The Sun

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3323 (S08W04, Eki/beta-gamma) was the largest and most complex of the 8 active regions on the visible disk, but only produced a few, minor x-ray enhancements above C-class background levels. Regions 3320 (N10W21, Cso/beta) and 3327 (S15E56, Dai/beta) also produced isolated enhancements, but were otherwise inactive. The remaining regions were generally stable or in decay.

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.

Solar wind parameters were mildly elevated above normal, background levels likely as a result of weak influence from a positive polarity CH HSS. Total magnetic field strength peaked at 10 nT and its Bz component did not undergo significant deviations. Wind speeds crested at around 450 km/s by late morning, but decreased to between 350-400 km/s by days end. The phi angle was oriented away from Sun in a positive solar sector.

There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waning moon is currently in Capricorn, at 13 degrees, 53' 13", at a velocity of 14.66 degrees per day.

The Waning Gibbous moon is currently 17.1 days old. It is 366394.44 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 4:39:10, 18 Jun, 2023. The next full moon is at 11:40:30, 3 Jul, 2023.

Moon Is In Capricorn

Greetings, celestial travelers! Gather 'round and lend me your ears, for today we're diving into the cosmic depths of our lunar companion, as it hangs out in the ever-ambitious land of Capricorn. Now, don't go losing your marbles because this lunar placement is a whopping 365,198.789825021km away from our humble home planet. But fear not, my fellow stargazers, for distance only makes the heart grow fonder. Now, in the spirit of Riddick, that intergalactic renegade with a penchant for snark and sarcasm, let's delve into what this means for you. When the Moon kicks back in Capricorn, it's like a celestial CEO, all suited up and ready to take charge. It's time to channel your inner Riddick and tackle those goals with the tenacity of a space-faring outlaw. As the Moon cozies up to Capricorn, you might find yourself feeling a bit more responsible and goal-oriented in your earthly pursuits. You may be tempted to swap your hippie tie-dye threads for a smart blazer. But hey, who says you can't rock both looks? Embrace your inner nerd and start plotting a course for world domination - or, you know, a well-organized planner. One small step for man, one giant leap for your career aspirations! With the Moon in Capricorn, you'll feel a gravitational pull towards climbing the corporate ladder, but don't forget to take a break from the rat race and reconnect with nature. After all, we're just cosmic dust floating through space, man. In the immortal words of Riddick, "It's been a long time since I smelled beautiful." So, take this opportunity to appreciate the beauty around you, even if it means stopping to smell the roses in your neighbor's garden (Just don't get caught, or you'll end up like Riddick - on the run!). So strap on your space goggles and get ready to conquer the galaxy - or at least that pile of laundry that's been growing in the corner. Remember, with the Moon in Capricorn, it's all about balance between responsibility and self-care. You've got this, cosmic voyager! And if all else fails, just ask yourself: What would Riddick do?

Mercury in Taurus: A Galactic Groove

Hey there, cosmic cats and kittens! Mercury's hitching a ride with Taurus, and it's taking us on a trip to the far-out land of practicality. With Mercury being the planetary mastermind behind our thoughts and communication, it's like our brains are being beamed up by Taurus' down-to-earth tractor beam. And with a whopping 144,270,123.380305886 km distance between us, it's no wonder we're feeling the cosmic pull!

So, grab your space shades and slip into your moon boots, 'cause this astrological alignment is all about getting groovy with grounded thinking. Forget daydreams and airy-fairy ideas – Taurus is giving us the superpower to turn our wildest thoughts into out-of-this-world plans that even Spock would approve.

While Mercury's orbiting Taurus, our conversations might lose their rocket fuel and take a slower pace, but that's just what we need, man! It's time to lay down the lunar bricks and build a stargate to our future success. With Taurus' determination and Mercury's smarts, we'll be cruisin' through the universe, manifesting dreams like they're going out of style.

So, let's blast off into a new reality where imagination takes a back seat to solid foundations, and wishful thinking gets replaced with straight-up cosmic pragmatism. The stars are aligning in our favor, space cadets, so let's make the most of this intergalactic groove and get our earthly affairs in order. Peace, love, and rock(et) on!

