20 January, 2024


Solar activity was low with C-class flare activity observed. Region 3559 (N26E46, Dao/beta) underwent minor growth and new Region 3561 (S16E11, Cao/beta) was numbered this period. The remaining regions were either stable or in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected in available coronagraph imagery.

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 weakly enhanced this period due to continued, but waning positive polarity CH HSS influences. Solar wind speeds decreased from a high of around 500 km/s to end-of-period values near 400 km/s. Total field strength ranged 4-9 nT and Bz varied +6/-7 nT. The phi angle was positive.

There is a 20% 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.


The waxing moon is currently in Taurus, at 25 degrees, 49' 01", at a velocity of 13.19 degrees per day.

The Waxing Gibbous moon is currently 9.5 days old. It is 377566.03 km from the centre of the Earth.

Moon Is In Taurus

Ahoy, celestial voyagers! Set your astrological phasers to fascinating because the Moon, that glowing cosmic cheese wheel, is currently nestled in the comfy armchair of Taurus. It's as if the universe hit the "pause" button on Star Trek during a Captain Picard monologue, insisting we all take a moment to appreciate the finer, more sensual aspects of life – like Earl Grey tea, hot. And yes, I did just say sensual. This is Taurus we're talking about, after all. Now, at this very moment, our lunar buddy is approximately 383,075.272660868km away, give or take a few. That's only about three times the distance of a round trip to the Delta Quadrant and back, so no biggie. It's practically next door in cosmic terms. But don't get too comfortable in your space hammocks, folks. Over the next 24 stardates – I mean, hours – our moon is packing up its space suitcases and taking a warp speed journey to Gemini. And you thought your daily commute was tough! What does this mean for you? Well, think of it like this: If Taurus is like lounging in Ten Forward with a nice glass of Romulan ale, then Gemini is like being trapped in a Holodeck simulation with the Emergency Medical Hologram. Things are about to get interesting, my friends. So, whether you're a Vulcan, a Klingon, or just a humble human, remember to enjoy the cosmic ride. The universe, just like a good Star Trek episode, is full of surprises. And remember, in the immortal words of Spock, "Change is the essential process of all existence." So, buckle up, space cadets. It's going to be a heck of a trip!

Mercury

Mercury is prograde at 07 Cap 19' 11", moving at 1.28 degrees per day, and is 171290785km away and receding.

Mercury In Capricorn: The Galactic CEO

Greetings, celestial voyagers! Picture Mercury, that speedy little planet, like a cosmic intern who just got promoted to CEO. It's now in the sign of Capricorn, roughly 171,173,241 km away (give or take a few kilometers, we're not nitpicking). If you're wondering how this will affect you, think about the time you tried to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual. Utter chaos, right? Well, fear no more. Capricorn, the Warren Buffet of the zodiac, is all about efficiency and success, even when the assembly instructions are written in hieroglyphics. Under its influence, Mercury helps us streamline our thoughts like a well-organized Pinterest board. Ideas that once seemed as scattered as a spilled bag of Skittles suddenly align in a beautiful rainbow of logic. Now, my friends, is the time to act on those ideas. No more procrastinating, no more "I'll start tomorrow" promises. Think of your ideas as LEGO blocks — it's time to build that masterpiece you've been daydreaming about during those long board meetings. But remember, dear stargazers, this transit isn't all sunshine and daisies. While Capricorn encourages direct communication, it has a tendency to be as subtly controlling as a micromanaging boss. Be mindful of your tone during conversations. We all think our ideas are the next sliced bread during Mercury in Capricorn, but if we spend too much time pulling rank, we'll end up with a lot of half-baked plans. And hey, let's not forget, Mercury is currently prograde, so it’s like Mercury is not only the CEO but also the most proactive employee of the month. So, strap on your cosmic seatbelts and prepare for a productive ride. Don't worry about the speed, we've got Mercury at the wheel!

Venus

Venus is in Sagittarius

Venus is prograde at 26 Sag 10' 56", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 194091270km away and receding.

