Solar activity was low. Only a few low-level C-class flares were observed during the period. Region 3599 (S13E25, Csi/beta-gamma) and new Region 3604 (N08E71, Hax/alpha) were the only regions to exhibit growth. The remaining regions were mostly stable or in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
Solar wind parameters returned to near background levels. Total field strength averaged near 6 nT, Bz saw only minor southward deviations, and solar wind speeds were steady at around 400-450 km/s. The phi angle was in a mostly positive orientation.
There is a 10% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
The waning moon is currently in Capricorn, at 19 degrees, 04' 05", at a velocity of 14.16 degrees per day.

Alright, space cadets, listen up! The moon is currently crashing in Capricorn’s apartment, a good 371,083.781949185km away (but who's counting, right?). And let me tell you, the Capricorn pad is all business. It's like staying at your super-organized, CEO-type aunt's house where coasters are mandatory and there's a separate recycling bin just for paperclips. But don't get too cozy because the Moon, that celestial couch surfer, is packing up its lunar luggage and plotting a course to Aquarius shortly. Yes, within the next 24 hours, expect a shift from Capricorn's disciplined, structured world to the free-spirited, intellectual, and slightly offbeat realm of Aquarius. So, what does this mean for you, my star-crossed compadres? Well, if you've been feeling a bit like a robot executing tasks with ruthless efficiency, rejoice! You're about to get a break. As the moon transitions into Aquarius, it's like getting a hall pass from the universe to think outside the box, embrace your weird, and maybe even start a rebellion against the mundane. Oh and remember, just like on Farscape, no matter how chaotic the cosmos gets, keep your sense of humor. The universe has a funny way of making things work out. So, buckle up, space travelers, we're going interstellar!
Mercury
Mercury is in Pisces
Mercury is prograde at 22 Pis 26' 00", moving at 1.94 degrees per day, and is 196163454km away and approaching.
Mercury Is In Pisces
Well, well, well, stargazers! Hold onto your telescopes because Mercury just pirouetted into Pisces and it's about to get as wild as a supernova at a star party. Now, I know what you're thinking - an astrologer using a dance metaphor? But hey, when the universe throws a cosmic disco, we've all got to shimmy and shake, right? So, here's the lowdown. Mercury - our chatty little planet who's usually as focused as a hawk on a mouse - has decided to take a vacation in Pisces. And let me tell you, Pisces is the Las Vegas of the zodiac. All neon lights, glitter, and "what happens here, stays here" type of energy. What does this mean for us earthlings? Well, our dreams are going to put Steven Spielberg movies to shame with their cinematic brilliance. You might even start seeing solutions to problems in your morning cereal shapes. "Oh look, that cornflake looks like a spreadsheet... Wait a minute, that's how I can balance the budget!" Pisces is the dreamer, the poet, the artist of the zodiac. While Mercury is taking a dip in its cosmic pool, our minds are going to open up like an encyclopedia with infinite pages. Ideas will flow in like high tide, some will be as brilliant as a quasar, others as perplexing as dark matter. Remember folks, Mercury in Pisces is like a science experiment gone wonderfully awry. It might not make sense, but it's certainly going to be fun. So embrace the chaos, let your thoughts swirl like a galaxy, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find your own 'Eureka!' moment amidst the cosmic confusion. Just remember to write it down. Mercury may be the planet of communication, but Pisces is the sign of forgetfulness. Now where did I put my coffee cup?
Venus
Venus is in Aquarius
Venus is prograde at 23 Aqu 00' 35", moving at 1.24 degrees per day, and is 228346176km away and receding.
Venus Is In Aquarius
Greetings, cosmic voyagers! The celestial jukebox is playing your song as Venus, the planet of love and desire, shimmies into Aquarius, the constellation of free-thinking and friendship. Picture Venus donning a pair of thick-rimmed glasses and a lab coat, because this isn't about heart-shaped chocolates or candlelit dinners. No, siree! This is about intellectual stimulation and connecting over shared ideologies. Our usual romantic notions may go through a bit of a teleportation malfunction, morphing from passionate whispers to debates about quantum physics or which Star Trek captain was the best (Picard, obviously). If that sounds colder than Pluto, fear not! Aquarius' laid-back approach to love can be as refreshing as a comet shower on a hot summer's night. For those already in a relationship, it's time to channel your inner Sheldon and Amy from Big Bang Theory. Rekindle your romance by debating string theory or binge-watching documentaries about interstellar travel. Who said romance was dead? It's just taken a detour through the cosmos! For the solo star-gazers out there, it's prime time to find your "weird" match. Perhaps you'll find them at a climate change protest or a Star Wars convention. Remember, the force will be with you, always! While Venus is in Aquarius, our aesthetic sense might beam towards the modern and original. Maybe it's time to trade your worn-out jeans for a pair of anti-gravity pants, or give your home decor an interstellar makeover. And if you've been eyeing that latest piece of tech, now's the time to splurge. After all, who wouldn't want a robot butler? In short, let's embrace this celestial mash-up of love and logic. Let's boldly go where no man, woman, or astrologer has gone before!
