The Sun

Solar activity was at low levels, with only low-level C-class flares observed. Region 3540 (S17W59, Cai/beta) and Region 3541 (S20W61, Cao/beta) along with Region 3552 (S22W53, Cao/beta), make up a complex grouping of spots that continue to evolve and feed (magnetically) off of each other. Despite the constant maneuvering and evolution of spots, only C-class flares have been observed from this area thus far. The remaining numbered regions on the visible disk continued to be unimpressive, and were either mostly stable or in gradual decay.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.

Persistent peak tracking errors on DSCOVRs faraday cup instrument continued to make accurate measurements of the solar wind parameters difficult. When peak track tracking seemed reliable, solar wind parameters were near background levels. Solar wind speeds averaged near 350 km/s, total magnetic field strength was between 2-10 nT, and Bz values ere between +/-5 nT. Phi angle was variable through 15/0945 when it moved into a predominantly negative orientation.

There is a 25% 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 Moon

The waxing moon is currently in Aries, at 00 degrees, 54' 38", at a velocity of 14.31 degrees per day.

The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 5.3 days old. It is 364274.21 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 Aries

Greetings, cosmic navigators! Buckle up, because our celestial satellite, that incandescent lunar disco ball we call the moon, has just pulled a fast one and swung into the fiery sign of Aries. Now, if you're thinking the moon in Aries is about as harmonious as an alien invasion during a Star Trek convention, you're not entirely off. But let's break this down with some Space Age humor and a dash of scientific fact, shall we? At this very moment, the moon is exactly 367,333.647288112km away – give or take a few millimeters because, let's face it, even the universe isn't perfect. That's about the same as going around the Earth's equator 9,150 times, or about as far as driving to your local grocery store and back 91,500,000 times. So, yeah, it's pretty far. Now, what does this mean for us mere mortals? Well, with the moon in Aries, expect your emotions to be more ignited than a rocket at a NASA launch. Aries, symbolized by the Ram, is all about action, motivation, and occasionally butting heads like a pair of ornery mountain goats over the last bag of organic kale chips. This lunar position is not for the faint of heart. It's about taking risks, lighting the fuse on your dreams, and skyrocketing towards them faster than light speed. But remember, while Aries encourages us to go boldly where no one has gone before, the moon reminds us to keep our emotions in check. Don't let your impulsive Aries energy turn into a supernova of regret. Over the next few days, harness this celestial energy to conquer challenges with the force of a comet. But don't forget to keep your feet on the ground. After all, even astronauts need to come back to Earth. So, in the immortal words of Captain Kirk: "Risk is our business". But maybe just keep it to a minimum until the moon decides to saunter into a more chill astrological neighborhood. Until then, may the force be with you, space cadets!

Mercury

Mercury is in Capricorn

Mercury is prograde at 02 Cap 24' 48", moving at 1.16 degrees per day, and is 161540902km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Capricorn

Alright, space cadets, gather round and buckle up because guess what? Mercury – yes, that tiny, shiny planet that's always darting around like a hyperactive space squirrel – is currently doing its thing in Capricorn. That's right, Capricorn, the cosmic equivalent of your high school principal who had an inexplicable fascination with pocket protectors and trigonometry. Now, I can hear you groaning, "Not Capricorn! Anything but Capricorn!" But, let me tell you, folks, this isn't half bad. In fact, it's pretty stellar (pun intended). You see, when Mercury visits Capricorn, it's less like a chaotic party guest and more like a helpful personal assistant who loves color-coded spreadsheets. Our thoughts become clearer, we can sort our ideas like Tetris blocks, and our communication skills are sharper than Spock's Vulcan salute. But there's more! This cosmic alignment is also booting our ambitions into hyperdrive. And when I say hyperdrive, I mean the kind that makes Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon look like a toddler's tricycle. We're not just daydreaming here, we're blueprinting, strategizing, and readying ourselves to turn those dreams into dazzling realities. However, there's a teeny-tiny caveat to this whole Mercury-in-Capricorn situation. You see, Capricorn has this thing about pecking orders...think Sheldon Cooper with his Roommate Agreement. So, we might feel a bit bossier than usual, and our conversations may take on a 'my-way-or-the-highway' vibe. Remember, while we all think we're the next Einstein, arguing about who's the smartest won't actually get us to Mars (or even to the moon, for that matter). So, my advice? Use this time to think big, act decisively, and communicate effectively. But remember, a little humility goes a long way. After all, even Mercury, the swift-footed messenger of the gods, knew when to slow down and listen.

