Solar activity was at moderate levels. Region 3354 (N12W16, Ekc/Beta-Gamma-Delta) maintained its magnetic complexity and produced an M3.8/2B flare at 29/1415 UTC. This AR was responsible for the majority of the flaring this period. Region 3340 (N20W86, Eai/Beta-Gamma) began to rotate mostly out of view on the northwestern limb and was relatively quiet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
The solar wind environment was slightly enhanced possibly due to transient influences. Total field was 5-8 nT, and the Bz component deflected predominantly southward reaching up to -6 nT. Wind speeds increased to ~500 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative.
There is a 20% 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.
The waxing moon is currently in Scorpio, at 25 degrees, 02' 22", at a velocity of 13.67 degrees per day.

Greetings, celestial enthusiasts! Buckle up, because we're about to moonwalk into the deep, mysterious waters of Scorpio. Astrologically speaking, that is. I promise no actual moonwalking is required - unless, of course, you have some snazzy space boots and a desire to defy gravity. Now, let's get nerdy for a moment. Did you know that our beloved Moon is chilling 376,895.938862377km away from us? That's like driving around Earth almost 10,000 times. Exhausting, right? Yet, the Moon does it without a single gas station stop or a GPS. Talk about dedication! But here comes the plot twist - our lunar friend is in a bit of a hurry as it'll be packing its astrological suitcase and heading towards Sagittarius in the next 24 hours. There's no time for dilly-dallying when you're a celestial body on the move. So, what does this mean for you, my star-gazing friends? Well, imagine yourself as RoboCop for a second. You're strong, determined, and have an inexplicable craving for justice. That's the Scorpio energy for you - intense and transformative. It's the perfect time to tap into your own RoboCop powers and take control of any situation at hand. But remember, RoboCop also has a heart, just like our friend, the Moon. So don't forget to pack some empathy along with that strong will of yours. And maybe a donut or two for the road, because who doesn't love a good donut? Now, go forth and embrace this Scorpio moon energy like a true RoboCop, just without the actual robotic enhancements. Unless you have those, in which case, can we be friends?

Mercury in Cancer: It's All About the Feels
Now, buckle up for some stellar science gossip, folks! Our swift-footed friend Mercury is visiting the realm of the Crab. Now, I know what you're thinking – crabs and quicksilver seem like a weird mix, like eating pizza with a fork and knife (I mean, seriously, who does that?). But trust me, it's about to get interesting.
So, Mercury is setting up camp in Cancer, and let me tell you, it’s like an emotional homecoming. We’re talking about an over-the-top family reunion where every secret is spilled over the potato salad. Cancer is all about snug and cozy feelings, the equivalent of a fluffy kitten in a world of prickly porcupines. And Mercury? It’s the planet-sized megaphone broadcasting our thoughts and feelings into the cosmos.
Together, they’re like a cosmic duo of empathy, encouraging us to dive deep into our emotions and express them with less of a 'robotic Vulcan' touch and more of a 'care-bear stare'. That means it’s prime time to remind your loved ones how much they mean to you. It’s simple really, just say, "Hey, human, you're awesome. I love you." It’s not rocket science, though I do know a thing or two about that too!
But wait, there's more! Cancer's got this superpower – intuition, and Mercury in Cancer is like plugging that intuition into the universal USB port. Those gut feelings you usually ignore? They’re now amplified and begging for attention. This is the perfect time for you to channel your inner Sherlock and start deducing like a pro. Your instincts might just surprise you!
And here’s the final kicker – Mercury in Cancer makes us all better listeners. I know, right? You'd think a planet named after a messenger god would be all about talking, but Mercury in Cancer is here to remind us that good communication is also about listening. Yes, even the awkward silences count. So, let's use this time to truly hear each other out, and remember, the heart has ears too, metaphorically speaking.
So, while Mercury is hanging out in Cancer, let's embrace the feels, trust our guts, and remember to listen with our hearts. It's like a cosmic group therapy session, but without the uncomfortable chairs and

