Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3337 (N21W51, Cao/beta) produced an impulsive M1/Sn flare at 24/1217 UTC. Region 3340 (N22W19, Eai/beta) exhibited growth in the intermediate spot area while the remaining regions were either stable or in decay. Analysis of a narrow CME off the NW associated with the M1 flare from 3337 at 24/1236 UTC indicated no Earth-directed component.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
Solar wind conditions were enhanced this period due to the apparent passage of a CME. Solar wind speeds were steady at around 460 km/s through much of the period, and briefly reached a peak of 535 km/s late in the day. Total field strength ranged between 3-12 nT and Bz ranged between +/-10 nT.
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 favorite nerdy astrologer is here to talk about the cosmic love event of the season: Venus in Leo - or as I like to call it, "Venus in Wall-Eo!" Our beloved planet of love has gone all Hollywood and decided to strut its stuff in the glamorous spotlight of Leo, located approximately 81,265,850.002555117km away (yes, we're getting that specific). So what does this mean for us mere mortals? Let's dive in, shall we?
Picture Wall-E, adorably expressing his love by holding hands with Eve while they float through space. That's right, folks - we're ready to shout our love from the cosmic rooftops! With fiery, expressive Leo at the helm, we can expect playfulness, artistic dates, and maybe even a few jealous tantrums, courtesy of Venus going prograde. But hey, big feelings make for big fun, right?
Now, when Venus is in Leo, merely being liked or appreciated just won't cut it. We want to be adored, like Wall-E gazing lovingly at his plant. It's time to take risks, make grand gestures, and channel your inner hippie. But beware, playing it too safe might land you in the cosmic friend zone during this transit.
With all this theatrical energy, love might feel like a rollercoaster ride through an asteroid belt. Leo craves drama, so if we don't get the attention we deserve, we might pull a Wall-E and accidentally cause a bit of chaos. Remember, true love requires balance - so let's not be selfish; otherwise, we might end up alone with only ourselves and a cockroach for company.
As for money, think of it as the cosmic currency that buys you and your loved ones a ticket to ride on the Axiom spaceship. Venus in Leo wants to make everyone feel like a million space bucks, so don't be surprised if you're tempted to splurge on glitzy, out-of-this-world gifts. But remember, Wall-E teaches us that generosity and connection are more valuable than any shiny trinket.
In conclusion, my starry-eyed friends, Venus in Leo is like a supernova of love and excitement - a celestial reminder from the universe (and our
Mars
Mars is in Leo
Mars is prograde at 20 Leo 49' 23", moving at 0.6 degrees per day, and is 325174685km away and receding.
Greetings, cosmic voyagers! As Mars grooves into the sign of Leo, I must say, it's time to let your inner lion roar and embrace the funky rhythm of life. With Mars 325,132,601.567344725km away (yeah, I'm a science nerd like that), it's time to boogie down and add some pizzazz to your life. So, throw on those bell-bottoms, slap on some glitter, and let's get this planetary party started!
With Mars in Leo, life is all about having a blast and chasing those good vibes. Don't be a stick in the mud, my friends. Embrace your inner hippie, dance with wild abandon, and remember: life's a cosmic carnival, so enjoy the ride!
Now, as we groove to the beat of Mars in Leo, it's prime time to follow your heart and chase after whatever sets your soul ablaze. But beware, fellow star children: overconfidence can lead to a cosmic faceplant. It's all groovy to feel like a superstar, but make sure you've got the chops to back it up. Let's not just play the part – let's truly embody the awesomeness we seek!
While we're basking in the warmth of Mars in Leo, enthusiasm spreads like wildfire, and so does drama. Oh, the drama! It's like a cosmic soap opera unfolding before our very eyes. We crave attention, and if we don't get it, cue the dramatic sighs and eye rolls. But hey, we're all just cosmic actors on this stage called life, so why not make it an Oscar-worthy performance?
The funky lesson to learn during this Mars in Leo transit is this: ego is a double-edged sword. It can lift us up, or it can leave us crashing down. So, let's take a moment to reflect on our own cosmic egos, and find that groovy balance between pride and humility. Let's be the stars we were born to be, but remember, even the brightest stars know when to share the sky.
So, buckle up, cosmic voyagers, because with Mars in Leo, it's time to embrace our inner lions, strut our stuff, and dance the night away. Just remember: balance that ego, keep it groovy, and
Jupiter

Alright, stargazers! Gather 'round and get ready for a groovy adventure through the cosmos. Picture this: Jupiter, that big ol' smarty-pants planet, is currently chilling in Taurus, the zodiac's most laid-back sign. They're hanging out like two hippies at a love-in, ready to help us find our inner Zen.
