Solar activity reached moderate levels. The largest flare of the period was an M4.7 flare from Region 3327 (S16E28, Eki/beta-gamma-delta) at 07/1146 UTC. This region was the most active of the 10 numbered regions with sunspots on the visible disk and was also the source of occasional C-class flares, to include a C7.1 flare at 07/0645 UTC and a C8.7 flare at 07/1829 UTC. The C7.1 flare produced a CME off the southeast limb that was modeled and determined not to have an Earth-directed component.
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 near background levels. Total field strength was at 5 nT and the Bz component was unremarkable. A weak enhancement in the solar wind field occurred at 07/2225 UTC when the IMF strength quickly increased to 8 nT and eventually peaked at 9-10 nT. Solar wind speed also showed a mild increase from near 325 km/s to about 380 km/s before decreasing again. Prior to this weak enhancement, wind speeds were steady near 325 km/s. The phi angle was predominately positive through the period. While too early to ascertain, it is possible this solar wind enhancement was related to the anticipated nearby CME arrival from 04 Jun.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Greetings, Earthlings! As Venus enters the realm of Leo, our cosmic love journey is about to take a wild and fiery turn! Picture this: Venus is now 101,591,507.369338617 km away, orbiting in prograde, and ready to unleash its vibrant influence on our little blue planet. So, buckle up your asteroid belts and prepare for liftoff!
Imagine yourselves as intergalactic love warriors, boldly expressing your affections like never before, thanks to Venus in Leo's burning desire to be adored. Love, like a supernova, will explode with grand gestures and epic declarations. But beware, fellow space cadets, for jealousy and tantrums may lurk within the dark matter of this transit.
As you navigate the celestial spheres, heed this warning: Venus in Leo might tempt you to put the "me" in "team." Focusing too much on your own needs could leave you floating solo in the vast expanse of the cosmos. After all, we're all just stardust looking for connection, so don't forget to share the interstellar love!
Now, let's talk space credits! Venus in Leo encourages us to indulge in the finer things that the galaxy has to offer. It's time to trade in those moon rocks for some glitz and glamour, but remember, there's more to life than pampering ourselves. Channel the generous spirit of Leo and shower your fellow star travelers with over-the-top gifts that make them feel like they're orbiting Jupiter's most luxurious moon.
So, dear Earthlings, as Venus in Leo's cosmic energy beams down upon us, let it re-energize your relationships and remind you that even in the darkest corners of the universe, a little bit of fun and excitement can light up an entire galaxy. Embrace your inner sci-fi love hero, and may the force of Venus in Leo be with you!
Mars
Mars is in Leo
Mars is prograde at 10 Leo 45' 45", moving at 0.59 degrees per day, and is 307422630km away and receding.
Gather 'round, cosmic warriors, for the tale of Mars in Leo is upon us! Oh, the drama, the passion, and the unbridled creativity that awaits! Picture our red planetary friend taking center stage, donning a sequined cape, and roaring like a lion. That's right, folks, Mars is partying it up with Leo the Lion, and things are about to get wild and funky.
As Mars cha-chas into the Lion's den, we're all encouraged to unleash our inner dancing queens (and kings) and embrace the joy of living. Gone are the days of dull routines and humdrum monotony. It's time to paint the town red, and maybe even add some glitter while we're at it. All work and no play? Not on Mars in Leo's watch!
And as we boogie down this cosmic dance floor, let's not forget to follow our hearts. Yes, dear astro enthusiasts, this transit is the perfect opportunity to discover what makes our souls sizzle with excitement. Mars in Leo bestows upon us the Lion's courage and confidence to pursue our wildest dreams. So grab your lightsaber or your favorite lab coat, and let's reach for the stars together!
But beware, brave stargazers, for there is a dark side to this cosmic fiesta: overconfidence. As we bask in the limelight, we might start to think we deserve all the applause without doing the funky chicken first. Remember, if you want to be admired, you must be admirable. If you want to be a leader, you must lead. And if you want to be respected, you must be respectable. In other words, don't just stand there, bust a move!