Venus Is In Leo

Galactic Greetings, Earthlings! Venus in Leo Extravaganza!

Hold on to your space helmets, my cosmic comrades, for the celestial showstopper has arrived! The interstellar enchantress, Venus, has sashayed her way into the fiery, flamboyant embrace of Leo, and it's time to buckle up for a love rollercoaster that's about to take off at warp speed!

When Venus, the cosmic queen of love, locks arms with the theatrical lion of Leo, it's like a supernova of passion and creativity! Expect an explosion of romantic gestures that would make even the most stoic Vulcan raise an eyebrow. Prepare yourselves for dates that defy gravity, love confessions that echo across the galaxy, and yes, possibly a few melodramatic tantrums worthy of an interplanetary soap opera.

Beware, though, fellow space travelers, for no one wants to be merely liked or appreciated during this cosmic tango – we demand to be adored. It's time to boldly go where no love has gone before, so those who play it safe might find themselves floating through the void of space, unrequited and alone.

Alas, love is not all smooth sailing on this starship. With Leo's penchant for drama, we might feel a gravitational pull toward conflict if we're not basking in the limelight. Remember, fellow beings of the cosmos, that there is no "i" in "we," and focusing solely on your own needs may land you in a solitary orbit.

Now, let's talk space credits! Money takes on a new dimension during this Venus in Leo extravaganza. It's all about showering yourself and your loved ones with cosmic luxuries – think glittering asteroid belts and star-studded spa days. While treating yourself to some intergalactic indulgences might feel like a supernova of satisfaction, remember that Leo's generosity knows no bounds. Lavishing your fellow space voyagers with out-of-this-world gifts will bring you even more cosmic contentment.

So, my celestial siblings, strap in and prepare for a vibrant Venus in Leo experience that will re-energize your connections, remind you that life without some asteroid-dodging excitement is like an uncharted black hole, and above all, keep your love burning brighter than a thousand suns!

Mars Is In Leo

Cosmic Groove: Mars in Leo, Baby!

Picture this, stardust siblings: Mars, the cosmic party animal, has just strutted into the psychedelic realm of Leo the Lion. That's right! It’s time to let your freak flag fly and embrace the motto "dance like no one's watching, but secretly hope they are."

With Mars chillin' at a groovy 305,144,044.752 km away, it's time to channel your inner disco king or queen and follow your heart to the beat of your own drum machine. We're talkin' 'bout a cosmic love revolution, baby, where creativity and enthusiasm know no bounds.

But hold up, celestial comrades! This Mars in Leo mash-up comes with a caution: don't let your intergalactic ego get too inflated! Sure, Leo rules the heart, and having the confidence of a cosmic cat is rad. But remember, being a stellar performer doesn't mean you can just phone it in. Respect and admiration are earned, not handed out like free hugs at a music festival.

Now, we all know drama can be as contagious as a funky bass line, but don't let the spotlight-seeking siren call of Mars in Leo lead you astray. Keep your ego in check and avoid causing a cosmic commotion. After all, ain't nobody got time for planetary pandemonium.

So what's the far-out lesson here, space cadets? Embrace your ego, but don't let it control you. Mars in Leo is a time to boogie down and celebrate life's groovy moments, all while keeping your feet on the ground (or at least within the Earth's gravitational pull). Find balance in the cosmic dance, and remember: the universe is one big disco ball, just waiting for you to shine.

When Jupiter Meets Taurus: A Cosmic Voyage of Wisdom and Chill Vibes

Gather 'round, space cadets! Our groovy galactic guide, Jupiter, has taken a detour into the realm of Taurus, and it's time to embrace the cosmic collision of wisdom and chillaxation. So, grab your favorite telescope, put on your nerdiest socks, and buckle up for a journey through the stars!

Picture this: Jupiter, that big ol' planet of deep thoughts, is currently 849,728,435.167465091 km away (but who's counting?). It's cruising through the galaxy in prograde motion, which is a fancy way of saying it's moving forward, just like you, my fellow stargazers. As it cozies up to Taurus, the most laid-back zodiac sign, we're reminded that our inner hippie has all the answers we've been seeking. All we need to do is drown out the noise of the daily grind and tap into our own interstellar wisdom.

