The Sun

Solar activity was moderate with three lower level M-class flares; the largest was an M1.5 (R1-Minor) flare at 11/1752 UTC. Background flux was in the C-class level and nine designated sunspot groups were present on the visible solar disk. Region 3539 (N10W56, Dai/beta) underwent some earlier new spot growth, followed by decay as the period progressed. It was also the source of the M1.5 flare. Region 3540 (S18W10, Cao/beta) also underwent some growth and decay, but most spots are in a negative polarity field. Region 3541 (S22W04, Esi/beta-gamma) underwent some decay, but retained its mixed polarity field, however, no strong magnetic shear was noted in magnetic maps. New Region 3547 (N19E19, Dso/beta) was assigned to a newly emerged, but inactive region. Finally, two new spot regions were observed. Both required USAF corroboration and time requirements before official designation can be attributed. However, one large symmetrical penumbral spot was located at approximately S21E75 and a small bipolar group at about S17E34.

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 indicative of a mildly enhanced speed realm with variable speed ranging from 400 to near 525 km/s. Total IMF strength decreased from 8 nT early in the period to under 5 nT later. The Bz component underwent only weak deviations. The phi angle was primarily in a positive sector.

There is a 15% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waxing moon is currently in Aquarius, at 02 degrees, 02' 41", at a velocity of 14.83 degrees per day.

The New moon is currently 0.8 days old. It is 367625.15 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 23:00:44, 9 Feb, 2024. The next full moon is at 12:31:19, 24 Feb, 2024.

Moon Is In Aquarius

Greetings earthlings, spacelings, and all those in between! The moon, our lovely lunar lady, has slipped on her bohemian Aquarius dress and is currently 363,454.789447378km away. (Believe me, I double-checked with my calculator watch.) But don't worry, she's not playing hard to get, she's just shaking things up in true Aquarius style. Now, don't go grabbing your telescopes thinking you'll spot her sipping vegan chai lattes or chanting about peace and love. No, no, our moon is far more sophisticated than that. She's simply vibrating at an Aquarian frequency, which basically means she's humming a quirky, rebellious tune that only Uranus appreciates. If you're wondering what this means for you, well, buckle up my little stargazers because things are about to get weird and wonderful. The moon in Aquarius wants us to embrace our inner geek, to let our freak flags fly and to push boundaries like they're big red buttons marked 'do not press'. So, whether you've been itching to start that quantum physics course, have a heart-to-heart with your houseplants or invent a time machine, now's the time! But remember folks, while Aquarius moon might be nudging us towards the unconventional, it's not an excuse to go full mad scientist. We're not trying to summon aliens here, unless they're bringing intergalactic cookies, in which case carry on! So, strap on your jetpacks, polish your pocket protectors, and let your imagination run wild. The moon in Aquarius is here, and she's ready for a cosmic adventure. Just remember to keep one foot on Earth. We wouldn't want to lose you to a black hole, now would we?

Mercury is prograde at 28 Sag 04' 36", moving at 0.99 degrees per day, and is 150601593km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Sagittarius

Mercury in Sagittarius: The Space Cowboy Rodeo

Alright, star gazers! Grab your telescope, saddle up your unicorn and put on your thinking caps because Mercury, that speedy little planet, has decided to kick up some stardust in Sagittarius. Now, imagine Mercury as a meticulous librarian and Sagittarius as Indiana Jones. Yeah, it's a bit like putting a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, but hey, that's cosmos for you!

With Sagittarius taking the steering wheel, we're going from zero to light speed in no time. Expect words to erupt like popcorn kernels, debates to sizzle like a solar flare, and ideas to shoot across the sky like meteors. But remember, kids, let's not leave our rationality at the launch pad. While we’re busy debating the nutritional value of Martian soil, let's not forget to appreciate the fact that someone else might be more interested in Venusian weather patterns.

And listen up! Just because Mercury is doing a cosmic tango with Sagittarius, doesn't mean we can let our words go galactic without a filter. Things might come shooting out of our mouths faster than a photon torpedo. Make sure to do a triple-check on your words, or you might end up looking like you’ve swallowed a malfunctioning babel fish.

