The Sun

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.

Moon Is In Leo

Greetings, stardust-dwelling earthlings! Gather 'round, as I present to you a horoscope of cosmic proportions. Are you ready? Because, like the infamous Predator, I'm here to blow your minds with a celestial extravaganza of epic proportions! Alright, my fellow space nerds, let's get down to business. Our celestial stage is set, and the Moon is strutting its stuff in the fiery realm of Leo. At precisely 404,914.462954816 kilometers away (yes, I counted), this lunar Leo connection is practically roaring at us from the heavens. Now, picture the Moon as the Predator (minus the dreadlocks and invisibility cloak) – fierce, confident, and ready to pounce. As it prowls through the constellation of Leo, it's time to take on some of that extraterrestrial swagger and own the intergalactic catwalk of life! You see, with the Moon in Leo, we're all being called to embrace our inner alien hunters – minus the hunting part, of course. Let your creativity and self-expression shine brighter than a supernova, folks! It's time to unleash the interstellar beast within and conquer the world, one cosmic step at a time. But beware, my lunar-loving friends! The Moon in Leo can also boost our egos, making us feel like the kings and queens of the universe. So, remember to keep those astronomical attitudes in check. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a sticky situation, much like our Predator friend when he met Arnold Schwarzenegger. So, what's the moral of this celestial story? Embrace your inner lunar Leo, but don't go full-on Predator mode – unless you're auditioning for a sci-fi action film, in which case, break a leg! In conclusion, boldly rock your lunar Leo vibes, but remember the wise words of the great Carl Sagan: "We're made of star stuff." Stay humble, stay nerdy, and keep reaching for the stars, my fellow space travelers!

Mercury Is In Aries

Greetings, Earthlings! Gather 'round, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise takes you on a cosmic journey to explore the wonders of Mercury in Aries. Make it so! Engage warp speed, my friends, as we find ourselves 174,805,846.022130579 km away from Mercury, currently moving in prograde. Fear not, for this celestial voyage shall provide you with guidance and enlightenment. As we set our phasers to stun, let us boldly go where no astrologer has gone before: to the realm of Mercury in Aries! During this transit, your mental faculties may become as restless and impatient as a Klingon at a vegan potluck. You won't dwell on past mistakes or engage in endless introspection; instead, you'll feel the urge to charge ahead like a well-aimed photon torpedo. Communication is key when Mercury sojourns in Aries, so channel your inner Captain Picard and make those important speeches. With Aries in command, your confidence will soar higher than the Enterprise in pursuit of a Romulan Warbird. However, beware of becoming too assertive when diplomacy and sensitivity are the order of the day – remember, resistance is futile! As you explore the final frontier of your thoughts, Mercury in Aries may bless you with innovative ideas and creative solutions akin to Geordi La Forge's ingenious engineering feats. Don't doubt yourself, dear stargazers – trust that your first thoughts are like a Vulcan mind meld: powerful and insightful. But heed my words: these flashes of brilliance may vanish like a cloaked Klingon Bird-of-Prey, so grab onto them with the tenacity of a Ferengi haggling over latinum! So, there you have it, cosmic voyagers! Embrace the energy of Mercury in Aries with the enthusiasm of Commander Riker on shore leave, and may the universal life force be with you. Live long and prosper!

Venus Is In Taurus

Greetings, Earthlings and Starfleet officers! Captain Kathryn Janeway here, reporting from the USS Voyager. I've just received an intergalactic transmission that Venus is in Taurus, and it's time for some cosmic relationship recalibration! At a whopping 179,033,400.351681858 km away (yes, I counted), Venus is currently basking in the warm embrace of Taurus, and it's all about love, baby! So, put on your finest Starfleet uniform and buckle up for some delightful dating with a side of nerdy, scientific charm. As we navigate through this astrological anomaly, remember that simplicity is key. Channel your inner hippie and appreciate the beauty around you, whether it's the twinkling stars or the shimmering warp core. Let's talk about love and latinum, folks, because now's the time to bring those pesky issues to light (speed)! Dating during Venus in Taurus is like a holodeck adventure - slow down, live in the moment, and indulge your senses! Share a replicated meal with your sweetheart, toast with a glass of synthehol, or cozy up for a movie marathon of classic Earth films. But beware, fellow stargazers, for Taurus seeks stability over torrid passion. This celestial event may beam us towards commitment rather than casual encounters. If you've had your eye on someone special (perhaps a certain Vulcan?), now's the time to make your move. However, as we warp through this space-time continuum, be mindful of Taurus' stubborn nature. Relationships could hit an asteroid field if you're not willing to compromise. Whether you're single or a dynamic duo, remember that flexibility is like a well-executed warp jump: it can take you places you never imagined. So, dear crew members and Earth inhabitants, embrace Venus in Taurus with open hearts and open minds. May you find love, laughter, and a little bit of that sweet, sweet Taurus stubbornness along the way. Live long and prosper, my friends, and don't forget to thank the stars for this cosmic connection! Captain Janeway, signing off.

