Planetary Retrograde Horoscope

Good celestial morning, space cadets! It's time for your interstellar weather report. This isn't your grandma's horoscope, oh no! We're steering clear of vague predictions like "You'll meet a dark, handsome stranger" or "Great fortune will come your way". Instead, we're going full throttle into the cosmic abyss, with science as our co-pilot and humor as our in-flight entertainment. Buckle up, folks! #AstroNerdAlert

Let's start with that swift-footed scamp, Mercury, who's currently doing the Virgo shuffle. If you find yourself overthinking the nutritional content of your breakfast cereal or alphabetizing your spice rack, don't worry - that's just Mercury messing about in Virgo's hyper-organized house. #MercuryInVirgo

Meanwhile, Venus is strutting her stuff in Leo, the astrological equivalent of a Vegas showgirl. Expect drama, flamboyance, and a sudden urge to bedazzle everything in sight. You might also feel the need to express your love in grand, theatrical gestures. If you don't have a lion to release in your beloved's bedroom... well, a heartfelt serenade should do. #VenusInLeo

And lo and behold, Mars is in Libra, which is a bit like a Klingon at a peace conference. If you've been feeling a bit indecisive or conflict-averse lately, that's Mars trying to play nice. Don't sweat it, these diplomatic vibes will pass. #MarsInLibra

Jupiter, the big daddy of the solar system, has taken up residence in Taurus, which means it's all about the Benjamins, baby. Or the Newtons, if you prefer your currency in scientific units. Keep an eye on your finances and maybe invest in a good truffle pig. #JupiterInTaurus

Uranus and Neptune are hanging out in Taurus and Pisces respectively, which could make things a little... weird. Expect to have some unusual dreams, perhaps involving singing fish or cows doing the tango. Don't panic, it's not a sign of madness - just a side effect of the planetary party going on upstairs. #UranusInTaurus #NeptuneInPisces

Last but not

Solar wind parameters were indicative of a mildly disturbed IMF and a return to a slow regime. Total IMF strength varied primarily from 4-8 nT, while the Bz component underwent mainly minor southward variations much of the period. Solar wind speed declined from near 350 km/s to ~325 km/s. The phi angle was mostly in a positive sector until about 28/1800 UTC, when it shifted into a negative sector.

There is a 15% 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.
