many will give in to another’s desires more often than not, yet become resentful of that person who seems to have control over them. Some will give up their power to a partner, for example, often taking the role as the one who gives in or gives up things in order to make the other happy. However, resentment for this builds, and while people with harmonious Mars-Neptune aspects more easily yield to others without anger for doing so, those with hard Mars-Neptune aspects are more likely to feel stepped upon, and to retaliate in covert ways. If you do feel resentment for giving up your power to someone else, learn to avoid giving it up unless you truly understand that you are doing it for yourself, and not for someone else. Resentments have a way of building and distorting themselves into ugly matter if you don’t deal with them properly and directly. You are often passive-aggressive in your approach to others, and this can cause a lot of problems in your life.You are usually found chasing a dream… or a fantasy. The former is probably the better path.Somehow, others are bound to eventually sense that you are not to be trusted, and this is often for good reason! You may not like to admit this to yourself, as you may have built excuses for your deceptive or sneaky behavior. However, adopting a more direct and assertive approach to life is something that you should be working towards. You will need to get over your feelings of guilt when you do adopt this approach. Learning to take responsibility for your actions, and to avoid blaming others for failures, is important.At your worst, you can be disorganized in your approach to life, easily procrastinating and lacking follow-through when you do begin a task. Some of the most important lessons you need to learn in life are self-control, self-assertion, and trust in yourself. At your best, you are a creative person with a powerful imagination and great stores of compassion.Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. You tend to swing from one extreme to the other–asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy. Passive-aggressiveness can be a problem in your life. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. You tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.You may lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You could suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area. However, this tends to change as you mature. As you overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the capacity for spiritual ecstasy.You may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married or simply hard to reach. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish her to be rather than as she really is. You may find that you lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex, or that the relationship is largely unfulfilling. Disappointments in love may be frequent, although this is also something that improves with age! You are an extremely imaginative lover, and you frequently engage in fanciful and intricate fantasies.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.

Alright, my cosmic companions, listen up! This week is going to be a bit of a mixed bag, so hold onto your hats. With the solar kp index quiet and no changes to retrograde effects, we're in for some smooth sailing. But wait, there's more! The solar wind speed is above average, which means retrograde effects are moderately increased. So, we might feel like we're walking uphill on a treadmill - but fear not, we can handle it. As for the moon, it's waning gibbous and currently in Scorpio at 03 degrees, 24' 36". That's right, Scorpios, you're in your element, so embrace your passionate and intense nature. For the rest of us, this is a time to let go of anything holding us back and focus on transformation. Now, I know you're all dying to know when the next new and full moons are happening, so here it is. The new moon is at 17:26:44, 21 Mar, 2023, and the full moon is at 4:37:18, 6 Apr, 2023. Mark your calendars, folks! Remember, there's nothing we can't handle with a little humor and a lot of science. #astrologyjokes #nerdyhippievibes #retrogradeproblems #moonmagic
