Solar activity was low with C-class flare activity observed this period. Region 3340 (N23W31, Ekc/beta-delta) continued to exhibit growth, especially in the intermediate spot area, while the remaining regions were stable or in decay. A filament located near S55E50 was observed slowly lifting-off over late 24/early 25 Jun with the associated CME directed well off the Sun-Earth line. EIT dimming was observed around 25/2144 UTC in SUVI 195 imagery in the vicinity of Region 3346 (N08W33, Bxo/beta). Analysis is in progress for a potential CME.
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.
The solar wind environment remained enhanced following CME passage on 24 Jun. Solar wind speeds ranged between 475-550 km/s, total field strength varied between 7-11 nT, and Bz briefly reached -9 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.

Oh, my frakking stars! Jupiter is hanging out in Taurus – or as we nerdy astrologers like to call it, "Jupi-Taurus." You see, it's not every day that a giant gas ball of wisdom like Jupiter parks its celestial RV in the lush, fertile garden of Taurus. But when it does, you can bet your sweet Cylon circuits that some serious interstellar magic is about to happen. So, grab your lab coat, strap on your safety goggles, and let's dive into this cosmic concoction of growth, patience, and prosperity.
Picture this: Jupiter, the wise, bearded professor of the galaxy, strolls into Taurus' zen den, where spirituality is as abundant as incense smoke. These two forces combine to remind us that, hey, we don't need to scour the universe for enlightenment – we've got our very own spiritual TARDIS within us. All we need to do is shake off those pesky distractions (looking at you, social media) and tap into our inner Yoda. The force has always been with us, young grasshoppers.
Now, when Jupi-Taurus gets down to business, it's like a cosmic superhero montage of achieving dreams and smashing long-term goals. With Jupiter's boundless energy and Taurus' stubborn determination, we're all being handed a universal clipboard with a to-do list that leads to success. But remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were the Death Stars. Patience is key, my space cadets.
Let's talk cold hard cash because, let's face it, even hippie astrologers need to pay the bills. Jupi-Taurus is like winning the cosmic lottery – with Jupiter's good fortune and Taurus' Midas touch, this celestial combo can bring some serious abundance to those who seek it. So, dust off that piggy bank and get ready for a financial glow-up, Earthlings!
But be warned, dear stargazers: Taurus is known for its love of indulgence (we're not judging; we all deserve a little R&R). When Jupiter, the planet of expansion, waltzes into Taurus' pleasure palace, we might find ourselves saying "yes" more than we should.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is retrograde at 07 Pis 09' 02", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1388604461km away and approaching.
These are the voyages of the starship Saturn, as it boldly goes into Pisces territory. My fellow space cadets, gather 'round your cosmic notepads and prepare for an interstellar transmission from Captain James T. Kirk himself.
As Saturn, the wise and disciplined ruler of the cosmos, enters the dreamy realm of Pisces, it's time for us to beam up our inner imaginations. Envision that beautiful planet you've always wanted to write about or the intergalactic business you've dreamed of starting. Inhale deeply and channel the cosmic energies of this mystical transit. But beware, for Saturn's retrograde may cause a disturbance in the force.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Captain, I don't want Saturn poking around in my dreams!" Well, tough tribbles, my friends. Saturn's presence in Pisces is like your dad barging into your room while you're watching Star Trek reruns in your pajamas. He's here to help, whether you like it or not. So, embrace the Klingon spirit of cooperation and let Saturn guide you through the vast universe of your deepest desires.
However, with Saturn's stern energy infiltrating the Piscean realm of sleep and dreams, you may experience some cosmic turbulence. Space insomnia, anyone? Fear not, my fellow Earthlings. This is the perfect opportunity to practice Vulcan meditation, take a peaceful stroll through the Andromeda galaxy, or indulge in some much-needed stardust napping. Just remember to keep a dream journal close by - you never know when the wisdom of the universe will come knocking.
So, as we embark on this celestial journey with Saturn in Pisces, take a moment to reflect on the immortal words of Spock: "Live long and prosper." Embrace the cosmic lessons of this transit, and may your dreams boldly go where no one has gone before.
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 21 Tau 29' 30", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 3048062252km away and approaching.
Hold on to your space hats, cosmic comrades, because Uranus is shaking things up in the steady, stable world of Taurus! Imagine a bull in a china shop, but the bull is a celestial giant and the china shop is, well, our entire earthly existence. Taurus loves stability like a cat loves a warm spot in the sun, but Uranus is about to come along and flip the whole solar system like a cosmic trampoline.
During this celestial rollercoaster, the old ways of dealing with money are about to go the way of the dinosaurs and dial-up internet. So buckle up, buttercups, because Uranus's seven-year stint in Taurus will make your piggy bank look more like a Bitcoin wallet. We might witness banks turning into futuristic vending machines, housing markets playing musical chairs, and stock markets doing the Cha-Cha Slide.
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a financial Marie Kondo, helping us declutter our lives from the burdens of debt, taxes, and that ever-growing mountain of material possessions. It's time to break free from the gravitational pull of consumerism and embrace a new relationship with our resources. Sure, it might feel like trying to walk on the moon without any gravity boots, but trust me, it's all part of the cosmic plan.
The thing is, my fellow space travelers, resistance is futile. Like trying to push back against a black hole, digging in our heels won't stop the changes Uranus has in store for us. So take a deep breath, hold onto your favorite crystals, and remember: this cosmic shake-up is here to liberate us. By the time Uranus packs its bags and moves on to the next celestial destination, we might just find ourselves in a more stable, secure place than ever before. And who knows, maybe we'll even learn how to do the Moonwalk along the way. Peace, love, and cosmic vibes!
