There are currently 3 planets in retrograde:

Greetings, Cosmic Cadets!

Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for some interstellar laughs as we navigate the wacky world of planetary retrograde, Red Dwarf style. I'm your captain, Dave Lister, a starchart scribbler with a knack for the nerdy and a soft spot for tofu. So, let's boldly go where no horoscope has gone before!

The Planetary Line-Up:

First up, we have Mercury in Sagittarius. Now, we all know Mercury is the God of communication, commerce, and cunning. And Sagittarius? The archer is all about the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Put them together, and you've got the cosmic equivalent of a brutally honest eBay review. Prepare for some straight-shooting! #MercuryInSagittarius

Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, and those little chocolates you can never resist, is hanging out in Libra. Expect romance to feel as balanced as a perfectly calibrated seesaw. Just don't let it tip over into obsession, unless it's with sustainable living. That's always sexy. #VenusInLibra

Meanwhile, Mars, our fiery planet of action and ambition, is also in Sagittarius. It's like a Red Dwarf marathon over there! Don't be surprised if you feel the urge to charge head-first into your goals, like a bull chasing an eco-friendly matador. #MarsInSagittarius

Jupiter in Taurus is serving us generous helpings of practicality. It’s like the universe is offering you an intergalactic Groupon voucher for a crash course in common sense. Use it wisely, my friends. #JupiterInTaurus

Saturn is chilling in Pisces, reminding us all to consider the bigger picture. Or in this case, the bigger fish tank. It's like a cosmic hint to get your act together and stop being as aimless as a starship without its navigation system. #SaturnInPisces

Uranus in Taurus is shaking things up with some unexpected changes. You might feel like you've been teleported to a parallel universe where everything is green and recycling is the law. Embrace it! #UranusInTaurus

Solar wind parameters were at near nominal levels. As measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, total field ranged 3-5 nT, the Bz component near neutral or northward, and solar wind speeds averaged just under or at 450 km/s. Phi was predominantly positive.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.
