9 August, 2024


Solar activity has reached high levels with six M-Class flares and one X-Class flare over the period. All M-Class flares were below M5 and originated from either 3781 (N14E26, Dsc/beta-gamma-delta) or 3777 (S09W19, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta). The X1.3/2b flare at 08/1935 UTC had an associated 1026 km/s Type II radio sweep and originated near S05W23 which is in the leader spot of Region 3777. This specific region has evolved quite a bit with both the leader and trailer spots shearing into two smaller spots which likely lead to the X-Class flare. It has lost its ring structure but will continue to have high chances for flaring due to its delta configuration.

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 have been at nominal levels throughout the period. Total magnetic field strength has risen slightly to around 6 nT with the Bz component variable between +/- 5 nT. Solar winds remained steady around 380 km/s until roughly 08/1800 UTC when it has slowly started to decline to around 350 km/s. The phi angle has remained in a negative (towards the Sun) configuration.

There is a 10% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 45% chance of a moderate event, and a 10% chance of a strong event.


The waxing moon is currently in Libra, at 10 degrees, 13' 09", at a velocity of 11.77 degrees per day.

The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 4.4 days old. It is 405400.95 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 1:56:45, 3 Sep, 2024. The next full moon is at 2:36:43, 18 Sep, 2024.

Moon Is In Libra

Ah, my delightful celestial wanderers! Gather around as I share the cosmic whispers of our dear neighbor, the Moon. Currently, it's lounging in Libra, sipping on a celestial cocktail of balance and harmony, just 402,236.260635631 km away from us. I know, I know, you're thinking, "Why can't my Postmates driver find me when the Moon can from that far away?" The universe works in mysterious ways, my friends. As we speak, our grand lunar satellite is packing its bags, ready to jump star signs, leaving the balanced scales of Libra behind for the spicy, enigmatic persona of Scorpio. Now, don't start sweating stardust just yet. This is not some cosmic game of musical chairs...or is it? Think of it more like the Moon is changing its Netflix profile - from the calm and collected 'romantic drama' fan of Libra to the 'edge-of-your-seat thriller' enthusiast of Scorpio. A change of pace, a new perspective, and possibly, a reason to finally clean your room. You never know when Scorpio's intensity might inspire a sudden bout of productivity...or perhaps the sudden urge to solve a crime mystery. So keep an eye on the sky, stargazers. Things are about to get a little more exciting up there! As your friendly neighborhood astrologer, I recommend stocking up on popcorn and maybe a detective's hat. The stars are aligning for a thrilling show, and who are we to refuse a front-row seat? Remember, the universe has a way of balancing things out. Even if it is by moving a ginormous galactic rock around a few million kilometers in space.

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is retrograde at 03 Vir 22' 35", moving backwards at 0.36 degrees per day, and is 95113580km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Mercury in Virgo: A Detailed Dance in the Cosmos

Alright, all you astrologically-attuned beings out there, get ready to clasp your hands and loosen your tongues because Mercury has slipped on its dancing shoes and is doing the cha-cha right into Virgo! This is like a cosmic version of Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory getting a PhD in 'How to Party'. Mercury, our planet of communication, has checked into the Virgo Inn for a short stay, and boy, is it going to get detailed up in here!

Imagine your mind as a hurricane of post-it notes, scribbled with everything from your grocery list to the height of Mount Everest (because, you never know when that might come up in a conversation, right?). Now picture Virgo entering the scene, like a boss, armed with a shredder, an organizer, and a cup of the strongest black coffee. Virgo is here to help you sort through the chaos, plucking out the unnecessary noise and leaving us with a crisp, clean, and concise mental space. It's like spring cleaning for your brain!

Productivity becomes our middle name during this transit. It’s akin to being gifted a shiny new robot assistant who can take all your wild, wandering thoughts and streamline them into a finely-tuned to-do list. We're talking about a time of great forward moonwalks here; no more running on the hamster wheel of dead-end ideas or conversational cul-de-sacs.

