Solar activity was at low levels. Multiple long-duration C-class eruptions were associated with activity from Region 3599 (S13, L=067), as it rotated beyond the W limb. The largest event was a C6.0 flare at 15/0610 UTC. Associated with the flare activity were multiple CME signatures in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery, though none are expected to be Earth-directed. All regions were stable and quiet.
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 conditions were weakly enhanced due to positive polarity CH HSS influences. Solar wind speeds ranged 375-450 km/s, total field strength decreased from 7 nT to 4 nT, and Bz varied +/-5 nT. The phi angle was positive.
There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
The waxing moon is currently in Gemini, at 15 degrees, 11' 11", at a velocity of 13.22 degrees per day.

Alright, my celestial chums. Picture this: Mercury, the fleet-footed messenger of the gods, has slipped into the fiery sneakers of Aries. And let me tell you, it's not just for some interstellar fashion statement. No, no, this is pure, unadulterated, cerebral dynamism!
Now, we all know Aries as the impatient one, right? The "I-need-it-yesterday" kind of chap. So, when Mercury parks its cosmic caboose in Aries, expect your mental gears to be on overdrive. It's like having a dozen cups of coffee and running a marathon – in your brain! You won't want to hit the repeat button on your thoughts or dwell on things. Nope! You'll be raring to leap onto the next intellectual lily pad.
And communication, my friends, will be as easy as falling off a log. Mercury in Aries is like having your own personal public speaking coach. It gives you the rocket fuel to shoot straight from the hip, say what you mean, and mean what you say. Just remember, with great power comes great... possibility for foot in mouth disease. So, while you're out there fearlessly voicing your opinions, remember to put on your diplomatic pants when sensitivity and tact are called for.
Your thoughts, dear stargazers, are going to kick-start faster than an alien spaceship. Mercury plus Aries equals light bulb moments aplenty! It's as if someone has flicked a switch and suddenly, solutions to old problems spring into your mind like popcorn. But here's the kicker: grab them quick, these Aries-inspired brainwaves have the lifespan of a mayfly. Blink and they're gone.
So, buckle up, astro-aficionados! This is your cosmic cue to embrace the rush, take the leap, and boldly go where your mind hasn't dared to dart before. Mercury in Aries? It's not just a transit, it's an adventure!

Hey there cosmic adventurers, grab your lab coats and tie-dye shirts because we're taking an astral journey 839,439,645.642393947km away. That's right, Jupiter, our jovial giant neighbor, has decided to park its cosmic caboose in Taurus. Now, you might be thinking, "My horoscope is being influenced by something prograding millions of kilometers away?" To which I say, "Absolutely! Isn't space-time continuum a hoot?"
Jupiter, the galaxy's favorite philosopher king, and Taurus, our stubborn but oh-so-lovable bull, are throwing a little shindig. And guess what? You're invited. This party isn't about boogying down, though. It's more like a zen meditation retreat where the answers we seek aren't in some dusty old book, but inside us. Who knew, right? All you have to do is silence the smartphones, turn off the Netflix, and listen to that inner voice. It's been waiting to chat.
While Jupiter is busy expanding our minds, Taurus is rolling up its sleeves and getting things done. This is the time to take those grand dreams of yours and turn them into a reality. We're talking practical to-do lists, long-term goals, and patient progress. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, but I bet they made sure to lay a brick every day.
But wait, there's more. Jupiter, our lucky star, and Taurus, the zodiac's personal finance manager, are teaming up to bring prosperity your way. Sounds great, right? Just remember: with great power comes great responsibility. Taurus may love the finer things in life, but when Jupiter stops by, it's easy to mistake wants for needs. Just because you CAN buy that life-size replica of the Starship Enterprise, doesn't mean you SHOULD.
So buckle up, star gazers! Jupiter's tour in Taurus is a journey of self-discovery, practical progress, and financial wisdom. Just remember to keep your impulses in check, or you might end up with a spaceship in your backyard and a very confused mailman.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 11 Pis 45' 55", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1597168468km away and approaching.
Alright folks, put on your space helmets and hang onto your crystals because Saturn is currently having a pool party in Pisces. That's about 1597190177.312120914km away from us, but hey, who's counting? (Hint: it's me.) And guess what? Saturn is currently prograde, which means it's moving forward, much like how we should be progressing with our life goals (Hint: not like my dating life).
So, what does Saturn twirling around in the fishy, dreamy constellation of Pisces mean for us earthlings? Well, imagine if Yoda and Bob Ross had a cosmic baby: that's Saturn in Pisces for you. It's the perfect union of discipline and imagination. It's the ideal time to take those wild dreams of yours, like writing a sci-fi novel or opening up your own vegan café, and making them a reality. Saturn, being the cosmic taskmaster, will give you the structure you need to achieve these dreams, while Pisces will encourage you to dream bigger, to go where no man (or woman) has gone before!
However, this doesn't mean it's all rainbows and unicorns. Saturn in Pisces can be as challenging as trying to solve quantum physics equations after three shots of espresso (oh, just me again?). Saturn might question your dreams and ambitions, like a stern father asking his daughter why she wants to major in interpretive dance. But remember, tough love often leads to growth. So, let Saturn play the cosmic Marie Kondo, tidying up your mental clutter and sparking joy in your life goals.
Speaking of sleep, Pisces governs dreams and sleep, so you might experience some "Inception" level dreams or insomnia. To counteract this, try some tried-and-true hippie remedies: meditate, take a leisurely stroll through a forest, do some deep breathing exercises, and for the love of Carl Sagan, get enough sleep! Maybe even go to bed early (I know, crazy right?) to give your mind time to wind down. And remember, keep that dream journal handy because your subconscious will be working overtime, and you don't want to miss out on any profound cosmic insights.
So, buckle up, star voyagers, because Saturn in Pisces is a cosmic journey like

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.
