Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3372 (N25W64, Eko/beta) produced an M3.1/2n at 22/0337 UTC which was immediately followed by an M1.0/1f from Region 3373 (N08W43, Ekc/beta) at 22/0416 UTC. A CME associated with the M3 flare from Region 3372 was first observed off the W/NW limb at 22/0436 UTC in LASCO C2 imagery, however, it was mostly obscured by CME activity just beyond the SW limb. Analysis indicated the CME was W of the Sun-Earth line and is not expected to be geoeffective.
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 weakly enhanced, possibly a transition from the 18 Jul CME followed by weak HSS influence. Total field decreased from 10 nT to near 7 nT with the Bz component between +/-7 nT. Solar wind speed increased from approximately 390 km/s to near 480 km/s. Phi angle was in a negative sector.
There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 10% 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 Libra, at 00 degrees, 12' 52", at a velocity of 11.96 degrees per day.
The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 4.9 days old. It is 400629.3 km from the centre of the Earth.

Venus in Leo: The Terminator Edition
"Come with me if you want to love!" When the enchanting Venus time-travels into the Leo sector of the celestial cosmos, it's like a T-800, armed and ready for a love mission. This isn't some hush-hush affair, folks! No, we're talking about proclaiming our affection with the subtlety of a shotgun blast. Leo, the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the zodiac signs, is all about flamboyance, creativity, and shouting "I love you!" from a skyscraper. So, strap on your leather jackets and rev up those Harley Davidsons because love is going to light up like a molotov cocktail.
With Venus in Leo, we don't just want to be appreciated like the everyday T-600 models, we want to be worshipped like the T-1000. It's time to bust out of your comfort zones and make some jaw-dropping, action-packed love maneuvers. Those who choose to play it safe might as well be hiding in a fallout shelter.
But remember, folks, love isn't a calm walk in the park when Venus is in Leo, it's a high-speed chase with a semi-truck. Leo, while playful as a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101, can also bring about as much drama as a nuclear war. If we feel neglected or sidelined, we might just kick-start a passionate dispute as fiery as a plasma rifle. Remember, there might be no "we" in "Skynet", but focusing too much on "I" will only leave you as alone as a rogue AI system.
As for money, it's like liquid metal in the hands of a T-1000 when Venus is in Leo. It's all about feeling like a billion bucks and treating your loved ones to the grandeur they deserve. Leo, being the extravagant sign it is, wouldn't mind a splurge or two. After all, what's wrong with a little glitz, glamour, and gold-plated endoskeletons? But remember, spending on thoughtful gifts for others will give you more happiness than hoarding it all for yourself, like a malfunctioning ATM machine.
In essence, Venus in Leo is like a reprogrammed Terminator, set to bring color, energy, and a dash of thrill into your relationships. Because, remember, a life devoid of fun and excitement

Mars Is In Virgo
Greetings, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! Now, don't panic, but Mars has decided to take a vacation in Virgo. And you know what that means? It's time to channel your inner Marie Kondo and let efficiency become your new favorite mantra. So, Mars - the celestial bodyguard and action hero of our solar system - is hanging out in Virgo, the zodiac sign that loves order more than Sheldon Cooper loves his spot on the couch. This combination is like a caffeine-fueled productivity machine on steroids. You'll be ticking off tasks faster than The Flash can run a marathon. But remember, just like any superhero, it comes with its own set of kryptonite. Now, Virgo rules the 6th House of Health and Self-Improvement, so while Mars is in town, you might feel a sudden urge to turn into a kale-smoothie sipping, yoga-doing, meditation guru. And with Mars’ love for routine, you might actually stick to those New Year resolutions that you've been carrying over for the past half-decade. However, be warned! This cosmic combo could also turn you into a nitpicking ninja. You might experience a heightened sense of perfectionism that would make even Monica Geller blush. Frustrations might reach boiling point faster than a microwave popcorn bag, if things aren't as efficient or controlled as you'd want them to be. So, remember - patience is not just a virtue, it's your secret weapon during this transit. Instead of going all Darth Vader on others for not meeting your high standards, use this time to do something positively constructive. Mars in Virgo is like having your own personal life coach, pushing you to balance your budget, plan for the future, learn a new skill, or even start job hunting. It's like having a "Get Stuff Done" sale in the universe and you've got the best seat in the house! So, buckle up, fellow earthlings! Let's make the most of Mars' trip to Virgo. Happy star gazing!