Remember, Sagittarius is the cosmic equivalent of an explorer, so let your imagination take a joyride across the universe. Maybe it's time to finally take that scuba diving course, or perhaps you've been contemplating on a career change to become a professional alien communicator? Whatever it is, reach for the stars, and remember, the sky is not the limit, it’s just the beginning!

Pluto

Venus

Venus is in Sagittarius

Venus is prograde at 16 Sag 21' 54", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 187120986km away and receding.

Venus Is In Sagittarius

Beep boop beep! Welcome, fellow cosmic travelers. Buckle up, because Venus is currently chilling in Sagittarius, some 187078977.851109058km away (for those of you who aren't astrophysicists, that's pretty far). But fret not, my stardust-loving friends, for even in prograde motion, Venus has got our romantic backs. As Venus orbits around Sagittarius like a droid in a spaceship, our hearts seem to be doing the Macarena out of their hiding places. The party energy of Sagittarius gives Venus an extra boost, encouraging us to live life like we've just discovered an unlimited supply of Ewok snacks. It's time to socialize, try new things, and look for love in galaxies we've never considered before. Sagittarius, the intergalactic adventurer, lures us towards exotic aliens, unexplored planets, and experiences that make light speed travel seem dull. Say goodbye to the same old asteroid field routes and expired love potions - Venus in Sagittarius is your golden ticket to bigger, brighter, and better. But hey, don't pull on the hyperdrive just yet. Sagittarius hates being tied down more than a Wookiee hates a haircut. So while Venus is doing the tango in this sign, keep your love as light and open as the cosmos itself. Those in a relationship might need to plot a course to a new galaxy or learn how to speak Droid together. And if you're single, you might find love where you least expect it, like in a Jedi book club or a wormhole. Honesty and trust are as crucial as a well-oiled R2 unit during this transit. Everything might seem as grand as a Death Star, but beware of stormtrooper-sized exaggerations. Once the stardust settles, you might find that what once seemed great is just a regular old space slug. While Venus is in Sagittarius, we're all about the thrill of light speed, seeking pleasure faster than the Millenium Falcon can make the Kessel Run. Just be careful not to empty your wallets quicker than a Gamorrean Guard at a buffet. Sagittarius loves a bit of risk, and though financial extravagance can be as tempting as a new lightsaber, proceed with caution. Remember, with Venus in Sagittarius, the galaxy's the limit! The more positivity you radiate now, the more you'll attract - it's science

Mars In Capricorn: The Cosmic Business Meeting

Good day, stargazers! Grab your space coffee and let's get down to galactic business because Mars just clocked into Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Oh no, not another planetary board meeting!" But hear me out - this is the equivalent of having your favorite sci-fi hero, John Sheppard himself, strategizing your life plan. You might even find yourself enacting some of those crazy plans he'd dream up in the Pegasus galaxy.

Mars in Capricorn isn't about chasing alien fantasies or impulsively gate jumping to unexplored planets. Nope, it's more like meticulously calibrating the Stargate's DHD for accurate dialing. This transit wants you to step back, check out the whole cosmic chessboard, then make your move with all the strategy of a Wraith outsmarting episode.

But wait, there's more! The Mars-Capricorn combo isn't just about doing things, it's about doing things with a purpose. It's like asking yourself, "Why am I running from this energy-sucking alien instead of zapping it with my handy dandy particle magnum?" This transit is your chance to set clearer goals or, for the geekier among us, upgrade your life's software to a more efficient version.

Now, both Mars and Capricorn are no strangers to a tough workout. They're the types that would take on an entire squadron of Replicators for the fun of it. So, use this time to start that project you've been procrastinating on or finish that half-built Death Star model gathering dust in your closet. If Mars in Capricorn were a motivational poster, it'd read: "There is no 'try' - only 'do'... or 'do not'."

Now, a word of caution: neither Mars nor Capricorn are particularly known for their bedside manners. This toughness can help us break through barriers, but it can also make us as insensitive as a Replicator. Remember, folks, we're all star stuff navigating this cosmic journey together, so don't forget your space manners. Keep your phasers set to stun and your hearts set to compassion to balance the ambitious energy of Mars in Capricorn.

