There are currently 4 planets in retrograde.

Mercury is currently in retrograde, with 18 days left.

Hints while Mercury is in Retrograde: Basically don’t do anything that requires communicating, sealing the deal, travel or otherwise during this cycle. Of course, that may not be acceptable when you call into work! Alternatively, you could take the more rational approach and recognize that if you do notice a lot of things really wonking up, maybe those things could stand being corrected. Focus on ways you can make that happen, but take steps with deliberate caution (but still take those steps!). Mercury retrograde is a great time to do that housekeeping (back up your tech, tidy that garage, donate those old clothes).

Mars is currently in retrograde, with 29 days left.

Hints while Mars is in Retrograde: Don’t reach for the horny goat weed just yet, Mars Retrograde is not going to cosmically kill your libido. It is also, unfortunately, not going to just stall out acts of aggression and war. This is actually one of those retrogrades though, that when it is over, if you have taken those steps and you’re ready to move on, you should. Work on how you handle stress and conflict. Learn how to just let it go. Forgive a transgression. Make this retrograde's goal one of getting closure on something that's been lingering for a while.

Uranus is currently in retrograde, with 90 days left.

Hints while Uranus is in Retrograde: Spazzing out is a pretty common thing during a Uranus retrograde because self expression seems much more important. The thing is, while the standard 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. Don't be contrary just to be contrary. Keep an open mind and remember that being a skeptic doesn't mean rejecting things, it means being open to them but demanding evidence.

Neptune is currently in retrograde, with 44 days left.

Hints while Neptune in in Retrograde: 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 moon is currently in Libra, at 18 degrees, 43' 59", at a velocity of 15.31 degrees per day.

The New moon is currently 29.1 days old. It is 363597.62 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 19:32:14, 16 Oct 2020. The next full moon is at 14:51:29, 31 Oct 2020.

Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected nominal conditions. Total magnetic field strength reached 8 nT late in the period in conjunction with an increase in density. Solar wind speeds were very slow, between ~255-300 km/s. Phi angle was predominantly oriented in the negative sector.

There is a 5% 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.
