Retrograde Report for 7 December, 2023

There are currently 2 planets in retrograde:

Mercury, our favorite cosmic chatterbox, is currently in Capricorn. Expect your emails to sound as serious as a Vulcan discussing the principle of logical positivism. And don't be surprised if you find yourself saying things like "Live long and prosper" instead of "See ya later!" #MercuryInCapricorn #SpockEmails

Mars, the planet of action, is in adventurous Sagittarius. You might feel an irresistible urge to don your explorer's hat and set off on your own version of the Star Trek Enterprise. Just remember, even Spock knew when to rest. #MarsInSagittarius #StarTrekAdventures

Jupiter, the planet of luck, is in practical Taurus. This might sound as exciting as watching paint dry in zero gravity, but trust me, it's the perfect time to invest in those dilithium crystal stocks. #JupiterInTaurus #VulcanInvestments

Saturn, the taskmaster, is in dreamy Pisces. That's like Spock deciding to take up poetry. It might seem out of character, but it could also lead to some truly profound haikus. #SaturnInPisces #SpockThePoet

Uranus, the planet of change, is also in Taurus. Expect a few cosmic curveballs. Like finding out your pet Tribble is actually a Klingon spy. #UranusInTaurus #TribbleTroubles

And finally, Pluto, the little planet that could, is in Capricorn. It's

The moon is currently in Libra, at 06 degrees, 42' 48", at a velocity of 12.04 degrees per day.

Solar wind speed gradually decreased from over 625 km/s to end the period near 550 km/s as negative CH HSS influence began to subside. Total field strength was steady near 4 nT, Bz fluctuated between +/- 4 nT, and Phi angle remained in a predominately negative orientation.

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.