Jupiter in Taurus - The Cosmic Laugh Track of the Galaxy
My fellow stargazers, let me beam you up some cosmic wisdom straight from the heart of Jupiter chilling in Taurus. You're probably wondering, "why should I care where Jupiter is hanging out?" Well, here's the thing – Jupiter is the cool uncle of the solar system. He's all about wisdom and deep thoughts, like "if a tree falls in a forest and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Very zen, right? Now, Taurus, on the other hand, is that friend who loves their comfort zone so much they've named it Larry. When Jupiter and Taurus pair up, it's a cosmic reminder to find your inner Larry. That's right, wisdom isn't something you have to climb a mountain or do a Vulcan salute for. It's already inside you, quietly waiting between Netflix episodes and coffee breaks.
Jupiter in Taurus is like the ultimate life coach, nudging us towards our dreams, and making us feel all warm and fuzzy about it. So, whip out those dusty to-do lists, strap on your most comfortable sneakers, and start ticking off those check boxes. Remember, we've got the planet of growth and the zodiac's most patient sign rooting for us. So, take your time, enjoy the journey, and don't worry - there's no need to rush like a starship at warp speed.
And if you're looking to cash in some cosmic lottery, then Jupiter in Taurus is your golden ticket. Both Jupiter and Taurus are well-renowned for their love of prosperity. They're the cosmic equivalent of Scrooge McDuck diving into his pool of gold coins. So, be smart with your finances during this time, and play your cards right. Who knows, you might just hit the jackpot.
But beware my friends, Taurus loves the finer things in life just as much as they love their comfort zone. And when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meets Taurus, the zodiac sign known for indulgence, it's like putting Spock in a room full of tribbles (not advisable). So, remember to keep your impulses in check, and don't let your needs warp into wants. Unless of course, it's more Star Trek merchandise, then by all means, engage!