Venus

Venus is in Sagittarius

Venus is prograde at 21 Sag 16' 11", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 190642151km away and receding.

Venus Is In Sagittarius

Whoa, Venus just pulled a Neo in Sagittarius!

Strap on your space boots, cosmic cadets, because Venus just Matrix-jumped into Sagittarius and things are about to get intergalactic! If you've been hiding your heart like it's the last slice of pizza at a party, now's the time to share it. Sagittarius brings out Venus' inner party animal, encouraging us to YOLO our way through life with the gusto of a cat chasing a laser pointer.

Remember, Sagittarius is the cosmic Indiana Jones, so with Venus holidaying in this sign, we're all going to feel like swapping our Netflix binges for wild escapades. Breakups with monotony are predicted, and daring ventures are on the horizon. Think of your comfort zone as an old pair of underwear - necessary, but sometimes you gotta break free!

Ever heard of commitment issues? Well, they might just be renamed 'Venus in Sagittarius' problems. The love forecast during this period is breezy with a chance of flings. Couples, why not plan a spontaneous trip to somewhere you can't pronounce or learn how to make sushi together? Singles, you might find love in the most unexpected places, like a quantum physics lecture or a Star Wars convention.

Honesty is the best policy when Venus is in Sagittarius. We're all prone to exaggerate, like telling people you only had 'one' piece of cake (we see that frosting on your face). But remember, not everything that glitters is gold. Sometimes, it's just a disco ball in a dive bar.

Venus in Sagittarius has us all running after pleasure like it's a Black Friday sale. Be careful not to blow your budget on impulsive purchases - like that life-sized Boba Fett statue (although, it is pretty cool). Sagittarius loves a little risk, but let's not go full WallStreetBets on this one.

With Venus playing footloose and fancy-free in Sagittarius, it's time to adopt a glass-half-full approach. Put out positivity like it's going out of style and you'll find it coming back to you faster than a boomerang in a tornado. Now, get out there and live your best space-age life!

Mars

Mars is in Capricorn

Mars is prograde at 08 Cap 42' 40", moving at 0.75 degrees per day, and is 355229882km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Capricorn

Greetings, fellow star gazers and Trekkie enthusiasts! Just as Captain Janeway would deftly navigate through the Delta Quadrant, so too are we navigating our own personal cosmos. So, buckle up, because Mars has just pulled into the Capricorn terminal, and folks, it's not here for a Klingon opera performance. Now, imagine Mars as Captain Janeway: practical, determined, and always striving for the best. That's right! Our red planet is no longer orbiting in the land of whimsical dreams and impulsive Romulan ale-fuelled decisions. It's time to don our Starfleet uniforms, set our phasers to 'constructive', and boldly go where no man has gone before - into the realm of pragmatic planning and methodical actions. With Mars in Capricorn, it's all about purpose. Like a well-oiled warp core, we're being asked to question why and how we're doing what we're doing. Are we on a path to peace with the Borg, or are we just causing unnecessary interstellar conflict? This celestial transit is providing us an opportunity to readjust our navigational charts and set a course for more efficient and effective goals. But remember, both Mars and Capricorn are like Starfleet officers: they love a good challenge and aren't afraid of a little tricorder-wielding elbow grease. Now is the perfect time to initiate that new project, like constructing your own holodeck, or finally finishing that Klingon language course you've been putting off. However, let's not forget: while Mars in Capricorn can give us the determination of a Starfleet captain, it can also make us about as sensitive as a Ferengi at a charity event. So, while you're climbing that corporate ladder or inventing the next warp drive, don't forget to show a little compassion, for both yourself and others. So, in the immortal words of Spock, "Live long and prosper," and remember, no one likes a tyrannical space overlord. Mars in Capricorn is here to remind us all that with great power comes great responsibility... or was that Spider-Man? Anyway, you get the point! Until next time, keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Buzzkill?

Alright, space cadets, brace yourselves because Jupiter's decided to crash on Taurus' couch, and things are about to get interesting. Or rather, possibly a bit slow. And methodical. And... practical. Yep, you heard me right. When the planet of wisdom and deep thoughts parks itself in the zodiac's most stubborn sign, we're all in for a cosmic reality check.