Mars
Mars is in Aquarius
Mars is prograde at 16 Aqu 59' 52", moving at 0.78 degrees per day, and is 327552772km away and approaching.
Mars Is In Aquarius
Oh my stars! If you have your geek goggles ready, we are in for a cosmic rollercoaster ride! Mars, the red planet (not to be confused with the Red Planet Cafe, where they serve a mean Martian Mocha) is currently in Aquarius, and it's all about picking up our intellectual lightsabers and fighting for change. To put it in terms even a Wookie would understand, imagine Aquarius as Yoda - wise, a little detached, and not exactly known for his physical prowess. But when you throw Mars into the mix, you've got Yoda wielding a lightsaber like a Jedi master! It's time to champion our ideas and ideals, not with brute force, but with the power of our minds. It's like using the Force, but without the risk of accidentally choking someone during a video conference. What's that? You're still thinking inside the box? Well, with Mars in Aquarius, it's time to not only step outside the box, but to launch it into a galaxy far, far away. Traditional ways of thinking are as outdated as a floppy disk in an era of quantum computing. We need to imagine what we want the future to look like - and I'm not just talking about holographic pizza deliveries (though that does sound pretty rad). Now, don't get your tinfoil hat in a twist, but injustices and societal problems are going to stick out like a sore thumb while Mars is in Aquarius. This sign is the humanitarian of the zodiac, always rooting for the underdog - kind of like Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy. With Mars firing up this sign, we can not only see what needs to change, but how. In essence, we're all capable of being Obi-Wan Kenobis - seeing not just the problems, but the solutions. And why follow someone else's rules when you can create your own? Mars in Aquarius is a rebel, casting aside old ways of doing things faster than you can say "Han shot first". It's about liberating ourselves, growing into our own, and taking a step into the great unknown. So strap in, fellow space cadets, and may the Mars be with you!

Neo's Guide to Jupiter in Taurus, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bull
Okay, so imagine Jupiter - the big boss of wisdom, the galactic guru, the cosmic Dumbledore - has just landed in Taurus, zodiac’s most chill-out, Netflix-and-chill sign. Now, this may sound like the ultimate odd couple scenario, but stick with me here. When these two forces collide, it’s less 'Men in Black' and more 'The Matrix'. It’s a reminder that, just like Neo, we all have the answers inside us. They’re not hiding in some server farm in Silicon Valley; they’re in the personal hard drive of your brain, just waiting to be accessed.
With Jupiter doing a cosmic conga line through Taurus, it’s prime time to put those long-term dreams into action. Think of Jupiter as your motivational coach, egging you on to grow, and Taurus as the steady tortoise who always beats the hare. It’s like having your own personal Yoda telling you, "Trust the process, you must."
And let's talk about prosperity. You know how in Monopoly when you land on 'Free Parking' and suddenly you're swimming in fake money? That's Jupiter in Taurus for you. Jupiter is the luck generator, and Taurus is the Mr. Moneybags of the zodiac. So, expect some serious cosmic coinage coming your way. Don't forget to check under the cosmic couch cushions!
But hey, remember, Taurus is also a bit of a hedonist. It’s the zodiac equivalent of that friend who convinces you to order another round of nachos when you’re already stuffed. So, when Jupiter, the master of more, meets our indulgent Taurus, well, let's just say it's like having a Costco membership and no self-control. Be mindful of your impulses, or you might find yourself lost in a labyrinth of bulk-buy toilet paper.
So there you have it! Your cosmic guide to Jupiter in Taurus, served with a side of nerdy humor and a sprinkle of sage wisdom. Remember, the power is within you, just like Neo. Choose the red pill, embrace the journey, and trust in the cosmic process. And remember, there is no spoon... but there might be nachos.