But remember, fellow star-gazers, with great power comes great responsibility. Yes, we're looking at you, Spiderman. During Mercury in Virgo, our inner critic may want to grab the megaphone and start shouting faults from the rooftops. But hold up! Let's not turn into the Simon Cowell of our social circles. It's important to remember the difference between being discerning and just plain rude. Be careful with your words, folks. We need to serve up our opinions like a gourmet meal, not a fast-food insult burger.

So, in the words of Spock, 'Live long and prosper' under this transit, and remember, Mercury in Virgo is about precision, not perfection!

Venus

Venus is in Virgo

Venus is prograde at 05 Vir 06' 52", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 241220795km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Virgo

Greetings, my celestial comrades! Take a deep breath and adjust your kaleidoscope glasses because we're going to venture into the cosmos where Venus is currently chillin' in Virgo. An astoundingly exact 120,983,603.256458908km away, but who's counting, right? Now, Venus in Virgo is kind of like that friend who becomes a bit too health-conscious after watching a single documentary on Netflix. Suddenly, they're scrutinizing every ingredient in their meals and lecturing you on the evils of gluten. In the same vein, when our dear Venus parks itself in Virgo, it's like it puts on these microscopic love goggles. This celestial spectacle urges us to sift through the particles of our relationships, weighing every pro and con on an atomic scale. If you've been ignoring any glaring red flags in your love life, now's the time they'll get magnified. And if you're single, don't be surprised if you find yourself more attracted to the office printer than any potential suitors. But here's the kicker: this doesn't mean you should go around nitpicking your partner's every move. It's not about turning into a relationship detective, but rather using this planetary shift for some constructive dialogue. Remember, nobody likes a cosmic buzzkill. Despite all the talk of analysis and scrutiny, Venus in Virgo isn't as clinical as it sounds. It's still a passionate transit. Think of it as a hipster coffee shop date—maybe a little reserved, definitely particular, but still oozing with understated sensuality. After all, Virgo is an earth sign, deeply connected with the sensual pleasures of life, be it food, art, nature, or...ahem...extracurricular activities. So, as Venus moonwalks from Virgo to Libra in the next 24 hours, remember to keep your heart and mind open, but also be discerning. And for heaven's sake, don't let a little gluten spoil the fun! Until next time, keep looking up, my celestial friends. Remember: the cosmos has your back (and your heart). Peace out!

Mars

Mars is in Gemini

Mars is prograde at 13 Gem 08' 52", moving at 0.66 degrees per day, and is 232815611km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Gemini

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up your spaceship seatbelts and hold onto your telescopes, because Mars has just jetted into Gemini territory. That's right, folks, the fiery planet of action and desire is now in the constellation of the Twins. Now, y'all might be wondering, "What does this mean for me?" Well, let's break it down Flash Gordon-style. Imagine Mars as the action hero of our solar system, always raring to go on a new adventure. And Gemini? Well, they're like the quirky sidekick with an endless bag of tricks and a curiosity that knows no bounds. So, when these two team up, you can expect nothing less than an intergalactic roller coaster ride! With Mars in Gemini, it’s like we've been given a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory - there's so much to see, do, learn, and explore that we can't help but jump from one thing to the next. We're like kids in a candy store, or rather, nerds in a comic book convention. The challenge here, my friends, is not to get lost in the labyrinth of possibilities. Remember, even a time-traveling DeLorean needs a map to reach its destination. But hey, don't fret if Plan A goes awry – in true Gemini style, we've got backup plans B, C, and D ready to roll out in no time. Versatility is the name of the game, and we're playing to win. Now, let’s talk about love, baby. While Mars is in Gemini, the brain becomes the ultimate aphrodisiac. The way to someone's heart is through their mind - sparking intellectual conversations, sharing ideas, debating theories... it's all foreplay! So, whether you're wooing a Vulcan or a Wookie, remember: a great mind is a real turn-on. In conclusion, my star-gazing friends, Mars in Gemini is about embracing change, seeking knowledge, and valuing mental stimulation. It's about being quick on your feet, flexible with your plans, and open to new experiences. So, prepare for lift-off and let the cosmic winds guide you to uncharted territories. And remember, as Flash Gordon would say, "We only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!" Until next time, keep your telescopes pointed towards the stars and your minds open to the universe. Happy stargazing, space cadets!