Venus Is In Sagittarius

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Just imagine me with my nerdy glasses on and a cup of cosmic coffee brewing as we embark on an interstellar journey. You see, Venus, our beloved planet of love, has decided to take a vacation in the adventurous land of Sagittarius. Now, let me tell you something about Sagittarius — it's the zodiac equivalent of that eccentric aunt who shows up at family gatherings with a suitcase full of souvenirs from her latest escapades. While Venus sashays through Sagittarius, our hearts are coaxed out of their comfort zones, encouraged to mingle, experiment, and perhaps find love in the most unexpected intergalactic corners. Think of it as the universe’s version of speed dating - but instead of a dingy bar, you're in the vast cosmos. Sagittarius, being the adventurous sign it is, has a way of making Venus crave the extraordinary. If your love life has been more like a science documentary than a rom-com, this could be the shake-up you need. We're talking exotic people, places, experiences - the whole Star Trek package. But remember, Sagittarius doesn’t like to be tied down. So, keep your love light and airy, like a helium balloon (just not one that's about to pop). Maybe take your partner to a place neither of you have been before. The moon, perhaps? Or, if you're single, don't be surprised if you find love where you least expect it. In a book club, for example. Yes, they still exist! But here's the catch: while Venus is in Sagittarius, everything might seem more grand and glittery, like a sci-fi movie with an especially generous special effects budget. But once the credits roll, you may realize it was all a bit exaggerated. That’s right, folks, sometimes even the universe can get a little carried away. And here's where we bring in the science bit: If you're not careful, your wallet could become a black hole. Sagittarius has a taste for risk, and that includes financial risk. So while you should avoid betting all your savings on an intergalactic horse race, investing in a new course of study or a travel experience could be a good idea. So, as Venus dances through Sagittarius, let's look at the bright side of everything. After all, the more positivity we radiate, the more we receive in return. Or as I like to say in astrophysics

Mars

Mars is in Capricorn

Mars is prograde at 11 Cap 43' 30", moving at 0.75 degrees per day, and is 353174414km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Capricorn

Well, gather round my star children and let me tell you a tale of the mighty Mars, currently residing in the house of Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Will this make my Wi-Fi signal stronger?" Alas, it doesn't quite work like that. You see, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is like the grand old librarian of the zodiac; it's all about structure, stability, and probably cardigans. So, when Mars, the planet equivalent of an over-caffeinated rabbit, starts lounging in Capricorn's living room, you can bet your last veggie burrito that dreams of frivolous escapades and impulsive online shopping sprees are going to be replaced with a sudden desire to clean your inbox or finally start that project you've been putting off since 2005. Mars in Capricorn is like the cosmic version of a life coach. It's going to make you question everything - from why you're still wearing those embarrassing boxers from high school, to how exactly you're planning to become a billionaire from selling handmade alien-shaped soaps on Etsy. The trick here is to channel this energy into setting clear goals and making efficient plans. Now, don’t get me wrong, both Mars and Capricorn could out-hustle a caffeinated squirrel in a nut factory. This hardworking combo is perfect for starting new projects or dusting off that half-finished novel titled “Love in the Time of Quantum Physics”. But remember, if you find yourself stepping on others in your ambitious climb up the corporate ladder, be careful not to lose your humanity amidst the stars. So, dear Starlings, as Mars hangs out in Capricorn's pad, take some time to set some goals, make some plans, and maybe even do a little spring cleaning in your life. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground, your head in the stars, and your heart in the right place. And please, for the love of all things galactic, change those boxers!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 06 Tau 16' 31", moving at 0.07 degrees per day, and is 714914027km away and receding.

Jupiter In Taurus: The Ultimate Space Opera

Alright, space cadets, grab your telescopes and clear your schedules because Jupiter has parked itself in Taurus! That's right, the gas giant of wisdom, Jupiter, has decided to vacation in the star-studded realm of our bull-headed friend, Taurus. Now, I know what you’re thinking: "Why should I care?" Well, let me explain.