So, you've got dreams, right? Big, lofty, reach-for-the-stars kind of dreams. Well, Jupiter in Taurus is here to remind you that those dreams need a solid foundation. This isn't just about shooting off into the cosmos willy-nilly; it's about drawing up blueprints, calculating fuel requirements, and checking all systems before launch. Basically, your spiritual journey now comes with a spreadsheet.

But don’t start mourning the loss of spontaneity just yet! Jupiter in Taurus isn't here to be a buzzkill. It's here to turn our pipe dreams into actual, tangible realities. Yes, it means more spreadsheets and less wild abandon, but hey, who doesn't enjoy the satisfaction of ticking off items on a well-planned to-do list?

And let's not forget the potential perks. Jupiter is the planet of good luck, and Taurus is all about wealth and money. Put the two together, and you've got a recipe for potentially lucrative ventures – like striking gold on an asteroid, or inventing a time-traveling DeLorean. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground (or at least in the general vicinity of Earth).

Last, but not least, remember that Taurus loves the finer things in life. Luxury is its middle name. But when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, checks in, it's all too easy to go overboard. In other words, be cautious about splurging on that anti-gravity yoga set or the latest Martian moisturizer. Jupiter in Taurus calls for practicality and patience – after all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Death Star.

So, buckle up, space cadets! It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Remember, every great journey starts with a single, well-planned step. Let's make it count!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 04 Pis 42' 58", moving at 0.1 degrees per day, and is 1567274331km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings, stargazers and cosmic enthusiasts! Pop those glasses on and kick back with a mug of your favorite chai, because we've got a celestial party happening right now and you're on the guest list. Saturn, our resident taskmaster, has decided to take a vacation in the dreamy realm of Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Saturn and Pisces in the same sentence? That's about as weird as a Klingon at a Starfleet convention!" And you're not wrong, my friends! You see, Saturn is the proverbial dad of our celestial family. He's like that quirky science teacher who loves to give pop quizzes just to keep us on our toes. He's all about discipline, structure, and hard work. And then there's Pisces, the ultimate daydreamer, spinning beautiful dreams and visions like Bob Ross paints happy little trees. So, what happens when the stern taskmaster wades into the ethereal waters of Pisces? Well, it's a bit like Leonard and Sheldon trying to figure out how to operate Penny's washing machine. It's going to get interesting! When Saturn takes a dip into Pisces, it's like a cosmic intervention, pushing us to take those daydreams and turn them into reality. It's time to dust off that novel idea or business plan you've been idly doodling during your lunch breaks. It's like getting a free consultation from a top-tier life coach, so grab a notepad and start jotting down all those nuggets of wisdom! But remember, no good thing comes easy. Saturn in Pisces might start poking and prodding at your dreams, asking all the tough questions. You might feel like you're defending your PhD thesis to a panel of Nobel laureates. But remember, Saturn isn't trying to crush your dreams. He's just making sure you're ready to turn those dreams into reality. And with all this introspection and dream diving, you might find yourself a tad restless. Insomnia anyone? But don't fret! This is the perfect time to channel your inner Zen master. Meditate, take a leisurely stroll among the trees, or indulge in a mid-afternoon nap (just don't forget your dream journal!). And make sure you're catching enough Z's at night. Remember, even Einstein needed his beauty sleep! So there you have it folks, a crash-course in Saturn-in-Pisces 101. Remember, space cadets, keep your minds open and your hearts