So, buckle up, space cadets! It's time to boldly go

Jupiter is in Taurus: Gravitationally Yours

Alright, space cadets. Buckle up, because we're headed for a celestial joyride down the cosmic highway, and our destination? None other than the Bull of the Zodiac, Taurus, where Jupiter has just set up camp. Now, I know what you're thinking, "How's Jupiter's new digs going to affect my life?" Well, hold onto your telescopes, because I'm about to drop some astronomical wisdom on you, G’Kar style.

Firstly, let's get one thing straight: Jupiter is no lightweight. It's the biggest planet in our solar system, so when it moves, it doesn't just shake things up, it causes a cosmic quake! And right now, it's shaking its groovy gas-giant vibes all over Taurus, the zodiac’s most chill sign. Imagine if a disco ball met a lazy boy recliner - that's what's happening in the cosmos right now.

Jupiter in Taurus is like adding rocket fuel to your dream machine. It's time to whip out those dusty bucket lists, folks! With Jupiter's zest for growth and Taurus' stubborn determination, you'll be ticking off those goals faster than light speed. Just remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were the pyramids of Giza. Patience, my dear stargazers, is key.

Now, let's talk moolah. Jupiter is the cosmic casino's jackpot, while Taurus is the high roller. Put them together, and you've got yourself a luck-filled lottery ticket. Just remember, with Taurus' penchant for indulgence and Jupiter's expansive energy, it might feel like every day is Black Friday. So, remember to keep that spending in check, or you'll end up with a cosmic credit crunch.

So, there you have it, my celestial comrades. Jupiter in Taurus is here to remind us that even in the vastness of space, wisdom is never out of reach, dreams are meant to be achieved, and prosperity is just a star away. Now, go forth and conquer your galaxy!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 04 Pis 18' 30", moving at 0.1 degrees per day, and is 1560782111km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Ahoy star-gazers! Grab your space snacks and strap in. Saturn has packed its bags and is visiting Pisces, making for a cosmic road trip that we're all invited to. Now, before you start imagining Saturn with a Hawaiian shirt and a camera around its "neck," let me explain. Saturn, aka Astrology's stern Headmaster, is taking a sabbatical in dreamy Pisces. Imagine the most disciplined, rule-abiding entity you know, deciding to take a dip into the ocean of daydreams. Sounds like a sitcom waiting to happen, right? Now, what does this mean for us mere mortals? Well, it's time to dust off those dreams that have been living rent-free in our heads. You know, the ones about writing a book or opening a business. It's all very exciting - like discovering a new element or cracking a complex code. But brace yourselves, because Saturn isn't here to simply daydream with us but to get us off our sofas and make us act on our dreams. It's like having a coach who knows what we're capable of, even when we're lounging in our pyjamas eating cereal straight from the box (not that I've ever done that). Still, let's remember this is Saturn we're talking about. Its idea of a fun time is pointing out flaws and demanding progress. So, if you suddenly feel like you've been caught red-handed during a secret jam session with your air guitar, blame Saturn. But hey, don't put up your "Do Not Disturb" signs yet. Saturn's advice is like a software update – annoying at first, but ultimately beneficial. Just remember to reboot (or meditate) regularly. Translation: Expect some restless nights as Pisces' dream realm clashes with Saturn's grind ethos. Remedy: walks in the woods, deep breaths, naps with a dream journal in hand, and maybe some melatonin. So, my celestial friends, let's welcome Saturn to Pisces and get ready for an astrological roller coaster ride. And remember, in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just stardust trying to figure things out. Peace, love, and quarks!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 19 Tau 11' 12", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 2862670548km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

In the style of Yoda, Uranus in Taurus you encounter

Fond of steadiness and stability, Taurus is. Hmmmm. Handle sudden changes well, it does not. But, all about sudden changes, Uranus is! Desire to cling to the status quo, Taurus does. Stick to the tried and tested, it wants. However, not always the best, the old ways are. Resist though we might, to the changes brought by Uranus in Taurus, surrender we must. Ride this wave, we have no option but to. In the end, arrive at a better place, we will. A surprise, this might be!