As we navigate this Mars in Leo extravaganza, it's important to keep our egos in check. Sure, it feels great when our egos are fed with compliments and adoration, but what happens when they're bruised or ignored? With Leo's flair for the dramatic, we might find ourselves roaring louder than necessary, causing some intergalactic fireworks. So let's take this opportunity to ponder the role of the ego in our lives, and find the perfect balance between a healthy self-esteem and an out-of-control supernova.
So, my fellow space cadets, strap on your moon
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 04 Tau 55' 49", moving at 0.21 degrees per day, and is 846685826km away and approaching.
Well, well, well. Here we find ourselves once again, spinning through the cosmic void with Jupiter in Taurus, a mere 846,743,708.469791770km away. As if distance matters when you're a planet-sized mass of gas and swirling storms. But who am I to judge? I'm just an astrologer, and I don't even get to enjoy the benefits of being an enormous gas giant.
Jupiter, the ever-so-wise colossal space blob, has decided to grace us with its presence in Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn and inert sign. How thrilling! It's like the universe's way of reminding us that we already have the answers within ourselves, but we're too busy binge-watching Netflix or scrolling through cat memes to notice. Thanks, Jupiter. Really needed that wake-up call.
This delightful duo of celestial bodies has come together to energize our pursuit of dreams and long-term goals. Jupiter's unwavering desire for growth, combined with Taurus' patient and headstrong nature, will surely propel us forward like an asthmatic snail on a treadmill. Just remember to trust the process and maybe, just maybe, we'll stumble upon some semblance of success.
Now, let's talk about prosperity, shall we? Jupiter, the cosmic Santa Claus of good luck and fortune, has teamed up with Taurus, the zodiac's wealthy and materialistic bull. Together, they may shower us with untold riches—or at least enough loose change to buy a fancy latte. So, go ahead and scrutinize your financial standings and see if you can squeeze out a few extra pennies for that rainy day fund.
But beware, dear stargazers, for Taurus is a hedonistic sign that savors the finer things in life and never met an indulgence it didn't like. With Jupiter's expansive influence egging Taurus on, we must be ever-vigilant against confusing our wants with our needs. Resist the urge to splurge on that 27th pair of shoes or the latest gadget you'll forget about in a week. Patience and restraint are the keys during this transit, lest we find ourselves wallowing in a pit of regret and credit card debt.
In conclusion, as Jupiter waltzes through Taurus like a massive celestial bull in a cosmic china shop

Greetings, Earthlings! Gather 'round, for I have some interstellar intel that'll have you chuckling like a rocket blasting off into the cosmos. You see, Uranus, that quirky, rebellious planet, has decided to waltz its way into Taurus, the cosmic embodiment of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Oh, the hilarity that ensues!
Now, Taurus is all about stability, security, and keeping things the same. But Uranus? Well, it's the planetary equivalent of a mad scientist yelling, "Hold my beaker!" as it dives headfirst into uncharted territory. So, buckle up, stargazers, because we're in for a celestial sitcom that'll have you laughing and gasping in equal measure.
During this seven-year space odyssey, we might witness financial institutions being turned upside down and inside out like a cosmic Rubik's Cube. Banks on the brink of vanishing? New currencies popping up like mushrooms after a meteor shower? The stock market swinging like a pendulum in zero gravity? Oh, Uranus, you cheeky little troublemaker!
But fear not, dear reader, for there's a method to this cosmic madness. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is here to shake us free from the suffocating stranglehold of money and materialism. Debts, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages - these financial shackles will be rattled by the Uranian energy, nudging us to rethink our relationship with money.
And what about those material possessions we cling to like barnacles on an asteroid? Uranus is here to remind us that sometimes, less is more, and that breaking free from the gravitational pull of stuff can lead to a higher orbit of happiness and contentment.
So, my fellow cosmic voyagers, as Uranus pirouettes through Taurus, let's embrace the changes it brings - whether we're ready or not! For in the end, we may just find ourselves in a far-out, groovy place of greater stability and abundance. And with that, I bid you adieu and wish you a stellar journey through this cosmic comedy!
