Solar activity returned to low levels. Region 3599 (S12W61, Dki/beta-gamma-delta) produced all of the appreciable flare activity during the period. This region continued to evolve as it neared the west limb, gaining additional intermediate spots while maintaining its delta configuration. New Regions 3606 (N08E33, Cri/beta) and 3607 (S18E51, Dao/beta) were numbered this period. The remaining three active regions continued to decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
Solar wind parameters reflected diminishing influence from a negative polarity CH HSS. Total magnetic field strength was at or below 6 nT while Bz turned predominantly north with a brief period of southward incursions to -5 nT. Solar wind speeds varied between a low of 350 km/s to a high near 450 km/s. Phi angle was in a mostly positive orientation through the period.
There is a 10% 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.

Alright stargazers, grab your telescopes and buckle up, because boy, do we have a celestial event for you! Mercury, that tiny planet with big personality, has decided to throw a party in Aries. Yes, you heard it right! And no, Mercury isn't 178877586.458025455km away from your problems. It's right here, ready to push us into action and possibly a few awkward conversations.
Now, we all know Aries -- the zodiac's version of that friend who shows up uninvited but somehow ends up being the life of the party. With Mercury in Aries, our minds are turning into the astrological equivalent of a Ferrari on a caffeine high. We're talking restless, impatient, and wanting to charge ahead like there's a cosmic clearance sale at the end of the galaxy.
Anyone looking for some liquid courage to express their feelings? Well, Mercury in Aries is delivering it by the cosmic keg. It's the perfect opportunity to say exactly what's on your mind. But remember, while honesty is admired, diplomacy is appreciated. You don't want to go around smashing egos like they're pinatas.
Mercury and Aries together are like a dynamic duo of innovation and courage. It's like having Einstein and Indiana Jones in your mental command center. You'll be flashing insights faster than a supernova, solving problems that previously seemed as complex as quantum physics. Don't overthink it, trust your gut. Your first thoughts are likely your best ones during this transit. But remember, this Aries influence is as fleeting as a shooting star, so catch that inspiration before it vanishes into the cosmic abyss.
So, there you have it, folks. Mercury in Aries is upon us. Hold onto your horoscopes, it's going to be a wild ride!
Venus
Venus is in Pisces
Venus is prograde at 01 Pis 40' 33", moving at 1.24 degrees per day, and is 232628565km away and receding.
Hey there, stargazers! Get your romance novels and melodramatic movies ready because Venus just checked into Pisces, and she's brought a suitcase full of dreamy love vibes. We're talking heart-shaped clouds, unicorns dancing on rainbows, and enough cosmic enchantment to make even the most cynical among us believe in fairy tales. Yes, folks, it's that time of the year when we all become hopeless romantics, hopelessly in love with... well, love.
But wait! Before you start composing sonnets or posting those overly sentimental Facebook statuses (you know who you are), let me give you a nerd alert. Venus in Pisces tends to make us see the world through rose-colored glasses, or in this case, telescope lenses smeared with stardust. It can fog up our judgment faster than a steamy hot shower on a cold day. So, unless you've thoroughly vetted your love interest for any signs of being an intergalactic villain, hold off on the major commitments. You don't want to discover you've fallen for an illusion after you've already changed your relationship status, right?
On the flip side, if you've been nitpicking your partner's flaws like an overzealous grammar nazi, this cosmic event may help you appreciate their quirks instead. The combination of Venus's enchanting vibes and Pisces's compassionate spirit can turn annoyances into endearments. Like how they snore in a rhythm that sounds suspiciously like your favorite song, or how they always manage to leave one sock behind in the laundry – adorable, right? Letting go of control might just allow you to experience love in its raw, unedited, and purest form.
Venus in Pisces also has some financial advice for us. It's time to tap into that creative, imaginative side of yours and consider how you might turn it into a cash cow. But remember, this transit is less about 'show me the money' and more about 'show me the love'. So, consider doing something charitable with your gifts, like donating your world-famous hand-knit scarves to those in need or teaching free coding classes online. After all, nothing screams 'I love you, universe' louder than giving back.
So buckle up, space cadets! It's going to be a fascinating journey
Mars
Mars is in Aquarius
Mars is prograde at 22 Aqu 26' 05", moving at 0.78 degrees per day, and is 323508336km away and approaching.
Attention, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! Our galactic neighbor, Mars, has decided to crash Aquarius' pad for a while. Now, you might be wondering, "What's the interstellar significance of this?" Well, buckle up your asteroid belts, because we're in for a wild ride.
Mars, the celestial equivalent of a caffeine-fueled superhero, is currently shacking up with Aquarius, the zodiac's resident mad scientist. Imagine if Batman decided to crash at Tesla's lab for a sleepover - you get the gist.
With Mars in Aquarius, it's time to whip out those lightsabers of intellect, my friends. This isn't just about thinking outside the box - it's about kicking that box into a black hole and inventing an entirely new geometric shape. A dodecahedron, perhaps? Or maybe a tesseract if we're feeling extra dimensional.
As Aquarius hosts this Martian soiree, societal injustices become as glaring as a supernova in our face. Aquarius, the zodiac's own version of a cosmic social worker, finds its humanitarian instincts supercharged by Mars' warrior spirit. Imagine the possibilities when an activist gets a power up from a Red Planet. It's a cosmic call to arms, folks!
While Mars is busy doing the interstellar cha-cha with Aquarius, traditional rules might feel as outdated as a dial-up modem. Who needs tradition when you've got Mars in Aquarius, the cosmic equivalent of a punk rock band with a PhD in quantum physics? It's high time we embraced our inner rebels, chucked convention into a wormhole, and charted our own course through the cosmos.
