There are currently 6 planets in retrograde:

Planetary Retrograde Extravaganza!

Hey there, stargazers! It appears we've stumbled into a cosmic traffic jam. With everyone's favorite speed demon, Mercury, doing the moonwalk in Virgo, and Jupiter, lord of expansion, getting comfy in Taurus, it's like the universe is on one big cosmic coffee break.

Now, don't panic if your emails start acting like they've been abducted by aliens. That's just Mercury in Virgo having a laugh at our expense. Try to see the humor in it. Maybe it's the universe's way of telling us to slow down and smell the cosmic roses. #MercuryRetrogradeShenanigans

Meanwhile, Venus is strutting her stuff in Leo, bringing all the drama queens out to play. If you find yourself suddenly attracted to neon leggings and disco balls, blame it on Venus. She's got us all under her glittery spell. #VenusInLeoVibes

Mars in Libra is probably the reason why you've been feeling like arguing about everything from quantum physics to which Star Trek series is the best. (It's Voyager, by the way. Don't @ me.) Just remember to use your words, not your phasers. #MarsInLibraLogic

Next up, Saturn in Pisces is giving us all a crash course in 'Emotions 101'. If you've been crying at the drop of a hat or laughing hysterically at dad jokes, that's Saturn doing its thing. Just ride the wave, folks. And maybe stock up on tissues. #SaturnInPiscesSensitivity

Uranus in Taurus might be causing some slight discomfort. Like, why is everything suddenly so...boring? Well, that's Uranus, trying to shake things up. So go ahead, rearrange your furniture or dye your hair green. Anything to get the cosmic juices flowing. #UranusInTaurusTurmoil

Neptune in Pisces is turning us all into dreamers. If you've been having weird dreams about being a Jedi or discovering a new species of alien, that's Neptune whispering in your ear. Keep a dream journal. Who knows, you might come up with the next big sci

The moon is currently in Leo, at 06 degrees, 38' 58", at a velocity of 11.88 degrees per day.

The Waning Crescent moon is currently 26.1 days old. It is 404116.08 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 1:40:05, 15 Sep 2023. The next full moon is at 9:58:21, 29 Sep 2023.

Solar wind parameters were near background levels. Total magnetic field strength was between 4-7 nT and no significant periods of southward Bz were observed. Solar wind speeds were mostly between ~300-360 km/s. Phi angle was predominantly oriented in the negative sector.

There is a 25% 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.
