Alright, space cadets! Grab your telescopes and tighten your bow ties. We're about to embark on a cosmic journey that even the Doctor would be stoked about! So sit down, grab a cuppa, and hold on to your fezzes because this is going to be one wild ride! #DoctorWhoNerd #AstrologyIsCool

Mars and Mercury are doing a little cosmic dance in Libra, which is like two frenemies fighting over the last jammy dodger at a tea party. It might get a bit messy, but hey, at least it's entertaining! #Frenemies #JammyDodgers

Venus, our lovely lady of love, is strutting her stuff in Leo. Expect grand gestures and a whole lot of drama! If a lion roars in the savannah and nobody's around to hear it, does it make a sound? Venus in Leo says, "Who cares? I'm fabulous!" #VenusInLeo #Roar

Jupiter's hanging out in Taurus, which is kind of like inviting a sumo wrestler to a vegan potluck. There might be a few raised eyebrows, but ultimately, we'll all learn something new... like how to make tofu not taste like wet cardboard. #JupiterInTaurus #VeganLife

Saturn's chilling in Pisces, and it's giving off major emo vibes. Like Saturn's just discovered My Chemical Romance and is contemplating the meaning of life while listening to 'The Black Parade' on repeat. It's okay Saturn, we've all been there. #SaturnInPisces #EmoPhase

Uranus in Taurus is like a mad scientist experimenting with earthworms. It might seem weird, but who knows? There could be some groundbreaking (pun intended) discoveries on the horizon! #UranusInTaurus #MadScientist

Neptune's also in Pisces, bringing a whole lot of dreamy energy. It's like being lost in a Van Gogh painting... or that one time you accidentally had too much of Auntie Mabel's "special" brownies. #NeptuneInPisces #Trippy

Finally, Pluto in Capricorn is all about transformation and change. Like turning a Dalek into a disco ball. It might seem impossible, but with enough glitter and

The moon is currently in Gemini, at 26 degrees, 34' 54", at a velocity of 12.64 degrees per day.

The Third Quarter moon is currently 20.9 days old. It is 392937.79 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 17:55:08, 14 Oct 2023. The next full moon is at 20:24:27, 28 Oct 2023.

Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected a seemingly mostly nominal solar wind environment. Total field averaged between 6-9 nT. The Bz component was primarily +/- 5 nT with a handful of southward deflections reaching up to -7 nT. Solar wind speeds floundered quite a bit, ranging between ~375 to ~475 km/s. However, when comparing to the limited ACE spacecraft data, these speeds were likely not physical and were likely sub 400 km/s. Phi was predominantly in a positive (Away) solar sector.

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.
