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, my cosmic comrades! Gather 'round, for I have celestial news that'll make you laugh, ponder, and possibly question the fabric of reality itself (or not, but hey, it's worth a shot). The Moon - that groovy, crater-faced rock in the sky - is currently chilling in the house of Virgo. Yup, that's right! It has traveled a staggering 402,038.728341227 kilometers just to hang out with our meticulous Earth-sign buddies. Now, don't panic if you've been feeling an inexplicable urge to clean your living space or alphabetize your extensive collection of sci-fi novels. That's just the Moon's Virgo vibes tickling your inner neat freak, like a cosmic Marie Kondo. But don't get too comfy, stargazers. This lunar lounge session won't last long. In the next 24 hours, our beloved Moon will bid farewell to Virgo and slide on over to Libra, the zodiac's resident diplomat. It's like the Moon is doing its own version of Blade Runner's Roy Batty speech: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like... tears in rain." Except, you know, replace the sci-fi references with astrological ones. So, what does this mean for all you earthlings? Well, it's time to wrap up your organizational projects, say "peace out" to any lingering perfectionist tendencies, and prepare for some harmonious, Libra-inspired balance coming your way. You'll soon find yourself wanting to mediate conflicts, appreciate the beauty in life, and maybe even belt out John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" while wearing your favorite tie-dye shirt. And there you have it, my stellar friends. The Moon's journey from Virgo to Libra is a rollercoaster of tidying up, seeking balance, and embracing change. Remember to buckle up and enjoy the ride, for in this vast cosmic playground, even the Moon can't resist a little zodiac hopscotch.Mercury is in Gemini

Mercury Is In Gemini
Greetings, Earthlings! Gather 'round and lend me your ears, for I come bearing intergalactic news of cosmic proportions! Our dear friend Mercury, the celestial maestro of chit-chat and brainwaves, has found its way into the loquacious realm of Gemini. So strap on your space helmets and prepare for a mental joyride through the universe of curiosity and learning! Now, you may be wondering, "What does this mean for me, oh wise space astrologer?" Well, my fellow star children, with Mercury frolicking in the playground of Gemini, you're about to experience a supernova of intellectual awakening! Your minds will expand faster than the universe itself after the Big Bang. It's time to let your inner nerd run wild! As Mercury orbits at a distance of a whopping 192,896,992.557208896 kilometers away (yes, I counted), it's currently doing the cosmic cha-cha in a prograde motion. This planetary dance encourages us to take a deep breath of that fresh Gemini air and let our minds become as young and nimble as a newborn alien hatchling. With Mercury being the grand poobah of facts, ideas, and communication, and Gemini holding the title of "Supreme Air Sign of Detachment and Reason," their cosmic alliance creates a vortex of rapid-fire thoughts, whizzing through your neurons faster than the Millennium Falcon on hyperdrive. So, my intrepid space travelers, let the celestial force of Mercury in Gemini be your guiding star. Embrace the galactic curiosity and mental flexibility, and boldly go where no Earthling has gone before! May your minds stay forever young and your thirst for knowledge be as vast as the cosmos!Venus is in Leo

When Venus Channels Its Inner Wall-E and Enters Leo
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 in Leo: It's Time to Roar, Baby!
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 In Taurus: Cosmic Wisdom Meets the Chill Bull
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

Surfin' Saturn in Pisces
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.

Uranus In Taurus: A Space Odyssey
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!

Neptune Is In Pisces
Greetings, fellow Earthlings and stardust aficionados! Put on your grooviest pair of galactic glasses because we're about to dive into the cosmic wonder that is Neptune in Pisces. Our blue-ish buddy is currently chilling at a cool 4,456,379,722.593275070km away (give or take a few cosmic centimeters), swirling along in prograde motion like the celestial champion it is. So, what does this mean for all you fine folks? Well, imagine if Mr. Rogers and Neil deGrasse Tyson teamed up to throw a psychedelic science slumber party – that's the kind of energy we're talking about here. Neptune in Pisces is like an ethereal kaleidoscope, helping us see through the fog of our daily lives and find the hidden beauty within our own contradictions. This far-out cosmic dance is urging us to realize that arguing over who left their socks in the living room or which Avenger is the coolest is just a waste of our precious life force. Instead, let's come together like a big ol' cosmic group hug and focus on what truly matters: spreading love, light, and extra-terrestrial understanding. Now's the time to tap into your inner hippie-scientist and figure out how you can contribute to the collective good vibes of our planet. Maybe you're a master of chakra-balancing cat memes or have a knack for whipping up vegan treats that taste like they were baked by actual angels. Whatever your unique talents, Neptune in Pisces is here to help you share them with the world. So go ahead, dust off that crystal collection, enroll in that aura photography workshop, or start a blog dedicated to the spiritual teachings of Bill Nye the Science Guy. Neptune in Pisces is reminding us that the universe has got our backs – as long as we remember to keep our third eyes wide open and our hearts set on unity.

Pluto is retrograde at 29 Cap 44' 16", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5068581003km away and approaching.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Your friendly neighborhood astro-nerd here, with some out-of-this-world news for you all. It seems that our tiny, distant friend Pluto is currently in Capricorn and is retrograde - which, as we all know, means it's time to buckle up for a wild ride through the galaxy of self-improvement and interstellar success! First, let's talk numbers. Pluto is a whopping 5,068,603,652.020800591 kilometers away, give or take a few lightyears. That's far enough to make even the most seasoned space traveler feel a little homesick. But fear not, my starry-eyed friends, for Pluto's cosmic energy is still reaching us here on Earth, and it's packing a powerful punch. Now, as you may know, both Pluto and Capricorn have a bit of a reputation for being power-hungry, success-driven celestial beings. And while that can certainly lead to some impressive accomplishments, it can also make us a tad, well, self-absorbed. So, during this cosmic dance of planets, it's crucial to remember that there are other beings in the universe, with thoughts and feelings just as valid as your own. Otherwise, you might find yourself lost in a black hole of intolerance - and nobody wants that! But don't despair, dear stargazers, for Pluto's journey through Capricorn also brings with it the opportunity to shed the outdated, ineffective patterns that have been holding us back. It's a cosmic spring cleaning, if you will! And as any self-respecting astro-hippie knows, sometimes you've got to break a few cosmic eggs to make a groovy space omelet. So, embrace the constructive destruction that Pluto's retrograde brings, and be intentional about what you're leaving behind in the cosmic dust. In conclusion, my fellow space cadets, this is a time to boldly go where no man or woman has gone before in pursuit of success - but remember to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground (or, you know, whatever space rock you happen to be standing on) and show some compassion for your fellow intergalactic inhabitants. So, grab your telescopes, put on your favorite tie-dye shirts, and let's all ride the cosmic waves of Pluto's retrograde together. Peace, love, and stardust!Current Planetary Aspects