Venus Is In Leo
Greetings, celestial voyagers! Buckle up and get ready for a cosmic joyride because our favorite celestial diva, Venus, has just sashayed into the flamboyant sign of Leo. Oh yeah, we are talking about the Queen Bey of the zodiac, darling! Leo, the bonfire at the center of our zodiacal barbecue, is all about glitz, glamour and a dash (or three) of drama. As Venus pirouettes into this fiery sign, expect your love life to turn into an all-singing, all-dancing Broadway show. Loud declarations of love? Check. Larger-than-life romantic gestures? Double check. Spontaneous poetry recitals under your lover's window? You bet your quasar! But remember, my lovely stargazers, with great passion comes great... well, tantrums. Venus in Leo can be a bit of a prima donna, and if she feels like she's not getting her fair share of the limelight, there might be fireworks. Not the fun, Fourth-of-July kind. More like the "I'm-going-to-explode-like-a-supernova-if-you-don't-pay-attention-to-me" kind. Remember, in the cosmic dance of love, it takes two to tango around the sun. Ah, and let's not forget about the moolah! Money becomes a tool for self-expression during this transit. Leo enjoys the finer things in life - think champagne wishes and caviar dreams. But remember, my friends, even though treating yourself to a gold-plated, diamond-studded telescope might seem like a good idea now, true joy comes from sharing our wealth with others. So, as Venus struts her stuff through Leo, let's embrace the spirit of this fabulous astrological event. Love loudly, live boldly and remember - a little bit of cosmic drama just adds spice to the intergalactic soup of life.

Mars Is In Leo
Geek Alert: Mars Cruises into Leo's Space
Mars, the celestial embodiment of a high-octane fuelled sports car, has just slipped into the star-studded realm of Leo, the cosmic king of the jungle. And folks, it's like when you mix pop rocks and soda, expect some explosive results!
Imagine Mars donning a Hawaiian shirt, sipping a cosmic cocktail, and chanting "YOLO!" That’s exactly what happens when our fiery planet vacations in Leo's territory. It's a time when we're all encouraged to crank up the fun-o-meter, throw away the to-do list, and indulge in some unadulterated joy. In short, it's time to channel your inner Ferris Bueller.
But, hold onto your telescopes because there's more. Mars in Leo is like a green light for following your heart, or as I like to say, letting your internal GPS guide you towards your passion. That novel you've been dreaming of writing? That salsa class you're too shy to join? Now's the time to embrace Leo's courage and go for it. Don't worry about the outcome, just enjoy the journey!
Now, a word of caution from your friendly, neighborhood astrologer. Confidence is great but overconfidence? Not so much. While Mars is in Leo, there's a tendency to transform into a diva who thinks they can get the standing ovation without even rehearsing their lines. Remember, if you want to be the star of your life's movie, you'll need to do more than just look good on the red carpet. You'll need to deliver an Oscar-worthy performance!
And, oh boy, the drama! Mars in Leo amps up the theatrics, making us crave attention like a cat craves catnip. And if we don't get it? Let's just say it might be wise to brace yourself for some cosmic hissy fits. But remember, it's all part of the great cosmic play, so don't forget to keep your sense of humor handy.
Finally, Mars' tour through Leo is your golden ticket to explore the great ego-verse. Ego can be your best friend or worst enemy, depending on how you handle it. So, this transit is a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the role your ego plays in your life. Is it your trusty sidekick or a pesky
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter Is In Taurus
Alright, space cowboys and cosmic kittens, gather round! Our big ol' buddy Jupiter has decided to take up residence in Taurus, the astrological equivalent of a comfy recliner with cup holders. Now, don’t think this is just a celestial snooze-fest. Oh no, there's much more going on here than meets the third eye. You see, Jupiter is kind of like that really wise college professor who always has their office door open for a chat, while Taurus is more of a stay-at-home, binge-watching-entire-seasons-of-Star-Trek kind of sign. So, when these two team up, it's less about partying like it's 1999 and more about having deep, mind-expanding thoughts while lounging in your PJs. The universe is giving us a not-so-subtle nudge here, my friends. It's time to dust off those dreams that have been shelved, dig out the goal list from the bottom drawer, and get down to some serious business. With Jupiter’s can-do attitude and Taurus’ stubborn-as-a-mule resilience, we've got all the cosmic backing we need to start checking those items off one by one. Now, let's talk moolah. Jupiter is like that super generous uncle who always slips you a twenty when your parents aren't looking, and Taurus is well, let’s just say Taurus likes the finer things in life. So, if you play your cards right, this cosmic combo could spell some serious dough. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don’t blow it all on comic books or fancy crystals. Finally, Taurus has a taste for indulgence, and Jupiter isn't exactly known for its restraint. So, while it might be tempting to treat yo-self, remember, the cosmos are watching. Resist the urge to go overboard and instead invest in something that will bring long-term happiness. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the cosmic ride. Remember, the universe doesn’t make mistakes, so embrace the journey, even if it does involve a bit more couch time than you’re used to!

