Solar activity continued at high levels. Region 3663 (N25W57, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) edged closer to the western limb, making accurate analysis of its magnetic structure difficult. However, based on its recent activity, it would appear the delta configuration still remains. This region produced most of the M-class flares, including an M8.2/Sf at 07/1630 UTC, the largest of the period. Region 3663 also contributed an additional six M-flares, including an M5.1 at 07/0616 UTC.
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.
The solar wind environment reflected the continued influence of a positive polarity CH HSS. Total field strength was steady near 5 nT, the Bz component had no significant southward deflections, Phi was in a positive orientation, and the solar wind speeds averaged between 500-550 km/s.
There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 15% 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 Taurus, at 19 degrees, 49' 26", at a velocity of 14.45 degrees per day.
The New moon is currently 0.1 days old. It is 371612.58 km from the centre of the Earth.
The next new moon is at 12:40:02, 6 Jun, 2024. The next full moon is at 1:10:32, 22 Jun, 2024.

Listen up, star gazers! Mercury, that swift-footed messenger of the gods, is doing its retrograde samba in Aries, the cosmic Rambo. Now, if you're thinking this means your Wi-Fi will start acting like a sulky teenager, or your GPS will guide you to the North Pole instead of Home Depot, take a deep breath. It's not that kind of retrograde. This is more like an intellectual Red Bull, so buckle up!
Aries waits for no one, not even for its morning coffee. So, when Mercury parks its celestial posterior in this sign, we're talking about a mental sprint, not a leisurely stroll through the park. You'll find your brain refusing to linger on last week's crossword puzzle and instead, charging ahead like a caffeinated racehorse. But be warned! This isn't the time for slow-mo replays, folks.
Got something to say? Well, with Mercury in Aries, you'll be serving unfiltered truth tea whether people ordered it or not! This transit is like cosmic courage juice, so expect to blurt out everything, from your love for 80s disco to your not-so-secret opinion about your neighbor's yard gnomes. But beware, my friends - this verbal diarrhea comes with a price. Remember, diplomacy is not an alien concept. Use it when needed!
But hey, it's not all challenging. Mercury in Aries is like a brainstorming session on steroids. You're likely to have more lightbulb moments than Thomas Edison. But here's the catch - these nuggets of wisdom are like shooting stars: Blink and you miss 'em! So grab them before they vanish into the ether of forgotten thoughts.
In a nutshell, Mercury in Aries is like a blend of Sherlock's brain, Speedy Gonzales' speed and a dash of Hulk's tact. Strap in, folks. It's going to be a wild ride!

Okay, folks, strap in and put your space helmets on, because Saturn is hovering in Pisces. It's like the universe's version of a grumpy grandpa visiting a psychedelic fish tank. It's not just about getting starry-eyed over the nebulae though, no, Saturn is doing some cosmic housekeeping at a whopping 1,576,278,394.181507826km away. And yes, you guessed right! The old fella's gone prograde on us. We’re talking full-on forward motion.
Now, when Saturn, our celestial taskmaster, meets Pisces, the dreamy, artsy guru of the zodiac, it's like Spock meeting a Vulcan mind-meld with Picasso. It’s time to take those daydreams of yours, you know the ones where you're writing a bestselling novel or running a successful business, and give them a Vulcan salute.
This cosmic combo is here to ensure that your dreams don't just end up as beautiful supernovae in the cosmos of your mind. They want you to get off your asteroid and make things happen. You might need to draft a business plan, draw up a budget, or beam yourself up to the bank for a loan.
Now, I won’t lie to you, Saturn in Pisces isn't always a leisurely cruise on the USS Enterprise. Saturn might be the unwelcome guest who questions your most cherished dreams, but remember, the Captain doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Instead of putting up shields and firing photon torpedoes, why not let Saturn in and listen to what it has to say? After all, this cosmic old-timer has seen more than a few star systems in its day.
With Saturn in Pisces, you might find yourself feeling like you've been beamed up to the sleepless realms of insomnia. Your usual 8-hour stasis chamber sleep might seem as elusive as a Romulan cloaking device. But fear not, my starfleet! This is the perfect time to cultivate some much-needed inner peace. Meditate, take a stroll through your local holodeck forest, or simply breathe like you’re on a vacation in the oxygen-rich atmosphere of an unexplored M-class planet.
Remember, this cosmic event is all about listening to the wisdom that the universe has to offer. So, put your tr

Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 22 Tau 48' 22", moving at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 3081507585km away and receding.
Neptune

Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is retrograde at 02 Aqu 05' 48", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5193609156km away and approaching.
Picture this: Pluto, the wee 'planet' (we're still salty about that downgrade, aren't we?) with a heart-shaped surface feature, is hanging out in Aquarius, the sign of the water-bearer. Now, before you start picturing Pluto getting a nice splash from Aquarius' jug, remember, Aquarius is an air sign. So, no, Pluto is not getting a much-needed bath.
Pluto, the celestial equivalent of that one intense friend who always insists on deep, existential conversations at 2 AM, is all about transformation. And not just the "Oh, I think I'll cut bangs" kind, but the "I'm going to reevaluate my entire life, quit my job, and move to a Tibetan monastery" kind. Pluto doesn't do things by halves, folks.
Meanwhile, Aquarius is the sign of progress, innovation, and the odd science experiment gone wrong (or right, depending on your perspective). When these two get together, it's like a sci-fi movie plot: expect the unexpected, and then multiply it by ten.
We're talking radical shifts in science, technology, and even space travel. Who knows, maybe teleportation will finally be a thing during this transit? A girl can dream! But it's not just about cool gadgets and warp speed; it's also about humanity. This transit could see us becoming more compassionate, more empathetic, and more inclined to work together for the betterment of all.
On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is the cosmic kick in the pants we need to change how we view ourselves and our place in the world. Instead of being self-focused, it's time to think about what's best for all. Basically, it's about becoming more like Mr. Spock and less like Sheldon Cooper.
So, are you ready for this cosmic shake-up? Because like it or not, Pluto in Aquarius is here, and it's about to make things a whole lot more interesting!