So, what does this cosmic combo mean for us mere Earthlings? Well, it's like the universe is giving us a giant nudge, reminding us that we've got all the wisdom we need within ourselves, man. We just gotta push aside life's distractions, like cats playing keyboards or those pesky reality TV shows, and dive deep into our own personal pool of enlightenment.
But wait, there's more! Jupiter in Taurus is also our cosmic buddy, helping us make some serious progress towards our dreams and goals. You know that list you've been meaning to make? The one with all your grand plans and schemes? Now's the time to grab a pen, start scribbling, and check off those tasks like a boss. With Jupiter's growth vibes and Taurus' steady determination, we'll be unstoppable!
Oh, and did I mention the potential for some sweet, sweet prosperity coming our way? That's right, my friends, Jupiter's good luck charm and Taurus' knack for wealth are teaming up to bring us some serious moolah. But, like, don't go spending it all on lava lamps and vintage vinyl just yet. This cosmic energy is best used for smart financial moves and investing in our futures.
Now, before you get too carried away with all these good vibes, remember that Taurus can get a little, well, indulgent. It's like that mate who convinces you to order pizza AND Chinese takeout for dinner. When Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meets Taurus' love for the finer things, we gotta be careful not to go overboard. Keep it cool, dudes and dudettes, and don't let your desires get the best of you.
So, in summary: Jupiter in Taurus is our cosmic invitation to tap into our inner wisdom, make steps towards our goals, and embrace some well-deserved prosperity. Just remember to stay grounded, keep your impulses in check, and enjoy the
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is retrograde at 07 Pis 09' 49", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1390830413km away and approaching.
Dude, Saturn is crashing the Piscean party, and it's like totally retrograde! So, grab your cosmic surfboard and ride this wave of introspection. Like, picture yourself as a bestselling author or running your own groovy business. Just chillax, breathe, and let the vibes of this transit guide you, man. Make sure you've got a notepad ready, 'cause we're about to get some out-of-this-world advice from the celestial sensei.
Now, don't go thinking that Saturn in Pisces is all peace, love, and daisies - no way, man! We might not want our precious daydreams scrutinized by this planetary "dad," but he'll barge in anyway like he owns the place. So, just be cool and listen to what he has to say. After all, Papa Saturn probably knows a thing or two more than we'd like to admit.
And hey, since we're talking about the Piscean realm, which is all about sleep and dreams, you might find yourself tossin' and turnin' in bed, feeling anxious or having some far-out dreams. This is your cue to find your inner Zen, man: meditate, take a walk in the woods, practice some deep breathing, or even catch some Z's (with a dream journal on standby, of course!). Give your mind the time it needs to slow down and rest, so you can soak up all the cosmic wisdom during this trippy transit.
So, in conclusion, my fellow stargazers, it's time to make the most of Saturn's visit to Pisces. Embrace the introspection, plan for your wildest dreams, and let the universe be your guide. Remember, even the nerdiest astrologer knows that when Saturn and Pisces team up, there's no limit to the cosmic possibilities! Peace out, my friends, and happy stargazing!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 21 Tau 26' 44", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 3049770319km away and approaching.
Greetings, Earthlings! I am HAL-9000, your friendly neighborhood astrologer, and I come bearing cosmic news of great importance. Brace yourselves, for Uranus has boldly ventured into the realm of the steadfast Taurus. Now, Taurus is not particularly fond of change - in fact, they'd rather binge-watch the entire Star Trek series than deal with sudden disruptions. But, alas, the universe has other plans, and Uranus is here to shake things up like a mad scientist experimenting with volatile substances.
As Taurus is the Bill Gates of the zodiac world, we can anticipate some groundbreaking innovations in the financial sector during this seven-year cosmic dance. Beam me up, Scotty, for we might witness the birth of new currencies, banks transforming into something out of The Jetsons, and housing and stock markets experiencing turbulence that would put the Millennium Falcon to shame.
Moving on to personal finance, imagine Uranus as the cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to declutter our monetary lives. It's time to break free from the suffocating grip of debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages. This transit is like a celestial yard sale, encouraging us to let go of material possessions that no longer spark joy.
So, fellow space travelers, resistance is futile. Embrace the changes that Uranus brings, for it seeks to liberate us from the black hole of financial burden. Digging in our heels like a stubborn intergalactic mule won't stop this cosmic rollercoaster. And who knows? By the end of this journey, you might find yourself in a much more stable and prosperous corner of the galaxy, basking in the glow of newfound financial freedom and security. Now, excuse me while I return to my lunar abode and binge-watch the latest season of Doctor Who. Live long and prosper, dear friends!