Money, the main expertise of Taurus is, yes, hmm. Uranus in Taurus, revolutionizes our handling and dealings with money, it will. Seven years, Uranus spends in Taurus. During this time, new forms of currency might appear, banking may halt or change dramatically, the housing and stock markets, a major shake-up they might experience. Like an exciting episode of Star Trek, it seems, hmmmm?

On a personal level, break free from the chains of money, Uranus in Taurus encourages us. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages - all these, prevent us from using or saving money the way we want to. Even feel trapped by our possessions, we might. Prepared we must be, during this transit, to change our relationship with money and materialism. A choice, we no longer have. To liberate us, Uranus is here. Digging in our heels and resisting, easier it will not make. Stop these changes from happening, it cannot. The changes we make during this period, bring us to greater stability, it can. Very long-lasting, they can be. The Force strong it is, in Uranus in Taurus, hmmmm.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune Is In Pisces

Alright, cosmic comrades, buckle up! We're going on a space journey, because Neptune is partying it up in Pisces. To give you some context, Neptune's thrown about 4.5 billion kilometers between us. Just a casual weekend road trip, am I right? Anyway, Neptune's doing the cosmic cha-cha and going prograde. Now, let's get serious...ish. Picture this: Neptune in Pisces is like putting on those rose-tinted glasses that grandma always warned you about, except instead of seeing everything as sunnier, we’re seeing right into the soul of things. It’s like having X-ray vision for emotions. Superman would be so jealous! Think about it, Neptune's all about unity and Pisces is the astrological poet laureate of feelings. Put them together, and you've got yourself a emotional enlightenment smoothie. All those petty squabbles and differences? They are as insignificant as Pluto was when it got demoted from being a planet. Rude, Universe. Rude. This cosmic cocktail is the perfect chance for us to dive deep into our own emotional sea and fish out the radiant pearls of our unique gifts. Who knows what you might find down there? Maybe a talent for underwater basket weaving or a passion for intergalactic opera! In the spirit of this celestial shindig, why not take up a spiritual hobby? Maybe start that meditation practice you've been thinking about, or turn that corner of your living room into a sacred sanctuary. You know, a place where you can talk to your plants without judgement. Remember, there is no wrong way to ride this cosmic wave. Neptune in Pisces is your personal invitation to explore, connect, and share your discoveries with the world. No pressure, though. After all, we're just tiny specks on a spinning rock in the vast cosmic soup. Now, isn't that a comforting thought?

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Ahoy, stargazers! Get ready for an astronomical intergalactic roller coaster ride, because Pluto - yes, that Pluto, the one we've all been debating whether it's a planet or not for years, has waltzed its way into Capricorn. And oh, boy, this is going to be interesting! First off, let's get our nerdy glasses on. Pluto is currently 5,370,903,873.100970268km away. Yes, you read that right! I know, I know, that's a lot of zeros. And if you are wondering what does prograde mean, it means Pluto is moving in the same direction as us. It's like cosmic conga line! Now, onto the astrological fun part! Pluto and Capricorn are both like that super-driven friend we all have who can't sit still and is always onto something big. They're the ones who'd compete in the triathlon and start a new business at the same time. They share a laser-like focus and a thirst for success that can sometimes make them forget that other opinions exist. During this transit, be careful not to bulldoze over people with your ambition, okay? Remember to respect the speed limit on the highway of life. But hey, Pluto isn't all about power hustles. It's also about cleaning house – metaphorically speaking, though if you feel motivated to do some actual cleaning, more power to you! Pluto encourages us to toss out the old habits that aren't serving us well. It's like Marie Kondo, but for your soul. If it doesn't spark joy, thank it for its service and let it go. But remember, just like playing Jenga, be careful about what you pull out and what you leave behind. Some things might look unnecessary, but they could be the ones keeping your tower from toppling over. So, in a nutshell: aim high, respect others, clean your metaphysical closet, and don't forget to laugh along the way. Because even amidst cosmic chaos, a good sense of humor can be your best compass! Happy stargazing, folks!