With Jupiter in Taurus, it's time to get off your asteroid and make some serious progress towards those dreams and goals you've been storing in your mental galaxy. Combine Jupiter's growth vibes with Taurus' patient and headstrong attitude, and you've got yourself an astronomical recipe for success. Just remember to trust the process, man, and watch as your achievements soar to new cosmic heights.

Now, let's talk moolah, baby! When Jupiter, the planet of good luck and fortune, teams up with Taurus, the zodiac's financial whiz kid, it's like winning the celestial lottery. This cosmic combo might just yield some big bucks, but don't go spending all your space cash on moon rocks and star-shaped sunglasses just yet. It's important to examine your financial galaxy and look for opportunities to grow your wealth in a practical, down-to-earth way.

But beware, my fellow space travelers! Taurus is known for its love of indulgence and may try to tempt you with shiny new gadgets and luxurious intergalactic vacations. When Jupiter's expansive energy meets Taurus' hedonistic tendencies, it's up to you to resist the urge to splurge and, instead, focus on needs rather than wants. Patience and careful impulse control are your secret weapons during this cosmic adventure.

So, strap on your space helmet and

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn Is In Pisces

Ahoy, cosmic travelers! Gather 'round and lend me your ear, for I bring news from the far reaches of the galaxy. Saturn, that ol' taskmaster, is currently doing the backstroke in the dreamy seas of Pisces! If you've been drifting through a nebula of daydreams and wishes, now's the perfect time to turn those fantasies into reality. Picture this: You're Captain John Sheridan from Babylon 5, leading your crew through the vast unknown of the cosmos. Well, my friends, Saturn in Pisces is like that one crew member who's an expert at navigating through the hazy, mystical realms of imagination. Together, you'll boldly go where no daydream has gone before, turning your visions into tangible plans. So buckle up, space cadets, and prepare for liftoff! Now, I must warn you - Saturn in Pisces isn't always a smooth ride on the Starfury. It's got a bit of that "dad energy," and it may poke and prod at your most cherished dreams. But fear not, dear stargazers! Instead of throwing a cosmic tantrum and hanging a "Keep Out" sign on your mental door, let Saturn in and listen to what it has to say. Trust me; you'll thank ol' Saturn later. While you're busy exploring the astral plane with your newfound celestial co-pilot, don't be surprised if your Earthly body experiences some turbulence. Restlessness, anxiety, and sleep disturbances may abound, but fret not! This is merely an invitation to tap into your inner Zen master. Meditate among the stars, take a stroll through an enchanted forest, or breathe deeply in the vacuum of space (metaphorically, of course). And don't forget to catch some Z's, for the wisdom of Saturn in Pisces is best received with a well-rested mind. So, my fellow interstellar explorers, as you journey through this cosmic transit, remember to dream big, plan wisely, and embrace the lessons of Saturn in Pisces. The universe is your playground, and it's time to make your mark among the stars!

Uranus In Taurus: The Cosmic Cash Cow Conundrum

Picture this, stargazers: Uranus, the rebellious, "I-do-what-I-want" planet, is crashing at Taurus' pad for a seven-year-long cosmic sleepover. Now, Taurus is as chill as they come, but they love their routine and stability like a mad scientist loves lab explosions. So, we've got quite the planetary sitcom brewing in the heavens!

While Taurus is busy alphabetizing their spice rack for the zillionth time, Uranus barges in all like, "Hey buddy, let's shake things up and start a financial revolution!" Taurus, clutching their piggy bank, may initially respond with, "Um, no thanks, my comfy couch and I are good." But let's face it, folks, when Uranus knocks on your door, you can't just hide under the bed hoping it'll go away.

So, what does this mean for us Earthlings? Well, hold on to your wallets because our relationship with money is about to get a cosmic makeover! We're talking new currencies (Bitcoin, anyone?), banking makeovers, and a cha-cha-challenge for the housing and stock markets. It's like that one episode where the main character gets a surprise visit from the "What Not to Wear" crew, but for our finances.

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a quirky financial guru who's about to help us break free from the chains of debt, taxes, and those pesky credit card interest rates. It's time to Marie Kondo our material possessions and ask ourselves, "Does this mountain of student loan debt spark joy?" Spoiler alert: probably not.

