Solar activity returned to low levels. Region 3576 (S17W51, Eki/beta-gamma-delta) remained the most complex region on the visible disk, maintaining a weakened delta signature in its largest intermediate penumbra grouping. Region 3583 (N09E01, Eki/beta-gamma) continued to grow in overall size while undergoing decay in its intermediate spots, and produced at C4.9 flare at 13/0138 UTC. However, an area of enhanced flux just beyond the northeast limb was the culprit for the largest flare of the period, which was a C5 at 13/0759 UTC. Region 3585 (N14E61, Hax/alpha) was numbered this period as it became visible, but was otherwise unremarkable. The remaining active regions were stable and relatively quiet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
Solar wind parameters indicated mild transient influences. Total field averaged 5-6 nT for a majority of the day. The Bz component underwent a prolonged, sustained southward deflection for most of the period reaching -5 to -6 nT. Solar wind speeds gradually decreased from near 500 km/s to just under 400 km/s. Phi was negative until approximately 13/1335 UTC when it became predominantly positive.
There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.

Alright cosmic nerds, it's time to polish those telescopes because Jupiter, that colossal gas giant we all love to marvel at, has decided to park itself in Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn sign. Think of it as if Jupiter is a wise old professor who's suddenly decided to take up residence in a bull's pen. Yeah, you can imagine the chaos.
This cosmic tango between wisdom and stubbornness reminds us that enlightenment isn't some mystical unicorn that we have to chase around the universe. It's right here, within us, sandwiched somewhere between last night's pizza and this morning's coffee. The challenge is to tune out the white noise of our own lives and tap into that inner wisdom.
Now, when Jupiter decides to shimmy with Taurus, it's like getting an intergalactic push towards your dreams. You'll feel an urge to make meticulous to-do lists (Taurus would be proud) and start ticking off items like there's no tomorrow. It's like having your own personal cheerleading squad consisting of a gas giant and a bull, urging you to trust the cosmic process and reach for the stars (or in this case, the next tangible goal).
Did someone say 'prosperity'? Because when Jupiter, the Santa Claus of the solar system, hangs out in Taurus, the zodiac's very own Scrooge McDuck, things tend to get a bit...well, prosperous. It's high time to do a financial health check and find opportunities for growth. Just remember not to blow it all on the latest Star Trek collectibles.
Here's where it gets tricky though. Taurus loves luxury the way a Trekkie loves a Star Trek convention. So when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, waltzes into this indulgent sign, we might find ourselves mistaking our needs for wants. In other words, that limited-edition Batman figurine might not be a 'need', no matter how much you want it to be. Keep those impulses in check, folks!
So buckle up, space cadets. It's going to be an exciting ride. Remember: Live long and prosper... but within your means!
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 08 Pis 00' 04", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1598393889km away and receding.
Alright, space cadets, buckle up because Saturn is taking the scenic route through Pisces, and it's about to get as surreal as a Salvador Dali painting. Now, you might be thinking, "Why should I care about some distant planet doing the cosmic cha-cha in a fishy constellation?" Well, my science-savvy stargazers, let me enlighten you.
When Saturn, the galactic taskmaster, finds itself dabbling in the intuitive realm of Pisces, it's like your high school principal showing up at a Phish concert – a bit out of place but definitely ready to enforce some order. This is the time when dreams stop being the stuff of la-la land and start getting real... or at least as real as they can with the hazy Piscean influence. So, if you've been daydreaming of opening a vegan taco truck or penning the next great sci-fi novel, now's the time to get that spaceship off the ground!
Of course, having the celestial disciplinarian in the house of dreams isn't always a space walk in the park. Saturn in Pisces is notorious for questioning our deepest desires, like a cosmic Dr. Phil, making us squirm uncomfortably in our dream bubble. But don't pull up the drawbridge to your imagination just yet! Instead, welcome Saturn in like an uninvited but surprisingly helpful houseguest who's ready to roll up their sleeves and give your dreams a deep clean.
As for sleep? Well, remember that '90s song 'Insomnia' by Faithless? You'll be humming that tune as Saturn in Pisces can make counting sheep harder than solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded. It's crucial to channel our inner hippie: meditate, take long walks in the woods, practice deep breathing, or even try interpretive dance (just don't record it). You may also want to invest in a dream journal, because when Saturn in Pisces talks, your subconscious listens!
So, space cowboys and cowgirls, let's ride the cosmic waves of Saturn in Pisces. Put on your swim caps, dust off your dream journals, and remember, in space, no one can hear you snore.
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 13' 48", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2944351341km away and receding.
