Stargate Retrograde Mania: Your Nerdy Horoscope

Howdy, cosmic cadets! It's time to check in with the universe and see what the planets have in store. And no, we're not dialing up a gate address, but it might feel like it with all these retrogrades!

Mercury in Virgo

Congratulations! You've won the "most likely to overthink everything" award thanks to our pal Mercury hanging out in Virgo. Don't stress though, it's nothing a little wormhole surfing can't fix.

Venus in Leo

Next up, Venus in Leo. Oooh, feeling a bit frisky, are we? Remember to keep your flirtatious sarcasm in check, or you might end up in a romantic subplot worthy of a sci-fi series. #VenusInLeo #LoveAndLions

Mars in Virgo

With Mars also in Virgo, you're about as charged up as a ZPM. But don't let that push you into being overly critical. Remember, even a Goa'uld has feelings. #MarsInVirgo #ZPMFullCharge

Jupiter in Taurus

Our big buddy Jupiter is hanging out in Taurus, so expect some serious growth... in your snack cravings. Just don't go overboard or you'll need a whole new Stargate to get through your front door. #JupiterInTaurus #SnackAttack

Saturn in Pisces

Feeling a little dreamy with Saturn in Pisces? That's just the universe telling you it's okay to imagine a world where Teal'c tells a joke. Just kidding, that'll never happen. #SaturnInPisces #TealcHumorNotFound

Uranus in Taurus

Uranus is also hitting up Taurus, which means it's time for some unexpected changes. Maybe you'll finally master the Ancient language or invent a new flavor of Jello. Either way, it's going to be a wild ride. #UranusInTaurus #AncientJello

Neptune in

The moon is currently in Pisces, at 01 degrees, 51' 12", at a velocity of 15.19 degrees per day.

The Full moon is currently 16.5 days old. It is 363499.04 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 were indicative of an enhanced solar wind environment, likely the tapering effects from the 28 Jul CME. Solar wind speed remained mostly between 370 km/s and 415 km/s. Total field spent most of the period near 11 nT before dropping below 5 nT by the end of the day. The Bz component underwent a sustained southward deviation at -5 to -10 nT from 02/0500-1630 UTC before turning more northerly at -2 nT to -3 nT. Phi angle was in negative orientation until ~02/1330 UTC when it rotated into a mostly positive orientation.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 10% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
