Solar activity decayed to low levels. Region 3590 (N18W65, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) produced a pair of C-class events, the largest a C3.9 flare at 29/0513 UTC. As the region approached the W limb, it still maintained a complex magnetic structure with a large delta persisting within its intermediate spots. Region 3595 (N20W10, Dko/beta-gamma) became more magnetically complex and increased in size and spot count throughout the period. New Region 3598 (S13W18, Hrx/alpha) emerged westward of Region 3592 (S13,L=165), which decayed to plage. A C2.3 flare was also observed on the ESE limb at 29/1334 UTC. The remaining regions were quiet and stable.
The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
Solar wind parameters reflected mostly background conditions. Total field was 5 nT or less and the Bz component was generally in a neutral orientation. Solar wind speeds reached a peak of around 425 km/s early in the period before beginning a gradual decrease to around 375 km/s. The phi angle was predominately negative.
There is a 15% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Grab your tinfoil hats, folks! Mars has hopped on its interstellar surfboard and caught the cosmic wave right into Aquarius. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Is this going to get all Independence Day on us?" Fear not, my star-gazing comrades. This is less about an alien invasion and more about an intellectual revolution!
With Mars in Aquarius, it's as if we've been gifted with a mental lightsaber. Our thoughts and ideas are our greatest defense against the dark side of conformity. Traditional thinking? That's so last solar cycle. It's time to imagine a future that even George Lucas would find mind-blowing.
Under this transit, societal problems stand out like a supernova in a star field. Aquarius, the zodiac's resident humanitarian and certified underdog advocate, is getting a serious power-up from Mars. We're not just identifying problems, we're seeing solutions as clear as a Vulcan's logic. And with this comes an opportunity for radical change that's rarer than a comet sighting.
Now, I won't lie, following rules during this transit feels about as comfortable as a Wookiee in a speedo. Why should we? Mars in Aquarius is a rebel, shaking off the dust of old ways. It's like we've collectively channeled our inner Doctor Who, ready to explore new dimensions of thought and action. So, let's liberate ourselves from the gravitational pull of the mundane and embrace the spectacular unknown. After all, the universe is our playground, and we're just starting to play!

Alright, star gazers, brace yourselves! We've got Saturn currently parking its cosmic caboose in Pisces and it's about 1.6 billion kilometers away. Don't worry, I checked the math twice! Only a hop, skip, and a wormhole away, right? Now, before you start fretting about potential extraterrestrial invaders, let's remember that Saturn is our friendly neighborhood disciplinarian planet. It's kind of like that really strict substitute teacher who pushes us to do better. Annoying? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely!
Saturn in Pisces is like having Yoda in your corner - it's all about introspection, intuition, and squeezing wisdom out of those little green ears. It's the perfect time to take those fluffy daydreams and turn them into Starship Enterprises. Have you been thinking about penning your own version of War of the Worlds or opening an alien-themed café? Now's the time to grab a notepad, go full Vulcan, and logically plan out how to make it happen.
But be warned, my celestial cherubs, Saturn in Pisces isn't all stardust and unicorn planets. When Saturn starts poking around our most cherished dreams, it can feel like a Star Trek red shirt moment – vulnerable and a bit attacked. But remember, just like Spock, Saturn means well. It's here to help us clean up our cosmic clutter and streamline our starry goals, not vaporize us with a phaser.
Pisces, our twelfth house tenant, is the dreamer of the zodiac, and with Saturn visiting, you might find yourself tossing and turning like a malfunctioning android. So this is a great opportunity to practice some interstellar self-care. Meditate, take a moonlit walk, breathe like Darth Vader (he was onto something with that rhythmic breathing), or nap with a dream journal at your side. And hey, it's perfectly okay to tuck in early – even the Doctor needs his beauty sleep!
So strap on your space boots, folks. This Saturn in Pisces transit is inviting us to boldly go where no man, woman, or astrologer has gone before – deep within ourselves. Let's make the most of this cosmic voyage!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 35' 12", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2983941256km away and receding.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces