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 19 Tau 08' 29", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 2871896867km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, star gazers and fellow astro-nerds! Gather 'round the cosmic campfire, because it's time to talk about the celestial mosh pit that is Uranus in Taurus. Now, if Uranus was a character from The X Files, it'd definitely be a shady government agent, always stirring up trouble, pushing boundaries, and causing inexplicable phenomena. And Taurus? Well, Taurus is more like your old-school librarian who prefers a quiet evening with a good book over all that cloak-and-dagger business. Now, imagine these two sharing a one-bedroom apartment for the next seven years. Yep. That's right. Seven. Years. I hope they've invested in some noise-canceling headphones... Taurus, bless its stubborn little heart, enjoys routine and stability. A sudden change in breakfast cereal can throw it into an existential crisis. But Uranus doesn't just bring change—it brings a cataclysmic, "Hold my beer while I rearrange the universe" kind of change. It's like a cosmic Marie Kondo, showing up unannounced to declutter your life whether you like it or not. Now, where Taurus really shines is in the world of finance (it's the Warren Buffet of the zodiac). But with Uranus in town, things are about to get wilder than a Bitcoin rollercoaster ride. Banks might freeze like a Windows '95 computer, new currencies could crop up like mushrooms after a rainstorm, and the housing and stock markets might do the cha-cha slide right off the edge of predictability. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like that vegan friend who constantly tries to persuade you to ditch your steak for a tofu scramble. It's urging us to reassess our relationship with money and material possessions. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages—these are the shackles Uranus wants us to shake off. So, prepare yourself for a wild ride, my celestial comrades. Buckle in and embrace the chaos. Because, like that one weird episode of The X Files, it might all seem a bit bizarre at first, but in the end, it's probably going to make you think, grow, and maybe even laugh. Remember, Uranus is here to liberate us, not to torment us. So, let's face the music, do the time warp, and trust that whatever strange new world we find ourselves in when the cosmic dust settles will be a better one. Over and out!

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 21' 36", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4545767632km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Alright, stargazers and space enthusiasts, put on your cosmic spectacles because it's time for some interstellar shenanigans! So, our dear ol' Neptune, that dreamy, aqua-blue giant is currently doing a foxtrot in the constellation of Pisces. Now, if you're thinking, "But I don't even have a telescope!" fear not, my friend. The beauty of astrology isn't about peeking through a lens, but embracing the cosmic ballet that unfolds across the canvas of our lives. Neptune, being 4,545,708,260.322061539km away, is doing its best long-distance relationship impression with Earth. And trust me, it's got a better signal than your Wi-Fi. It's also currently prograde, which in astro-babble means it's moving forward. So, if you've been feeling like you're walking backwards in clown shoes, consider this your celestial green light to strut forward with confidence. But let's dive deeper. Neptune's little dance in Pisces is like a cosmic recipe for spiritual Chicken soup. It's all about connecting, uniting and making peace with our inner contradictions. You know, those pesky internal battles that make you question whether pineapple really does belong on pizza. This is the time when we should be looking into our own personal grab bag of talents and figuring out how we can contribute to our collective progress. Maybe you knit like a boss or perhaps, you can whistle the entire Star Wars theme tune - you do you! Neptune in Pisces is here to remind us that our unique gifts are more than just party tricks, they're our contribution to the cosmic jigsaw puzzle. It's also a great time to explore the spiritual side of things. Ever wanted to learn yoga or meditation? Go for it! Want to build an altar in your home for your beloved plant collection? Absolutely! Just remember to share your journey with others. After all, we’re all just tiny specks on a blue dot in the vast universe, trying to connect over shared experiences and bad Wi-Fi signals. So, fellow earthlings, as Neptune continues its foxtrot in the dreamy realms of Pisces, let's embrace the universal call to unity, celebrate our individuality and remember - no matter what anyone says, pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 29 Cap 50' 41", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 5372473348km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Great Scott! Hold on to your DeLorean, folks, we're heading to the far reaches of our solar system where our icy buddy Pluto is hanging out in the ambitious realm of Capricorn. That's 5372466621.649345398km away, for those of you keeping track at home. Oh, and by the way, it's in prograde motion, which means it's moving in the same direction as us - just a tad slower, bless its heart. Now imagine, if you will, Pluto and Capricorn sitting down for a cup of cosmic tea. They both share a love for power and success, with a healthy dash of focus and determination thrown in. They're like the power couple of the zodiac, ready to take over the universe one planet at a time. But beware, my starry-eyed friends, this dynamic duo also has a tendency to overlook those with differing viewpoints. Remember, not everyone needs to have their ducks in a row, sometimes it's okay to have a few rogue geese. During this transit, Pluto is playing the role of the cosmic sanitation worker, urging us to clear out our emotional trash and negative patterns that are cluttering our spiritual garage. Sounds intense, right? But don't panic! It's all part of the process. Remember, even the Big Bang started with a bit of constructive destruction. So, what's the takeaway? Be mindful of what you're tossing out into the universe and what you're keeping close to your heart. You're the captain of your own spaceship, after all. And remember, "Where we're going, we don't need roads..." But a little astrological insight wouldn't hurt, right?

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 Ali

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.

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.

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.

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.
