The Sun Alright, time to talk about some space stuff! So, the sun has been pretty active lately. There was an M5.8/2N flare from Region 3243 (N18W78, Dao/Beta) at 06/0228 UTC, which caused a type IV radio sweep at 06/0238 UTC and a tenflare of 460 sfu at 06/0243 UTC. Meanwhile, Region 3241 (N27E05, Hsx/Alpha) was responsible for C4.2 and C7.2 flares at 06/1424 and 06/1442 UTC. And Region 3242 (N10E12, Esc/Beta) was the biggest AR on the visible disk and produced an M1 flare at 06/1750 UTC. Phew, that's a lot of activity! But not everything was super exciting. Region 3245 (S23E33, Dko/Beta-Gamma) was relatively quiet, with just some minor growth and a weak gamma magnetic signature. And Region 3248 (N17W47, Cro/Beta) grew rapidly but wasn't really remarkable in any other way. Overall, things are a bit unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced and solar wind speed high, which is making those retrograde effects even more intense. The solar kp index is feeling it too. Speaking of solar wind, the parameters indicate negative polarity CH HSS influence. The solar wind speed peaked near 630 km/s, total field averaged 5-6 nT, and Bz was +/- 5 nT. Phi was mostly in a negative solar sector. So, what can we expect? Well, there's 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. #SpaceStuff #DoctorWhoReference #SolarFlares #Astrology #ScienceIsCool

The Moon Oh, sweetie, listen up! So, the moon is currently waxing in Virgo at 13 degrees, 32' 02" and moving at a velocity of 12.17 degrees per day. The full moon is 14.5 days old and hanging out about 400954.09 km from the center of the Earth. And get this, the next new moon is scheduled for 17:26:44 on March 21st, 2023, while the next full moon is coming up at 4:37:18 on April 6th, 2023. #moonmagic #astrologyrocks But let's talk specifically about the moon in Virgo, shall we? It's all about the details, honey! This is the time to focus and get things done, especially in your professional life. Pay attention to the little everyday things and get organized, plan, and execute like a boss. And if you feel the sudden urge to tidy up your living space, go ahead and do it! The moon's Virgo transit is going to give you the clarity of thought you need to tackle those projects you've been putting off. #getitdone #virgomoonvibes Oh, and don't be surprised if you suddenly feel motivated to take better care of yourself when the moon is in Virgo. You might find yourself re-evaluating your diet and nutrition, or possibly taking up a new fitness program. Seize the moment, my friend! #selfcare #mooninvirgo

We're all about new experiences and adventurous encounters. #FreshStart #AdventureTime Aries is all about independence and self-interest, so during Venus' transit through Aries, love and relationships may seem a bit selfish or one-sided. But for all the single peeps out there, this is a chance to identify your own needs and explore your options. Venus in Aries gives us that extra spark of confidence to be more assertive when meeting and interacting with others. And for those in relationships, try exploring each other's personal desires and experiencing new things together to reignite the fire between you. #SelfLove #AdventureTogether As for money, Venus in Aries is a time to invest in yourself. Get that new outfit, try a new hairstyle, or go on an active weekend getaway. Just remember to avoid overspending without considering the consequences. #InvestInYourself #TreatYoSelf Overall, Venus in Aries is not a time for long-term commitments.

"Alright, listen up fellow space travelers, I've got some juicy intel on Mars. It's prograde at 21 Gem 41' 31", moving at a speed of 0.42 degrees per day, and currently chillin' at a distance of 180566977 km away from us. But that's not the most important part! Mars is in Gemini, my friends, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride. #MarsInGemini #GetReadyToExplore #NoMoreBoredom With Mars in Gemini, we're all about trying new things and pursuing our interests. It's like we can't sit still for even a second! The only issue is that we tend to jump from one thing to another, without really finishing anything. But hey, that's just part of the Gemini game - diversity and flexibility are key. #GottaTryEverything #SoManyOptions #ButWhereIsTheFocus Now, don't get me wrong, Gemini is all about having fun and being carefree. But Mars in Gemini adds a layer of urgency and action to the mix. We want to experience everything, including the mental stimulation of our partners. That's right, the brain is the new erogenous zone. #StimulateMyMind #TurnOnsWithoutTouching #MarsInGemini Just remember, my dear astro-lovers, to stay focused on your goals and not get too scattered. And if Plan A doesn't work out, no worries, there's always a Plan B, C, and D. Let's go explore the universe! #KeepTheFocus #NeverGiveUp #AstrologyRocks"

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Aries

Pluto

Saturn

Saturn is in Aquarius

"Hey there, my fellow stargazers! Guess what? Saturn is gonna switch things up and move from Aquarius to Pisces in the next 24 hours! It's currently prograde at 29 Aqu 57' 55", moving at a speed of 0.12 degrees per day, and it's about 1610608603 km away and coming closer by the minute. Crazy, right? #SaturnShift #MovingPlanets #AstroNerd" Now, let's talk about what this means for us. When Saturn was in Aquarius, it brought out our inner humanitarians and inspired us to come up with ideas to make the world a better place. It's all about group efforts and making connections with like-minded individuals. But now that it's moving into Pisces, we need to focus on building strong foundations and letting go of those people or things that aren't serving us anymore. This is the perfect time to start or strengthen a relationship, whether it's romantic or platonic. Just be sure to stay true to yourself and let go of anything holding you back. #SaturnInPisces #NewBeginnings #StrongFoundations #LetGoToGrow"

