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.
The waning moon is currently in Libra, at 16 degrees, 58' 02", at a velocity of 12.75 degrees per day.
The Full moon is currently 14.8 days old. It is 391813.01 km from the centre of the Earth.
The next new moon is at 4:15:48, 20 Apr, 2023. The next full moon is at 17:36:47, 5 May, 2023.

Moon Is In Libra
Greetings, stargazers and fellow space nerds! Captain John Sheridan here, reporting from Babylon 5 with an astrological update that'll knock your space socks off. Now, listen up folks, because we've got a cosmic event happening that's so harmonious it might just make you sing! That's right, the ever-majestic Moon has decided to take a leisurely stroll into the refined neighborhood of Libra. And guess what? It's a whopping 391,067.337296339 km away! Talk about social distancing, am I right? Now, gentle Libra is known for its love of balance, diplomacy, and making sure everyone gets along, even in the vacuum of space. So with the Moon waltzing in, we're all in for a delightful cosmic ballet that's smoother than a Vorlon on roller skates! So what does this mean for us mere mortals? Well, you can expect emotions to be as cool as a Centauri cucumber. No drama, no fuss, just a beautiful interstellar equilibrium. Now's the time to channel your inner diplomat and bring peace to your own little corner of the universe, even if it's just settling that dispute over who ate the last slice of space pizza. But remember, fellow star travelers, balance is key. Don't go tipping the scales too far in either direction, or you might just find yourself floating aimlessly in the cosmic abyss. Keep one foot in reality, and the other in the stars, and you'll navigate this Libran moon like a pro. In conclusion, dear Earthlings and extraterrestrial friends, let the Moon in Libra be your guiding light as you seek harmony and balance amidst the chaos of daily life. Embrace the tranquility, and who knows – you might just find yourself humming a celestial tune as you glide through the galaxy. This is Captain John Sheridan, signing off. May the stars be with you, always. Peace, love, and cosmic harmony, my friends!Mercury is in Taurus

Mercury in Taurus: Ground Control to Major Bull
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 – 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 In Taurus: A Nerdtastic Lovefest
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 Is In Cancer
Intergalactic Astro-Alert: Mars in Cancer
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! ✌️🔮
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. 🚀🌌🎨
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. 🛠️🧹🍰
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. 🌊❤️🌟
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. 🎢🌠💔
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 is in Aries
Jupiter is prograde at 20 Ari 23' 13", moving at 0.24 degrees per day, and is 890065651km away and receding.
Jupiter Is In Aries
Ahoy there, cosmic adventurers! Gather 'round as we embark on a galactic voyage to explore the thrilling and fiery phenomenon of Jupiter in Aries! So buckle up, because this is going to be one heck of a ride! Jupiter, that colossal gas giant, has found itself in the daring realm of Aries, and it's ready to light up our lives like a supernova! And let's not forget that Jupiter is a staggering 890,058,140.465360403 km away, but who's counting, right? As we speak, this celestial titan is moving prograde, so brace yourselves for an exhilarating intellectual journey. Picture this: Our minds are like shooting stars during Jupiter in Aries, blazing with inventive thoughts and bolts of intuition hotter than the surface of the Sun. It's time to ditch the gravitational pull of our past limitations and rocket towards innovative solutions for the future. Aries, being the fearless pioneer of the zodiac, is ready to blast off into unexplored territories with gusto! Now, I know what you're thinking – "Captain, how do we navigate this cosmic voyage?" Well, my fellow stargazers, with Jupiter in Aries, we don't have time for tedious planning and strategizing. No, no, no! We need to ride the wave of inspiration like a comet streaking across the sky. Hesitate too long, and we might find ourselves tangled in the cosmic web of restrictions and problems that'll hold us back. So, what's the secret to mastering the art of learning during Jupiter in Aries? Simple, my dear interstellar travelers – it's all about self-teaching and self-discovery! Don't be afraid to boldly go where no one (or at least you) has gone before, whether you feel prepared or not. Remember, success and failure are just two sides of the same cosmic coin, and both can propel us towards growth and enlightenment. But beware, space cadets! With opinions hotter than a supernova, this Jupiter in Aries transit can fuel confrontations both on intergalactic and interpersonal levels. The key to avoiding cosmic collisions is to keep our communication channels open and embrace the wisdom of others. After all, Jupiter always reminds us that there's an entire universe of knowledge out there waiting to be discovered! The moral of our cosmic tale? During Jupiter's expedition through Aries, we are the captains of our own destiny. By harnessing our inner power and potential, we can unlock opportunities, solutions, relationships,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.
