There is currently only one planet in retrograde:

Your Cosmic Update

Well, folks, it seems like the planetary party is currently happening in Sagittarius! Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all hanging out there, probably debating philosophy or planning a road trip. No doubt trying to one-up each other on who can be more adventurous. #PlanetParty #SagittariusSoiree

Meanwhile, Jupiter, the king of the planetary realm, is chilling in Taurus, probably indulging in some delicious cosmic cuisine or lounging on a comfy asteroid. Because why not? Life's too short for dieting, even if you're a giant gas planet. #JupiterJustDontCare

Over in Pisces, Saturn and Neptune are likely having an abstract art contest or writing poetry. Saturn might be getting a little existential though. Poor guy, always thinking about reality's harsh structures. Chill out, dude! You're a planet, not a philosophy professor. #SaturnExistentialCrisis

Uranus is also in Taurus, probably trying to start a revolution in the culinary world by inventing zero-gravity soufflés or something. Go figure. #RevolutionaryUranus

And lastly, Pluto, our favorite dwarf planet (don't worry, we still love you!), is hanging out in Capricorn, probably plotting how to regain its planetary status. Keep fighting the good fight, little buddy! #PlutoPower #SizeDoesntMatter

Remember folks, these celestial shenanigans are all just a bit of cosmic theatre. Don't take it too seriously! Unless of course, you're Saturn... then you're probably already overthinking it. #CosmicHumor

The solar wind environment was slightly enhanced from what is most likely weak influences from a negative polarity CH HSS and the possible passing of the 31 Dec CME, at about 03/0447 UTC, associated with the X5.0 flare. Total field strength peaked at 12 nT and Bz reached a maximum southward deviation of -7 nT. Wind speeds remained close to 425 km/s, increasing to 475-500 km/s after 03/0447 UTC. The Phi angle was oriented in a predominately negative position throughout the period.

There is a 25% 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.
