Solar activity remained at low levels, with low-level C-class flares becoming more common over the last half of the period. Most of this activity is likely attributed to activity on the SE limb. Region 3270 (S23W45, Dai/beta-gamma) continues to show minimal activity while continuing to show signs of simplification. Region 3271 (S16, L=238) decayed to plage and was inactive. Region 3266 (N11W54, Cro/beta) evolved into a bipolar spot group and showed some growth, but has since rapidly decayed. Several larger filaments are present in the southern hemisphere on center disk and will be worth monitoring. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph 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.
Solar wind parameters were indicative of a weakening influence of the negative polarity CH HSS regimes, as CH89 and CH90 rotate to the west limb. The total magnetic field strength continued to hover around 5 nT, while the Bz component continued to fluctuate between +/-5 nT. Solar wind speeds averaged 500 km/s for the first 12 hours of the last 24-hour period, before a gradual reduction to the current ~390 km/s. Phi angle remains mostly negative, with few short-duration stints in the positive.
There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Greetings, Earthlings! Your intergalactic astrologer has a cosmic update for you that's groovier than a supernova. Mercury, our solar system's resident chatterbox, is currently chillin' in the sign of Taurus, and it's 152,971,719.944763184 kilometers away! No need to grab your telescope, though, because I've got the lowdown on this planetary party for you.
If you've been feeling like your thoughts have gone from light-speed to cruising altitude, there's a good reason. When Mercury hangs out with Taurus, it's like Spock and the Dude from The Big Lebowski teamed up to create one mind-melding, practical-thinking machine. Say goodbye to daydreams and hello to meticulously planning out your next interstellar conquest (or, you know, your grocery list).
While Mercury is vibing in Taurus, our collective brains are taking a break from far-out fantasies and getting down to Earth โ literally. We're talking concrete plans, solid foundations, and a determination that would make even the most stubborn alien species proud. It's a cosmic combo that could help you build your very own Death Star... or at least get that DIY project finished.
So, my fellow space cadets, it's time to buckle up, engage thrusters, and let Mercury in Taurus guide you through the galaxy of grounded thinking. Just remember, in the immortal words of Ellen Ripley, "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Except in this case, "nuke" means "plan," and "entire site" means "your life." You get the idea.
Stay groovy, stargazers, and may the force of Mercury in Taurus be with you!
Venus
Venus is in Taurus
Venus is prograde at 24 Tau 12' 45", moving at 1.18 degrees per day, and is 173127356km away and approaching.
Alright, you lovely earthlings, gather 'round and let me tell you about Venus in Taurus - it's like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of cosmic events. You got your lovable Venus, just hanging out 173,168,140.635381550 km away (yeah, I'm that precise), and it's currently going all prograde on us. Pretty rad, huh? Now, let's dive into what this means for our love lives and wallets!
When Venus decides to crash the Taurus party, we're all reminded that life can be a big ol' bowl of cherries. It's time to put on those rose-colored glasses, appreciate the beauty around us, and tackle love and money issues like a boss. Think of it as relationship spring cleaning - or even better, a science experiment! Mix some love chemicals, add a dash of trust, and see what concoctions you can create.
Dating during Venus in Taurus is like geeking out at Comic-Con with your soulmate - it's pure bliss. Slow down, live in the now, and find ways to enjoy every nerdtastic moment together. Whether you're binge-watching Star Trek or cooking up some molecular gastronomy delights, indulge your senses and make the most of this planetary lovefest.
Taurus craves security like a dog craves belly rubs, so when Venus and Taurus team up, it's all about finding that special someone to build your LEGO castle with. Casual flings and speed dating? Nah, not during this cosmic event. If you've been eyeing a potential partner like they're the last slice of pizza, now's the time to make your move and level-up your relationship.
Now, we can't ignore the fact that Taurus is infamous for being as stubborn as a mule playing a game of tug-of-war. When Venus is in Taurus, our relationships might hit some speed bumps, like trying to install updates on an old computer. If you're in a relationship, be prepared for some tricky terrain ahead - but remember, every puzzle has a solution! And if you're single, don't let your stubbornness block you from finding love. Embrace change like you would a new gadget or gizmo!
So there you have it, folks - Venus in Taurus is your chance to experience love
Mars
Mars is in Cancer
Mars is prograde at 05 Can 51' 15", moving at 0.51 degrees per day, and is 225189021km away and receding.