Saturn Is In Pisces
Beam Me Up, Saturn: Pisces Edition
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 is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 17 Tau 03' 46", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 3067878718km away and receding.
Uranus Is In Taurus
Greetings, Earthlings and fellow space travelers! As the Galactic Princess Leia Organa, I bring you a horoscope message that even Chewbacca would approve. So buckle up your Millennium Falcon seatbelts because Uranus is in Taurus, and it's time to shake things up (cue lightsaber sound). Taurus, my dear friends, is a sign that appreciates a stable life, much like how a Jedi prefers a peaceful galaxy. However, with Uranus in Taurus, this stability is about to be disrupted faster than Han Solo can make the Kessel Run. You may be feeling like you're stuck on the Death Star of old habits, but trust me, Uranus is here to help you escape in an X-Wing of revolutionary changes. Now let's talk money, because Taurus loves money more than Jabba the Hutt loves collecting bounties. During the seven-year journey of Uranus in Taurus, we can expect financial systems to change as dynamically as the plot twists in the Star Wars saga. We might see new currencies emerge, the banking system transform, and the housing and stock markets fluctuate like the Force awakening within us. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like Yoda teaching us to break free from the dark side of financial burdens. Debts, taxes, and expenses may have you feeling like you're trapped in carbonite, but this cosmic transit is the key to reshaping your relationship with money, much like how a young Jedi reshapes their connection to the Force. Resistance is futile, my friends. Embrace the changes like you'd embrace an Ewok's adorable furry face. So, what can you do during this period of intergalactic financial awakening? Channel your inner Princess Leia and fight for freedom from oppressive financial burdens. Be willing to adapt and change, and pursue that greater stability like you're hunting down the plans to the Death Star. Remember, change can be as long-lasting as the legend of a galaxy far, far away. May the Force (and Uranus in Taurus) be with you!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.
Neptune Is In Pisces
Greetings, Earthlings! Gather 'round and lend me your ear antennae as I, your nerdy astrological guide, unveil the cosmic happenings of Neptune in Pisces! Fear not, for I have calculated the distance to be precisely 4,614,604,701.092633247 kilometers away, give or take a few centimeters. And rejoice, for Neptune is currently in prograde, so no need to fret about any retrograde shenanigans. Now, let's dive into the mystical waters of this cosmic event! As Neptune glides graciously through the dreamy realm of Pisces, it bestows upon us the power of super-duper emotional vision. Imagine it like x-ray glasses, but instead of seeing through clothes or walls, we see into the very souls of those around us. With this newfound clarity, we realize that our obsession with minor differences is as pointless as a black hole without a singularity. Instead, we are drawn to the shimmering allure of togetherness and unity like moths to a cosmic flame. This planetary alignment is basically a giant megaphone from the universe, calling out to us, "Hey you! Yes, you! What can YOU do to contribute to the greater good of humankind?" Fret not, fellow star gazers, for we all possess unique gifts, ideas, and dreams, like puzzle pieces waiting to form a spectacular image of universal harmony. Now is the perfect time to unleash your inner hippie! Embark on a spiritual journey, attend a drum circle, or build a sacred altar in your living room (but please, keep it fire-safe). As you tap into your own emotional intelligence, Neptune in Pisces will be your cosmic cheerleader, encouraging you to share your newfound wisdom with the world. So, my fellow Earth-dwellers, let us heed the call of Neptune in Pisces, embrace our inner flower child, and unite as one cosmic family. After all, we're all just specks of stardust floating through the vastness of space, trying to find our way. Peace, love, and celestial vibes to you all!Pluto is in Aquarius

Pluto Is In Aquarius
Pluto In Aquarius: The Final Frontier
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 – much like our favorite starship crew – 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!