Saturn In Pisces: The Galactic Dad's Visit
Oh, dear! It appears that Saturn, the cosmic equivalent to a strict school headmaster, has decided to pop in for a visit while in the dreamy, free-spirited realm of Pisces. Now, imagine C-3PO deciding to join a hippie commune. Sounds amusing, doesn't it? Well, that's about the size of it.
So, what happens when you mix a grand old disciplinarian with an über-chilled-out star sign? Perfect opportunity for you to take those daydreams of yours - yes, even the one about starting a llama farm on Mars - and start making some serious plans. You know, like finding out how much a space suit for a llama would cost.
But beware, my star-gazing friend. Saturn in Pisces is not all fairy dust and rainbows. Just like C-3PO in a drum circle, it might feel a bit... intrusive. Especially when it starts nitpicking at your precious dreams. But remember, behind that shiny, stern exterior is a wealth of wisdom. So, open the door and listen to what the old codger has to say. He might just help you clean up the clutter in your dream room.
Now, with all this mental gymnastics going on, you might find yourself a tad restless. The Piscean realm is associated with sleep and dreams, and when Saturn starts poking around in there, it can be akin to having a Dalek as a night-time storyteller. So, take time to chill out. Meditate, stroll through the park, practice deep breathing, or simply take a nap (but keep a dream journal handy!). After all, you wouldn't want to forget the blueprint for that llama's spacesuit, would you?
In short, Saturn in Pisces is like a visit from your nerdy uncle who insists on turning your latest VR game into a physics lecture. It's a bit irritating, sure, but it could also be exactly what you need to turn your dreams into reality. So, buckle up, stargazers. It's time to take a dreamy ride with Saturn at the wheel!

Uranus In Taurus: Cosmic Cash and Starry Stocks
Well, butter my biscuits and call me a stargazer! Uranus has gone and done it again. The celestial bad boy has moved into Taurus and, let me tell you, Taurus is not thrilled about it. Taurus, the cosmic equivalent of a comfy pair of slippers, isn't exactly known for its love of change. But Uranus? Uranus is that friend who shows up uninvited to your chill movie night, suggesting you all go bungee jumping instead.
So, what's the big deal? Well, Taurus is the Wall Street of the zodiac, the master of moolah. With Uranus in town, we're talking revolutionary changes in how we handle our cash. Imagine cryptocurrency becoming so common, your grandma starts mining Bitcoin in between episodes of Antique Roadshow. Banks might go from marble and mahogany to code and pixels. That old piggy bank? More like a digital wallet in the cloud. And the housing and stock markets? Hold onto your hats, because they're about to ride the cosmic bull.
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a financial decluttering. Think Marie Kondo meets Wall Street. It's time to break free from the shackles of debt, tax returns that look like War and Peace, and credit card interest rates that would make a loan shark blush. This is a wake-up call to rethink our relationship with money and materialism.
Resisting the changes? That's like trying to stop a comet with a butterfly net. Not going to happen, my friend. And really, why resist? This cosmic shakeup can lead to stellar stability. So, buckle up, my celestial comrades. Uranus is in Taurus, and it's going to be one cosmic roller coaster of a ride.

Neptune Is In Pisces
Greetings, star gazers! So, Neptune has decided to crash the Pisces party, huh? Now that's like adding a pinch of salt into a cosmic soup! Suddenly, everything tastes a bit different. Neptune in Pisces is like your Wi-Fi router suddenly hitting full bars in the middle of nowhere. You're connected, baby! Connected to your feelings, your long-lost dreams, and to that strange guy in the coffee shop who talks to his cappuccino. Hey, we don't judge here. This cosmic combo is all about embracing unity and ditching the superficial. It's like the universe is saying, "Hey, why are you squabbling over who ate the last piece of vegan, gluten-free, zero-carb pizza when you could be joining forces to, I don't know, maybe save the planet?" During this transit, you might feel called to dig deep into your spiritual pocket. Maybe learn how to read tarot cards? Or perhaps, start a conversation with your houseplants? Go ahead, unleash your inner hippie! This is not just about self-exploration, though. Neptune in Pisces wants you to share your discoveries. Start a blog, vlog, or even a good ol' journal entry. Shout it from the rooftops if you have to. Just remember, the cosmos has got your back. Now's the perfect time to turn your living room into a makeshift sanctuary. Light some incense, play some soothing tunes, and connect with what feels sacred. Who knows? You might just find yourself telepathically ordering a latte from that guy at the coffee shop. So buckle up, star children! Neptune in Pisces is about to take us on a wild ride, 4443918396.366181374km away to be exact. And the best part? No traffic. Just remember to keep your eyes on the road, or the stars in this case, because we're cruising prograde. Get ready for a cosmic adventure of a lifetime! Peace out.

