Retrograde Report for 1 August, 2023

There are currently 4 planets in retrograde:

First off, Mercury is in Virgo, which means that our communication skills are as sharp as Boba Fett's aim. So whip out those spreadsheets, or just draw the Death Star on a napkin - your attention to detail is spot-on. #MercuryInVirgo #BobaFettStyle 🎯

Venus, our cosmic love guru, is prancing around in Leo. Expect your love life to be more dramatic than a lightsaber duel on Mustafar. Feeling like the star of your own intergalactic soap opera yet? #VenusInLeo #LoveIsInTheStars 💘

Mars is also hanging out in Virgo. You might feel the urge to analyze everything and perhaps even overthink. But hey, remember when Boba Fett fell into the Sarlacc pit? He didn't overthink; he just got himself out of there! #MarsInVirgo #NoOverthinking 🧠

Jupiter has gone bull mode in Taurus. Look out for opportunities as big as the Death Star itself. Just remember to not let them explode in your face. #JupiterInTaurus #DeathStarOpportunities 🌑

Saturn's chilling in Pisces, so you might feel an urge to retreat into your own personal Dagobah. Embrace it, but don't forget to come out once in a while. There's a whole galaxy out there waiting for you! #SaturnInPisces #SoloRetreat 🏞️

Uranus in Taurus is shaking things up like an Ewok party. Try to stay grounded, or you might find yourself dancing on treetops. #UranusInTaurus #EwokParty 🎉

Neptune in Pisces tends to blur reality, like a Jedi mind trick. Keep your wits about you and remember, the force is strong with you! #NeptuneInPisces #JediMindTrick 🌀

And lastly, Pluto in Capricorn is enforcing some serious discipline. It might feel like you're doing the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, but hey,

The moon is currently in Aquarius, at 01 degrees, 18' 11", at a velocity of 15.24 degrees per day.

The Full moon is currently 14.2 days old. It is 364572.63 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 9:38:49, 16 Aug 2023. The next full moon is at 1:37:05, 31 Aug 2023.

Solar wind parameters reflected a weakly enhanced, yet waning solar wind environment as CH HSS influence weakened. Solar wind speed decreased from a peak near 500 km/s down to end the period near 360 km/s. Total field was steady near 5 nT, and the Bz component was less than -5 nT. Phi angle was mostly positive throughout the period.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 10% chance of a strong event.