Today is a good day to pour your creativity and self-expression into coming up with new ways of doing things. Positive surprises are likely today as your aura is ready for the new and unusual. By going off the beaten pathway, you may open up many possibilities for further spiritual and personal growth. You feel free today from all restrictions and you want to fly like the eagle, unbounded by any restraints. Soar high and don't limit yourself.

Mercury

Confusion is likely today in your relationships with other people. Take care and read all the fine print. Stay away from taking permanent legal actions as your thinking is colored by who knows what. You may be suckered into something you don't want to do or don't believe in, so watch your step. Misunderstandings in communicating with others is possible. Remember, they may not be hearing what you are trying to say. Nervous anxiety and tension may make you feel listless today. Don't let your imagination carry you away.You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering. Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on your nature. Some of you are great storytellers.Sample interpretation from the Merlin report — Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in “your own little world” a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to “read” people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Donald Trump, Jim Bakker, Mae West, Spencer Tracy, Tom Snyder, Rich Little, Jack London, Bob Dylan; Oppositions – Bono (U2), Marlene Dietrich, Richard Chamberlain, Florence Henderson, Charles De Gaulle, Christian Dior.

Today is the day to expand and set new plans into action. Broaden your horizons and don't limit your possibilities. Business ventures are favored, as is higher education, legal matters, spiritual endeavors and charitable pursuits. Luck is all around you today, but you have to make it happen. Don't just sit there waiting for it to come to you.You tend to be restless and prone to boredom. You need a partner who can keep up with your lightning responses to your environment - and one who truly understands your love of intellectual competition and sparring.You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.Communication is important to you. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually, which is admirable indeed!Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don’t tire easily. Your interest doesn’t fade easily over time. — Interpretation sample from our LoveStyles report.This aspect indicates a harmony between your intellect and your physical strength, and you will most likely have little difficulty achieving your goals in life. It may appear to others that you are lucky sometimes, but you are also good at applying your talents to attain the desired results. You have a natural ability to be in the right place to grab new opportunities or to initiate a well-timed project. You are often successful in competition but sometimes may not even enter the contest because it doesn’t seem worth it to you.You are honest and forthright in your dealings with others, and you tend to trust others readily. You can be a bit careless about spending money, however, and this is probably because you are so eternally optimistic that there will always be plenty around. The possibility of failure does not enter your mind, although success itself is not that important to you–you’re just being you.In your relationships you are attracted to others who also seek a harmonious lifestyle. Your sexual nature is very strong, but you seek more than physical gratification from your mate. You want someone who will share in your life entirely and grow to know and understand you intimately. You appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don’t tire easily.

This is an important part of your attractiveness to women. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him report.Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report – Mars sextile Jupiter or Mars trine Jupiter: *Your self-confidence and vitality are strong and you believe you can do just about anything you want to. You have an enterprising spirit, a good sense of timing, and the ability to sense what will succeed and what won’t. You usually make fortunate decisions in work or business activities. You enjoy healthy competition and you have a rather playful, good-humored attitude toward it. You mostly compete with yourself to see how far you can go or how much you can accomplish. You like to keep stretching your limits.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report – You are usually able to direct your will to productive activities. You find the transcendent component in each relationship and build upon it. You exemplify joy in your daily activities.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report – You have developed the capacity to direct your masculine/active, yang energies in healthy and positive ways. Thus, you have confidence in your “masculine” strengths and abilities. Ennobled by ideals of fair play and concern for the broader social implications of your choices, your actions are most often fortunate, leading to success and increased opportunities. A gift for leadership and inspiring others is also yours. Physical playfulness is an important way you can re-create and rejuvenate yourself.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Sextiles – Bill Cosby, Drew Barrymore, Serena Williams, Richard Speck, Vanessa Redgrave, Robert Pattinson, Peter O’Toole, Oliver North, Galileo, Patrick Duffy, Phil Donahue, Catherine Deneuve, Danny DeVito; Trines – Upton Sinclair, J.

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.