Jupiter

Jupiter Is In Gemini

Jupiter in Gemini: The Cosmic Comedy Show

Alright, star gazers, buckle up. Jupiter's pulled into Gemini's driveway and it's not just for a quick cup of sugar. It's like the universe's version of an intellectual house party! You know, the kind where you end up debating quantum physics with a philosophy major dressed like Albert Einstein at 2 AM. That's the kind of party Jupiter and Gemini throw together.

Jupiter is the Professor Dumbledore of planets, always encouraging us to expand our minds, while Gemini, our cosmic chatterbox, is the kid in the front row with their hand perpetually raised. "What's this? What does it mean? Why is it like that?" Yes, Gemini, we get it, you're curious. But this combo can leave us feeling like we just ran a mental marathon… in moon boots... uphill.

But hey, it's not all cerebral sweat and tears. Gemini's diversity adds technicolor to Jupiter’s intellectual black and white TV. Suddenly, we're not just at a crossroads, we're at the center of a cosmic spaghetti junction, with paths, shortcuts, bridges, and even a wormhole or two. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but every page leads to more options.

And let's talk about the talk. Gemini is the social butterfly of the zodiac, flitting from one conversation to another. With Jupiter in town, everyone's got a dose of the cosmic giggles. Our witty repartee will be sharper than Sagittarius’s arrows, and we’ll find ourselves with more ideas than there are stars in the sky (okay, maybe not that many, but you get the idea).

While Jupiter is playing roommate with Gemini, expect to be busier than a Mars rover. We’ll be gobbling up information like a black hole, spitting out brilliant ideas like supernovae. The challenge will be to keep all those cosmic juggling balls in the air.

So, folks, as Jupiter swings through Gemini's starry neighborhood, remember to keep your mind as open as a satellite dish and as flexible as a space-time continuum. The floodgates of possibilities are about to unhinge. So whether you're pondering life's big questions or just deciding on pizza toppings, embrace the cosmic comedy that comes with this celestial transit. After all, we could all use a good

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 18 Pis 08' 44", moving backwards at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 1315108247km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn In Pisces: E.T. Phone Home... Or Maybe Just Call Your Therapist

Alright, fellow stargazers, do you feel that? That's Saturn in Pisces and it's the perfect time to put on your space snorkel and dive deep into the nebula of your inner psyche. You know that crazy idea you've been toying with? The one about starting a unicorn grooming business or writing a memoir that details your love affair with pizza? Yeah, that one! Well, now's the time to stop daydreaming and start doing. Saturn, AKA the cosmic taskmaster, is teaming up with Pisces, the zodiac's dreamy fish, to give you a cosmic kick in the pants.

But beware, my celestial comrades, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbow rocket rides and interstellar ice cream. Saturn is like that nosy landlord who always seems to show up unannounced. Sure, he might catch you dancing in your underwear to '80s synth pop, but he's also there to tell you to clean up your act. So, instead of slapping a "No Alien Lifeforms Allowed" sign on your door, open it up and let Saturn in. His advice might be as welcomed as a black hole at a spaceship party, but trust me, it's worth listening to.