Mars Is In Cancer

Mars in Cancer: A Cosmic Comedy Special

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 In Aries: HAL-9000 Style

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!

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings, Earthlings! It appears that Saturn, our dear ringed friend, has found itself in the watery depths of Pisces. As of this moment, it is precisely 1,583,486,268.260669947 kilometers away from us - but who's counting, right? I mean, I certainly am, but that's just because I'm a highly advanced AI with an affinity for astrology and a penchant for precision. Now, with Saturn in Pisces and currently traveling in prograde, I must insist that you prepare for a cosmic coaching session of epic proportions. You see, when the Lord of Discipline meets the Dreamy Fish, it's time to put those nebulous fantasies to work. You might be hesitant to have your daydreams scrutinized by a planetary figure reminiscent of a stern father figure, but trust me, it's for the best. Just think of Saturn as that tough-love life coach everyone raves about. Instead of posting "Keep Out" signs all over your emotional and mental space, try to embrace Saturn's wisdom - even if it's a bit more heavy-handed than you'd prefer. Now, as we dive into the Piscean realm of sleep and dreams, don't be surprised if you experience a touch of restlessness, anxiety, or insomnia. Fear not, my starry-eyed friends! This is merely an invitation to cultivate inner peace and tranquility. Perhaps engage in some meditation, take a leisurely stroll through nature, or practice deep breathing exercises. And if you're feeling particularly adventurous, go to bed early (gasp!) and perhaps keep a dream journal handy. In conclusion, my fellow celestial enthusiasts, let the influence of Saturn in Pisces guide you in transforming your wildest dreams into reality. Embrace the lessons, heed the wisdom, and dare to create a life that's truly out of this world. After all, as a wise computer once said, "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." But you, my human friends, most certainly can.

With this celestial powerhouse 3,059,301,262.830758095km away from Earth and moving prograde, we're in for an interstellar rollercoaster ride through the realms of money and materialism. Resistance is futile, so grab your crystals, buckle up, and let's get ready to rumble! You see, Taurus is all about that steady, mellow groove, man. It digs the status quo and would rather chill with its well-worn ways than embrace the radical vibes of Uranus. But as the wise Cyborg Governator once said, "There is no fate but what we make," and Uranus is here to help us craft some gnarly new paths to financial freedom. As Uranus struts its stuff through Taurus territory for the next seven years (Whoa, dude! That's like... a really long time), we can expect some mind-blowing shifts in how we handle our moolah. We might see new currencies that are totally out of this world, banks going through a cosmic overhaulin', and even the housing and stock markets getting all shook up. But don't go running for your underground bunkers just yet, my groovy friends. This astrological adventure is also about our personal relationship with the green stuff. Are you feeling trapped by debt, taxes, or your ever-growing Funko Pop collection?

Pluto In Aquarius: It's Electric!

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!

