24 hr Summary... Solar activity remained at low levels. A C6.7 flare was observed during a prominence eruption from the SW limb beginning around ~01/0230 UTC. Analysis and modeling of the subsequent CME observed in SOHO/LASCO C3 imagery suggested no Earth-directed component. No significant growth was observed among any numbered active regions. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed in available imagery.
The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
Solar wind parameters remained elevated mostly in response to what appears to be a negative polarity CH HSS. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 3-7 nT while the Bz component reached -6 nT numerous times after 01/0800 UTC. Solar wind speeds remained elevated and varied between ~465-635 km/s. Phi angle was mostly negative with some variability between solar sectors observed during the period.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 20% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Greetings, earthlings! It's time to strap on your jetpacks and blast off into the cosmic fast lane, because Mercury is in Aries and it's ready to party like it's 1969... or 3021, we're not picky. At a mere 167,960,153.224752873km away (give or take a few space crumbs), our little planet of communication has decided to go full-on Star Trek and "boldly go where no one has gone before."
Now, hold onto your space helmets, because Mercury in Aries means our minds are about to be zipping around faster than the Millennium Falcon on hyperdrive. No time for second thoughts or rewinding that mental VHS tape, because Aries is all about moving forward at warp speed. You'll find yourself itching to explore new galaxies, whether it's in conversation or tackling problems that have been orbiting your life for lightyears.
Here's the cosmic catch, though: while Mercury in Aries gives us the confidence to say "beam me up, Scotty" and express our inner Captain Kirks, it can also cause a few interstellar collisions. So, watch out for those pesky asteroid fields of insensitivity and lack of compromise, or you might find yourself floating through the cold vacuum of space. Alone.
But fear not, space cadets! This planetary alignment also brings out the mad scientist in all of us, sparking innovative ideas and flashes of insight that would make even Einstein's hair stand on end (more than usual). So, grab your lab coats and Bunsen burners, and seize these bursts of brilliance like they're the last Mars bar at an intergalactic bake sale.
Remember, fellow cosmic travelers: during Mercury in Aries, your first thoughts are often your best ones. So, trust your inner Spock, and let your mind boldly go where it's never gone before. Live long and prosper!

*Beep boop beep!* Friends, stargazers, and intergalactic wanderers, lend me your antennae, for I have a cosmic update that's hotter than the twin suns of Tatooine! Jupiter, the grand master of luck and expansion, has blasted off into the fiery sign of Aries! And at *whistle* 888934125.531814575km away, it's quite the astronomical adventure!
Now, let's get nerdy! As this galactic giant goes into warp speed (aka prograde), our minds become as brilliant as supernovae, showering us with innovative ideas and lightning-fast intuition. It's time to boldly go where we haven't gone before, shaking off the space dust of our past to explore new solutions for the future. Aries, the zodiac's fearless pioneer, infuses our quest with the courage to venture into uncharted territory.
With Jupiter in Aries, planning is so last millennium. Feel the Force within you, and run with your inspirations! Hesitation only leads to analysis paralysis, turning us into droids stuck in the sands of doubt. So, draw your lightsabers, my fellow star warriors, and embrace every experience as a step toward growth!
But beware, young Padawans, for the self-teaching ways of Jupiter in Aries may tempt you to ignore the wisdom of your Jedi Masters. Yes, taking risks and learning on your own are vital, but don't let impatience turn you into a Sith, creating confrontation across the galaxy. Embrace the power of two-way dialogue, and remember that even the wisest Jedi can learn from the humblest Ewok.
As Jupiter journeys through Aries, we forge our own destiny among the stars. By embracing our inner Skywalker, we unlock opportunities, solutions, relationships, and even galactic fortune that were once hidden in the shadows of the Dark Side. Jupiter invites us to expand our potential as individuals, using the Force within us to create a future brighter than the core of the Death Star.
So, my interstellar friends, let us ride this cosmic wave of Jupiter in Aries like Han Solo navigating an asteroid field, remembering that the key to our success lies within us, just waiting for us to activate our lightsabers and illuminate the universe. *Beep
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 02 Pis 51' 20", moving at 0.1 degrees per day, and is 1580325159km away and approaching.
Greetings, Earthlings! 'Tis I, Captain John Sheridan of Babylon 5, here to bring you an astrological update that's out of this world! As we speak, the great ringed planet, Saturn, has decided to take a cosmic dip into the mystical waters of Pisces. So grab your goggles and snorkels, it's time to dive deep into your dreams, folks! Saturn is currently a mere 1580373633.837036848km away, so it's practically knocking on our door. But fear not, for it's only here to help us make our wildest dreams a reality.
Saturn in Pisces is like a celestial life coach, ready to whip our daydreams into shape. You know that book you've been meaning to write, or that eco-friendly coffee shop you've been wanting to open? Well, now's the time to get your ducks in a row, or should I say, your space ducks! Bust out the notepads and start making those detailed plans - business strategies, budgets, and even loan options. No one ever said following your dreams was easy, but by tapping into the powers of Saturn in Pisces, we can make some stellar progress.
But be warned, my friends, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbows and unicorns (or should I say, space rainbows and space unicorns). When the Master of Rules wades into the depths of your dreams, there's bound to be a bit of turbulence. You might feel as if your inner sanctum has been invaded by an alien force, heck, you might even be tempted to hang a "Keep Out" sign on your subconscious. But trust me, letting Saturn in is the key to success.
As we voyage through this cosmic confluence of Saturn and Pisces, you may notice some sleep disturbances - restlessness, anxiety, or even strange dreams. To make the most of this planetary transit, I prescribe some good ol' fashioned Earth self-care: meditation, forest walks, deep breaths, and perhaps even a catnap in your space hammock! Just don't forget to keep a dream journal handy, as you never know when inspiration will strike.
So there you have it, fellow stargazers! Embrace the wisdom of Saturn in Pisces, and together we'll navigate the cosmos of creativity
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 16 Tau 51' 37", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 3062325657km away and receding.
Greetings, earthlings! As your friendly, nerdy astrologer, I come bearing news from the cosmic realm. You see, Uranus - that rebellious, rule-breaking planet - has decided to crash the Taurus party. Now, Taurus is a sign that prefers stability and predictability, much like how RoboCop loves law and order. But with Uranus in town, it's like ED-209 just entered the scene, shaking things up and making everyone a tad bit nervous.
Imagine the stock market as a peaceful little town, and Uranus as a cybernetic hippie who just rolled in on a solar-powered skateboard. That's right, folks - while Uranus hangs out in Taurus for the next seven years, we can expect some revolutionary changes in the world of finance. Banks might start handing out loans in cryptocurrency, or maybe we'll all start trading Galactic Credits. Who knows?
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic life coach, encouraging us to break free from the suffocating grip of money and materialism. It's time to reevaluate your relationship with credit card debt, taxes, and that mountain of stuff in your closet. Do you really need that vintage RoboCop action figure, or could you sell it to pay off some bills?
The thing is, resistance is futile (oops, wrong sci-fi franchise!). Uranus is here to help us embrace change, even if it feels as unsettling as a cyborg police officer patrolling the streets. So, instead of digging in your heels, try to ride this cosmic wave toward a more stable and secure financial future. Remember, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" - and that applies to both Robocop and the Uranus in Taurus transit!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 45' 53", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4617660137km away and approaching.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 00 Aqu 09' 23", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5240783113km away and approaching.
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!