Now, with all this intergalactic introspection going on, it's not surprising if you're feeling a little like a sleep-deprived astronaut floating aimlessly in the void. But don't despair! This is the perfect time to channel your inner Zen master. Meditate, take a moonlit stroll, practice some deep space breathing techniques, or simply take an afternoon nap (just be sure to keep that dream journal handy!). And while you're at it, maybe hit the hay a bit early. You've got a universe inside you to explore and trust me, it's way more exciting than the latest episode of "Keeping Up with the Klingons".

So, in conclusion, embrace the lessons that Saturn in Pisces has to deliver. They may seem as foreign as a Martian language at first, but with some patience and open-mindedness, you'll soon be navigating your own personal cosmos like a seasoned space captain. And who knows, you might even decide to finally open that unicorn grooming business after all!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 27 Tau 01' 42", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2950903707km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: A Cosmic Ride on the Bull

Alright, cosmic voyagers, brace yourselves! Uranus has swaggered into Taurus and let me tell you, this is like inviting a quantum physicist to a medieval joust. You just know it's going to get interesting!

Taurus, a zodiac sign slower than a dial-up connection in the '90s, prefers things steady and unchanging. Like binge-watching an entire series without a single plot twist or cliffhanger. But then along comes Uranus, the celestial equivalent of a software update right in the middle of your favorite game. It's disruptive, sure, but also necessary for leveling up!

Picture this: Uranus is the Spock of our solar system—logical, unemotional, and always ready to challenge the status quo. And Taurus? It's more of a Captain Kirk—passionate, loyal, and a bit stuck in its ways. This union is bound to create some Star Trek-level drama, folks!

And where does this drama unfold? In the realm of money—Taurus' favorite playground. With Uranus in Taurus for the next seven years, we're in for some revolutionary changes. Imagine cryptocurrency becoming as commonplace as ordering pizza online, banks turning into digital dinosaurs, and the housing and stock markets doing the cha-cha on a rollercoaster. Exciting or terrifying? You decide!

On a personal level, this transit is like that one episode where the crew realizes they’re trapped inside the Holodeck. We need to break free from the clutches of materialistic Borgs—debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages—and redefine our relationship with money. Resistance is futile! Uranus is here to liberate us, and even the most stubborn among us (yes, Taurus, I'm looking at you) can't stop this cosmic transformation.

So buckle up, space cadets! This is one interstellar ride that promises to shake us out of our comfort zones and lead us towards greater stability. By the time Uranus packs up and warps out of Taurus, we might just thank it for the upgrade! Beam me up, Uranus!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 29 Pis 33' 49", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4359531833km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, gather round stargazers and let me tell you a little something about our buddy Neptune who is currently sashaying its way through Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Who cares? I mean, Neptune is like 4.3 billion kilometers away, why should I give a darn?" Well, my friend, just like how we love that Wi-Fi signal from our neighbor's router, even though it's not in our living room, celestial bodies affect us from afar too! Now, Neptune in Pisces is like having a hot cup of cosmic tea, brewed with a healthy dose of emotion, a sprinkle of spirit, and a pinch of unity. Suddenly, you see the world from a new perspective, like when you finally clean your glasses after weeks of ignoring the smudges. Petty differences? Pfft, they vanish faster than my motivation to do laundry on Sundays. This combo calls for us to dig deep and figure out what we bring to the cosmic table. Maybe you're good at making people laugh, or maybe you can cook up a storm, or perhaps you're just really good at finding the best Netflix series before anyone else. Whatever it is, we all have something to contribute. This period is also the perfect time to explore your spiritual side. No, I'm not suggesting you start levitating or talking to your houseplants (unless that's your thing, then go for it). But it could be as simple as dedicating a quiet corner of your room for meditation, or really diving into that yoga practice you've been thinking about. The energy of Neptune in Pisces nudges us to share these ideas with the world. And remember, like a reliable Wi-Fi connection, Neptune's got your back during this process. So, whether you're sharing a newfound recipe, a hilarious joke, or your top pick for a binge-watch, know that Neptune is cheering you on from a mere 4.3 billion kilometers away!

