Retrograde Report for 27 August, 2023

There are currently 5 planets in retrograde:

Greetings, fellow space nerds!

Oh boy, oh boy... what a cosmic cocktail we have shaking up in our celestial shaker this month! 🍸🌌

Let's get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we? First up, Mercury is chilling in Virgo. Now, normally, Mercury's like that super efficient office worker who's got all their sticky notes color-coded. But in retrograde, it's more like they've spilled coffee on their entire desk - communication chaos! 📚☕️💼

Venus is lounging in Leo, making us all feel like the star of our own personal telenovela. But remember, too much drama can lead to a real soap opera meltdown! 🎭🦁

Mars, also hanging out in Virgo, is like the personal trainer of the zodiac. He's all about action and getting things done. But in retrograde? It's like trying to run on a treadmill with banana peels for shoes. Slippery and perhaps a bit embarrassing! 🍌🏋️‍♂️

Jupiter's kicking back in Taurus, usually a good sign for growth and prosperity... but in retrograde, it's like winning the lottery and immediately losing the ticket. Maybe check those pockets one more time? 💰🔍

Saturn's hiding out in Pisces, and when he goes retrograde, well, let's just say he's like your overbearing grandfather questioning all your life choices at the family dinner. Brace yourselves, folks! 🧓🐟

Uranus in Taurus might make you want to reinvent everything from your hairstyle to your sock drawer. But be careful, in retrograde, you might end up with a mullet and mismatched socks! 💇‍♀️🧦🐂

Neptune in Pisces is all about dreams and intuition. But when Neptune goes retrograde, your dreams might feel like a Salvador Dali painting. Extra surreal with a side of melting clocks, anyone? 🎨🕰️🐠

Lastly, Pluto in Capricorn usually helps us unearth

The moon is currently in Capricorn, at 10 degrees, 04' 02", at a velocity of 14.43 degrees per day.

The Waxing Gibbous moon is currently 10.4 days old. It is 368805.22 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 1:40:05, 15 Sep 2023. The next full moon is at 9:58:21, 29 Sep 2023.

Nominal solar wind conditions prevailed throughout the period. Solar wind speeds ranged between 350-430 km/s, total field strength values ranged between 6-8 nT, and Bz reached -6 nT. Density values increased after 26/1530 UTC and the phi angle was positive throughout the period. .Forecast... A slightly enhanced solar wind environment is expected early on 27 Aug through 29 Aug due to the influence of multiple negative polarity CH HSSs.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
