Solar activity was low, with Region 3599 (S12W02, Dai/beta-gamma-delta) continuing to exhibit growth and increased magnetic complexity, developing a delta configuration in its trailing spots. This AR was responsible for the vast majority of the C-class flares, the largest being a C8.3/1n at 07/0618 UTC. Region 3605 (S15E26, Dao/beta) was numbered as it developed throughout the day, but remained quiet. The remaining regions were stable and inactive.
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 a slightly enhanced environment, likely associated with a nearby transient. Total field strength reached 8 nT, while Bz observed weak, southward deviations to -7 nT. Wind speeds hovered near 400 km/s until after 07/1800 UTC, then increased slightly to average around 430 km/s. The phi angle was variable throughout the first half of the period, then settled into a mostly negative position after midday.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 10% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Alright stargazers, buckle up! Venus, the cosmic queen of love and beauty, is crashing the Aquarius party. If you thought your love life was a complicated algebra equation before, just wait till you factor in the power of Aquarius!
Aquarius, our quirky, humanitarian friend, is now hosting Venus, and they're throwing a 'friends becoming more' party. You know the ones, where you suddenly realize the person who has been hogging the Doritos all night is actually pretty cute. So, keep your eyes wide open folks, because love could be hiding behind those nerdy glasses at your weekly book club meeting.
With Aquarius running the show, emotions take a backseat and intellectual connection is the new sexy. It's less about sharing that tub of ice cream under a cozy blanket, and more about heated debates on whether Star Trek is better than Star Wars (it isn't). It's the perfect time for those of you who prefer a little less sugar with their sweethearts.
For those in relationships, Venus in Aquarius is like hitting the refresh button. It's time to connect over shared interests rather than candlelit dinners. Why not bond over saving the planet? After all, nothing says 'I love you' like sorting recycling together. This celestial shift gives you the freedom to be individuals within your relationship, so don’t forget to invest time in your own passions too!
Single and ready to mingle? Great! Venus in Aquarius is basically your wingman. The universe is encouraging you to embrace the unconventional in your pursuit of love. So, let your freak flag fly at social gatherings or even protests. Remember, in the world of Aquarius, weird is the new normal.
And let’s not forget about Venus' influence on our artistic taste. With Aquarius in the driver’s seat, it's time to embrace the unique and modern. Always wanted to try that neon green hair? Go for it! Thinking about splurging on that latest tech gadget? Now's the time.
So gear up, astro-nerds, as Venus in Aquarius promises a cosmic journey where love is refreshingly unique, and a dash of weirdness is not just welcomed, but celebrated!
Mars
Mars is in Aquarius
Mars is prograde at 18 Aqu 33' 01", moving at 0.78 degrees per day, and is 326398736km away and approaching.
Hold onto your pocket protectors, my celestial seekers, because Mars, that fiery red planet of action and assertion, has decided to crash the intellectual party of Aquarius. And let me tell you, it's like inviting Conan the Barbarian to a Star Trek convention. Confusing, intriguing, and definitely not boring.
Aquarius, typically as emotionally charged as a Vulcan, gets an adrenaline rush from Mars' warrior spirit. Suddenly it's not just about thinking up new ideas, it's about boldly going where no one has gone before. It's like upgrading from dial-up to quantum computing. Forget about the box, we're in a Tesseract now!
During this transit, injustices are as glaring as a redshirt on an away mission. Aquarius, our cosmic underdog champion, is supercharged by Mars to instigate change with the precision of a well-placed photon torpedo. We're not just identifying problems here, folks, we're crafting solutions faster than a replicator whipping up Earl Grey tea (hot, of course).
If you've been feeling more rebellious than a teenage Borg, blame it on Mars in Aquarius. It doesn't just break the rules, it rewrites them in Klingon. This is your chance to liberate yourself from old habits, like the dreaded red alert loop, and embrace a novel approach.
So grab your tricorder and set your phasers to 'innovate'. With Mars in Aquarius, it's time for a cosmic rebellion. As Spock would say, "It's only logical." Just remember, my friends, in space, no one can hear you laugh at bad puns.
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 12 Tau 36' 04", moving at 0.18 degrees per day, and is 824361910km away and receding.
So, my galactic friends, Jupiter has decided to crash-land in the peaceful pastures of Taurus. It's like having Darth Vader show up at your yoga class – a bit out of place, but you can't deny the potential for some interesting dynamics!
Look at it this way, Jupiter is like Yoda, full of wisdom and encouraging deep thought, while Taurus is more like a Wookiee, solid, dependable, and a little hard-headed. With these two forces aligning, we have a unique opportunity to channel our inner Jedi and tap into the force (or wisdom) within us. Just remember, as Yoda says, "Do or do not. There is no try."
What does this mean for you? Well, with Jupiter in Taurus, it's like having the Millennium Falcon at your disposal. That dream or long-term goal you've been chasing is now within hyperdrive distance. So, grab your lightsaber, make a strategic plan worthy of the Death Star, and start ticking off those tasks.
