Solar activity was at moderate levels. Region 3576 (S16W09, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) produced an M1.5/Sf flare at 10/0051 UTC and an M9.0 at 10/2307 UTC. The M9 flare had an associated 360 sfu Tenflare, and a Type II radio sweep (2170 km/s). Coronal dimming was observed is SUVI 195 imagery at 10/2308 UTC indicative of a CME liftoff. We are currently waiting on coronagraph imagery for analysis.
The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Alright stargazers, brace yourselves because Mars, the red hot planet of action and fiery passion, has just clocked in at the office of Capricorn, the zodiac's corporate ladder-climbing goat. Picture a space warrior in a three-piece suit, balancing spreadsheets while he's itching for a cosmic conquest. I know, it's a lot to process. But hey, that's the universe for you!
With Mars in Capricorn, it's like we've all been handed a celestial self-help book titled 'Get Your Act Together: A Practical Guide to Not Just Dreaming Big but Doing Big'. So, kiss goodbye to those whimsical daydreams and impulsive decisions. It's time to don your nerdy glasses, roll up your sleeves, and get down to the nitty-gritty of turning dreams into realities.
Here's the kicker, though. As Mars starts punching the time clock, it's not just about what you're doing, but how you're doing it. This is like the cosmic version of quality control. Every action needs a purpose, every goal needs a plan. The universe is basically giving you a friendly nudge (or a firm push, depending on how stubborn you are) to sharpen your focus and streamline your efforts.
Now, don't be fooled by this sudden shift to practicality. Both Mars and Capricorn love a good workout, and they're not afraid to break a sweat. This is the perfect time to tackle that project you've been putting off or start something new. And if you're sitting there thinking, "But I don't have a serious goal", well, my friend, it's high time you found one. With this much can-do energy swirling around, there's little you can't achieve if you stick to your plans.
But let's not forget, Mars and Capricorn aren't exactly known for their touchy-feely side. They're all about breaking barriers, even if it means stepping on a few toes along the way. It's like a cosmic version of 'Survivor', but without the immunity idol. So remember to balance this ambitious energy with a little compassion for yourself and others. After all, success is sweetest when it's shared, right?
So buckle up, fellow space voyagers. With Mars in Capric
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 08 Tau 28' 43", moving at 0.13 degrees per day, and is 767582809km away and receding.
Hey there, stargazers! Brace yourselves; our cosmic biggie, Jupiter, has parked its enormous self in the solid and steady sign of Taurus. It's like a celestial sumo wrestler deciding to take a nap on a sturdy, comfy couch. For those of you who've been so lost in the daily grind that you've forgotten your innate wisdom (yes, even you have it), this is your wake-up call!
Now, imagine if R2-D2 were your life coach. He'd be all, "Beep-boop-bop, make a plan for your dreams!" That's kind of what Jupiter in Taurus is doing. It's time to channel your inner droid, draft those to-do lists, and check off those tasks like you're playing astrological bingo. And remember, no one ever won a game by just staring at the board, so get moving!
And speaking of winning, Jupiter and Taurus are like the cosmic Powerball. Jupiter, the planet of good luck (and not just finding-a-dollar-in-your-jeans-pocket kind of luck), and Taurus, the zodiac's Warren Buffett, are conspiring to bring you prosperity. So, keep an eye on your financials, folks! You might just find a golden opportunity hidden in those spreadsheets.
But, beware! Taurus loves to indulge, and with Jupiter in the mix, it's like having an unlimited credit card in your favorite store. But remember, even in the galaxy, there's no such thing as free lunch. While it can be tempting to splurge, remember to differentiate between needs and wants. After all, you don't want to end up like Jabba the Hutt, do you?
So, strap on your space boots and get ready to make the most out of this cosmic event. And remember, the force is strong with you!
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 07 Pis 38' 31", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1596573950km away and receding.
Alright, my celestial chickadees, something groovy is happening in the cosmos, man. Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, is currently chillin' in the oceanic depths of Pisces. That's like 1596550899.330014229km away, for those who are into specifics. No biggie, just a casual space road trip.
Now listen up, because this ain't no ordinary lounging around on a waterbed kind of situation. When Saturn, the cosmic principal, splashes into the pool of our dreams and fantasies, it's time to turn those daydreams of yours into some serious action plans. Yes, I'm talking about that book you've always wanted to write, or that business you've been dying to launch. Now's the time to take your head out of the clouds and get down to brass tacks. Make a plan, Stan! Budget, Betty! Look into loans, Lenny! You catch my drift?
But don't think this is gonna be as sweet as a cherry pie. No siree! Saturn in Pisces can be a nosy Nellie, prying into your deepest, juiciest daydreams. Yeah, it can feel like your personal space has been invaded by a cosmic dad with a penchant for cleaning. But hey, sometimes that's what we need, right? So drop the defences, tear down those "Keep Out" signs, and let Saturn in. You might even learn something useful.
And here's a heads up, dudes and dudettes: with so much going on in the dreamy realm of Pisces, you might find it hard to catch some Z's. But don't panic! Instead, take this as an opportunity to dive deeper into the tranquil ocean of your inner self. Meditate, take a leisurely walk in the woods, or just breathe. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not keep a dream journal by your side? You never know what cosmic wisdom you might stumble upon in your dreams.
So, remember, my cosmic friends: when Saturn is in Pisces, it's not just about dreaming. It's about making those dreams come true. So grab your telescope, put on your favorite tie-dye shirt, and get ready to ride this cosmic wave!
Uranus

Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 11' 12", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 2936704872km away and receding.
Neptune

Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 00 Aqu 40' 39", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 5365615732km away and approaching.
Dear Star-Watchers, brace yourselves! Our dear friend Pluto, a sassy little planetoid with a penchant for transformation - and not just the "new hairdo, new me" kind, but the deep, soul-stirring change - has sauntered into the realm of Aquarius. And this, my astro-nerds, is as exciting as discovering that your lightsaber also doubles as an espresso maker.
Now, put on your lab coats and grab your telescopes because when Pluto gets chatty with Aquarius, the sign of progress, we're not talking about a minor software update. We're talking full-on system reboot, the sort that makes you question if your reality is more Matrix than Middle Earth. It's like getting a software upgrade from MS-DOS to quantum computing.
Expect to see changes that would make Spock raise an eyebrow. Scientific breakthroughs? Check. Tech innovations that'd make R2-D2 look like a wind-up toy? Double check. A surge in space travel until it becomes as common as catching a Uber ride? You bet your Vulcan salute on it!
But here's where it gets really interesting, folks! Prepare for a tsunami of humanitarian evolution. The heroes of this epoch won't be the ones with the biggest Death Stars, but those who can extend their hands across galaxies to work together. It’s a time when systems that previously played 'Game of Thrones' might just start humming 'Kumbaya' around a cosmic campfire.
On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is nudging us to take off our ego-tinted glasses and don a pair that sees us all as part of the same celestial family. It’s like Yoda whispering in your ear: “Think not only of yourself, but of all in the galaxy, you must.” So, will we rise to this interstellar challenge? Only time (and space) will tell!
So buckle up, my fellow space nerds, because the Pluto in Aquarius ride is like a hyperdrive trip through the cosmos. It's going to be an astronomical adventure of transformation that’s more mind-blowing than finding out Vader is your dad!
