Retrograde Report for 28 February, 2024

There are no planets in retrograde!

Engage! And welcome, my celestial voyagers to this week's galactic forecast. Make it so, you say? Indeed! Let's begin with the quicksilver messenger of the gods, Mercury, currently taking a leisurely backstroke in the dreamy waters of Pisces. Expect your communication to sound like poetry from an alien civilization. It may not make sense, but it'll certainly sound profound. So, boldly go and share those ethereal thoughts! #MercuryInPisces #AlienPoetry

Next up, Venus, our cosmic goddess of love, is partying in unconventional Aquarius. Heartstrings will be plucked by the quirky and unexpected. Love is infinite diversity in infinite combinations (IDIC) this week, folks. Embrace the unorthodox! #VenusInAquarius #LoveIsIDIC

Meanwhile, fiery Mars also finds itself in Aquarius. This could lead to some rather ‘interesting’ actions on your part. Remember, it’s okay to color outside the lines... just try not to start a diplomatic incident with the Romulans. #MarsInAquarius #DiplomaticIncident

Jupiter, the king of the gods, has taken residence in practical Taurus. Time to expand your horizons, but in a sensible, down-to-earth way. Like investing in dilithium crystals. Solid plan, right? #JupiterInTaurus #DilithiumInvestments

Now, Saturn in Pisces suggests we take our dreams seriously. If you've been dreaming of joining Starfleet, now might be the time to enroll. Just be prepared for the Kobayashi Maru. #SaturnInPisces #StarfleetDreams

Uranus in Taurus is shaking up the financial sector of the solar system. Don't be surprised if your credits take on a life of their own. And remember, Ferengi rules of acquisition aren’t always the best guide. #UranusInTaurus #FerengiFinance

Neptune, the god of the sea, is also swimming in the etheric waters of Pisces. Expect your dreams to be more vivid than a holodeck adventure. Just remember, it’s all a simulation... or is it? #NeptuneInPisces #HolodeckDreams

Lastly, Pluto is

The moon is currently in Libra, at 19 degrees, 29' 21", at a velocity of 11.89 degrees per day.

The Waning Gibbous moon is currently 18.1 days old. It is 401941.66 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 9:02:45, 10 Mar 2024. The next full moon is at 7:01:37, 25 Mar 2024.

The IMF was somewhat enhanced for the first few periods of the day before returning to near normal, background readings. Total field peaked at 8 nT a few minutes after the start of the day, then decreased to below 5 nT by the end of the day. Bz underwent a few notable southward deviations early in the day, reaching a maximum southward deviation of -7 nT. Wind speeds fluctuated between 400 and 450 km/s, leveling off nearer to 400 km/s by the end of the day. The phi angle was variable early, indicative of possible transient influence. Eventually phi settled into a negative orientation.

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.
