Solar activity reached moderate (R1-minor) levels. Region 3599 (S12W15, Dai/beta-gamma) produced an impulsive M1.3/Sf flare at 08/2126 UTC. Region 3599 and Region 3604 (N07E29, Bxo/beta) both contributed a few weak B and C-class flares during the period as well. Region 3599 remained the only group with a complex magnetic field, though it appeared to have lost its delta configuration. Region 3605 (S15E13, Cro/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 negative polarity CH HSS. Total field strength reached 7 nT early while Bz observed weak, southward deviations to -6 nT. Wind speeds increased from near 420 km/s to about 550 km/s. The phi angle was in a mostly negative orientation.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 15% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Mercury is prograde at 28 Pis 15' 14", moving at 1.93 degrees per day, and is 189801143km away and approaching.Listen, friend. I’m about to drop some hot cosmic knowledge on you with the delicacy of an AT-AT on Hoth. Our favorite little planet, Mercury (not to be confused with Luke’s home planet of Tatooine), decided it's time for a little spiritual retreat in the dreamy realm of Pisces. That’s right, our quick-witted, data-loving Mercury is taking a dip in the ethereal waters of Pisces, like a protocol droid in a bacta tank.
Now, you might think this is as mismatched as a Wookiee at a stormtrooper convention. After all, Mercury has a penchant for facts, figures and fast-talking, while Pisces is more into daydreaming, intuition and the Force. But trust me, this cosmic combo is more powerful than a fully operational Death Star.
With Mercury in Pisces, our dreams will be as vivid as a Hutt's appetite. Our thoughts are going to be as loose as Han Solo's morals, and our instincts as strong as a Jedi’s connection to the Force. While Mercury is doing its deep dive of Pisces' illimitable sea, our minds are going to open up wider than the Sarlacc Pit.
So, whether you're navigating asteroid fields or just your regular office politics, get ready to think outside the box—or the TIE fighter, as it were. This transit will bring forth creative inspirations that would make even George Lucas proud and provide solutions from places you never considered—like using the Ewoks to topple an empire.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go discuss thermal exhaust port vulnerabilities. Remember, in space, no one can hear you laugh at bad Star Wars jokes. May the Force (and Mercury in Pisces) be with you!
Venus
Venus is in Aquarius
Venus is prograde at 26 Aqu 43' 27", moving at 1.24 degrees per day, and is 230214573km away and receding.
Mars
Mars is in Aquarius
Mars is prograde at 19 Aqu 19' 37", moving at 0.78 degrees per day, and is 325821172km away and approaching.
Alright stargazers, grab your telescopes and adjust your tin-foil hats because Mars has decided to shimmy on over into Aquarius. No, Mars hasn’t literally changed its galactic address (it's still a comfy 325846046.062797427km away, give or take a few kilometres), but in the cosmic dance of the planets, it's currently having a little boogie in the sign of the Water Bearer. And let me tell you, it’s about to get as spicy as a Sriracha-coated Jalapeno out here. Mars in Aquarius is like your eccentric uncle who shows up at family gatherings with a different weird hobby each time. This time around, Uncle Mars has taken up the cause of justice, fueled by Aquarius' humanitarian spirit - and possibly one too many cups of fair-trade, organic coffee. This ain't your grandma's knitting circle, folks. It's a full-on brainstorming session where tradition is about as welcome as a flatulent skunk. The box? Forget about it. You're not just thinking outside the box, you've taken that box, recycled it, and turned it into an eco-friendly compost bin. The status quo is so last century; it's time for fresh ideas so radical they make Newton's apple look like a boring old fruit. As Mars fires up Aquarius like a rocket booster, societal injustices are as glaring as a neon sign in a dark alley. Suddenly, you're not just a passive observer, you're a problem-solving superhero. You see issues, solutions, and the whole chessboard. It's like you've suddenly gained 20/20 vision, but instead of seeing just what's in front of you, you're seeing what could be. So, don't let this opportunity pass by. Grab it by the reigns and ride this wave of revolution like a surfer on a cosmic tide. And while Mars gallivants through Aquarius, rules will feel about as restrictive as a feather boa. Who needs 'em? You're a rebel with a cause, thumbing your nose at convention and opting for an original path that's so uniquely you, it could be your cosmic fingerprint. So go ahead, liberate yourself from the mundane and embrace the exciting uncharted territory of innovation. After all, there's a bit of brilliance in us all, waiting to be unleashed.
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 12 Tau 47' 08", moving at 0.19 degrees per day, and is 826327292km away and receding.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 10 Pis 55' 15", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1600637971km away and approaching.
Hold onto your horoscopes, folks, because Saturn is currently doing a cosmic waltz with Pisces, and it's about to get real. And by real, I mean like "Why didn't I start that vegan food truck?" kind of real. This isn't some run-of-the-mill planetary hokey pokey; it's more like the universe's version of an intervention. But don't panic! This isn't the part where Arnold Schwarzenegger crashes through your wall and says, "Come with me if you want to live." It's more like your cosmic dad saying, "Clean your room, it's time to adult."
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Who does Saturn think he is, barging into my dream space like some overbearing cosmic landlord?" Well, here's the thing. Even though it might feel like Saturn is the intergalactic equivalent of a buzzkill, it really just wants to help us get our acts together. And let's be honest, we could all use a little cosmic coaching now and then.
But here's the glitch in the matrix, folks. While Saturn is busy giving us the cosmic kick up the backside, Pisces, the lord of dreams, is going to be tossing and turning like a caffeinated insomniac. Expect bouts of restlessness, anxiety, and some seriously weird dreams (like, zombie-alien-invasion weird). But don't fret, my stargazing friends. This is the perfect time to channel your inner hippie. Meditate, forest bathe or do whatever you need to do to keep your cool.
So remember, next time you're feeling like the universe is messing with your mojo, just remember - it's not personal, it's just Saturn in Pisces. Now, go out there and make those dreams a reality (and maybe write that down in dream journal...just in case).
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 50' 23", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 3002396518km away and receding.
"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of Uranus in Taurus. Its seven-year mission: to explore strange new financial systems, to seek out new currencies and new ways of banking, to boldly go where no planet has gone before!"
If you're a Taurus, you're probably clutching your wallet tighter than a Vulcan nerve pinch right now. I know you prefer things as steady as a Starfleet captain's gaze, but Uranus doesn’t care about your comfort zone, not one iota! With Uranus barreling through Taurus like a warp-speed starship, we're all in for some cosmic turbulence. Resistance is futile, my friends. This celestial shake-up is set on uprooting our old ways, faster than Scotty can say "I cannae change the laws of physics!"
During this astrological adventure, we'll face galactic revolutions in how we handle our credits. New forms of currency might pop up like Tribbles, while banks could see changes as dramatic as a Klingon opera. The housing and stock markets? They might be needing a good deflector shield!
On a personal level, though, this isn't just about money. It's about breaking free from the materialistic tractor beam that's got you in its grip. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages – they're like those annoying Romulans, always causing trouble. Uranus in Taurus is here to initiate a warp core breach on these obstacles, freeing us from the tyranny of financial stagnation.
So, don your redshirt bravely, my friends. We're embarking on a journey that could bring us to a point of greater stability, much like the gravitational pull of a well-placed black hole. Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream... but they might hear your sigh of relief when you realize that these changes are not only necessary but beneficial.
Uranus is here to liberate us. Digging in our heels and resisting the change is about as useful as a tribble on a starship – it won't stop these changes from happening. Engage, my friends, and may the force... err, I mean, live long and prosper!