Saturn in Pisces: An Intergalactic Reality Check
Oh, joy of joys, Saturn is in Pisces. And what a delightful 1.337 billion kilometer cosmic road trip it's been. If you're feeling a bit off-kilter, that's perfectly normal. Or as normal as anything gets when you're dealing with a giant gaseous planet meandering through the twelfth house of the zodiac.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "How can I possibly make use of this celestial event?" Well, take a seat, grab a cup of chamomile tea (or a pint of Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, if you prefer), and brace yourself for some cosmic coaching.
With Saturn, the celestial CEO, traipsing through the dreamy realm of Pisces, it's the perfect time to turn your daydreams into reality. Got an idea for a novel? Dreaming of opening a vegan donut shop? Now's the time to get down to brass tacks. And by brass tacks, I mean solid Saturnian steps like business plans, budgets, and perhaps even some intergalactic loans (just watch out for those interest rates).
But be warned, Saturn in Pisces might feel like your dad just barged into your room while you're trying to meditate to your favorite 70s prog-rock album. No amount of "Stay Out of My Room" signs will keep this cosmic father figure from poking around. So instead of throwing a tantrum, open the door and listen up. His advice, although grating, can be more helpful than a babel fish in your ear.
And about those restless nights? Blame it on Pisces. This sign is all about dreams, sleep, and the subconscious mind. So, if you find yourself tossing and turning, try some mindful meditation, deep breathing exercises, or an evening stroll under the stars. You might even consider heading to bed earlier to allow time for your brain to unwind. Dreams can hold profound wisdom, so keep your dream journal handy. You never know when a Vogon poem might inspire your next great idea.
Remember, Saturn in Pisces is about balance – between dreams and reality, solitude and connection, chaos and order. It's a turbulent ride, but hey, don't panic! After all, it's not every day you get life advice
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 22 Tau 31' 13", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2992340074km away and approaching.
Uranus Is In Taurus
Alright, star gazers and cosmic voyagers, let's talk about Uranus in Taurus... or should we say, Uranus coming in like a wrecking ball through Taurus' china shop. Yeah, you heard it right. Taurus, our celestial bull, loves lounging in the meadow of stability and predictability, chewing the cud of tradition. But Uranus, being the cosmic punk rocker that it is, has a penchant for blasting the Sex Pistols on the celestial jukebox and upsetting Taurus' tranquil pasture party. Now, don't go running for the astrological hills just yet. Think of this as a cosmic renovation. Sure, Taurus might like that old comfy sofa with the worn-out cushions, but Uranus is showing up with a brand-new futon, multi-purpose and sleek. The old ways can be comfy, but sometimes they're just... well, old. And where is this IKEA-like upgrade happening? In the bank vaults, my friend. Taurus is the Wall Street wolf of the zodiac, and Uranus is about to introduce some newfangled crypto-currency into the mix. Could be Bitcoin, could be Unicorn coin, who knows? What we do know, is that the next seven years will bring radical transformations to our financial systems. Banks might start looking more like sci-fi movies and less like, well, banks. On the home front, Uranus is encouraging us to rethink our relationship with money—debt, taxes, and that dreaded credit card bill that comes in thicker than a Tolkien novel. It’s time to break free from the chains of materialism. Ready to Marie Kondo your finances? Uranus is handing you the trash bags. Change might seem scary, but remember, Uranus is the liberator of the zodiac. So let's embrace the change, strap on those moon boots, and get ready for an exciting cosmic ride. Hold onto your telescopes, folks. This roller coaster is going interstellar!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune Is In Pisces
Hello, stardust enthusiasts, space nerds, and cosmic voyagers! It's time to talk about Neptune, that big blue blob of a planet that's currently doing a funky little dance called the retrograde in the constellation of Pisces. Now, for those of you who don't speak astronomer-ese, let me translate: The dude is far, far away - precisely 4390418652.148865700 km away. But despite this astronomical (pun intended) distance, Neptune in Pisces still has a profound influence on us earthlings. Imagine if Mr. Spock and Yoda had a celestial baby - that's Neptune in Pisces. It's logical yet spiritual, distant but deeply interconnected. Neptune in Pisces is like wearing a pair of cosmic glasses that let you see past your own belly button. It's like someone turned on the high beams in the middle of a foggy night, revealing the vanity of petty differences and illuminating the golden path towards unity. This transit is like a cosmic job fair, asking us to whip out our resumes and consider what we can contribute to the universe. We all have gifts, people, even if your only talent seems to be turning pizza into regret. Neptune in Pisces encourages us to dust off our dreams from the back of the closet and bring them into the light. Now, this might be the perfect time to enroll in Hogwarts or Jedi Academy, or maybe just spend some time exploring your own inner Dumbledore or Obi-Wan. Create a sacred space at home, perhaps an altar dedicated to your favorite sci-fi series or an inspirational figure. Then, think about how you can share these newfound insights with the world. Remember, folks, Neptune in Pisces is like having a cosmic cheerleader. It's here to support us in our journey, shouting encouragement from billions of kilometers away. So, put on your space suit, prepare your warp drive, and let's boldly go where no man, woman, or extraterrestrial being has gone before!

Pluto Is In Capricorn
Pluto in Capricorn: A Trekkie's Guide
Attention, star voyagers! Your favourite dwarf planet, Pluto, has set its coordinates to Capricorn. That's right, it's boldly gone where...well, it's gone before, but in this universe, we're all about the reruns!
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Pluto? Isn't that the one they demoted?". Yes, my scientifically-savvy friends, it is. But just like a redshirt in an away team, never underestimate its potential impact. With Pluto in Capricorn, we're talking a cosmic alignment that would make even the Borg sit up and take notice.
Capricorn, the ambitious mountain goat of the zodiac, and Pluto, the powerhouse of transformation (and former 9th planet—#NeverForget), are forming a celestial tag-team. Expect a stronger drive towards success and efficiency that would make a Vulcan proud. However, be careful not to let your inner Cardassian surface and become intolerant of other people's views. Remember, Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations (IDIC), folks!
Under this transit, Pluto is like the Starfleet engineer of your life, urging you to eject those warp core breaches of negative patterns. Yes, it can be a bit like playing 3D chess with Spock, but hey, a little constructive destruction never hurt anyone (well, except maybe the Tribbles).
So as you navigate through these star-studded times, remember the wise words of Captain Kathryn Janeway: "Survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society." Substitute 'society' with 'self', and you've pretty much got the Pluto in Capricorn ethos down. Live long and prosper, space cadets!