Imagine Jupiter as your favorite science professor who's just returned from his sabbatical, armed with a treasure trove of knowledge to share. Meanwhile, Taurus is like that quiet kid in the class who always seems to be doodling but somehow gets all the answers right. When these two forces collide, it's like a cosmic crash course in spirituality and introspection.

It's a time to channel your inner Einstein and dive deeper into the mysteries of life, to push past the Instagram notifications and Candy Crush invites that usually distract you. It's a time to awaken that wise sage within you who's been napping off a pizza coma!

But don't think this celestial event is all about somber contemplation. Oh no, it's also a grand opportunity to make some progress on those dreams you've been snoozing on! With Jupiter's intoxicating ambition and Taurus' stubborn determination, you'll find yourself making to-do lists longer than a CVS receipt and ticking off boxes like there's no tomorrow.

Did I mention the possibility of hitting the cosmic jackpot? Jupiter is like the Powerball of planets and Taurus is your winning ticket. This combination could have your bank account singing hallelujah if played right. But remember, Taurus can be a bit of a diva when it comes to indulgence. So, don't go spending your future fortune on alien abduction insurance just yet.

In short, Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic rock concert. It's loud, it's chaotic, but man, it's a blast! So, buckle up, space cadets. It's going to be one heck of a ride!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 05 Pis 08' 15", moving at 0.11 degrees per day, and is 1573270018km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn In Pisces: A Cosmic Comedy Show

Well, would you look at that! Saturn, our friendly neighborhood taskmaster, has slipped into Pisces like an introverted nerd who somehow ended up at the biggest rave party of the year. Don't worry, Saturn, we've all been there. You're not alone, even if you're currently 1,573,220,165.780639887km away from home. (Yes, I actually calculated that. I'm a nerd, remember?)

So folks, this is the time to grab your comfy slippers, put on a pot of coffee, and indulge in some good ol' introspection. You know, those dreams you've always had about starting a cat yoga studio or writing the next great fantasy novel? Yeah, those ones. Whip out your trusty notebook and start jotting down ideas because Saturn in Pisces is like having a personal life coach - albeit, one that's a stickler for the rules.

Now, don't get me wrong, Saturn in Pisces isn't exactly a relaxing vacation on a Caribbean beach. No siree. It's more like having a stern dad who barges into your room without knocking, ignoring all your "Keep Out" signs. He's just here to help you tidy up your messy thoughts, so let him in. We all know his advice can be as helpful as a pocket protector in a physics exam, no matter how annoying it may be.

And speaking of exams, with all this conscious attention in the Piscean realm, which is associated with sleep and dreams, you might feel as restless as a caffeinated squirrel. This is a great time to cultivate inner calm: meditate, go for a forest bath, do some deep breathing exercises, or maybe even take a nap. Just remember, keep a dream journal handy! Your subconscious might be trying to tell you something. And remember to get a full night's sleep - you don't want to end up sleepwalking and accidentally discover a new constellation (though that could be cool).

So, friends, let's use this transit of Saturn in Pisces to our advantage. Let's dream big, plan wisely, and stay open to the wisdom that the universe is ready to share. And remember, no matter how serious life gets, always find time to laugh at the cosmic comedy unfolding around us.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 19 Tau 06' 36", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 2881412042km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

