Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3615 (S13W55, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) was responsible for two M1.1 flares and numerous C-class flares. This AR continued to be the largest, most complex region on the visible disk. Region 3617 (S14W18, Hsx/alpha) exhibited signs of decay, and Region 3623 (S19W55, L=223) decayed to plage. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in 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 waning influence of a CME that left the Sun on 23 Mar. Total field was between 4-5 nT, and the Bz component was mostly northward. Solar wind speeds averaged 500 km/s. Phi was predominantly positive .
There is a 15% 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 waning moon is currently in Scorpio, at 10 degrees, 44' 12", at a velocity of 12.17 degrees per day.
The Waning Gibbous moon is currently 17.5 days old. It is 397227.47 km from the centre of the Earth.

Alright, star gazers, buckle up. Our good pal, Mercury, is hanging out in Aries, and let me tell you, it's like a hyperactive rabbit on an espresso bender. It's 121534361.203805760km away, which, for those of you who aren't astro-nerds like yours truly, is super far, but not as far as the line at Starbucks. And guess what? It's in prograde, which basically means it's moving forward, not doing the hokey pokey moonwalk like when it's in retrograde.
Now, Mercury in Aries is like the universe's way of giving us an express pass to Decisionville. Aries is the astrological representation of a toddler who’s just learned the word "mine!" and refuses to take nap time. So prepare for some restless brain waves and an impatience level that would make a microwave seem like a crockpot.
But there's good news! This whole celestial shindig is also about opening up communication lines. It's like the universe is giving you a cosmic megaphone and saying, "Go on, speak your truth, buddy!". Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't go around blasting your thoughts like an untamed fire hose. Keep sensitivity, compromise, and cooperation in mind. Or else, you might end up like that infamous guy at Thanksgiving dinner, who can’t stop talking about conspiracy theories while everyone else is trying to enjoy their turkey.
But here's the best part: Mercury in Aries can also be a hotbed for innovative thinking. It's like having a tiny Elon Musk in your head shooting off rockets of brilliance. But beware, ideas during this time are like shooting stars. They're beautiful, bright, and gone in a flash. So catch them while you can, write them down, or hey, maybe even build that rocket!
So get ready for a wild ride and remember: just because Mercury is acting like a caffeinated hare, doesn't mean you have to. Keep calm, stay focused, and let the cosmic currents guide you. Peace out!

Get ready fellow stargazers! Jupiter, our favorite cosmic Santa Claus has parked his sleigh in the stable of Taurus, the zodiac’s most stubborn bull. Now, you might be wondering what does this mean? Hold on to your telescopes, because things are about to get 'bullishly' interesting!
Imagine Jupiter as that nerdy science teacher who always encouraged you to "think deeper," and Taurus as that laid-back couch potato who never seems to lose his cool. When these two cosmic buddies come together, it's like finding out that your favorite sci-fi show is based on real science. Suddenly, the universe seems a little less daunting. It's a 'eureka!' moment that reminds us that the answers we seek are not on some distant star, but within us, probably sipping a cosmic latte and waiting to be discovered.
Now let's talk about dreams and goals. We all have them, right? Well, Jupiter in Taurus is like that motivational speaker screaming “You can do it!” This is your chance to grab those dreams by the horns, literally! With Jupiter's love for growth and Taurus’ rock-solid patience, it's like having your own cosmic cheerleading squad encouraging you to keep going. Be ready to tick off those to-do lists with a newfound zest.
Oh, and did I mention prosperity? Jupiter is the cosmic jackpot, and Taurus is the Wall Street of the zodiac world. When these two come together, you can expect some serious 'cha-ching!' moments. So, dust off those old financial plans and start looking for growth opportunities. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don’t let Taurus' love for indulgence turn your needs into wants. Keep those impulses in check!
To wrap it up, Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic mash-up of wisdom, prosperity, and self-discovery. So, buckle up, because we're in for an exciting celestial ride. As the great Albert Einstein once said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning." So keep exploring, fellow stargazers, the cosmos is waiting!
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces

Dear space enthusiasts, brace yourselves! Saturn - our celestial taskmaster, has slipped into the dreamy realm of Pisces. Yes, you heard it right! It's like your strict math teacher decided to crash your dramatic arts class - and oh boy, it's about to get interesting!
Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, isn't Pisces all about daydreaming and living in a world of imagination?" Well, yes, but just like that time when you tried to put Mentos into a Coca-Cola bottle, unexpected combinations can lead to explosive results. Or in this case, a beautiful synergy that will help us turn those dreams into reality. So, dust-off that idea about starting a llama farm or writing a Broadway musical about quantum physics. Our ringed-planet friend is here to give us a cosmic kick in the pants to get started!
But hold your space horses! This astral alignment isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. With Saturn in Pisces, your dreams are going to be under scrutiny. Imagine Saturn as a celestial Gordon Ramsay, only instead of yelling about undercooked scallops, he's pointing out the flaws in your carefully crafted aspirations. Don't let this discourage you – after all, constructive criticism helps us grow.
Oh, and remember Pisces’ association with sleep? Well, don't be surprised if you find yourself counting more sheep than usual. You may toss and turn, pondering over existential questions like "Why are we here?" or "Why does pizza taste so good?" during the witching hours. To combat this, I recommend trying some intergalactic meditation. Imagine yourself floating in the vast expanse of space, breathing in stardust, and exhaling cosmic energy. Sounds cool, right?
So, in summary, prepare for a star-studded journey of self-discovery, dream-chasing, and possibly some late-night insomnia. But remember, every celestial event is just a part of this grand cosmic dance. So, throw on your dancing shoes, crank up the space-jams, and let's boogie with the universe!
