Retrograde Report for 18 February, 2024

There are no planets in retrograde!

Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto, those notorious Aquarius squatters, are all in retrograde. It’s like a cosmic episode of 'Friends' where everyone forgets to pay the rent. You might find yourself struggling with communication, love, action, and transformation. Or, you know, you might just have a really bad hair day. #AquariusOverload

Jupiter, the big guy, is over in Taurus bringing on some serious growth vibes. But with the retrograde, it's kind of like trying to grow a plant without water, sunlight, or soil. It's possible, but you're gonna have to get creative. Maybe try playing it some Mozart? #JupiterInTaurus #GrowthSpurt

Saturn's hanging out in Pisces, trying to teach us some lessons. But with it in retrograde, it's like that one substitute teacher who has no control over the classroom. You're technically learning something, but it's probably not on the syllabus. #SaturnInPisces #UnexpectedLessons

Then there's Uranus in Taurus, pushing for change. But retrograde is making this more like trying to change the channel with a potato instead of a remote. Not impossible, just weirdly difficult. #UranusInTaurus #ChangeIsAfoot

And last but not least, Neptune in Pisces is about dreams and intuition. But with the retrograde, it's more like dreaming about being a dragonfly and then waking up trying to figure out what that means for your love life. #NeptuneInPisces #DreamsAndDilemmas

So buckle up, space cadets. It's going to be a wild ride. But remember, it's just the universe playing musical chairs. And hey, if all else fails, you can always blame it on the retrograde! #RetrogradeRiot

The moon is currently in Gemini, at 18 degrees, 40' 09", at a velocity of 12.83 degrees per day.

The First Quarter moon is currently 9 days old. It is 384549.84 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 9:02:45, 10 Mar 2024. The next full moon is at 7:01:37, 25 Mar 2024.

Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels. ACE solar wind data showed a decrease in solar wind speed from approximately 390 km/s to near 315 km/s. Lower densities appeared to be causing suspect density, temperature, and speed data in DSCVR. Total field increased from 3 nT to 8 nT while the Bz component was between +4/-6 nT. Phi angle was mostly positive.

There is a 15% 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.
