There are currently 3 planets in retrograde:

Greetings, celestial enthusiasts and potential Vulcan science officers. Allow me to navigate you through the interstellar highways of our current planetary alignment.

It appears that Mercury, the cosmic speedster, is currently gallivanting in Sagittarius. This suggests that our communications may be as direct and potentially tactless as a phaser set on stun. Be cautious, lest your words are as effective as a 'red shirt' on an away mission. #MercuryInSagittarius #SpeakSoftlyAndCarryABigStick

Venus, the goddess of love, is twirling in the arms of Libra. This could mean a greater desire for peace, harmony, and Romulan Ale. If the course of true love never did run smooth, now may be the time to adjust your navigational arrays. #VenusInLibra #LoveIsLogical

Mars, the planet of action, is also in Sagittarius. The combination of Mercury and Mars together could result in actions faster than warp speed. Remember, haste is illogical and can lead to unexpected encounters with Klingons. #MarsInSagittarius #FullSpeedAhead

Jupiter, the jovial giant, is lounging in Taurus. This alignment could bring prosperity and growth, much like Tribbles when exposed to quadrotriticale. Just ensure that your growth is sustainable and not a result of sneaky Ferengi dealings. #JupiterInTaurus #LuckBeALadyTonight

Saturn, the taskmaster, is in Pisces. This might feel like being trapped in a holodeck simulation where you're constantly tested and evaluated. Stay calm, remember your Starfleet training, and you'll pass with flying colors. #SaturnInPisces #StayCalmAndCarryOn

Uranus in Taurus can introduce sudden changes. Keep your phasers on standby and your sensors on high alert. This combination might spark innovations that could rival even the finest Starfleet technology. #UranusInTaurus #ExpectTheUnexpected

Neptune in Pisces encourages us to dive deep into our subconscious minds, much like exploring the final frontier. Be prepared for insights as profound as Spock's wisdom and as puzzling as a Vulcan mind meld. #NeptuneInPisces #MindOverMatter

The moon is currently in Cancer, at 24 degrees, 51' 59", at a velocity of 12.39 degrees per day.

The Waning Gibbous moon is currently 18.6 days old. It is 399617.07 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.

Solar wind parameters were indicative of ambient, background conditions of a slow regime for the vast majority of the period. Total IMF strength was primarily 4-5 nT, with early occasions of 6 nT. The Bz component underwent mainly weak deviations. Solar wind speed began the period near 400 km/s and slowly declined to near 350 km/s. The phi angle reflected a positive sector. At the very end of the summary period, a weak enhancement pushed total field to 11 nT, Bz saw a southward deflection to -11 nT, and wind speeds increased to near 460 km/s.

There is a 3% chance of solar activity, with a 20% chance of a minor event, a 20% chance of a moderate event, and a 55% chance of a strong event.
