Alright, space cadets! Strap in, we're going on a cosmic joyride. And remember, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Also, if you see any black holes, do NOT attempt a selfie.

First stop, Mercury in Sagittarius! Mercury, our quick-witted messenger planet, is hanging out with Sagittarius, the cosmic party animal. Expect your communication to be as fast and loose as a photon torpedo. And yes, you might accidentally say "Beam me up, Scotty" in a serious business meeting. Just roll with it. #MercuryInSagittarius #AccidentalStarTrekQuotes

Next, Venus in Libra! Ah, the goddess of love is back in her home sign, making everything as balanced as Spock's logic. Relationships should be more harmonious than a Vulcan mind meld. Just remember, "I'm a lover, not a fighter" is not an excuse to avoid taking out the trash. #VenusInLibra #EqualChoresEquality

Now on to Mars in Scorpio! The red planet in the sign of the scorpion? Expect passion as fiery as a dragon's sneeze. But beware, you might get a little intense...like Darth Vader intense. Remember, the force choke is NOT an acceptable conflict resolution strategy. #MarsInScorpio #NoForceChokes

Jupiter in Taurus is bringing us abundance with a side order of practicality. It's like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but the gold is actually chocolate coins. Delicious, but sadly not accepted as currency. #JupiterInTaurus #ChocolateCoinRich

Now, Saturn in Pisces might seem like a wet blanket at first. But remember, even Yoda had to meditate in the swamp to gain wisdom. So get ready for some serious introspection...or just take a really long bath. Either works. #SaturnInPisces #SwampWisdom

Uranus in Taurus is shaking things up, bringing unexpected changes. It's like teleporting without coordinates - you could end up on a tropical beach or inside a wall. Always

The moon is currently in Sagittarius, at 29 degrees, 02' 30", at a velocity of 13.73 degrees per day.

The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 2.9 days old. It is 374810.91 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 23:32:07, 12 Dec 2023. The next full moon is at 0:33:43, 27 Dec 2023.

The solar wind environment remained somewhat enhanced, likely due to proximity influences from a filament eruption that occurred on 10 Nov. Total field ranged from 4 to 8 nT, and the Bz component was mostly southward reaching sustained deflections of up to -6 nT. Solar wind speeds increased slightly from ~360 km/s to ~400 km/s at a gradual pace. Phi was primarily positive with brief excursions into a negative solar sector.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