Current Planetary Positions
Sun Opposite Moon
You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to a minimum. Try to understand others' points of view before expressing your own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.People born when the Sun opposes the Moon have an internal struggle between their needs and their wants. In contrast to the Sun-Moon conjunction personality, the Full Moon personality is inclined towards lack of focus and indecision. Their ability to be objective is both an asset and a liability, simply because when they decide on one route, they are pulled in another direction at the same time. Something tugs at them, and they begin to question their stance. “But what if…” and “on the other hand…” are statements they can’t help making and that plague them. While Sun conjunct Moon people have an Aries style about them, Sun opposition Moon natives have a distinct Libra energy about them, in that they are always aware of the opposing point of view, the other side of the coin, and so forth.Their inner struggle is most obvious in their vitality, as both the Sun and the Moon strongly influence the vitality. They have many ups and downs, and it is hard to know if it is physical or emotional. In fact, it’s likely both. These people might spend a week working hard, and the following week they lack motivation and find it hard to accomplish much. Their energy fluctuates more than most people, and it is very much a reflection of what is going on inside.The messages they received in their early lives in terms of what was expected of them were conflicting, and even opposite. Some people born under the Full Moon viewed their parents as two very different and separate individuals who each wanted something very different from their child. Their parents or parent figures “stood for” two very different things, and their child internalized this. There may have been some emotional frustration in connection with the father and a stifling of the go by the mother.It is hard for Sun opposition Moon people to find happiness within themselves. They tend to look outside of themselves for fulfillment. They are inclined to form serious relationships at an early age, simply because of this tendency to try to find an answer to happiness from an “other”. They are prone to divorce, partly because of this prematurity, and partly because their needs are complicated. Full Moon people are also more apt to seek counseling because of this need to find answers.These people appear to be very self-aware. They entertain a myriad of different points of view and perspectives. They are excellent psychologists and are able to read character and uncover motivations–but with an important caveat: if they are too emotionally close to the situation, they fumble. The truth is, although they appear to know much about how people tick, they spend a good part of their lives uncovering more of themselves and learning about themselves. Generally, this is done through comparisons or through the mirror of relationships.They can most certainly frustrate the people who are close to them with their indecisiveness and frequent changes of mind (and of heart). A word to those who deal with this on a day-to-day basis: their changes of heart are not a form of insincerity–they are the result of an internal struggle that is very real and very confusing to live with! Sun opposition Moon people can be temperamental, insecure, and very sensitive. The ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, and to consider other points of view, is a true asset. However, at some point in their lives, they need to uncover what it is they truly want. This comes easy to New Moon people, and can be a life-long struggle for Full Moon people. On the other hand, it is extremely easy for a Full Moon personality to understand others’ points of view–something that doesn’t come as easily to a New Moon personality. Sun opposition Moon people are generally interesting and complex. Born under a Full Moon, they can be a bit “loony”, perhaps manifesting itself in a unique sense of humor.Look for a planet that might trine and sextile the Sun-Moon opposition for a way to release the tension the opposition creates. Somehow, some way, through that planet, its sign, and its house position, the Sun opposition Moon person can find an “answer” to the struggle. Look also to the sign polarity involved for more details of the struggle. If it’s Aries and Libra, for example, there is a conflict between two equal drives to be independent and to depend on others.Some Famous People with Sun Opposition Moon: Lisa Bonet (the aspect is exact, or partile), Barry Bonds, Billy Ray Cyprus, Kirk Douglas, Alicia Witt.People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or trine, and early relationships, in particular, can be challenging until the stressful aspects are recognized as an inner tension.A woman with Sun opposition Moon, who had lived through her parents’ difficult divorce as a child, complained that her husband seemed to be quite complacent about their marriage, simply expecting that it would work out without much effort. His Sun and Moon form a sextile. When faced with a relationship problem, her instinct was to work on it actively, but her husband did not see such a need. In fact, he did not “see” the problems as clearly as his wife did. He felt that she was looking for problems that didn’t exist, while she felt he was taking the relationship for granted by not addressing problems as they arose.A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge – so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun square Moon suggests an internal “war” between two equally powerful desires: the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.Sun Conjunct Jupiter
You should be feeling very well and alive today. This aspect gives generosity, vitality, and a desire to express and expand. Now is the time to broaden your horizons. You really like people today and have warm-hearted feelings about them. And they feel the same towards you. Consider new ideas and seek to widen your experiences. Guard against pride, over-optimism, self-indulgence and trying to take on too much.
