Solar activity decreased to moderate levels. Region 3311 (N18E35, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta) produced two M-class flares during the period. These include an M1/Sn at 21/0223 UTC and an M2/1n at 21/1604 UTC. Slight growth and separation was observed in Region 3311. Slight decay was observed in Regions 3305 (N12W84, Dai/beta) and 3308 (N12W68, Cao/beta). The rest of the spotted regions were relatively stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
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 began under the influence of a negative polarity CH HSS and ended on the arrival of the CME from 17 May. Solar wind speed decreased from near 600 km/s to around 450-480 km/s through 21/1500 UTC. Afterwards it increase to near 540 km/s. Total field showed an increase after 21/1315 UTC to a maximum of 13 nT at 21/1516 UTC. Bz ranged from +7/-10 nT and phi angle was mostly negative.
There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 30% chance of a minor event, a 30% chance of a moderate event, and a 15% chance of a strong event.

Space hippies and Trekkies alike, raise your Vulcan salutes, for Saturn has boldly gone where no planet has... okay, it's actually been there before, but it's back in Pisces! It's the perfect time to hop on that cosmic surfboard and ride the waves of introspection. So, throw on your most comfortable Starfleet uniform, brew some Earl Grey tea (hot, of course), and prepare to explore the far reaches of your inner galaxy.
As Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say, "Things are only impossible until they're not," and that's precisely the kind of attitude Saturn in Pisces wants you to adopt. This cosmic conjunction is like a celestial life coach, encouraging us to take all those wild ideas we've had while stargazing and start making them a reality. I mean, if Data can master painting, why can't you?
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But my dreams are as private as the Captain's quarters!" Well, Saturn may be the father figure of the planetary family, but he's also a bit of a cosmic nosy neighbor. So, instead of getting defensive when he comes knocking with some unsolicited advice, just remember that he's only trying to help you turn your dreams into realities. After all, resistance is futile.
While Saturn is doing its thing in Pisces, we might find ourselves experiencing some sleep disturbances - trust me, even androids dream of electric sheep. So, take this time to channel your inner Deanna Troi and practice that empathic self-care: meditate, go for a stroll amongst the stars, or even take a nap in Ten Forward. Just don't forget to have a dream journal ready, because you never know when Saturn might beam down some cosmic wisdom.
So, fellow space explorers, as we boldly go through this Saturn in Pisces transit, remember the wise words of Captain Picard: "Seize the time... Live now! Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again." And with that, may you live long and prosper!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 39' 11", moving at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 3087718955km away and approaching.
Hold onto your space hats, cosmic comrades, because Uranus is shaking things up in the world of Taurus, and it's going to be one wild ride! Now, I know you Tauruses out there prefer your life as stable as a rock floating through the vacuum of space, but guess what? Uranus has other plans, and it's bringing some major cosmic turbulence your way. You might as well buckle up, buttercups, because resistance is futile!
As the celestial hippie that I am, I've got some groovy news for you: this Uranus-Taurus dance party is all about revolutionizing the way we deal with money. That's right, Earthlings, we're looking at some intergalactic financial shake-ups that even the most stubborn of bulls can't ignore. So, whether it's cryptocurrencies from another dimension or banks transforming into cosmic credit unions, the universe is reminding us that change is inevitable.
But let's get personal, stargazers. This Uranus transit ain't just about the global economy; it's about your individual relationship with your wallet and possessions. Are you clinging to your space credits like a black hole, or drowning in a sea of debt, taxes, and interest fees? Well, it's time to break free from those materialistic chains and embrace the cosmic financial freedom Uranus has to offer.
Remember, my fellow celestial travelers, change might be scary, but it's also necessary for growth and progress. So, don't be a stick in the cosmic mud - embrace the interstellar winds of change and let Uranus in Taurus guide you to a more stable, albeit unpredictable, financial future. After all, as my good friend, the Doctor from Doctor Who, once said, "We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 16' 05", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4539460877km away and approaching.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is retrograde at 00 Aqu 16' 02", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5123033353km away and approaching.
Hasta la vista, baby! Pluto, the planet of transformation (and also a big fan of The Terminator), has now entered Aquarius, the sign of progress. So buckle up, because it's about to get real, folks. With 5,123,079,766.226421356 km between us and our icy friend in retrograde, we best be prepared for some serious soul-searching and world-changing events.
When I say transformation, I mean Arnold-Schwarzenegger-turning-into-a-cyborg levels of change. We're talking about shedding old identities faster than a T-1000 morphs into a cop. Pluto is all about saying "hasta la vista" to our past selves and making space for something more "I'll be back" worthy. And that's what makes this cosmic duo so powerful: Aquarius and Pluto are like the Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese of the zodiac, working together to bring humanity to new heights.
Expect to see worldwide advancements in science, technology, and space travel that would make Skynet jealous. But more importantly, we'll witness major shifts in civil rights, humanitarianism, and maybe even robot-human relations (hey, we can dream, right?). The real heroes will be those who unite and value the experiences of others, much like John Connor leading the human resistance.
On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius wants us to rethink our place in this world, like a T-800 learning the value of human life. Sure, it's natural to look out for number one, but what if we started thinking about what's best for everyone, rather than just ourselves? Can we become the selfless heroes that this transit needs?
So, are you ready to answer the call and join the resistance against outdated beliefs and systems, or will you be left behind in the dystopian past? Remember, the future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. And as The Terminator would say, "There is no substitute for human touch." So let's unite and create a better tomorrow together!