All right, folks, grab your telescopes and strap on your space boots because Uranus is in Taurus and it's shaking things up like a cosmic maraca! Let's get down to brass tacks here: Taurus, you're a fine old chap, you love your routine, your stability and those lovely pound notes in your wallet. You'd rather watch a Star Trek marathon than face any sudden changes. But guess what? Uranus doesn't care about your feelings more than Spock cares about tribbles. This big blue ice giant, who’s chilling at a cool 2,881,338,389.88 km away, is all about the unexpected. It's like a surprise party where the guests are changes and the cake is your status quo. Get ready to blow out those candles and make a wish for resilience because this is one party you can't leave early. Now, money, that's your game, Taurus. But Uranus is about to play musical chairs with your financial system. Imagine the next seven years as a high-stakes game of Monopoly. We might see more new forms of currency than episodes in a Doctor Who season, banks could be twirling around like a dervish, and the housing and stock markets might just do the "Time Warp" again. And on a personal level? Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, encouraging us to declutter our lives from the bonds of money and material possessions. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages - they're all going into the black hole of change. It's not just a suggestion, it's an interstellar mandate. Remember, Uranus isn't some villain, twirling his mustache and laughing at your turmoil (that's more Pluto's style). No, it's here to liberate us, like the Doctor arriving just in the nick of time. So, let's not be like those stubborn Daleks, digging our heels in and resisting. Embrace the change, because as any Whovian knows, regeneration can lead to a much better incarnation. In the end, Uranus just wants us to boldly go where no Taurus has gone before. And who knows? We might just find that this ride through the cosmos brings us to a place of greater stability, more long-lasting than a Time Lord's lifespan. So, hop in the TARDIS of change, Taurus, and let's see where the universe takes us!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 27' 13", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4554566108km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, cosmic travelers! Prepare your starship and set your phaser to 'enlighten', because we've got a stellar scoop for you! Neptune has decided to take a leisurely swim in the cosmic sea of Pisces, and it's making waves, ripples and possibly a few splashy cannonballs in our emotional ponds. And let me tell you, its distance of approximately 4,554,509,334.332724571km away doesn't stop it from being the life of the celestial party! Neptune, the mysterious blue orb, known for its love of dissolving boundaries (it's like the cosmic version of a rebel teenager), merges with Pisces, the zodiac's guru of emotions and spirituality. It's like attending a fascinating lecture by a quantum physicist on the nature of reality...while sitting in a hot tub. The result? A pair of cosmic glasses that allow us to see past the mundane squabbles and grievances of life. It's like getting an upgrade to your spaceship's deflector shields, so you can boldly go where no man or woman has gone before - into a realm where unity and collective progress shine brighter than a supernova. But it's not just about seeing this enlightened path, oh no. Neptune in Pisces is handing you the captain's chair and asking, "What can YOU contribute to this interstellar journey?" Everyone's got their unique warp core of talents, dreams and skills; it's time to engage them at full speed. Perhaps this is the moment to explore new spiritual frontiers or set up a sacred space in your personal quarters (or even a holodeck if you're fancy). Let your thoughts drift to distant galaxies, and consider how you can beam these ideas back to Earth. Be sure to remember, though, that this isn't like a Romulan cloaking device. Neptune in Pisces doesn't want you to hide; it wants you to share, to connect, to unify. So, buckle up, space cadets, because this cosmic journey is just beginning, and Neptune is your co-pilot for this mission of enlightenment. Beam me up, Scotty!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto will change from Capricorn to Aquarius in the next 24 hours.

Pluto is prograde at 29 Cap 58' 29", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 5373328330km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Alright, Earthlings! Strap in, because the cosmic roller coaster is about to take a wild turn. Pluto, our favorite misfit planet (or dwarf planet, for the pedantic among us) is doing its cosmic tango in Capricorn for another day before it sashays into Aquarius. Today, we're focusing on the oh-so-serious sign of the Goat. Now, you may be thinking, "Pluto and Capricorn? That's like putting Spock at a disco party!" And you're not wrong! Pluto, the brooding loner of our solar system, and Capricorn, the ambitious, no-nonsense taskmaster, together make a power couple that doesn't have time for your nonsense. They're here to get stuff done, even if it means throwing a few metaphorical elbows. During this transit, you might find yourself caring less about others' opinions and more about achieving results. Kind of like when you're playing Monopoly and suddenly realize Grandma isn't the sweet old lady you thought she was, but a ruthless property mogul who'll bankrupt you for landing on her hotel-riddled Park Place. Pluto, in all its dark and mysterious glory, wants us to let go of things that aren't working. It's a bit like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to toss out what doesn't 'spark joy'. Except, in this case, it's more about chucking out negative patterns rather than that horrid sweater Aunt Mildred knitted for you last Christmas. Remember, destruction can be creative. Just ask any toddler or Godzilla. So, there you have it. Pluto in Capricorn. It's a bit like attending an intergalactic board meeting while wearing tie-dye. It's serious, it's quirky, and it's definitely going to shake things up. So, put on your cosmic hard hat and prepare for a day of constructive destruction. And remember, no matter how far away Pluto may be (I'm talking 5,373,325,522.063078880km away), its influence is just a cosmic heartbeat away.

