There are currently 3 planets in retrograde:

Hey space cadets! 🚀 So, Mercury's hanging out in Capricorn, which means you might feel like you're communicating through a droid translator. Fear not, young Padawan, it's just a phase. Clear communication is as close as a jump to light speed. #MercuryInCapricorn #RetrogradeRealness

And Venus! Sweet Venus is frolicking in the underworld of Scorpio. Emotions running deeper than the Sarlacc pit? It's all good, just remember: love isn't an Ewok, it's not always cute and cuddly. Embrace the passion, but don’t lose your head over it, okay? #VenusInScorpio #LoveIsntAlwaysAnEwok

Meanwhile, Mars is doing its warrior dance in Sagittarius. If you're feeling more aggressive than a Wookiee playing Dejarik– relax! Channel that energy into adventure, not anger. Remember, the force is with you. #MarsInSagittarius #WookieeWarrior

Jupiter's lounging in Taurus, making us all feel a bit like Jabba the Hutt after a big meal. Enjoy the bounty, but don't get too comfortable on that throne. Balance is key in this galaxy. #JupiterInTaurus #JabbaTheHuttVibes

Saturn, our taskmaster, is chilling in dreamy Pisces, so you might feel a bit like you've been force-fed some Jedi mind tricks. Stick to the facts, and you'll navigate this nebula. #SaturnInPisces #JediMindTricks

Uranus in Taurus is shaking things up, and it might feel like you're navigating an asteroid field. But remember what Master Yoda says: "Do or do not, there is no try." Be bold, be brave. #UranusInTaurus #AsteroidFieldAdventures

Neptune in Pisces is making everything feel a bit like a Dagobah swamp dream. But don't worry, it's just the universe adding a little extra mystery to your life. Embrace the unknown, and may the force be with you. #NeptuneInPisces #DagobahDreams

The moon is currently in Aries, at 04 degrees, 13' 03", at a velocity of 13.96 degrees per day.

The First Quarter moon is currently 7.9 days old. It is 365165 km from the centre of the Earth.

Solar wind parameters were enhanced and disturbed throughout the period primarily due to waning CME influences. Solar wind speeds, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, have been generally near 600 km/s. Total field ranged 3 to 7 nT, and the Bz component was mostly northward or near neutral. Phi was predominantly positive, but underwent occasional periods in the negative orientation.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 20% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
