Mercury next enters retrograde in 2 days.

Uranus is currently in retrograde, with 73 days left.

Neptune is currently in retrograde, with 28 days left.

Solar activity was very low this period with no active sunspots on the visible disk. No new Earth-directed CMEs were detected in available satellite imagery.

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.

There are currently 2 planets in retrograde.

Spazzing out is a pretty common thing during a Uranus retrograde because self expression seems much more important. The thing is, while standard pat advice is to “be yourself”, nobody actually wants that. Sometimes, this is because you’re just a jerk but other times, it’s because they’re not comfortable. Is that really your problem? Well, that’s a question you need to answer, not someone else.

We get one Neptune retrograde a year but it lasts for a little over 5 months. If you have had areas of your life where you’re not being quite as honest with yourself as you should be- you might be getting your cognitive dissonance thumped pretty hard. Lies, no matter how many people tell them, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise: are not the truth. Neptune retrograde is usually a time when the truth comes stomping on in and whether you sit down and look at it or not is entirely up to you.

The solar wind environment reflected mostly nominal conditions through most of the period. Solar wind speed decreased from ~450 km/s to under 400 km/s by periods end. Total field strength values were steady near 5 nT until just after 29/1500 UTC when they began fluctuating between 1-7 nT. Bz remained mostly southward until after 29/1600 UTC when it began fluctuating, turning north to approximately 8 nT by 2100 UTC. Phi began the period in the negative sector, but quickly rotated into the positive sector after 29/0300 UTC. After 29/2030 UTC, phi rotated back to into a negative orientation.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 10% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