When Saturn's Got a Pisces Party Hat On
Alright, listen up cosmic cadets. Our big ol' ringed buddy, Saturn, is currently vacationing in the starry seas of Pisces and boy, does he have some tales to tell! He's a whopping 1.6 billion kilometers away, but don't worry, his wifi signal is strong enough for us to connect. And just to add some more sci-fi flavor, he's going prograde - that’s astronomer lingo for moving in the same direction as us Earthlings.
Now, when Saturn's doing the backstroke in the Piscean pool, it's like our own personal life coach with a dash of dreamy vibes. Think of him as Yoda with a surfboard. Time to dust off those daydreams you've been hoarding in your mental attic. Want to write a Harry Potter spin-off? Dream of starting a vegan shoe company? Well, Saturn says, "Do or do not, there is no try. But also, make a solid plan."
Be warned though, Saturn's got a bit of a nosy nature. He's like that one uncle who insists on cleaning your room and ends up finding your secret stash of comic books. If he catches you off guard, you might feel as though your personal space has been invaded by a planetary patriarch. Don't get defensive, instead, channel your inner Spock - be logical and heed his wisdom. It's probably more valuable than your mint-condition Star Trek memorabilia.
Pisces being the celestial equivalent of a dreamy dorm room, things might get a little restless under Saturn's watch. You might be more anxious than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. So, how about some good ol' fashioned chillaxation? Meditate, take a moonlit walk, breathe like you're competing in the Olympics of Calmness, or even catch some Z’s with a dream journal on standby. You know what they say - "An early bed time keeps Saturn’s wisdom in your mind."
So, cosmic comrades, during this transit, tap into your inner nerd, embrace the ethereal energies and let Saturn in Pisces guide your starship to new frontiers.
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 44' 22", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2995615280km away and receding.
Uranus Is In Taurus
Well, buckle up my celestial friends, because Uranus is hanging out in Taurus, and this is like inviting a mad scientist to a tea party. Picture this: A tranquility-loving bull, minding its own business, grazing in the meadow of predictability and then – BOOM! In comes Uranus, the cosmic disruptor, doing cartwheels and blowing raspberries at tradition! Now, Taurus, bless its earthy heart, is a creature of habit. It likes to schedule spontaneity and would rather watch Netflix on a rocking chair than go on a daring adventure. But Uranus? It's the universe's version of that friend who drags you to karaoke and gets you to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" even though you'd rather chew glass. So what does this mean for you? Well, picture your financial world as a classic game of Monopoly. You've got your little dog or thimble, you're moving around the board, collecting $200 every time you pass “Go.” But now, Uranus is shaking the board, throwing hotels and houses in the air. The good news? This could lead to some innovative ways of handling your moolah. Bitcoin, anyone? In the midst of this celestial shakedown, you might find yourself questioning your relationship with money. Is it a secure blanket or a ball and chain? Is your collection of vintage Star Trek figurines an investment or a hoarding issue? Don't panic! Uranus is not here to ruin your life, but to liberate you. Sure, change can be scary. But remember when Pluto got demoted from being a planet and we all freaked out? We survived that. So, trust in the universe. Embrace the chaos. And next time you pass “Go,” maybe invest in a cosmic insurance. Because with Uranus in town, you never know what's going to happen next!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune Is In Pisces
Greetings, cosmos travellers! We've got a cosmic update for you that's hotter than a supernova and cooler than Pluto (the planet, not the cartoon dog - though he's pretty chill too). Neptune has parked its celestial self in Pisces and it's a bigger deal than finding out that black holes are just gigantic cosmic vacuum cleaners. First off, let's talk distance. Neptune is currently a whopping 4618969566.161007881km away. That’s like walking to your fridge for a midnight snack but in reality, you're taking a detour via Mars. You probably thought you were just getting a yogurt, but nope, congratulations, you're an astronaut now! Neptune's doing the prograde boogie right now, meaning it's moving in the same direction as other planets. It's like that guy at parties who always insists on doing the Macarena, even when everyone else has moved onto Gangnam Style. Neptune, you rebel, you. Now, what's the tea with Neptune in Pisces? Well, it's kind of like wearing 3D glasses in a 2D world. Suddenly, everything pops. You're seeing depth where there was flatness. You're understanding that your grumpy neighbor isn't just a cranky old man, but a complex human being who loves bird watching and has a soft spot for stray cats. This Neptune-Pisces combo meal is dishing up a hefty serving of unity vibes. It's whispering in your ear, "Hey, why sweat the small stuff? Why not focus on what brings us together?" It’s the celestial equivalent of a group hug. So, what can we do during this time? Well, it's like being handed a golden ticket to Wonka’s chocolate factory, but instead of confectionery delights, it's all about spiritual exploration and emotional intelligence. Ever felt the urge to take up yoga? Join a meditation group? Now's the time, my cosmic compadres! So, buckle up, star gazers. With Neptune in Pisces, it's time to deep dive into the spiritual ocean, find your unique pearl of wisdom and, like a cosmic relay race, pass it on to the rest of humanity. And remember, no matter how far you journey, I’ve got your astrological back.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius

