Solar activity reached moderate levels due to M-class activity from Region 3615 (S13W27, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta). The largest flare was an M4.4/Sb (R1-Minor) at 25/0644 UTC. Associated with the flare was a 310 sfu 10cm radio burst. Region 3615 continued its growth phase over the period with an estimate of 1120 millionths of area. Region 3619 (N19E04, Cso/beta) showed slight growth. The rest of the spot groups were either stable or in slight decay.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
Solar wind parameters reflected the influence of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that left the Sun on 23 Mar. Elevated solar wind speeds around 750-890 km/s were observed before slowly decreasing to around 700 km/s by the end of the period. Total field strength slowly decreased from highs near 25-26 nT to end of period values around 5 nT. The Bz component was mostly north but briefly deflected southward to -11 nT near 26/0900 UTC. Phi rotated between sectors throughout the period.
There is a 30% chance of solar activity, with a 30% chance of a minor event, a 20% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.

Now, hold on to your space helmets, folks, 'cause we're about to take a cosmic joyride! Good ol’ Saturn, that taskmaster of the cosmos has decided to go skinny dipping in the Piscean pool. That's right, 1.589 billion kilometers away, Saturn is doing some deep sea diving in the fishy waters of Pisces. And no, he didn't forget his floaties.
Saturn in Pisces is like having your stern, no-nonsense dad crash your psychedelic dream party. It's a bit like, "Dad, you're totally harshing my mellow." But trust me, it’s not all bad news. When Saturn - the Lord of Time and Discipline - crashes the Pisces party, it's less about ruining the fun and more about helping you make those daydreams a reality.
Thinking of penning the next great sci-fi novel? Or maybe opening up your own organic vegan gluten-free zero-waste coffee shop? Well, this is the time to grab those dreams by the tail fins and start turning them into reality. You see, Saturn's got a knack for organization. He’s like the Marie Kondo of the cosmos, helping us declutter our dream space and focus on what truly sparks joy.
But be warned, Saturn in Pisces isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. You’ll find yourself questioned about your dreams, and you might get a little defensive. I mean, who wouldn’t? But remember, this planetary father figure isn’t here to dampen your spirits. He’s here to help clean up the room so you can see the stars more clearly. So, put down that “Keep Out” sign and let him in. His advice might just be the interstellar insight you need.
With Saturn doing the backstroke in the Pisces pool, we might feel a bit restless or have some trouble sleeping. But hey, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature! This is a prime time to cultivate your inner Zen. Meditate, take a moonlit walk, do some deep-breathing exercises, or simply take a nap (but keep a dream journal handy!). And remember, sometimes the best way to reach for the stars is by getting a good night's sleep.
So, buckle up and embrace the cosmic coaching of Saturn
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 20 Tau 31' 09", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 3036778035km away and receding.
Oh, the cosmic drama! Uranus, the celestial rebel with a cause, has settled into Taurus, the zodiac sign that just wants to Netflix and chill. It's akin to inviting Sheldon Cooper to a meditation retreat. Chaos is likely to ensue, but you know what they say, "Change is the only constant in this universe". So brace yourselves!
Firstly, let's take a moment to appreciate the sheer distance involved here. Uranus is a staggering 3036723303.334883690km away, spinning in a prograde motion (that's fancy space talk for "counter-clockwise"). It's like your eccentric, far-removed cousin visiting from abroad and turning your world upside down.
Now, Uranus entering Taurus is a big deal because Taurus loves its comfort zone more than a cat loves a warm spot in the sun. But Uranus? Well, it's the cosmic equivalent of a double shot of espresso, served with a side of revolution. So, buckle up, Taureans and non-Taureans alike, we're in for a bumpy yet exciting ride!
Being money moguls of the zodiac, Taureans are about to witness a financial revolution. Think cryptocurrency, dramatic changes in banks, or a sudden urge to invest in interstellar real estate (Mars condos, anyone?). The financial world is about to be shaken like a snow globe in the hands of an excited toddler. You might even see Scrooge McDuck considering Bitcoin.
On a personal level, Uranus is showing up at our doorstep, holding a sign that says, "Let's rethink money." Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages hold us captive more than a Trekkie at a Star Trek convention. It's time to break free from these shackles and redefine our relationship with money, material possessions, and yes, even that collection of vintage comic books.
Resistance is futile, my dear earthlings. Uranus' lease on Taurus' space isn't expiring anytime soon. So, let's embrace this period of change. Just remember, the changes we make now could stabilize our future faster than you can say "quantum physics". And they're bound to stick around longer than your New Year's resolutions. So, let's boldly go where no man has gone