Strap on your space goggles and pull up your cosmic swim trunks, star gazers, because Neptune, that big blue ball of mystic vibes and liquid love, is throwing a celestial pool party in the sign of the Fishes, Pisces. And let me tell you, it's going to be out of this world! Literally… it’s 4.6 billion kilometers away. But hey, who's counting? Certainly not the universe's favorite nerd astrologer!
Now, this ain't your ordinary suburban splash fest. Oh no, Neptune in Pisces is all about diving headfirst into the deep end of our emotions and surfacing with a handful of spiritual gold. It's like a cosmic treasure hunt where X marks the spot on your heart. You'll find yourself suddenly having the clarity of a Hubble telescope, recognizing how silly it is to sweat the small stuff when we're all just stardust floating on a big rock in space.
So, what's Neptune's party favor for us all? Well, it's a call to action, or rather, a call to passion. We each have our own unique gifts – perhaps you can knit a mean pair of socks, or maybe your homemade guacamole could bring world peace. Whatever it is, now's the time to hone it, share it, and ultimately use it to contribute to our collective cosmic journey. Embrace the "one for all, all for one" mindset... just remember to leave your ego at the door – it won't survive the trip through the asteroid belt.
Maybe you've been itching to delve into that spiritual book gathering dust on your shelf, or you've been eyeing that empty corner for a peaceful meditation spot – now's the time. With Neptune in Pisces, we're getting a VIP invite to connect with the sacred within us and around us. And don't worry, it's not like you'll be swimming solo. Neptune's got your back, buoying you up as you dive into this cosmic exploration.
So come on in, star swimmers! The water's just right, the cosmic currents are favorable, and there's plenty of room in Neptune's pool. Just remember to bring your own towel... and maybe a snack. Space swimming really builds up an appetite.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 01 Aqu 13' 23", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 5343115788km away and approaching.
To boldly go where no man has gone before...or at least not for a whopping 248 years. That's right, folks! Our celestial buddy Pluto is doing the cosmic conga line into the sign of Aquarius, and it's about to make Star Trek look like child's play.
Let me break it down for you: Pluto is the planet of transformation. And I'm not talking about that awkward puberty phase or attempting to grow a quarantine beard, no sir. Pluto's transformation is like turning a caterpillar into a butterfly, a chunk of coal into a diamond, or a shy nerd into a superhero. It's about a deep, profound change, like shedding a skin you didn't even know you were wearing.
Now, let's add Aquarius to the mix. This isn't just your quirky, space-loving friend who has a tinfoil hat collection. Aquarius is the harbinger of progress, a forward-thinker, the one who's always got an eye on the future. Put these two together, and you've got a recipe for some serious paradigm-shifting action.
Don't be too surprised if you see some monumental leaps in science, technology, and extraterrestrial exploration during this time. But let’s not forget Aquarius's humanitarian side. We might witness revolutionary changes in civil rights and social justice. The power won't be with those who can shout the loudest, but with those who listen, empathize, and value the experiences of others. Heck, we might even see governments finding common ground, and not just because they discovered aliens exist.
On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is like your own personal life coach, urging you to transform your worldview. It's easy to think about numero uno, but what if we started thinking about everyone else too? What a radical concept, right? But that's the kind of daring, space-age thinking this cosmic combo wants to inspire.
So, will you answer the call? Or will you keep your phone on silent? Remember, in space, no one can hear you screen your calls.

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
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. Say what is on your mind, but give equal time to others and listen to them. You might learn something new. Your thinking today should be sharp and focused.
The Sun
The Sun
This transit is drawing your attention to living up to your responsibilities and doing your duty. You may feel limited and constrained today, but do not let that feeling keep you from living up to your obligations. Take care of business, then you will be truly free to do as you wish. Your energy level may be low, but do not use this as an excuse for not doing your best. Do not put limits and burdens on others. Guard against depression. You can accomplish quite a lot if you stay focused.