Change is coming, whether we like it or not, so we might as well groove to the cosmic beat. Embrace the Uranus-induced shake-up and watch as we all evolve towards a more stable and groovy financial future. Peace, love, and prosperity, fellow stargazers!

Our far-out friend Neptune is a whopping 4503976831.044159889km away. That's like, a gazillion trips to the local vegan cafe, man. But even cooler, Neptune is currently going prograde, and that's no joke! So, what does this mean for us earthlings? Picture this: You're swimming through your own ocean of emotions and suddenly, BAM! A lightbulb flickers on, and it's like you've got cosmic x-ray vision. The fog of everyday pettiness lifts, and it's as if we can see the Matrix for what it really is. We're talking next-level unity here, folks! This interstellar alignment is basically like a giant neon sign, flashing "Share Your Inner Magic, Dude!" So, dust off those healing crystals, bust out the tie-dye, and start spreading the love! It's time to explore your own emotional intelligence and figure out how you can contribute to our collective cosmic journey. Feeling called to learn about ancient spiritual paths? Go for it! Want to create a sacred space in your pad for late-night meditation jams? Groovy, baby! Whatever floats your spiritual boat, Neptune in Pisces has got your back.

Greetings, cosmic comrades! Buckle up your moon boots and grab your favorite kale smoothie, 'cause Pluto's crashing Aquarius' party, and it's gonna be one far-out ride! Sure, Pluto may be 5094593912.375349998km away (give or take a couple of light years), but its retrograde vibes are shaking things up like a supernova in a thrift shop! So, what's the dealio with Pluto in Aquarius? Well, groovy earthlings, picture this: Pluto's like the cosmic Marie Kondo, and Aquarius is the ultimate garage sale of our souls. When these two get together, we're about to transform our lives more radically than a chameleon at a color-changing contest. Pluto's all about that death and rebirth jazz, and Aquarius is the poster child for progress. So, when they join forces, they're like the ultimate cosmic tag team, ready to Hulk-smash outdated ideas and toss them into the black hole of history. We're not just talking minor tweaks to our Spotify playlists or trying out new yoga poses. Oh no, we're talking about global shifts in science, technology, and space travel! Expect some major "Eureka!" moments and maybe even the invention of the hoverboard we've all been waiting for. *Fingers crossed* But hold onto your reusable straws, my eco-conscious friends, because this transit isn't just about shiny gadgets and rocket ships. We're also due for some serious soul-searching when it comes to civil rights and humanitarianism. While Pluto's in Aquarius, the coolest cats on the block will be the ones who can come together like a cosmic consciousness collective, fighting for equality and unity across the galaxy. In our personal lives, Pluto's saying, "Hey, man, let's take a step back and think about what's really important." Sure, we all want the latest iPhone or a swanky new telescope, but what if we started putting others' needs before our own? What if we thought about how our actions today could make the universe a groovier place for everyone tomorrow? So, listen up, stardust siblings! The time has come to hop aboard the Pluto-Aquarius Express and answer the call for change. Will you join the cosmic revolution and help create a future that's outta this world? Far out, man. Far out.