So, space cadets, while Mars is moonwalking through Aquarius, let's make like a UFO and break free from the norm. Remember, in the cosmic dance of the universe, it's not just about stepping on the right star - it's about creating your own constellation.
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 13 Tau 32' 18", moving at 0.19 degrees per day, and is 833986473km away and receding.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 11 Pis 24' 17", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1598880146km away and approaching.
Hold on to your space helmets, folks! Saturn's jetted off to Pisces and it's about to get as trippy as a Pink Floyd album cover. That's right, the taskmaster of the cosmos and the dreamy fish are teaming up, and it’s going to be one heck of a cosmic ride. It's like putting Sheldon Cooper in a drum circle - a bit awkward at first, but boy is it going to make some waves.
This cosmic combo is all about turning dreams into reality, so dust off that half-finished novel or that business idea you scribbled on a napkin. This is your chance to get your act together, and I don't mean just alphabetizing your comic book collection. Saturn in Pisces is going to help you chart a course from Neverland to Realityville, so buckle up.
But let's be real, this isn't going to be all unicorn rides and rainbow bridges. Saturn's gonna poke and prod at those dreams of yours like a curious alien with a new specimen. You might feel like slamming the door in its face, but remember - this celestial dad isn't trying to ruin your fun, he's just making sure you've done your homework before the big test.
And with all this cerebral activity going on, you'll probably have more dreams than a sci-fi convention. Try to stay chill - meditate, take a nature walk (just watch out for any unidentified flying objects), and make sure you get some decent shut-eye. If you're feeling adventurous, why not try a little lucid dreaming? Just remember to keep a dream journal handy. Who knows, you might just decode the secrets of the universe while you're snoozing!
So grab your telescope, your dream catcher, and a solid plan - it's time to shoot for the stars. Just remember, in the words of Carl Sagan, "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Saturn in Pisces is here to help you find it.
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 58' 59", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 3011140056km away and receding.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 11' 59", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4621551033km away and receding.
Alright my stargazing nerds, let's talk about Neptune's cosmic shindig in Pisces. Now, it might seem that Neptune is just hanging out in Pisces for the fun of it, but the reality is much deeper, like, Mariana Trench deep. This is like Spock at a Vulcan meditation retreat — serious stuff, folks!
Neptune and Pisces together are like peanut butter and jelly—different, but when combined, they create something out of this world! It’s like the universe's way of giving us a pair of spiritual glasses, which lets us see past the mundane and into the magical. Suddenly, arguing about whether Star Wars is better than Star Trek seems so... trivial (though we all know the answer).
This celestial event is like a cosmic wake-up call asking you, "Hey, what can you bring to the table? Or rather, the galaxy?" We've all got something to offer. Maybe you've got a knack for making people laugh, or perhaps you're the next Einstein. With Neptune in Pisces, it's time to dive into your emotional depths and pull out those unique gifts.
Feel like exploring the spiritual side of things? Go ahead! It's as good a time as any to learn about chakras, astral projection, or even how to talk to plants (they're great listeners). And if you want to build an altar to your favorite sci-fi characters, have at it! Spock approves.
And remember, while Neptune is throwing its Piscean pool party, it's the perfect time to share your spiritual discoveries with others. As the saying goes, sharing is caring, and when it comes to the universe, we're all in this together. So, grab your snorkel and flippers, my friends. It's time to dive into the cosmic waters of Neptune in Pisces.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 01 Aqu 30' 57", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5322517636km away and approaching.
Okay folks, here's the deal. Pluto, our beloved celestial underdog (you know, the one that can’t decide if it wants to be a planet or not), has decided to take a little cosmic vacation in the sign of Aquarius. Now, don’t start panicking, this isn't like when your in-laws announce they're coming for a ‘short visit’ and you find yourself questioning your life choices. This is a BIG deal, and not just because we're talking about distances that make your daily commute look like a casual stroll to the fridge.
Picture this: you’ve got Pluto, the cosmic equivalent of a reality TV show host, notorious for drama, transformation, and complete overhauls. It's all about getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. Think extreme home makeover but for your soul. Then, you have Aquarius, the Elon Musk of the zodiac signs, always pushing for progress, innovation, and shocks that make your hair stand on end. Literally.
So, what happens when you mix these two together? Well, let's just say that we might as well strap ourselves in for a ride on the Starship Enterprise. We’re talking next-level changes in science, technology, and space travel (beam me up, Scotty!). But, hold onto your crystals, it's not just about gadgets and gizmos. We're also looking at some serious shake-ups in civil rights and humanitarian efforts. Oh, and governments might just learn to play nice for once (fingers crossed).
On a personal level, this cosmic combo is like a friendly planetary nudge (or shove) to shift our focus from "me" to "we." Instead of asking what’s in it for us, we’re encouraged to consider what’s in it for all of us. I mean, who knew Pluto had such hippie vibes?
In conclusion, while Pluto is busy doing the backstroke in Aquarius, it's time for us to embrace change like a long-lost friend and answer the cosmic call. Let's boldly go where no man, woman, or astrologer has gone before. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to tune my telescope. Peace out!

You may feel a need to identify with others, to really understand them, and get closer to them sympathetically. At the same time, you may feel a need to escape from the trials of the world and get into a world of your own. Escaping like this is okay as long as it is done in a positive way, say, through meditation. Escaping by means of alcohol or drugs could be dangerous. Even though you may be tempted, do not give in to a desire to avoid all duty and responsibility today. Do not run away. Face things squarely. Be on guard for trickery.