Pluto Is In Capricorn
Pluto In Capricorn: Nerdy Hippie Edition
Alright stargazers, buckle up because Pluto - the planet that's been playing 'will they, won't they' with its planetary status - has decided to shimmy its way into Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Wait, wasn't Pluto declared a dwarf planet?" Well, yes and no. It's complicated. But in the grand cosmic dance that is our solar system, size doesn't really matter.
Anyway, back to astrology. Pluto and Capricorn are both like that super intense friend who takes game night way too seriously. They're all about success, power, and winning at all costs. This means we might find ourselves getting a bit... shall we say... 'competitive' during this transit. There's a chance we might forget our usual appreciation for diversity and become intolerant of other people's opinions. And by 'other people's opinions', I mean 'anyone who doesn't agree with us'. So, let's try not to turn every conversation into a cosmic version of Monopoly, okay?
Now, Pluto - the little celestial body that could - is also all about chucking out the old to make room for the new. It's like Marie Kondo in space. Does this negative pattern spark joy? No? Into the cosmic bin it goes! But remember folks, destruction can be a messy business, so be sure what you're throwing out isn't something you'll miss later. Like say, your ability to tolerate different viewpoints.
All in all, while Pluto may be a wee planet-like thingy 5064003263.473514557km away (give or take a few kilometers - space GPS can be so unreliable), it's reminding us to keep aiming for the stars - just maybe with a little less single-minded intensity. Peace, love, and cosmic vibes, my friends.

Rarely entirely “down and out”, people with Sun in harmonious aspect to Jupiter are usually well-received, helpful, and well-informed. They may enjoy travel and have a special affection for foreign places and people. They’re generally not very competitive people, and for the most part not combative either. As a result, they are usually well-liked.These people are usually good-hearted with strong morals and much faith in life and in people. They prefer to find good in situations and in people. They don’t have a lot of patience with those who break the rules, as they generally believe in order, equality, and the law. They generally make good on their promises, and the sincerity they exude can be trusted. Looking on the bright side is their forte–turn to these people for a pleasing dose of faith and optimism. They are quick to chuckle and can’t resist any appeal to their sense of humor. Some people with this aspect are downright jolly. Others are less conspicuous, but their faith in life and willingness to find humor in life are nevertheless obvious.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Hank Aaron, Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Evel Knievel, Shari Lewis, Carol Lewis, Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles – Prince Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis Presley.Alternate interpretations:Sun sextile Jupiter: Your life is apt to be blessed with more than your share of helpful friends, fortuitous connections, and doors opening to you at just the right time.

This aspect also suggests the possibility of working with and helping older persons. Often this position indicates help received from others.

Self-discipline, organizing ability, and stamina are the order of the day. You are methodical, systematic and can make much progress today simply by rolling up your shirt sleeves and getting to work.

Although somewhat undemonstrative, they are generally loyal and responsible people to those they care about.These are not the quickest-moving people around - they take their time and generally use a step-by-step approach to most projects - but they steadily reach their goals.