Greetings, cosmic comrades! Gather around your lava lamps and plug in your LED star projectors, because we've got an astrological mashup that's out of this world! Mars, our feisty fireball of a planet, has decided to take a vacation in the cozy crab shell of Cancer. So buckle up for a groovy ride through emotional home improvement and fierce family love! โ๏ธ๐ฎ
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Mars in Cancer? That's like Spock at a Grateful Dead concert!" But hear me out, fellow space cadets. This stellar combo gives us the chance to channel our inner Bob Ross and paint some happy little trees with the fiery passion of Mars and the tender, nurturing vibes of Cancer. ๐๐๐จ
During this cosmic cruise, we might find ourselves swapping our lightsabers for vacuum cleaners and our blasters for baking sheets. That's right, it's time to embrace your inner domestic warrior and conquer that mountain of laundry, or finally build that IKEA bookshelf that's been sitting in the corner since the last solar eclipse. ๐ ๏ธ๐งน๐ฐ
But beware, astro adventurers! The Martian energy infused into the Crab's watery world can make us fiercely protective of our loved ones and our home turf. So, while you may feel like a Jedi defending the galaxy, remember to keep your cool and avoid going full Darth Vader on your family and friends. ๐โค๏ธ๐
The challenge with Mars' interstellar journey through cautious Cancer is that we may swap our warp speed for a leisurely moonwalk when pursuing our desires. If our hearts aren't feeling the cosmic connection, we might choose to Netflix and chill in our space pods rather than boldly go where no one has gone before. But take heed, star sailors: when our emotions do take the helm, they can steer us into hypersensitive supernovas or send us on a rollercoaster ride through the asteroid belt of reactivity. ๐ข๐ ๐
So, as Mars continues its prograde pilgrimage through the celestial seas of Cancer, let's embrace this intergalactic opportunity to nurture our loved ones, protect our sacred spaces, and build a cosmic bridge between the past and the future. May
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Aries
Jupiter is prograde at 20 Ari 23' 13", moving at 0.24 degrees per day, and is 890065651km away and receding.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 03 Pis 15' 33", moving at 0.1 degrees per day, and is 1573746108km away and approaching.
Alright, intergalactic stargazers! Strap on your Vulcan ears and grab your tricorders because Saturn has entered the cosmic waters of Pisces. With Saturn being 1573798109.116322041km away (give or take a parsec), you'd think its influence would be as subtle as a Klingon poetry recital, but you'd be wrong. It's time to boldly go where no one has gone before - inside our own minds!
Imagine Saturn as the ultimate cosmic life coach, beaming down to help us turn our wildest daydreams into reality. Is it a book about the mating habits of Tribbles? A business selling homemade Romulan ale? Whatever it is, Saturn in Pisces has got your back like a well-timed phaser blast.
But don't expect this astrological away mission to be all sunshine and Starfleet commendations. Saturn's presence in Pisces can sometimes feel like an uninvited visit from a nosy Cardassian tailor - ahem, I mean, "Garak." So, prepare yourselves for some tough love from the planetary "dad" who just wants the best for you, even if it stings like a Ferengi tooth sharpener.
As we dive deep into the Piscean realm, which is basically the Delta Quadrant of the zodiac, we might find ourselves feeling restless, anxious, or struggling to catch some Zzz's. But fear not, my celestial comrades! This is the perfect opportunity to channel your inner Vulcan and cultivate that inner calm. Meditate, wander through an Andorian forest, or maybe even take a nap (but keep that dream journal handy, Captain Kirk might make a cameo!).
So, fellow space cadets, let's embrace this Saturn in Pisces warp-speed journey to self-discovery. Set phasers to "stunning," because our cosmic life coach is ready to help us navigate through the final frontier: our dreams.
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 17 Tau 03' 46", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 3067878718km away and receding.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 54' 37", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4614584669km away and approaching.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 00 Aqu 12' 30", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5231397284km away and approaching.
Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of Pluto in Aquarius. Its mission: to transform strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no celestial body has gone before.
Picture this, my fellow space cadets: Pluto, the little planet that could (and then couldn't, and now can again), is currently engaged in a cosmic dance with Aquarius, the sign of progress and innovation. Together, they're teaming up to create a stellar revolution โ much like our favorite starship crew โ and change life as we know it.
When I say "serious transformation," I don't mean a trendy new haircut or swapping out your Starfleet uniform for something more retro. No, we're talking about a soul-shifting, warp-speed journey into the unknown. You see, Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth, while Aquarius is all about pushing boundaries and breaking free from old paradigms. Combine these two forces, and you've got enough cosmic power to make even Spock crack a smile.
So, what can we expect from this interstellar alliance? Well, advances in science, technology, and space travel are a given (transporter technology, anyone?). But more importantly, we're in for some universal changes in civil rights and humanitarianism. Just like the United Federation of Planets, the most powerful people during this transit will be those who unite for the greater good, valuing the lives and experiences of others over personal gain.
This cosmic connection also calls for a transformation in our personal lives. It's time to boldly go where our egos have never gone before and shift our focus from "me" to "we." What if, instead of prioritizing our own wants and needs, we considered what's best for the collective? It's a radical concept, but one that Pluto in Aquarius believes is the key to a brighter future.
So, fellow star travelers, as we embark on this cosmic journey with Pluto in Aquarius, let us heed the wise words of Captain James T. Kirk: "The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play." Embrace the unknown, keep an open mind, and above all, remember that we're all in this vast universe together. Engage!