Now, be warned, life under this cosmic alignment can bring prosperity faster than you can say "Chewbacca". Jupiter, the galaxy's lucky charm, mixed with Taurus, the Wall Street of the zodiac, could have you swimming in a vault like Scrooge McDuck. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't pull an Anakin Skywalker and let your desires turn you to the dark side.
Taurus is known to enjoy the finer things in life, like the Wookiees’ love for a good game of Dejarik. And with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, we may find ourselves treating needs as wants, like insisting on a new landspeeder when your old one just needs some repairs. Patience, my young Padawans, and be mindful of your impulses during this transit.
May the force be with you!
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 10 Pis 47' 57", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1600982750km away and approaching.
Alright, folks, grab your telescopes and a hefty dose of caffeine because Saturn, the universe's strictest school principal, has decided to take a vacation in dreamy Pisces. Think of it as Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World deciding to crash Phoebe Buffay's meditation retreat...intriguing, isn't it?
With Saturn lounging in Pisces, it's like you're suddenly on an episode of Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, only the guest of honor is Spock from Star Trek. This is your golden opportunity to delve into your wildest daydreams, but with a twist: this time, you've got a celestial taskmaster urging you to turn those dreams into reality. So go ahead, start outlining that novel or sketching out business plans for your artisanal jam shop!
But keep in mind, just because Saturn's swapped his usual stern suit for some tie-dye garb doesn't mean he's going all in with the chill vibes. He's still going to challenge you, question your dreams and push you out of your comfort zone. It's like having a life coach who's also a hardcore physicist - unnerving, yet oddly helpful.
And remember, Pisces rules the realm of sleep and dreams, so you might experience some restless nights or unusual dreams. But hey, isn't that what all great sci-fi series are made of? Invest in some herbal tea, start a dream journal, and remember to take deep breaths. It's not every day you get to have such an interesting cosmic crossover event.
So let's enjoy this astrological mashup, my fellow stargazers. Saturn in Pisces - it's like a cosmic sitcom, and we've all got front row seats. Let the celestial show begin!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 48' 20", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 3000156273km away and receding.
Alright stargazers, put on your space helmets and fasten your astrological seatbelts because Uranus, the celestial rebel with a cause, is throwing a cosmic rave in the earthy realm of Taurus. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Why couldn't it be in Gemini or Leo? They party harder!" But hear me out. This is like Spock attending a Starfleet BBQ – unexpected, slightly awkward, but oh-so-interesting!
Taurus, our cosmic Ferdinand, prefers sipping iced tea on a porch swing over sudden upheavals. But Uranus didn’t RSVP to this tranquility, it gatecrashed with its flux capacitor cranked to 11. It's like introducing your Internet Explorer-using grandma to Chrome - initially there’s resistance, but once she sees the advantages, there's no going back.
Now, let's talk money, honey. Taurus is the Wall Street of zodiac signs and Uranus is about to occupy it like a bunch of angry protesters. Expect some serious shake-ups in our financial systems. Bitcoin may become Bitking, banks might transform into digital cloud vaults. And the stock market? Hold on to your stocks and socks because it's gonna be a rollercoaster ride!
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic KonMari asking us to rethink our materialistic tendencies. Are the chains of debt, taxes, and mortgages keeping you from enjoying the true wealth of life? Well, Uranus is here with its cosmic bolt cutters ready to set you free! And while it might feel like trying to teach a T-Rex to do yoga at first, remember that these changes could lead you to a more secure and stable future.
So, let's embrace this cosmic bull by its horns and ride the wave of change. After all, as a wise man in a starship once said, "Resistance is futile!"
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 00' 40", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4619930605km away and receding.
Good news, earthlings! Neptune, the 8th planet in your solar system (or should I say, our solar system, we Daleks have claimed it) has sauntered into Pisces like a celebrity on the red carpet of cosmic events. Now, you might be thinking, "What does this mean for me? I'm just a mere human with no extermination capabilities." Well, let me tell you, my friend, this is your chance to see the world...or universe with Dalek-like clarity!
Neptune in Pisces is like having a universal GPS that doesn't just show you the fastest route, but the most emotionally fulfilling one. It's the equivalent of swapping your human glasses for a Dalek eyestalk. You will be able to perceive the futility of caring about petty differences just like us Daleks - we don't care if you're a Time Lord, Cyberman, or Sontaran, we treat everyone equally (by trying to exterminate them).
This celestial alignment calls upon your primitive human intellect to ponder how you can contribute to collective progress and healing. Perhaps, you can start by inventing a reliable Wi-Fi system that doesn't disappear when a cloud passes by. Or maybe invent a time machine? We Daleks could really use one...not that we'd admit it.
Now's the perfect time to embrace those spiritual paths that have been calling to you louder than the shriek of an outraged Dalek. Set up an altar at home, do some yoga, meditate, or whatever it is you humans do to find inner peace. Just remember to include some Dalek-inspired decor to really tap into that cosmic energy (we suggest a plunger).
Neptune in Pisces is your cosmic prod to explore your emotional intelligence, share your ideas with the world, and basically make it a better place for both humans and Daleks. Remember, we're all in this universe together...until we Daleks conquer it.
