There are currently 6 planets in retrograde:

Good morning, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! It's another exciting day in the universe and your friendly neighborhood astrologer is here to guide you through the cosmic chaos like a Star Trek Voyager on a caffeine high.

First things first, Mercury. Our little messenger seems to have taken a detour into Virgo. If you find yourself analyzing the nutritional information of your breakfast cereal at an atomic level, blame it on Mercury. It's got us all focused on the details like a Vulcan at a Starfleet Academy pop quiz. #MercuryInVirgo #NerdAlert

Next up, we have Venus strutting her stuff in Leo. Expect some drama, flamboyance, and general fabulousness. Don't be surprised if you're suddenly compelled to wear your Starfleet uniform to the grocery store. Remember, resistance is futile against the power of Venus. #VenusInLeo #DramaticEntrance

Meanwhile, Mars in Libra has us all striving for balance like we're trying to navigate the ship through a Borg-infested nebula. Just remember, red alert isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes, it's just a chance to show off your mad diplomacy skills. #MarsInLibra #BorgDiplomacy

Jupiter in Taurus has grounded us like a starship in dry dock. It's time for some R&R, folks. Maybe re-watch some classic episodes of Star Trek? Or how about a nice, relaxing round of three-dimensional chess? #JupiterInTaurus #StarTrekMarathon

Saturn in Pisces, on the other hand, has us feeling like we're stuck in a holodeck simulation of a water park. We're swimming in emotions and intuition. The good news? There's always a safe exit command if things get too deep. #SaturnInPisces #HolodeckFeels

Uranus in Taurus is shaking things up like a Tribble in a grain bin. Expect the unexpected, but remember - even a surprise Tribble infestation can be managed with some patience and a good transporter. #UranusInTaurus #TribbleTrouble

Neptune in Pisces is bringing out our inner mystics. We're feeling connected to the cosmos like we've just mind-melded with Spock. Tap into that

Solar wind parameters were mostly nominal. Total field ranged 4-8 nT and the Bz component was +/- 5 nT with brief deflections of + 6 nT. Solar wind speeds increased gradually over the course of the period, rising from near 350 km/s to near 400 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative with brief excursions into a positive solar sector.

There is a 45% 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.