Pluto Is In Aquarius
Greetings, stargazers and celestial enthusiasts! It's time to don your metaphorical space suits and get ready for the astrological equivalent of a sci-fi plot twist. Remember Pluto? That tiny planet that got demoted to a dwarf, then reinstated again, only to be kicked out of the planetary club once more? Yeah, that one. Well, it’s currently hanging out in Aquarius, and let me tell you, it's about as exciting as finding an alien life form on Mars... or discovering that your microwave can actually cook something evenly. First things first, let's break this down. Pluto is that edgy planet that deals with serious transformations. And when I say serious, I'm not talking about changing your hair color or switching from Star Wars to Star Trek. No, Pluto is all about shaking up your very soul, like suddenly realizing that dark matter isn't just a shade of eyeshadow. On the other side, we have Aquarius, the sign of progress. Now, Aquarius is a bit like that cool, eccentric uncle who shows up at holiday gatherings with wild tales and futuristic gadgets. Combine that with Pluto's penchant for deep transformation, and we're looking at some monumental shifts. Imagine if, instead of fighting over the TV remote, your family decided to build a spaceship. That’s where we’re heading! What does this mean for us earthlings? Well, expect global changes in science, technology, and space travel. Maybe time travel will become a thing, or we'll finally figure out teleportation. Or, at the very least, we’ll invent a toaster that doesn’t burn everything. But it's not all about gizmos and gadgets. There's a soft, squishy center to this cosmic Oreo. Expect profound shifts in civil rights and humanitarianism. The bigwigs of the world might finally understand that cooperation is cooler than competition. And we might all start caring more about each other than our Instagram followers. So, my dear stargazers, Pluto in Aquarius is a call to action. It's high time we thought about what's best for everyone and not just our own Netflix queues. Will you pick up the cosmic receiver and answer the call? Or will you let it go to voicemail and continue your marathon of The Office for the 17th time? The stars are watching, and they're hoping for less Dwight Schrute and more Jean-Luc Picard. Peace out!Current Planetary Aspects

There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony between you and women, the public, family members, and children.

Mars
Mars Square Uranus
Take time out to slow down and stay in control of yourself. You may feel out of control today. You may feel restraint even if none is there. Don't let your impulsiveness and your impatience get the better of you. Accidents are possible around machinery, your car, or around electricity. Be careful and stay alert. Carelessness is your biggest enemy today. This is a time for high anxiety and lots of nervous energy. Get some exercise. Avoid excess stress. Put your energy into something creative, self-expressive and inventive.You prefer to stand out in a crowd than to follow. Watch for a tendency to be stubborn or dogmatic, which can impede your progress in life and cause unnecessary delays or obstacles. You can be very temperamental, but you tend to get over things quickly. You might often be hasty, impatient, and impulsive.Alternate, short interpretations: Mars square Uranus or Mars opposition Uranus: *Intensely restless, dynamic, and energetic, you are always on the go. When you want something, you want it NOW, and you act decisively, impulsively, sometimes hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you find it difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. You have a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not your strong point! You are often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when you are pursuing a desired goal. You may have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do things in your own style and at your own pace.#Your life is peppered with dangerous intersections where you may be physically injured. These very events, however, form the substance of your spiritual path. It takes courage to follow this independent path, and effort to maintain strong relationships as you do so. Intuition can be a great asset.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Alexander Graham Bell, Catherine Zeta Jones, Patrick Duffy, Johannes Kepler, Madonna, Sissy Spacek Oppositions – Roman Polanski, Regis Philbin, Tyra Banks, Chris Brown, Jackie Gleason, Monica Lewinsky, Arnold Palmer.Jupiter