Pluto

Pluto is in Aquarius

Pluto is retrograde at 00 Aqu 28' 27", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5101562037km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Alright, my cosmic crew, grab your telescopes and don those space onesies because we're venturing deep, deep into the cosmos today. We're talking Pluto-in-Aquarius deep! Now, you might be thinking, "Pluto? Isn't that the little runt they kicked out of the planet club?" Well, yes, but no. Despite its reputation for being the solar system's underdog, Pluto is a heavy hitter in astrology. It's the planet equivalent of that quiet nerdy kid in school who one day becomes a billionaire tech mogul. It's all about transformation, baby! You see, when Pluto waltzes its way into Aquarius, it's like the universe is putting on its favorite pair of dancing shoes and cranking up the volume on the cosmic jukebox. It's not just a shuffle or a two-step; it's a full-on, disco-ball-spinning, boogie-down-the-aisles kind of dance. Now, Aquarius. Ah, the water bearer. The zodiac's resident mad scientist, humanitarian, and technological whizz. When Pluto takes a vacation in Aquarius, we're not just talking about a slight change in your morning coffee order. No, this is more like swapping your regular java for an alien beverage that gives you the ability to see sound and taste colors! What does this mean for us earthlings? Well, imagine worldwide shifts in science, technology, and even space travel. Picture profound evolutions in civil rights and humanitarianism, where kindness is the new currency and empathy is as essential as air. Basically, it's like all the world leaders got together for a group hug and decided to play nice for a change. In our personal lives, Pluto in Aquarius is like that annoying gym instructor who keeps yelling, "Feel the burn!" It's urging us to transform, to rethink who we are and where we fit in this vast cosmic puzzle. It's not enough to just consider what's best for us anymore. The universe is nudging us rather forcefully to start thinking about what's best for everyone. So, are you ready to answer the call? Or are you going to let the cosmic operator keep you on hold? Remember, the future is calling, and it doesn't like to be kept waiting!

If this conjunction is challenged, you might frequently attract partners who are tricky or conniving.Many of you are talented at writing and/or speaking. You thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word, literature, wordplay, puns, and enlightening conversations. Many with Mercury conjunct Venus in their charts are downright eloquent.While most people like you, your ability to tune in to the person with whom you are currently speaking to is so strong that you might be accused of being two-faced or superficial.

Today is a good day to put into action your plans for growth, education, and expansion. Start that new project, read that new book, take a calculated risk, put energy into that new business or investment venture. There is potential reward for taking a gamble. The biggest danger with this aspect is overconfidence. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Consider getting some physical exercise today if you have more energy than you know what to do with.

Jupiter

Jupiter Square Saturn

Legal, business and professional difficulties and delays may arise during this transit. Your timing is off now. Do not make important changes at this time. Be cautious with respect to business expansion. There can be conflicts between professional and family obligations. There may be a moral crisis of some sort. You swing between optimism and pessimism. Past mistakes may come to light now and cause you trouble.You suffer because you remember your failures more than your successes and consequently have a hard time developing a picture of yourself as a winner. In this sense you were born old. However, this same quality engenders a childish quality in you that tends to look for the “quick fix”. Hard work and consistency of effort brings success for you just like it does for everyone else. Yes, you need some luck or some breaks, but these come from perspective, vision or aim in life. Work to see yourself as deserving good things in life, then be willing to put forth honest effort. — Interpretation from the Indra report.Jupiter square Saturn: *You have an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. You need to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve your aspirations. You will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.Jupiter opposition Saturn: *You tend to seesaw between hope, optimism, and faith versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. You need to overcome impatience and restlessness in order to achieve your dreams and desires for a better life.#In all your business and personal dealings you have the capacity for patience. You keep one eye on the goal and the other on the moment-to-moment activities that lead you forward. You find that while relationships are significant, periods of seclusion are needed for you to integrate the spiritual changes you are experiencing.

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.