Current Planetary Positions

The Sun

Sun Trine Moon

There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony with women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.

When the Sun and Moon are in harmonious aspect, you may not be prepared for conflict and could be inclined to avoid rocking the boat. You may give in a little too often, if only to maintain a feeling of balance and harmony, as conflict is something not only disliked, it’s something you might fear. The tendency towards too much acceptance (of the self and of others) is most prominent with the trine. Question life, or run the risk of taking things for granted.

The Sun

Sun Conjunct Pluto

You may feel strong forces at work today, forces of will, power, transformation, and regeneration. These forces might manifest as a desire to build or create something new or to make some sweeping change in your life. They might also appear in some sort of power play or desire to control someone. Realize that you can't control anyone but yourself and use the energies today to gain greater self-control and humility. Ego conflicts can be intense today.

Venus

Venus Square Neptune

You may be deluding yourself today especially where relationships are concerned. You are probably thinking with your heart rather than with your head and this can lead to all sorts of trouble. You may be too willing to sacrifice too much for your loved one. Things are not as they appear regarding affairs of the heart and you would do well to keep your feet on the ground. Avoid wishful thinking and unrealistic fantasies. Stop playing the martyr.This aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being “in love with love” is a strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It’s hard to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low. On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviors in their partners that others wouldn’t accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships. Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work.The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves them when in reality that person doesn’t return the affection. Or, they may cling to a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit. Yet another Venus-Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus-Neptune people are drawn to victim/savior relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or savior! Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and eventually feel used.The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them “safe” from a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their own vulnerability in love.Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or account for their belongings. They may have problems with “borrowing from their future” because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest in unrealistic projects.Alternate Interpretations:^In square aspect to Neptune, your Venusian expression takes on an otherworldly quality. Your yearning may be for that perfect lover whose spirituality, passion, purity of spirit and drive all stem from the highest possible level. Loving in such a manner would seem to remove you from the bondage of ordinary life and transport you into true bliss. Although this seems possible in fairy tales or movies, it’s really difficult to find those elements in another human being. You may also operate under the illusion that you must first sacrifice yourself before you are worthy of love. It’s all too easy to project unrealistic feelings onto your lover, and it is just as tempting to try to alter yourself to please a man so that he will love you. Whether those alterations are in your behavior, your appearance or your attitudes, if you submerge your real self beneath the illusions of what you feel will make you more lovable, you’re selling out. If you want to experience the ecstasy you dream about, you’ll surrender to a love which honors your real needs and learn to avoid situations where you become addicted, co-dependent, victimized or abused. Forgiving the shortcomings of the man you love is one thing; allowing him to deceive or victimize you is another! Know when and how to give help, but be careful of emotional rescue ventures!^Your projections about the man you love frequently overshadow the real person with Venus in opposition to Neptune. Even though you may not want to admit it, you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you’re in love. That feeling of being transported into another world when you’re in love is actually quite accurate. But it’s not the guy who’s gotten you there all by himself – it’s the energy inside you that allows you to soar! It’s not easy to separate your dream lover from the real person standing before you. You may always project some of your own power and tenderness onto the man you love. As long as you can allow the reality of the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because he’s the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that he is what you really need – or that he’s REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right man will be attracted to you, you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love, but when your heart is filled with love, you’re willing to drop all your boundaries and merge completely. There’s a difference between a soul connection and codependency or emotional addiction. It’s drawing the line that’s difficult. By allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional boundaries reasonably intact.Alternate, short interpretation: Venus square Neptune or Venus opposition Neptune: *You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to discover that no real, flesh-and-blood human being ever quite lives up to your dream image of the Perfect Love.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
