There are no planets in retrograde!

Greetings fellow stardust seekers! Let's talk about this cosmic pile-up we're experiencing right now, shall we? Capricorn seems to be having a bit of a house party with Mercury, Venus and Mars all crashing at its place. This could mean serious business... or that they're just hogging all the good snacks in your astrological pantry. Either way, let's channel our inner Boba Fett and navigate this celestial bounty with style.

Mercury in Cap is like having a protocol droid in your corner, helping you communicate with efficiency and a dash of rigidity. Just remember, friends, even C-3PO knew how to let his circuits down occasionally. #C3P0IsMySpiritAnimal.

Venus in Capricorn is akin to the charming Lando Calrissian. It's about understanding the power of a well-placed compliment, but also knowing when to keep your defenses up. Remember folks, the love you seek is also seeking you... but it might be wearing a cape. #LandoLove.

Then there's Mars in Capricorn. This combo is like Chewbacca on a good hair day - powerful, focused and slightly intimidating. Channel this energy to accomplish your goals. Just remember, no ripping arms out of sockets if things don't go your way. #WookieWisdom.

Meanwhile, Jupiter is lounging in Taurus, like Jabba the Hutt in his palace. Indulgence might be tempting, but remember, too much of a good thing can land you in the Sarlacc pit. #JabbaJustSayNo.

With Saturn and Neptune chilling in Pisces, it's like having Yoda and Obi-Wan guiding you from the other side. Listen to your intuition and don't be afraid to venture into the unknown... or the Dagobah system. #ForceFridays.

Uranus in Taurus is like R2-D2 in overdrive - expect some unexpected twists and turns, but trust that everything will work out.

The moon is currently in Scorpio, at 04 degrees, 45' 12", at a velocity of 12.18 degrees per day.

The Third Quarter moon is currently 21.5 days old. It is 396988.97 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 23:00:44, 9 Feb 2024. The next full moon is at 12:31:19, 24 Feb 2024.

Solar wind parameters became somewhat enhanced early in the UT day, likely due to weak shock influences from the 29 Jan northwestern limb event. Total magnetic field strength increased from below 5 nT to a peak of 8 nT after ~01/0500 UTC. The Bz component briefly reached as far south as -6nT. Solar wind speeds showed only a modest increase from ~400 km/s to a ~440 km/s around 01/0800 UTC and then quickly began a steady decline to ~360 km/s by the end of the period.

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.