The Sun
Sun Sextile Moon
There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony between you and women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.
The Sun
Sun Trine Neptune
Today will be rewarding if you find the time to express yourself by helping others. Find something artistic through which you can channel your creativity and your soul. Art and music as well as spiritual pursuits are favored today. Try to become one with the Universe today. Creative visualization can be an important means through which your goals are realized. Idealism runs high today.There is an unmistakably dreamy, inspired, and sensitive side to those born with easy aspects between the Sun and Neptune. A marked appreciation for music and the arts is present. The connection of Neptune with the Sun, which represents the ego and the will, certainly softens some of the hard edges that might be found elsewhere in the chart, adding a sensitive and spiritual dimension to the personality. These people are naturally compassionate, especially those born under the trine. It is so completely natural for them to accept that there is more to the world than what is before their eyes, that they tend to presume everyone must be spiritually-inclined. Of course, they come to realize that this is not the case at some early point in their lives. Their attraction to spirituality and metaphysical subjects is usually marked. These aspects favor writers, artists, and musicians. These people are sensitive to those who are suffering, although they are not as easily taken advantage of as those with Sun-Moon challenging aspects. They are humanitarian and often have a special connection with animals. If other aspects and positions in the chart support it, these people are not ones to dominate others or assert themselves to the point of brashness.Some Famous People with Sun in Easy Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Mick Jagger; Trines – Farrah Fawcett, Billy Corgan, Muhammad AliThe Sun
Sun Opposite Pluto
Power struggles may be likely today. You may encounter others who try to force their will on you or others who resent feeling as if you are forcing your ego on them. Try to compromise and find a balance. Transformation can come about if you are open to change and if you can keep your ego from becoming all-encompassing. Today may be an intense day. Control your arrogance and your domineering attitudes. Be reasonable.People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves.Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.Famous people with Sun in hard aspect to Pluto: Squares – Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field; Oppositions – Muhammad Ali, Robert Duvall, John Travolta, Elvis Presley, Steve Allen, John Hurt, James Earl Jones; Oppositions – Nicole Brown Simpson, R.D.

Avoid hasty speech and things said in anger in the heat of the moment. Impractical ideas, nervousness, irritability and unexpected disruptions are what you may have to deal with today. There may be sudden changes in travel plans. Be extra cautious while traveling as accidents are possible through carelessness and impatience.You possess a quick mind, you are very intuitive, and you require a great deal of mental stimulation to keep from feeling bored. Preferring to be self-directed, you don’t always take advice easily. There is a part of you that loves to shock, challenge, and instigate with the things you say; however, this may not be a conscious process. Your mental energy and output is extremely variable–one day you might be capable of enormous effort and interest in a project, and the next day the opposite. This is largely due to the fact that you feel a strong need to be true to your instincts and intuition, and if you are not absolutely inspired, you don’t feel right working on a project–you might feel that you are “faking” it, and this doesn’t sit well for you. The problem is that in life there are always going to be routine tasks to complete, things we have to do that don’t entirely suit our interests, and so forth. School years may be challenging as a result of your disdain for a linear approach to learning, routine tasks, and subjects that don’t inspire you, not because of any lack of mental ability. In fact, you can have real flashes of genius and your ideas and perspectives are often very original. At times you can be very dogmatic. You have a tendency to be, or to appear to be, scatterbrained. Your attention span can be short, and as a result, you might often leave projects unfinished. At times you can have an irritable temper and need to channel some of your nervous energy into constructive pursuits. Take time to reflect on what you truly believe in, because many times you are too busy challenging established thought, or playing devil’s advocate, to get in touch with your own opinions and feelings. This way, your intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity can come shining through.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Sigourney Weaver, Oliver Stone, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, Drew Carey, Bjork. Oppositions – Howard Stern, Voltaire, Henri Matisse, Billy Jean King, Robert Browning, Charles Chaplin, Danny DeVito.Mars
