Solar activity was at low levels with only C-class flares. The largest flare of the period was a C5 from old AR 3559. Region 3567 (N20E70, Cso/beta) remained the largest and most complex group in view. New Region 3568 (S10W28, Bxo/beta) was numbered and was inactive. The other numbered regions were unremarkable. Multiple CMEs from eruptive prominence activity were observed, but none are anticipated to be Earth-directed.
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 slightly enhanced, likely due to negative CH HSS influence. Solar wind speed was between 45-500 km/s. Total field was at 4-5 nT, and the Bz component was +/- 5 nT. Phi was negative.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Well, well, well, space cadets! It's that time of the cosmic cycle again where serious Saturn is taking a dip in dreamy Pisces, and let me tell you, it's not just a leisurely swim. Think more like a rigorous high school swim test with floaties. And oh boy, is it 1,587,009,653.361475945km away from being a walk in the park. Literally!
First things first, though. This ain't a time for doomscrolling or binge-watching alien invasion documentaries. Nope, Saturn in Pisces is your golden ticket to introspection-land, where daydreams of writing that sci-fi novel or opening up a vegan cheese shop (yes, it's a thing) can take root. So, grab your cosmic popcorn and tune into the planetary Netflix.
But hold onto your telescopes, because this isn't just some celestial romcom. Saturn, the universe's strict headmaster, is barging into your dreamland like a nosy landlord - no "Keep Out" signs will deter this cosmic disciplinarian! If you're not ready, you might feel like Saturn's playing an intergalactic game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey...with your dreams as the donkey. The key here is to embrace the intrusion, offer him a cup of cosmic tea, and listen. As annoying as his advice might be, it's probably worth its weight in stardust.
Now, with all this buzz in Pisces territory, you might feel as restless as a caffeinated comet. You might even have trouble sleeping, as cosmic thoughts swirl around like a galaxy in your brain. So, get zen, my friends! Meditate, take a moonlit stroll, breathe like you're in a yoga class on Mars, or even take a catnap (just keep that dream journal handy!). If you need to hit the cosmic hay a bit early, do it. There's no shame in catching some extra zzzs in the name of planetary enlightenment.
So gear up, space cadets! Saturn in Pisces is going to be one heck of a galactic ride. Just remember to stay open, stay calm, and for goodness sake, keep Saturn's cosmic tea warm!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 05' 43", moving at 0 degrees per day, and is 2908662233km away and receding.
Are you ready for the cosmic rodeo, folks? Uranus, the celestial Mr. Unpredictable, has decided to bunk with Taurus, who is essentially the universe's version of a comfort-loving couch potato. Picture this: a cosmic bull forced to dance the jitterbug. Yes, that's right, our good old Taurus who would rather binge-watch the latest space opera than deal with sudden changes. But guess what? Uranus didn't come here to play by the rules, and Taurus's Netflix subscription is about to get a serious workout!
Our bovine buddy Taurus loves money more than Scrooge McDuck going for a swim in his gold vault. But with Uranus crashing at its place, get ready for some serious financial innovation. We're talking quantum cryptocoins, intergalactic banking, and maybe even an alternative stock market based on alien tech shares. Uranus is like a cosmic Steve Jobs and he's in Taurus-town till 2026! Buckle up, because banking as we know it might just become as obsolete as a floppy disk.
On a personal note, this celestial commotion isn't just about shaking up Wall Street. It's also pushing us to reconsider our own relationship with money and possessions. Do you feel trapped by your mortgage? Suffocated by your credit card debt? Or simply overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you've accumulated since the Big Bang? Well, Uranus is here to cut those golden chains! It's time to Marie Kondo your finances, folks.
Yes, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic KonMari method for your life. Declutter, simplify, innovate, and most importantly, adapt. Resistance is futile when you're dealing with a planet-sized rebel. But don't worry, this isn't about chaos; it's about liberation. The changes we make during this period will lead us to a more stable and sustainable future. So let's embrace this cosmic rodeo, and remember, even in the most turbulent stardust storms, there's always a rainbow waiting on the other side.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 44' 48", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4576590279km away and receding.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 00 Aqu 19' 52", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 5372072515km away and approaching.
Alright, star gazers, fasten your seatbelts because we're about to embark on a cosmic journey of change on a scale that would make even Dr. Who's eyebrows arch. Pluto, our frosty friend from the outer reaches of the solar system, has taken a break from its social distancing and is currently making its way through Aquarius - the eccentric, forward-thinking sign known for its love of progress and Wi-Fi signals.
Now, when I say Pluto is the planet of transformation, I don't mean it's the kind that promises you'll look ten years younger with just one snail cream application. No, siree! Pluto is the celestial equivalent of a deep-cleanse detox, scrubbing away old, useless habits and beliefs, and leaving us shiny and new - like a freshly rebooted smartphone.
Interestingly, Aquarius and Pluto share a common interest - they both adore a good renovation project. So, when you blend their energies together, brace yourself for a planetary overhaul that could make even HGTV envious. We're talking about a shift in science, technology, and perhaps even space tourism (fingers crossed for affordable tickets!).
But this isn't just about the next iPhone model or discovering alien cat memes. No, this transit is also about embracing a more inclusive, empathetic perspective. Picture governments and systems that normally bicker like seagulls over a chip, suddenly finding common ground and collaborating. It's like watching two rival chess players teamed up to beat a common opponent, except the opponent here is injustice and inequality.
In our personal lives, Pluto in Aquarius urges us to change our default settings from "self-preservation" to "collective betterment". Imagine if, instead of instinctively asking, "What's in it for me?", we started wondering, "What's in it for us?" Essentially, Pluto in Aquarius wants us to download this new social software. The question is, are we ready for the update?
And remember, folks, Pluto might be billions of kilometers away and smaller than our moon, but its influence is as undeniable as the laws of physics - or at least, as inevitable as losing your keys when you're already late. So let's grab this opportunity to transform ourselves and our world, one starry step at a time.

The Sun
There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony with women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.
When the Sun and Moon are in harmonious aspect, you may not be prepared for conflict and could be inclined to avoid rocking the boat. You may give in a little too often, if only to maintain a feeling of balance and harmony, as conflict is something not only disliked, it’s something you might fear. The tendency towards too much acceptance (of the self and of others) is most prominent with the trine. Question life, or run the risk of taking things for granted.
The Sun
Mercury
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.
