Solar activity reached moderate levels this period. Region 3590 (N18W01, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) persisted as the largest and most active region on the disk, with penumbral growth evident in the leader spot group. Over the past 24 hours, the region produced four M-class (R1-Minor) flares, the was an M4.5 at 24/0634 UTC. Region 3593 (S07, L=307) decayed to plage while little change was observed across the remaining four spotted regions. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected.
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, buckle up, space cadets! Mars, the red planet, our cosmic co-worker in the solar system, is currently residing in the innovative realm of Aquarius. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Is Mars having a midlife crisis? Why is it suddenly hanging out with the eccentric Aquarius?" Well, because it's Mars, and it does whatever it wants, that's why!
But let's get nerdy for a sec - the distance between us and Mars right now is a whopping 333325158.242885351km. That's like traveling around the Earth more than 8300 times! Anyway, back to the Astro-stuff. Mars’ transit through Aquarius is turning this otherwise chill sign into a warrior for change. Think of Aquarius as the cool, aloof hipster of zodiac signs and Mars as that fired-up friend who finally convinces them to start their own craft beer revolution. It's not about physical combat, nope, we're talking intellectual warfare here, my friends!
Mars in Aquarius is all about pioneering new thoughts and bold plans. Set aside your preconceived notions, forget the box, heck, forget that the box ever existed! This isn't the time for following the status quo but for creating a new norm. Aquarius, the true humanitarian, is ready to step up to the plate for the underdogs. And with Mars acting as the coach, oh boy, we are in for some serious societal home runs!
Remember folks, with Mars in Aquarius, it’s about embracing your inner mad scientist, your revolutionary artist, your rebel with a cause. It might be difficult to follow the rulebook when Mars is shaking hands with free-thinking Aquarius. But hey, who needs rules when you're busy rewriting them? It's time to liberate ourselves from the old patterns, embrace the new, and grow, one intergalactic step at a time.
And as always, happy stargazing, fellow space nerds!
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 10 Tau 31' 40", moving at 0.16 degrees per day, and is 799373808km away and receding.
Beep-boop-beep! That's astrologer-ese for "Jupiter is in Taurus, folks!" And what does this mean for our humble little lives on planet Earth? Well, let's dive in, shall we?
Imagine, if you will, that Jupiter is Yoda and Taurus is a Jedi Padawan. Wise Yoda (Jupiter) is trying to teach the oft-stubborn Padawan (Taurus) that the force is not something to be sought after in a galaxy far, far away but, in fact, it's within us all. Yes, even you, Carl from accounting. Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic signpost, reminding us to dig deep, push aside the daily grind of stormtrooper battles and space politics, and tap into our own inner wisdom.
Now, are you sitting on a dream as big as the Death Star but can't seem to get it off the ground? Well, Jupiter in Taurus is like having your own personal hyperdrive. It's time to buckle down, make that intergalactic to-do list, and start checking off tasks faster than Han Solo can make the Kessel Run. Just remember, like every good Jedi knows, trust in the process you must.
But wait! There's more! Is your bank account looking a bit like Tatooine (read: barren and sandy)? Fear not! With Jupiter, the lucky Ewok of our solar system, in Taurus, the zodiac's resident financial guru, there's potential for a wealth boost. You might just find yourself rolling in credits like a Hutt at a podrace betting station.
However, let's not forget that Taurus, much like Jabba the Hutt, has a bit of a penchant for overindulgence. So, as we ride this cosmic wave, it's important to remember that not all that glitters is gold-pressed latinum. We have to be careful and patient with our impulses. Or in other words, don't pull a Greedo and shoot first.
So, in summary: Beep-boop-beep-beep-boop! (That's "Good luck and may the force be with you" in astrologer.)
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 09 Pis 20' 06", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1602146024km away and receding.
Alright, stargazers, strap in, because we're going on a cosmic surf trip. Saturn, the grand old taskmaster of the zodiac and a stickler for rules, has decided to dip its toes into the misty waters of Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Great, the Universe's grumpy grandpa is visiting my dreamscape." But hold your Martian horses, because this could be a ticket to an intergalactic enlightenment ride!
Think of it like this: Saturn is that schoolteacher who, despite all the extra homework, actually wants you to ace the exam. And in the realm of Pisces, the classroom is your inner universe - all those dreams and aspirations that are currently floating around in the nebula of your subconscious.
So, what does this mean for us earthlings? Well, it's time to think big, folks. Have you been daydreaming about writing the next big sci-fi novel or opening a quirky cat cafe on Mars? Now is the time to ground those dreams into reality. It's like having your personal life coach with a PhD in Cosmic Dream Actualization. So get out your notepad, start brainstorming and put those plans into motion.
But let's not sugarcoat the Milky Way here. Saturn in Pisces can be as sticky as an alien marshmallow. Saturn's going to question your dreams, poke holes in your theories, and might even throw a few black holes in your path. But remember, these are all tests designed to make your dreams foolproof. So instead of throwing up the 'No Trespassing' sign, invite Saturn in for a cup of cosmic tea and listen to what he has to say. Trust me, his advice is like a cheat code in the game of life.
And finally, with all this mental gymnastics going on, it's important we rest our minds. You might feel as restless as a caffeinated comet but remember to take time for self-care. Meditate, take long walks in the nebula (or the park), and get plenty of sleep. Think of it as recharging your cosmic batteries. It's the only way to ensure you surf the waves of Saturn in Pisces with style and grace.
So buckle up, stargazers! Saturn in Pisces is here to turn your dreamscape
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 27' 12", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2971874242km away and receding.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 26 Pis 34' 06", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4611735444km away and receding.
Alright, space cadets, grab your telescopes and point them towards Neptune, because our gassy neighbor is pirouetting through Pisces like a cosmic ballerina. It's a whopping 4611710887.272548676km away, but don't let that deter you – we've got the power of the cosmos on our side! And remember, it's currently prograde, so no need to adjust your binoculars, unless you've had one too many servings of your grandma's famous space-cake.
Neptune in Pisces is akin to Bob Ross painting a picture of Mr. Spock meditating. It's a swirling blend of emotion, spirit, and unification that can only be summed up with the phrase, "We're all stardust, dude." Suddenly, the mundanity of arguing over who left the cap off the toothpaste seems as futile as trying to calculate the square root of a black hole.
Our celestial shift-worker Neptune is ringing the cosmic lunch bell and beckoning us all to bring something to the interstellar potluck. Got a knack for knitting? Knit a sweater for a meteor. Good at baking? Bake some cookies shaped like constellations. Remember, my fellow stargazers, every one of us has unique gifts that can contribute to the cosmic consciousness.
Now is the perfect time to explore new spiritual paths, maybe even enroll in Jedi Academy or start a book club for Vulcan philosophy. Or perhaps you could create a sacred space in your home where you can connect with the universe, preferably not in the bathroom - trust me, the acoustics are terrible for chanting.
Remember, the energy of Neptune in Pisces is like a cosmic cheerleader, encouraging us to share our wacky, wonderful ideas with the world. And who knows? Maybe by sharing, we might just inspire others to dust off their telescopes and join in on the cosmic fun.
So let's embrace Neptune in Pisces, folks! After all, it's not every day a planet gives you permission to be your weirdest, most wonderful self.

You may feel like expressing yourself today through your thoughts and words. You feel a need to be heard, that you have something of importance to say.
