Solar activity was at low levels with only C-class flares observed. Region 3559 (N27W32, Fki/beta-gamma) continued to be the largest spot group on the visible disk and produced occasional C-flares. Region 3561 (S17W71, Dac/beta-gamma) continued to decay as it rotates closer to the west limb and also continued to manage C-flares. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in coronagraph imagery.
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.
There is a 24% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 20% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Attention, fellow earthlings! Our rusty-red neighbor Mars has taxied its celestial spaceship into the realm of Capricorn. So strap on your bowties and fezzes, because things are about to get interesting...and possibly a little science-y.
Now, imagine if Daleks, our favourite plunger-wielding foes, swapped their "Exterminate, exterminate!" mantra with something a little more... practical. Instead of decimating planets, they're now focused on creating structure and stability. That's what Mars in Capricorn feels like. Although, let's hope they don't start chanting, "Organize! Organize!" It's just not quite as catchy.
With Mars in Capricorn, we’re all essentially becoming science-loving Daleks, looking at life through a more level-headed lens, minus the destruction of course. It’s all about planning, strategizing, and turning those sci-fi dreams into tangible realities. Just remember, it's okay to dream about building a TARDIS, but don't forget to also study quantum physics and temporal mechanics!
This cosmic combo is also a great time for setting clearer goals – or as I like to call them, 'blueprints for world domination' (the good kind!). Think of it as a time to upgrade your Dalek casing, ensuring you're rolling towards your aspirations with purpose and efficiency.
But, be warned. This Martian-Capricorn energy isn't exactly the cuddliest. It's got the sensitivity of a Dalek with a dead battery. So, while you're busy conquering obstacles and climbing the success ladder, don't forget to show some compassion. After all, we’re not actually Daleks, and it’s never cool to crush others under your metaphorical tank tracks.
So gear up for some serious Dalek-style productivity, but remember: no exterminations, okay? Instead, let's use this Mars in Capricorn energy to create, to build, and to better ourselves. Allons-y!
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 06 Tau 44' 18", moving at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 729335815km away and receding.
Alright stargazers, get ready for a celestial double whammy as Jupiter, our big ol' cosmic guru, belly flops into the comfy bean bag chair that is Taurus. It's like throwing a science convention in Las Vegas - a whole lot of knowledge in an atmosphere of indulgence.
With Jupiter in Taurus, it's like having Yoda in your pocket giving you wisdom nuggets. You know, those profound truths you already have within you but often forget because your phone's buzzing every five seconds. Time to push 'mute' and listen to your inner Obi-Wan Kenobi. This transit is a golden ticket to tap into your underused wisdom, kind of like finding a forgotten stash of bitcoin on an old hard drive.
Now, if you've been daydreaming about a big project or a goal (c'mon, we all have our "build a spaceship and go to Mars" fantasies), this is your time. Jupiter's 'can do' energy combined with Taurus' stubborn-as-a-mule determination makes for a cosmic pep rally. So, jot down those lofty ideas, and start ticking them off, one small step for man, one giant leap for your personal progress.
And here's where things get interesting. Jupiter, our friendly neighborhood planet of good luck, is shacking up with Taurus, the zodiac's very own Wall Street tycoon. This could mean a financial windfall, or at the very least, finding a tenner in your old jeans. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility! Don't let Taurus' love for the high life turn you into a reckless spender.
That's right, folks. When the planet of 'more is more' meets the sign that never heard a dessert it didn't like, there's a chance we might start mistaking our needs for our wants. That limited edition Star Wars figurine might seem essential now, but remember - patience, young padawan. Keep those impulses in check.
So, pull out your calculators, grab that dream journal, and get ready to tap into your inner wisdom as Jupiter boogies down with Taurus. It's going to be a cosmic ride!

Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is retrograde at 19 Tau 05' 20", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 2896116552km away and receding.
Goodness me, the cosmos is at it again! Uranus, that rebellious teenager of the celestial family, has gone and parked itself in sturdy, stable Taurus. Now, this could be a bit like inviting a hyperactive squirrel to a chess club meeting - chaotic, surprising, but potentially quite hilarious.
Taurus, bless its celestial socks, prefers the comfort of routine. But Uranus? Not so much. It's all about shaking things up, throwing out the old, and ushering in the unexpected. It’s like getting a surprise visit from a distant cousin who rearranges your living room and insists on cooking a seven-course meal using only your microwave. You may resist initially, but who knows, you might just end up with a more ergonomically pleasing lounge and a newfound appreciation for microwaved soufflés.
Now hold onto your wallets! Because when Uranus crashes Taurus' party, there's going to be some serious disruption in the cash department. We're talking potential changes in currency, banking shake-ups, and maybe even a game of seesaw with the housing and stock markets. Think of it as the universe's version of Monopoly – expect the unexpected, folks.
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is basically your eccentric Auntie Universe telling you to rethink your relationship with money and material possessions. Are you weighed down by debt, bills and mortgages? Feeling trapped by that antique vase collection you started but really can't stand anymore? Well, now's the time to break free.
So, ready or not (and let's face it, Taurus, you're probably not), change is coming. But don't worry, change can be good, even if it feels like you're trying to ride a unicycle through a hurricane. And remember, Uranus is not here to wreck your life, but to liberate you. So buckle up, cosmic voyagers, and let's see where this journey takes us. Here’s to greater stability, long-lasting transformations and the occasional cosmic giggle!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 36' 26", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4567001538km away and receding.
Alright intergalactic friends, I'm going to lay some heavy cosmic truth on you: Neptune is hosting a pool party in Pisces! Now, I know what you're thinking. "How can a planet host a pool party?" Well, my dear friend, that's a question for another day. For now, let's dive into the deep end of this cosmic gathering.
When Neptune - the universe's own water-world - decides to take a dip in the oceanic realm of Pisces, it's like a cosmic DJ spinning an ethereal trance track. The groove is all about unity and oneness. It's a celestial call to action - not to wage wars over whose star sign is the coolest (we all know it's Sagittarius, but let's not get into petty squabbles) but to come together, link arms, and hum Kumbaya.
This galactic alignment is your VIP pass to explore the depths of your emotional intelligence. What's your superpower? Can you sense a bad mood from a mile away? Or perhaps you have a knack for picking up on the vibes of a room faster than Spock can raise an eyebrow. Whatever your unique offering is, now is the time to channel it for the greater good.
Now, don't get all worried about what to wear to this cosmic soiree. Just bring an open mind, a willingness to connect with the sacred, and maybe a potluck dish of understanding or a six-pack of compassion. And remember, you're not alone in this journey. As long as Neptune's chilling in Pisces, we've got a divine lifeguard on duty. So, go ahead and take that plunge into the deep end of spiritual growth. Just remember to keep it groovy and respect the pool rules: no running, no heavy existential crises, and always have fun.
In the immortal words of Captain Picard: "Engage!"

Pour constructive energy and action into communication, writing, reading and anything of a mental nature. Do all your errands today. Your mind is active and it may be difficult at times to slow it down and relax. Your nerves are wound up and it may be necessary for you at some time today to force yourself to seek a quiet place and recoup your strength. Watch a tendency to argue with friends, display impatience, especially while driving, and to generally be on edge. Do not let your high energy level today cause you to become reckless or careless. Pay attention to the things you do and slow down a bit. Remember, discipline. You feel very self-assertive today. Do not let your ego ride roughshod over the people you deal with today. Control your temper AND your tongue. Avoid petty gossip and talking about people behind their backs.
