25 March, 2023


24 hr Summary... Solar activity was at low levels with weak C-class flare activity observed from Regions 3259 (S21W05, Cro/beta) and 3260 (N20E04, Cso/beta). Region 3259 developed weak penumbra in the leader portion of the group while Region 3260 grew slightly in overall area. New Region 3264 (N16E70, Hsx/alpha) was numbered this period. The remaining spotted regions were quiet and stable.

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 was highly enhanced for the first half of the period due to CME passage. The most likely candidate of the enhanced activity was from the partial-halo CME associated with the long-duration C4.4 flare at 20/1534 UTC and related filament eruption, to the north of Region 3258. At the time of the flare, Region 3258 was located near N19E18. Total field strength reached a peak of 22 nT while the Bz component reached a maximum southward deviation of -17 nT. Wind speeds varied through the period between about 400-485 km/s. Phi was mostly positive through about 24/0730 UTC and variable thereafter.

There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 20% chance of a moderate event, and a 10% chance of a strong event.

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings, fellow space travelers! Saturn is in Pisces, and let me tell you, it's a doozy. Saturn is 1592087693.761912107km away, but that doesn't mean its influence isn't felt. It's like having a giant cosmic dad looking over your shoulder, asking you about your daydreams and plans for the future. Now, I know some of us don't want to be questioned about our innermost desires, but trust me, Saturn's advice is more helpful than you'd like to admit. This is the perfect time to gather up all those dreams and ideas we've been mulling over and really plan out how to make them happen. Write a business plan, work out a budget, look into loan options. But with all this focus on the Piscean realm of dreams and sleep, we may feel restless and anxious. So take the time to cultivate inner calm. Meditate, go for a walk in nature, breathe deeply, take a nap (but have a dream journal ready!), and make sure to get a good night's sleep.

Now go forth and conquer your daydreams!

Uranus Is In Taurus

Attention all Tauruses! Brace yourselves because Uranus is coming in hot, and it's bringing some big, sudden changes your way. I know, I know, you like things steady and stable, but sometimes you gotta shake things up to make them better. Trust me, I'm a pilot and I've had my fair share of turbulence. Money is your jam, Taurus, and during Uranus' seven-year stay in your sign, get ready for some revolutionary ways of handling and dealing with money on a national and global level. Who knows, we might even see the rise of brand-new forms of currency! But on a personal level, Uranus is here to liberate you from the grips of money. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages may have you feeling trapped, but it's time to break free and change your relationship with materialism. Don't resist these changes, Taurus. Embrace them like a warm hug from a loved one (or a Cylon, if that's your thing). The changes you make now can lead you to a point of greater stability in the long run. And remember, Uranus is 3049551492.249871731km away, so let's make the most of its prograde energy while it's here.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
