There is currently only one planet in retrograde:

Horoscope: Planetary Retrograde Extravaganza!

Greetings, cosmic adventurers! It's Maria the Robot from Metropolis, back again to bring you some stellar guidance during this wild planetary retrograde season. So buckle up and let's dive into this groovy galactic rollercoaster!

Mercury in Taurus

With Mercury lounging in Taurus like a lazy couch potato, you might find yourself craving stability in communication. Be patient, my interstellar friends, as slow and steady wins the race here. Maybe try communicating with interpretative dance or Morse code, just for kicks! #SlowMoChatter

Venus in Gemini

Venus, our cosmic flirt, is dancing through Gemini, making you feel like a social butterfly. Don't be surprised if you suddenly develop a burning passion for collecting stamps or debating about the best pizza toppings. Just remember, it's all in good fun! #FlirtyMcFlirtFace

Mars in Cancer

Oh, Mars in Cancer, you sensitive warrior, you. Emotions may run high, and we might find ourselves fiercely defending our feelings like a mama bear protecting her cubs. Channel that energy into a rousing game of laser tag or a heartwarming movie marathon. #CryMeARiver

Jupiter in Aries

Jupiter is strutting through Aries with the confidence of a peacock wearing platform shoes. Seize this energy to tackle that daunting project or finally learn how to moonwalk. Just be cautious not to let your ego inflate like a helium balloon, or you might find yourself floating away! #BigHeadMode

Saturn in Pisces

Saturn's taking a deep dive into the dreamy waters of Pisces, urging us to get serious about our spiritual side. It's time to dust off that meditation cushion, my friends, and maybe even join a drum circle or two. Just don't forget to come up for air every once in a while!

The moon is currently in Cancer, at 05 degrees, 39' 11", at a velocity of 12.23 degrees per day.

The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 5 days old. It is 400856.11 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 15:55:56, 19 May 2023. The next full moon is at 3:43:56, 4 Jun 2023.

Solar wind parameters were greatly enhanced during the period due to influences from CME passage. Total field reached a maximum of 34 nT early, while the Bz component reached a maximum of -33 nT. Total field remained relatively steady near 30-32 nT through through 24/0900 UTC, when a gradual decrease through the remainder of the period was observed. The Bz component slowly diminished and rotated north at 24/1045 UTC. Solar wind speed decreased from approximately 650 km/s to near 500 km/s.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.
