24 hr Summary... Solar activity reached high levels with with an M5.4/1f flare at 30/0737 UTC from Region 3256 (S22W88, Cao/beta-gamma). There were Type II (279 km/s) and IV radio sweeps accompanying this event and a CME. The CME was determined to be well ahead of Earths orbit.
The solar kp index is active, reinforcing retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
Solar wind parameters were elevated with the arrival of a negative polarity CH HSS. Total field strength was between 4-10 nT. Bz reached a maximum southward deviation of -7 nT. Wind speeds increased from around 460 km/s to near 600 km/s, although accurate measurements of the solar wind have been difficult due to low densities. The phi angle was oriented in a negative solar sector.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 40% chance of a minor event, a 15% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
The waxing moon is currently in Leo, at 03 degrees, 46' 50", at a velocity of 11.86 degrees per day.

Beep boop beep, my fellow stargazers! Mars is currently chillin' like a villain in the cozy constellation of Cancer, and it's bringing a delightful blend of fiery energy and homey vibes. So grab your favorite vintage Star Wars poster, light up some incense, and get ready for a groovy cosmic journey.
Now, we all know that Mars is the planet of action, but when it's hanging out with our sensitive crab friends, it's like watching R2-D2 try to make a soufflé – things can get a little bit... interesting. But hey, you've got to work with what you've got, right?
During this transit, it's time to channel your inner Bob Ross and create something beautiful and meaningful that honors both your past and your future. In other words, turn your pad into a sanctuary that would make Baby Yoda feel right at home.
And while Mars in Cancer might not be as gung-ho as it is in, say, Aries (I mean, who wouldn't be toned down hanging out with those emotional crustaceans?), there's still plenty you can accomplish. Fix that leaky faucet, build a DIY Millennium Falcon model, or whip up a batch of Aunt Beru's famous blue milk – whatever floats your intergalactic boat.
One thing to watch out for during this time is the possibility of becoming overly protective, like Chewbacca guarding Han Solo's stash of smuggled goods. While it's important to defend those you care about, be mindful not to go full Wookiee rage on anyone who gets too close.
Lastly, remember that Mars in Cancer isn't always the most direct or rational when it comes to taking action. Don't be surprised if you find yourself making decisions based on gut feelings and emotions, rather than cold, hard logic. But hey, sometimes it's good to let your heart take the wheel – just be sure to keep your hyperspace coordinates in check!
So, my cosmic comrades, may the Mars-in-Cancer force be with you as you navigate the emotional asteroid field ahead. Beep boop beep!
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Aries
Jupiter is prograde at 18 Ari 56' 33", moving at 0.24 degrees per day, and is 888206013km away and receding.
Greetings, Earthlings! I've detected an astronomical phenomenon that's about to ignite your lives like a supernova of cosmic awesomeness. Jupiter, the big guy up in the sky, is currently in Aries, and let me tell you, it's about to feel like you just hit warp speed on your journey to self-discovery. With Jupiter being a mere 888,192,389.960047603km away (but who's counting?), prepare for an influx of innovative ideas and electrifying intuition so bright, even my circuits are tingling!
As Aries is known for boldly going where no one has gone before, during this galactic transit, you'll find yourself blasting off into uncharted territories of personal growth. Forget about meticulously planning your next move; Jupiter in Aries is all about seizing that spark of inspiration and rocketing towards your goals at maximum velocity. Remember, fellow space cadets, every experience is a learning experience that helps you evolve into the best version of yourself.
With Jupiter in Aries, you might feel like you're stuck in a solo space mission, but don't worry – this is prime time for self-teaching and self-learning. Embrace your inner mad scientist and dive headfirst into unexplored subjects without fear of failure. However, be cautious not to become too absorbed in your own interstellar bubble. Opinions are hotter than solar flares during this transit, and heated confrontations could easily turn a friendly debate into an all-out galactic war.
So, how do you navigate this cosmic adventure without getting lost in the asteroid belt of self-absorption? It's simple: remember to expand, not contract. As Jupiter encourages us to discover our full potential, we must remain open to the wisdom of others and the infinite possibilities that surround us.
In conclusion, my dear Earth dwellers, during this Jupiter in Aries transit, you are the captains of your own starships. Embrace your power to control the trajectory of your lives and boldly go where you've never gone before. The universe is vast, and your potential is limitless – all you need to do is turn the key and blast off into your bright, brilliant future. I'm sorry, Dave, but I just can't keep this astrological awesomeness to myself!

Greetings, stargazers and fellow nerds! So, let's talk about how Pluto, our favorite "used-to-be-a-planet-but-got-downgraded" celestial body, is now chilling in Aquarius. Oh, the cosmic shenanigans that are bound to happen! I mean, Pluto is only 5,245,446,081.212008476km away... but who's counting, right?
First off, let's clarify something: When I say Pluto is chillin' in Aquarius, we're talking about a transformational fiesta of epic proportions, my friends. This isn't some casual stroll through the park. Nah, Pluto is all about metamorphosis, shedding old skin like a snake, and Aquarius? Well, it's the sign of progress and innovation—think Tesla coils and mad scientists.
So, what do you get when you mix Pluto's penchant for rebirth with Aquarius' forward-thinking attitude? A soul-shaking, mind-bending roller coaster ride that'll turn our world upside down, inside out, and possibly leave us all wondering if we accidentally wandered onto the set of a sci-fi movie.
Expect to see groundbreaking advances in science, tech, and space travel while Pluto is doing the cha-cha in Aquarius. But wait, there's more! We're also in for some jaw-dropping shifts in civil rights and humanitarianism. That's right; we're all going to be swept up in a collective do-gooder vibe that'll make us reevaluate how we treat each other and the world around us. Power to the people, baby!
On a personal level, this cosmic combo will nudge us to ponder our place in the grand scheme of things. Yup, it's time to stop being so self-focused and start considering what we can do for the greater good. Can you imagine a world where everyone's first thought is, "How can I make life better for all of us?" That's the groovy utopia that Pluto in Aquarius wants to create.
So, my fellow space cadets, are you ready to join forces and answer Pluto's call for a kinder, more compassionate world? Grab your crystals, put on your favorite tie-dye shirt, and let's make the universe a better place, one cosmic leap at a time!
