Greetings, fellow cosmic travelers! The planets are cha-cha-ing all over the sky this month, and I'm here to give you the groovy lowdown on what's going down in our out-of-this-world planetary retrograde dance party. So grab your lab coat, peace sign necklace, and let's get this starship started!
Mercury in Taurus: Can you say 'turtle-speed texting'? With Mercury chilling in Taurus, our communication style is super chillaxed. It's time to embrace the art of slow, thoughtful conversations. Warning: Overuse of emojis may cause temporary brain freeze.
Venus in Gemini: Love and socializing are like a game of Twister – fun, flirty, and oh-so-twisted. Let's get social with our multiple personalities and have some good ol' fashioned mingling. But remember, no double-texting!
Mars in Cancer: Feeling a little crabby? No worries, my cosmic compadre. Mars in Cancer has us all a bit moody, but it's the perfect time to channel that energy into some therapeutic baking or binge-watching your favorite sci-fi series. Just don't forget the tissues and popcorn.

The Solar System at a Glance
Solar wind parameters were indicative of continued, elevated solar wind speeds, with likely contribution from an isolated negative polarity CH HSS. Total IMF strength averaged 5 nT and the Bz component was variable, but with more prolonged periods of southward direction the first half of the reporting period. Solar wind speed averaged about 500 km/s and the phi angle was predominantly negative, with oscillations between sectors later in the period.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