Mercury

Mercury Conjunct Uranus

Thoughts race around your head like electricity. New and original ideas bombard your mind and you want to express these in communication with your friends. There is freedom in thought as well as in speech and you don't want anyone to put restraint on you. Avoid jumping to conclusions and slow down your mind if you have to. Pay attention to what you are doing so you don't have an accident.You are an independent thinker with progressive ideas. Many of you are brilliant in your own way, able to grasp a wide variety of topics with speed, although not always understood. Your thinking is often ahead of your time. You speak with honesty, and you can be very stubborn about it — you say what you think and if it doesn’t go over well, it’s not something that causes you much concern. You don’t obediently accept rules, especially social ones, and prefer to work at your own pace. You might resent having to follow codes, and you have a strong distaste for taking part in mental tasks that you don’t totally believe in. You don’t like to “fake” anything, and this can be challenging in the school years when you might frequently be called on to write about topics that don’t interest you. Your mental energy and output is quite variable, as you prefer to work when inspired. You are a very interesting conversationalist, offering unusual opinions and perspectives. You are not always in touch with yourself, and should take time to reflect so that you don’t attach yourself to ideas that are based more on instigating and challenging established thought than on what you truly believe. You are easily bored, especially by routine tasks. Your thoughts, and possibly speech, can be scattered and disorderly, although you generally know where everything is even if it doesn’t appear to be the case. You dislike hypocrisy, and truth is important to you above all else.Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report — You get a new idea every minute and have difficulty waiting to express it. You are truly innovative and original in your thought process. While you are nervous, you do have good mechanical aptitude. If you can get control of your hands and mind, you can be quite inventive. You have a love for technical subjects and do your best work while blazing new trails on the frontiers of knowledge. Most of your difficulties stem from situations that require you to be regular, ordinary, and consistent, conforming to everyone else’s procedures. Unfortunately for you, a certain amount of traditional training is necessary or no one will understand how good your ideas really are. You have a flood of New Age information in you. You need to find a way to express it.Some Famous People with Mercury conjunct Uranus: Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Leonard Nimoy, Humphrey Bogart, Desi Arnaz, e. e. cummings.

Venus

Venus

Venus Opposite Pluto

Strong desires and passions sometimes go along with this aspect. There may be the desire to completely change the partner or to completely transform any current relationship. Jealousy, possessiveness, and the desire to have control over others makes today's influence very difficult. You can't change someone else and you can't run their life, so stop trying or else the resentment they feel toward you will have destructive consequences. Make up your mind not to manipulate people.In an attempt to control the outcome of a love relationship, or the loved one’s feelings, you can turn to manipulative games. Even if you do “succeed” at it, there is never a feeling that you’ve won someone over for who you are, and this feeds a vicious cycle that you should try to avoid getting yourself into. Your feelings are intense, and even extreme, when it comes to love. You might attract intense relationships that have love-hate themes as a result. You are passionate when you love, definitely, but also passionate when you hate. You easily put pressure on your partner, as you expect much loyalty and honesty in your intimate relationships. Be careful not to let your relationships get to a point where your partner is superfluous and you are working through your own inner demons through him or her. Certainly, you will learn much about yourself through your relationships, and you may not always like what you see. You will meet yourself (the “darker” side or inner demons) through your relationships, and it will be critical that you recognize it as your own “material” and not project it onto your partner. Letting go of a relationship can be hard for you to do, especially if Venus is in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius).Alternate interpretations:You are capable of being a great manipulator and are often caught up trying to make things appear a certain way. You are the one who suffers from this tendency the most. You tend to get tied down to a pattern of endless repetition in relationships. You have difficulty in letting go even when a situation is painful. You are always dealing with people as symbols of others who are not even present. Love and power become confused with one another. You have a deeply lodged need to establish your sense of self worth. Once this is secure you can overcome your fear of being dissolved in a relationship built on equality and will start having more normal interactions. You need to be less concerned with how you appear to others and more concerned with how you are. — Interpretation sample from the Indra (In-Depth Profile) report.#Your sexual intensity can lead you into all the wrong kinds of relationships. With a bit of judgment however, that very intensity can set you and your partner on the path of creative expression, and can stimulate bursts of spiritual consciousness. Allow time in between to integrate your experiences. Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report.~You are more aware of love’s burdens than its bliss. You do want a permanent, growing love relationship, but you seem to attract the type of people who aren’t willing to give as much as you need. With time you will learn the positive meanings of love, which will be all the more precious to you because you already know the pains. One of the things you may become more aware of as you experience love is that your relationships reflect your own inner turmoil; as soon as you start respecting yourself as you are now, you will find that you attract a giving, loving person more easily. Marriage could occur out of a strong need for financial and emotional security. Some of your love affairs could be secret ones, possibly with married persons. An intense love affair for which you are forced to give your all could bring about a transformation. — Interpretation sample from the Heaven Knows What report.Some Famous People with the Venus in Hard Aspect to Pluto: Squares – Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, Justin Timberlake, Shirley Temple Black, Britney Spears, Ryan O’Neal, Steve McQueen, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Lee. Oppositions – Ivana Trump, Beau Bridges, Celine Dion, Al Capone, Bridget Fonda, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Julian Lennon, H. G. Wells.

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.