Oh, cosmic travelers, hold on to your hats! Uranus, the rebellious teen of the solar system, has decided to crash on the couch of good ol' steady Taurus. Picture this: it's like Spock from Star Trek trying to organize a surprise party for Bilbo Baggins. It's bound to be awkward, mildly chaotic but ultimately a blast!
Taurus, our celestial Bull, loves routine. It's like that grandpa who still uses a rotary phone and insists that vinyl records are the best. But here comes Uranus, with its 360-degree turns and space-age tech, ready to shake things up. Taurus might grumble, but we should all know by now that change is as inevitable as the Star Wars franchise releasing another sequel.
Now, Taurus is a money maestro. It could give Scrooge McDuck a run for his gold coins. But with Uranus in residence, expect some radical crypto-currency concepts, banks adopting VR customer service (Hello, Hologram Teller!) and maybe even a stock market rollercoaster that would make even the most seasoned Wall Street wolf dizzy.
On an individual level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic decluttering session. It's time to Marie Kondo your finances and your material possessions. That crippling debt? Zapped! Those credit card interests that multiply faster than tribbles? Poof! And the relentless rent and mortgage payments? Well, Uranus is here with its cosmic wrecking ball to shake things up.
Resistance is as futile as trying to argue with a Dalek. Uranus doesn't do 'slow and steady.' Its mission? To liberate us from financial chains. It might seem scary, like watching a science fiction movie from the 60's, but trust me, it'll lead to greater stability. And these changes, much like the popularity of superhero movies, are here to stay.
So buckle up, stargazers. We’re in for one cosmic ride that’s sure to be more thrilling than any Star Trek vs Star Wars debate! Beam us up, Uranus!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 26 Pis 11' 07", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4599114879km away and receding.
Alright, stargazers, strap on your rocket boots and grab your helmets because Neptune has parked its astral RV in the mystical territories of Pisces. Now you might be thinking: "Hey, isn't Neptune just a big blue ball of gas, 4599078973.233444214km away?" Well, yes... and no. Remember, we're dealing with astrology here, not your high school physics textbook. So, bear with me.
Here's the gist: When Neptune, the king of dreams and illusions, decides to take a swim in the cosmic pool of Pisces, things get a little... well, trippy. It's like if Spock decided to join a poetry slam or if Yoda traded in his lightsaber for a magic wand. There's a fascinating fusion of emotion and spirit, where all our earthly bickering seems as pointless as arguing about the best Star Trek captain. (We all know it’s Picard, right? Though a case could be made for Janeway...)
This cosmic shuffle is like a call to arms—or rather, a call to hearts—for each one of us. We're being invited to step up, don our superhero capes, and contribute to a grand, collective dream. A dream where peace rules, love conquers, and nobody ever has to argue about whether or not Pluto is a planet.
So, how do we answer the call? Well, this is the perfect time to dive into that spiritual journey you've been contemplating. Maybe you could meditate on the mysteries of the universe, take up yoga, or even build a shrine to honor Neil deGrasse Tyson. Just remember, friends, the energy of Neptune in Pisces is your celestial cheerleader, rooting for you from afar.
So, go out there, embrace your inner nerd, share your ideas with the world, and remember: in space, no one can hear you laugh... or can they?
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 00 Aqu 46' 08", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 5362980246km away and approaching.
Alright, stargazers, strap on your space boots! Pluto, the cosmic equivalent of a deep house clean, is sauntering through Aquarius, the zodiac's resident mad scientist. This is like having Spock and Captain Kirk stuck in a shuttle pod together – expect sparks, surprises, and maybe a dramatic monologue or two!
Pluto isn't about giving you a fresh coat of paint. No, this planet is more into the gut renovation of your soul. It's about tearing down old, moldy wallpaper of outdated beliefs and laying the foundation for something better, like a cosmic version of Extreme Makeover: Soul Edition. And when it teams up with Aquarius, a sign that's all about pushing boundaries and saying, "Why not?" to the impossible, we're in for some serious progress.
During this transit, don't be shocked if we make leaps in science, technology, and heck, maybe even finally figure out how to teleport (I'm looking at you, Elon Musk). But beyond our tech toys, we'll also see shifts in how we view each other as humans. Empathy and understanding will become the new cool kids in town, outshining outdated systems of power and control. Forget about laser guns, the real power will be in cooperation and compassion.
On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is like a galactic life coach, challenging you to rethink your place in the universe. Instead of asking, "What's in it for me?", try wondering, "How can I make things better for everyone?" That's a radical thought, isn't it? It's like flipping the script on survival of the fittest and playing survival of the kindest instead.
So, are you ready for this cosmic rollercoaster ride? Because Pluto in Aquarius is your ticket to a future that's brighter, kinder, and just downright cooler. Beam me up, Scotty!
