Solar activity was low with a marked increase in C-class flare activity. The bulk of the C-flare activity originated from an unnumbered source on the SE limb; the largest of which was a C6.6 flare at 17/0359 UTC. New Region 3614 (N16E70, Hax/alpha) was numbered after rotating onto the NE limb, and the region produced a C3.8 flare at 17/0547 UTC. Regions 3607 (S17W21, Bxo/beta) and 3613 (S22W30, Dai/beta) exhibited growth and Region 3608 (N11W10, Dro/beta) re-emerged with spots. The remaining regions were stable.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.
Solar wind parameters were nominal. Solar wind speeds were between 260-400 km/s. Total magnetic field strength was below 5 nT. Phi angle was oriented in the positive sector.
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.
The waxing moon is currently in Cancer, at 10 degrees, 53' 36", at a velocity of 12.52 degrees per day.

Alright cosmic cadets, get ready to strap in for a mental roller coaster ride as Mercury, the solar system's favorite chatterbox, takes a field trip to Aries town! And we all know Aries doesn't take any prisoners, so keep your helmets on. With Mercury 161250239.891470790km away (yes, I counted), it's not exactly next door, but its influence is going to feel like it's right up in your space grill. And don't worry, Mercury's in prograde so no galactic backpedaling here.
With Mercury in Aries, our minds are going to be as impatient as a teenager with their first car. No more waiting around or replaying last year's disasters in your head, it's time to blast off to the next cosmic challenge. Say goodbye to your comfort zone, because change is the only constant here, my dear Stardusts!
And hey, under this transit, your communication skills will be as sharp as Spock's ears! You'll have the courage to say what you want and how you want it - just remember to temper it with some good old-fashioned Earthling sensitivity. We wouldn't want interstellar wars now, would we?
As Mercury and Aries throw their cosmic party, expect your thoughts to be as innovative as a Trekkie at a tech fair. You might just stumble upon that lightbulb moment that solves a problem you've been wrestling with since Pluto was still a planet (yeah, I'm still bitter about that!). Don't hesitate, grab onto that thought like it's the last slice of alien pizza, because in true Aries fashion, it'll disappear quicker than you can say "beam me up, Scotty!"
So let's buckle up, Star Voyagers! Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream... unless you have Mercury in Aries boosters on your side. Enjoy the ride!

Okay, buckle up, Taurus! You know how you like everything comfy, cozy, and as predictable as a sitcom rerun? Well, guess what? Uranus, the cosmic rebel, has just moved into your neighborhood and he doesn't care about your Homeowner's Association rules. He's got a potent mix of big, sudden changes and he's not afraid to use it. Imagine your favorite grandma's couch tossed out in favor of a neon inflatable one - that's pretty much what we're dealing with here. You may not like it initially, but hey, it's better than sitting on the floor, right?
Uranus is a bit like that oddball uncle who comes around every 84 years, stirring up the family pot. And this time, he's pointing his cosmic finger at your wallet. Our dear planet of chaos is spending a good seven years in your money house, so you might as well start considering cryptocurrency or bartering with alien artifacts. Banks and stock markets? Uranus might just turn them upside down like a kid shaking a snow globe. Brace yourself for an economic roller coaster ride!
But don't panic just yet, Taurus. This isn't about driving you into a financial frenzy. Instead, Uranus wants you to rethink your relationship with material possessions (yes, even that comic book collection). It's about breaking free from the iron grip of debts, mortgages, taxes and those shopping sprees that promise happiness but deliver only credit card bills.
Remember, resistance is futile. Uranus has a knack for liberating us even when we're digging our heels in, screaming "I won't change!" So, take a deep breath, hold onto your space helmet, and prepare to take one giant leap towards a new cosmic reality. Who knows? By the end of this transit, you might find yourself at a much better place – like the captain's chair on the starship Enterprise. Now, wouldn't that be a stellar upgrade?
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 23' 22", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4622099295km away and approaching.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 01 Aqu 37' 23", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5312729094km away and approaching.
Alright folks, grab your telescopes, your favorite Star Trek t-shirt, and perhaps a six-pack of kombucha. The cosmic dance is taking an interesting twist with Pluto doing the two-step with Aquarius. It's like that awkward school disco where the punk rocker pairs up with the chess club captain. Strap in, we're in for a ride.
Let's get one thing straight: when we say Pluto is the king of transformation, we're not talking about a space-age botox. We mean a soul-level, ego-crushing, rise-from-the-ashes kind of transformation. That's right, Pluto is the phoenix of the solar system, constantly burning down the old to make space for the new.
And here comes Aquarius, the mad scientist of the zodiac, all ready to push the envelope and blow things up for the sake of progress. Together, these two are about to cause a cosmic kerfuffle that would make a supernova blush.
So what can we expect? Well, brace yourselves for some groundbreaking changes in science, technology, and space travel. We might finally get those hoverboards Back to the Future promised us. But more importantly, this celestial power couple is going to shake-up civil rights and humanitarianism like never before. Trust me, the Avengers have nothing on these two.
In our personal lives, this cosmic combo is urging us to think outside our own little spaceship. Instead of pondering what's best for us, it's time to consider what's best for all of us. It's a bit like the Borg from Star Trek, but without the creepy cyborg bits. Will you answer the call? Or will you be like a stubborn Tribble, refusing to roll with the changes?
In the end, remember this: We're all stardust, baby. So let's make sure we shine the brightest during this Pluto in Aquarius tango. Live long and prosper!

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.
