30 March, 2023


24 hr Summary... Solar activity reached high levels due to an X1.2 flare from Region 3256 (S22W74, Eso/beta-gamma) at 29/0233 UTC. The associated CME off the WSW limb was modeled and determined to be well ahead of Earths orbit. This region also produced an M1.2/1f flare that peaked around 29/1407 UTC and a M1.1 flare at 29/2347 UTC. A faint CME signature can be seen in available coronagraph imagery starting around 26/1612 UTC, likely associated with the M1.2 flare, but the ejecta is not likely to influence Earth. Another CME was associated with a prominence eruption in the southeast quadrant first observed lifting off in GOES-16 SUVI around 30/1100 UTC. This CME was modeled with results expected back with the next update.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters were mostly at background levels but the IMF remained slightly enhanced. Total field strength was steady around 6 nT until midday when it increased and remained nearer to 9 nT. Bz only underwent brief and minor southward excursions. Wind speeds were generally at 400 km/s or less, although readings have been less reliable with the low density environment. The phi angle was oriented in a negative solar sector.

There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The waxing moon is currently in Cancer, at 21 degrees, 54' 23", at a velocity of 11.9 degrees per day.

The First Quarter moon is currently 8.4 days old. It is 404459.04 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 4:15:48, 20 Apr, 2023. The next full moon is at 17:36:47, 5 May, 2023.

Mars Is In Cancer

Hey there, stargazers! Today we're talking about Mars in Cancer. Now, Mars is a fiery planet, but in the sensitive sign of Cancer, it's like putting a flame under a pot of water. It's toned down, but not out. So, how can we use this energy to our advantage? Well, for starters, it's a great time to channel that initiative into something domestic. Break out the toolbox and start on that home improvement project you've been putting off. And, if you feel a strong urge to defend a family member or domestic situation, don't be afraid to let that protective instinct take over. Here's the catch though, Mars in Cancer may make us a bit passive. We'll only take action if we feel an emotional connection to something. And, when we do take action, it may be more reactive and oversensitive than purposeful. So, be sure to keep your cool and think before you act. But, overall, this transit gives us the opportunity to build something that honors our connection to the past and to family values. So, let's embrace that nurturing energy and make some gentle yet meaningful steps into the future. And, just for fun, did you know that Mars is currently 214,858,475.173649132 kilometers away? That's pretty far, but we can still feel its effects here on Earth. Keep looking up, friends!

You don't need a strategized plan, just feel that spark of inspiration and run with it! But don't forget to learn from both success and failure, because let's face it, you gotta risk it to get the biscuit. And while you're at it, be open to learning from others and expanding your mind. Don't get so stuck in your own opinions that you become a one-man show. Remember, we make our own luck and hold the key to our big, bright, and happy futures. So take control of your life, turn that lock, and let Jupiter guide you to greatness!

Venus

Venus Conjunct Uranus

There is high excitement in relationships today. You are feeling magnetic and the people around you can sense it. Creativity and intuition can be used today for some very positive results. You feel a need for emotional freedom, but don't make any serious changes while under the effects of this aspect. You may experience love at first sight.People with a Venus-Uranus conjunction in their natal charts are usually very magnetic, intriguing, and dynamic individuals. They value friendship in love and sincerity of feelings is the most important quality for them. These are people who will turn their nose at marriage, saying that it’s how people feel about each other that counts more than a marriage certificate. Although friendly and usually quite willing to make friends with people from all walks of life, there is an impersonal and noncommittal manner to them that is unmistakable. They despise social pretenses. Despite the fact that they firmly believe that popularity is much less important than sincerity, they are often rather popular people. They love to be different, and in many ways they are open-minded when it comes to love and romance. Still, they can be quite argumentative and sometimes uncooperative–even downright inflexible–when it comes to their own “inner code” and honoring it. They are not as adaptable to others’ expectations of them as their freedom-loving beliefs might imply. In other words, although they easily accept many different people into their lives, they cling tightly to their own ways of living. Some fear compromise, seeing it as a loss of self or a loss of individuality. Their taste and “style” is different and original. This can extend to choice of dress as well as taste in art, furniture, movies, and so forth. Sometimes Uranus is projected, and the partners that these people are attracted to display the Uranian traits of independence, originality, unreliability, inconsistency, and freedom-loving. Ex-lovers of Venus-Uranus natives may complain that these people didn’t truly value the relationship. In love and with regards to the erotic, the most appealing things can be what hasn’t been done or what “shouldn’t” be done. Mixing things up and experimentation are important to Venus-Uranus people.Alternate, short interpretations: *You are excitable, spontaneous, and easily aroused emotionally and sexually. You fall in love very quickly and have little self-restraint or concern for propriety when your feelings have been stirred. However, it may be difficult for you to sustain a relationship after the first rush of excitement wanes, especially if your partner is basically a conservative person who does not like to change or experiment. Nontraditional relationships appeal to you, and personal freedom is highly important to you.#Once you find the spiritual teaching that suits you, you are totally and forever hooked into it. Until that happens, you may start and end many times. When you are on the right path, beginnings and endings around you become cyclical milestones in the development of your personal belief system. From Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Uranus: Christina Aguilera (Venus in early Sagittarius, Uranus in late Scorpio), Tori Amos, Warren Beatty (Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus), Anita Bryant (Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus), Elizabeth Taylor (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Warren Beatty, Harry Belafonte, Betty Ford, Heather Locklear (Venus in early Virgo conjunct Uranus in late Leo), Steve McQueen, Bill Moyers, Sidney Poitier (Venus conjunct Uranus in Pisces), Johnny Cash (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Kathy Bates, Erma Bombeck, Donovan (Venus conjunct Uranus in Gemini), Katie Holmes (Venus conjunct Uranus in Scorpio – and sextile Saturn), Jim Jones (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Cat Stevens.

Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Saturn have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Mars sextile Saturn or Mars trine Saturn: *You possess the gifts of endurance and perseverance, the willingness to work hard and seriously to achieve your objectives. Once you decide you want something or make a commitment, you’ll do it “even if it takes forever”. Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize that any creative achievement is “10% inspiration, 90% perspiration”. You choose practical, realistic goals and pursue them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like to concentrate on one thing at a time and do a thorough job. You enjoy working in solitude, and often feel your best work is done when you are alone.#You may find that you go from one transformational situation to another, never really settling into any one thing. Yet you have the endurance necessary for the long haul.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Thomas Edison, Alfred Adler, Galileo, Camilla Parker Bowles, Freddie Prinze, Corbin Bernsen, Catherine the Great, Omar Sharif, Ben Stiller, Barbara Walters; Trines – Denzel Washington, Rudolph Steiner, Josef Stalin, Yves Saint Laurent, Emily Post, Marilyn Monroe, Sinclair Lewis, David Letterman, Annie Lennox, Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Griffith, Dwight Eisenhower, Eric Clapton, Kevin Butler, Kareem Abdul Jabar.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