Venus Conjunct Mars
There is a desire for love, beauty, relationships, and things that feel good. Desire is strong today and this includes the desire for the opposite sex. Be considerate of others today as you may express yourself too strongly. Use your creative energies and get involved with the arts, music or the theater. How about making a special meal for your significant other? Watch your spending today as you may feel tempted to overindulge and be too extravagant. Curb your potential for eating too much rich, sweet, or spicy food. Moderation is the key. Be refined and charming around women. Do not get involved in petty gossip or in competition with the women you know. Have fun at a social gathering, but remember, don't come on too strong or let your opinion of yourself swell so as to become overbearing and obnoxious.For people with a Venus-Mars conjunction in their natal charts, the blending of the feminine and masculine energies within is a natural process, although other aspects to the conjunction will tell the whole story as to how this is done. These people possess personal magnetism in spades. They live and breathe romantic/sexual relationships. It is generally easy for them to form relationships, unless the conjunction is severely afflicted. They ooze sexuality, and they are generally quite impulsive with regards to entering new relationships. Relationships are not only important to them, they require a fair amount of excitement, adventure, and passion in their pairings in order to feel alive and vital. With this conjunction, there is generally a pleasing blend of self-assertion and cooperation. This comprises some of their charm, in that they generally know how to assert themselves without stepping on others’ toes. In some cases, men with this aspect may be too dominating in romantic situations, and might gain a reputation for being “macho”. This is not always the case, however. For the most part, these people are quite direct about what they want in a relationship, and they are quite passionate when it comes to going about getting what they want. It can be a challenge maintaining perspective when it comes to relationships. These people are generally highly creative and are bent on finding outlets for their creativity. Their vitality and warm energy is something that can be felt by others, as if it lies just below the surface.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Mars: Barry Bonds (in Gemini), Carmen Electra (in Gemini), Bette Davis, James Caan (in Taurus, also conjunct Uranus), Sally Field, Eva Gabor (in Pisces), Merv Griffin (in Leo), Kris Kristofferson (in Gemini), Bruce Lee (in Scorpio), Courtney Love (in Gemini), Peter O’Toole, Al Pacino (in Gemini), Stefanie Powers (in Scorpio), Sting, Uma Thurman (in Gemini), Vincent Van Gogh (in Pisces), Harry Hamlin (in Virgo), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, conjunct the Ascendant).Venus
Venus Square Uranus
Unstable romantic infatuations and impractical or irresponsible attitudes and conduct in relationships should be guarded against. There is a desire to break free from binding partnerships. Impulsive spending may be your idea of breaking free. Be careful during this transit because you are probably not thinking with your head, only your heart, which is your wild side right now. Your behavior now may be so bohemian or bizarre that people turn against you. Settle down and apply self-discipline.The need for stimulation and the need to break the rules with regards to love and romance is apparent when Venus squares or opposes Uranus in the natal chart. These people can confuse their partners readily with their on-again off-again energy when it comes to matters of the heart. With the opposition, this is especially pronounced–when they are given too much space, they feel unloved, yet when they get the love they seem to crave, they can feel smothered by it. They can alienate partners by adopting an “I don’t care what you do” stance when they feel threatened. The truth is, they do fear rejection like anyone else, but they don’t always want to admit it, and they can turn quite cold when they suspect their partner doesn’t care. The energy of Venus-Uranus in hard aspect is embodied in the expression, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. When close to a loved one, they can eventually feel smothered or antsy if the relationship becomes too predictable. They can also detach themselves from living in the moment and enjoying the love they have. When apart, they feel more free to love. This aspect is common in the charts of people who maintain long-distance or otherwise erratic relationships. There can be abrupt beginnings and endings in relationships. They are not very “good” at endings–they can appear quite insensitive, aloof, and brusque. The “let’s be friends” attitude might hurt a partner who felt there was much more to the relationship. These people have a disdain for conventional, traditional, or otherwise “normal” relationships. They need to learn to balance their need for closeness and their need for freedom. They truly detest social pretenses, and insist on being sincere. Being well-liked takes second place to sincerity. There is a strong attraction to all that is different, and all that “shouldn’t” be done in love and in sex. Taste in clothing and art is unusual, original, and unique.There is a tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others, and there is marked emotional impulsiveness with these aspects. Their most successful relationships are unconventional ones. Whether they do so publicly or privately, they delight in defying convention. They tend to move on and outgrow friendships. Some possess considerable romantic charm and humor, and they can pretty much charm the birds out of the trees when they choose to do so! Their love feelings are easily aroused and their romantic relationships begin with suddenness. There is a marked inner craving for emotional excitement and a need to feel spontaneous and free.Alternate interpretations:Venus square Uranus or Venus opposition Uranus: *Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but they often end abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently – especially in your younger years. You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique, creative, or unstable people.#You tend to fall in love instantly, and you need to discriminate between passing sexual fancy and something that can last “forever.” As your intuition develops, you will be able to identify the difference more clearly. When you “fall,” that is a good time to marshal all your respect for yourself and your partner, and to take things one day at a time until you have forged a deep connection.

Take time out to slow down and stay in control of yourself. You may feel out of control today. You may feel restraint even if none is there. Don't let your impulsiveness and your impatience get the better of you. Accidents are possible around machinery, your car, or around electricity. Be careful and stay alert. Carelessness is your biggest enemy today. This is a time for high anxiety and lots of nervous energy. Get some exercise. Avoid excess stress. Put your energy into something creative, self-expressive and inventive.You prefer to stand out in a crowd than to follow. Watch for a tendency to be stubborn or dogmatic, which can impede your progress in life and cause unnecessary delays or obstacles. You can be very temperamental, but you tend to get over things quickly. You might often be hasty, impatient, and impulsive.Alternate, short interpretations: Mars square Uranus or Mars opposition Uranus: *Intensely restless, dynamic, and energetic, you are always on the go. When you want something, you want it NOW, and you act decisively, impulsively, sometimes hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you find it difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. You have a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not your strong point! You are often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when you are pursuing a desired goal. You may have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do things in your own style and at your own pace.#Your life is peppered with dangerous intersections where you may be physically injured. These very events, however, form the substance of your spiritual path. It takes courage to follow this independent path, and effort to maintain strong relationships as you do so.