And get this, it's over 3 billion kilometers away and receding! #faroutman Now, Taurus is known for being pretty chill and liking things to stay the same. But Uranus is all about shaking things up! So during this time, we might see some major changes in how we handle money. Maybe we'll even see new forms of currency or changes in the stock market. #revolution On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is telling us to break free from the chains of debt and materialism. It might be tough, but we gotta be ready and willing to change our relationship with money. Embrace the change, my friends! It'll bring us to a better place in the end. #liberation #nomoredebt

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

"Hey there stargazers, have you heard the news? Neptune is prograde at 24 Pis 47' 11", moving at a snail's pace of 0.04 degrees per day, and is about 4621386170 km away from us and getting further away! #NeptuneinPisces is giving us a whole new perspective on things.

It's like we're seeing through the fog and finding clarity in our contradictions. #CollectiveProgress #HealingVibes This transit is calling us to tap into our unique gifts and ideas, and use them to contribute to the progress and healing of our society. We all have something special to offer and now is the time to explore our emotional intelligence to find out what that is. #FindYourGift #ExploreYourEmotions It's also the perfect time to dive into a spiritual path that resonates with us, or create an altar space at home to connect with our sacred selves. Neptune in Pisces is nudging us to share these ideas with the world and it's got our backs in this process. #SpiritualPath #ShareTheLove"

Pluto

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

"Hey there space cadets, it's your favorite astrologer here to talk about Pluto in Capricorn! So get this, Pluto is prograde at 29 Cap 39' 12", moving at a speedy 0.02 degrees per day, and is only 5294661356 km away and approaching. Whoa, that's out of this world! #Pluto #Capricorn #SpaceyVibes Now, when Pluto and Capricorn team up, they are all about success and power. They have an intense focus that makes them super efficient at getting stuff done. But watch out, because during this transit, we might become less compassionate towards other people's views. Both Pluto and Capricorn are results-driven, so don't be too quick to dismiss other ideas. #Success #Power #Intention Pluto also wants us to let go of negative patterns that aren't working for us anymore. But remember, this means some constructive destruction. So be careful about what you're destroying as you create something new. #NewBeginnings #DestructionAndCreation #AstrologyHumor"

The Sun

Well, well, well, my starry-eyed friends! Today we're talking about the Sun Opposite Moon, and it's a doozy. You gotta balance those emotions with your individuality, or you'll be in for a rough ride. Watch out for trouble with the opposite sex, authority figures, or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to pop up like whack-a-moles. And don't forget to take care of yourself, 'cause vitality may be low today. Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of those born under this aspect. Sun Opposite Moon folks have a real struggle between their needs and wants. They're like a see-saw, going back and forth between different directions. They can't help but consider the opposing viewpoint, always playing devil's advocate. It's hard for them to find happiness within themselves, so they tend to look for fulfillment from others. That can lead to serious relationships at an early age, and even divorce if their needs aren't met. But hey, they're excellent psychologists, able to read people like a book... as long as they're not emotionally involved. These people can be a bit loony, with a unique sense of humor. And they're complex, interesting creatures. But watch out, they can frustrate the people around them with their indecisiveness and frequent changes of mind. Their changes of heart are a result of a real internal struggle, not insincerity. So be patient with them, 'cause they're sensitive and temperamental. If you're dealing with Sun Opposite Moon tension, look for a planet that might trine and sextile the opposition for a way to release the tension. And remember, relationships can be a struggle for these folks, but they're willing to work on it if their partner is too. So there you have it, folks.

That's why people love being around you, even when you're being a little weird. Some famous folks who share this aspect include Gregory Peck, Paula Abdul, and Tiger Woods (to name just a few). So don't be afraid to let your freak flag fly and see where it takes you! Just remember to use the hashtags #AstrologyRocks and #BarbarellaVibes to share your experience with the world.

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.

Ahh, my young stargazers, turbulent times ahead we have. Unsettled the solar kp index is, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. But beware, the solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased! In Virgo, the waxing Full Moon resides at 13 degrees, 32' 02". Ponder your purpose, you must. Focus on your goals, you shall. New moon approaching, on March 21, 2023, at 17:26:44 it will arrive. Prepare yourself, meditate and align your chakras, you should. Full moon, on April 6, 2023, at 4:37:18, will shine bright. Emotions will be heightened, beware you must, but enjoy the ride, you should. Saturn shifting from Aquarius to Pisces in the next 24 hours it is. Adapting to change, you must. Trust in the universe, you should. #YodaSpeaks #AstroHumor #NerdyVibes #MayTheStarsBeWithYou