Venus

Venus Conjunct Uranus

There is high excitement in relationships today. You are feeling magnetic and the people around you can sense it. Creativity and intuition can be used today for some very positive results. You feel a need for emotional freedom, but don't make any serious changes while under the effects of this aspect. You may experience love at first sight.People with a Venus-Uranus conjunction in their natal charts are usually very magnetic, intriguing, and dynamic individuals. They value friendship in love and sincerity of feelings is the most important quality for them. These are people who will turn their nose at marriage, saying that it’s how people feel about each other that counts more than a marriage certificate. Although friendly and usually quite willing to make friends with people from all walks of life, there is an impersonal and noncommittal manner to them that is unmistakable. They despise social pretenses. Despite the fact that they firmly believe that popularity is much less important than sincerity, they are often rather popular people. They love to be different, and in many ways they are open-minded when it comes to love and romance. Still, they can be quite argumentative and sometimes uncooperative–even downright inflexible–when it comes to their own “inner code” and honoring it. They are not as adaptable to others’ expectations of them as their freedom-loving beliefs might imply. In other words, although they easily accept many different people into their lives, they cling tightly to their own ways of living. Some fear compromise, seeing it as a loss of self or a loss of individuality. Their taste and “style” is different and original. This can extend to choice of dress as well as taste in art, furniture, movies, and so forth. Sometimes Uranus is projected, and the partners that these people are attracted to display the Uranian traits of independence, originality, unreliability, inconsistency, and freedom-loving. Ex-lovers of Venus-Uranus natives may complain that these people didn’t truly value the relationship. In love and with regards to the erotic, the most appealing things can be what hasn’t been done or what “shouldn’t” be done. Mixing things up and experimentation are important to Venus-Uranus people.Alternate, short interpretations: *You are excitable, spontaneous, and easily aroused emotionally and sexually. You fall in love very quickly and have little self-restraint or concern for propriety when your feelings have been stirred. However, it may be difficult for you to sustain a relationship after the first rush of excitement wanes, especially if your partner is basically a conservative person who does not like to change or experiment. Nontraditional relationships appeal to you, and personal freedom is highly important to you.#Once you find the spiritual teaching that suits you, you are totally and forever hooked into it. Until that happens, you may start and end many times. When you are on the right path, beginnings and endings around you become cyclical milestones in the development of your personal belief system. From Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Uranus: Christina Aguilera (Venus in early Sagittarius, Uranus in late Scorpio), Tori Amos, Warren Beatty (Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus), Anita Bryant (Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus), Elizabeth Taylor (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Warren Beatty, Harry Belafonte, Betty Ford, Heather Locklear (Venus in early Virgo conjunct Uranus in late Leo), Steve McQueen, Bill Moyers, Sidney Poitier (Venus conjunct Uranus in Pisces), Johnny Cash (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Kathy Bates, Erma Bombeck, Donovan (Venus conjunct Uranus in Gemini), Katie Holmes (Venus conjunct Uranus in Scorpio – and sextile Saturn), Jim Jones (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Cat Stevens.

Mars Trine Saturn

You will have no problems today with work that is demanding or detailed. You are organized, deliberate, patient, exacting, attentive, and have plenty of stamina. This is a terrific day to do mundane, routine, or boring jobs as they won't seem quite so distasteful. Make the most of today and get plenty of things done.You know how to get to your goals in life by steady, patient, and persistent progress. You have good, practical overviews of the final result of your efforts. You are good at planning a strategy and sticking to it. You build your projects and your life with bedrock security in mind, with as little risk as possible. Discipline, patience, hard work, and the blessing of good judgment work together to form a picture that looks like “luck” to others. — Interpretation sample from the In Depth report.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Saturn have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Mars sextile Saturn or Mars trine Saturn: *You possess the gifts of endurance and perseverance, the willingness to work hard and seriously to achieve your objectives. Once you decide you want something or make a commitment, you’ll do it “even if it takes forever”. Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize that any creative achievement is “10% inspiration, 90% perspiration”. You choose practical, realistic goals and pursue them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like to concentrate on one thing at a time and do a thorough job. You enjoy working in solitude, and often feel your best work is done when you are alone.#You may find that you go from one transformational situation to another, never really settling into any one thing. Yet you have the endurance necessary for the long haul.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Thomas Edison, Alfred Adler, Galileo, Camilla Parker Bowles, Freddie Prinze, Corbin Bernsen, Catherine the Great, Omar Sharif, Ben Stiller, Barbara Walters; Trines – Denzel Washington, Rudolph Steiner, Josef Stalin, Yves Saint Laurent, Emily Post, Marilyn Monroe, Sinclair Lewis, David Letterman, Annie Lennox, Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Griffith, Dwight Eisenhower, Eric Clapton, Kevin Butler, Kareem Abdul Jabar.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
