Retrograde Report for 30 December, 2023

There are currently 3 planets in retrograde:

Our cosmic buddy Mercury is currently chilling in Sagittarius, the zodiac's own Indiana Jones, always up for an adventure. This may lead to misunderstandings as big as the black hole at the center of our galaxy, especially if you've been texting while sleepwalking again. Remember folks, Mercury in Sagittarius doesn't have a filter - think before you speak, or else you might accidentally declare your love for pizza over your partner. 🍕💔

Venus, our planetary goddess of love, is also hanging out in Sagittarius. This might make your heart gallop faster than a horse chasing a comet. So, if you're feeling more romantically adventurous than usual, blame it on Venus. But remember, no matter how tempting, do NOT text your ex. They're probably a black hole in disguise. 📵🖤

Mars, too, is in Sagittarius. Are you noticing a pattern? It's like a planetary reunion at the Archer's house! Mars here is all about charging ahead, full steam. But don't get carried away, or you might end up on Pluto without a spacesuit. Just remember: passion is great, but so is oxygen. 🚀🌬️

Jupiter, the king of planets, is lounging in Taurus. Expect growth in unexpected places – like finding out you've got a knack for quantum physics or realizing you can touch your nose with your tongue. Embrace the weirdness. Just don’t turn into a black hole of self-indulgence. 🍨😲

Saturn is in Pisces, bringing discipline to our dreams. It can either manifest as a reality check as harsh as a meteorite to the head, or a helpful guide pointing us towards the North Star. So, listen to that little voice inside your head. Unless it's telling you to eat the last slice of pizza at 2 am. Then ignore it. #SaturnSaysNoToLateNightSnacking 🌙🍕

Uranus is in Taurus shaking things up. It’s like

The moon is currently in Leo, at 15 degrees, 04' 40", at a velocity of 12.09 degrees per day.

The Waning Gibbous moon is currently 17.8 days old. It is 403312.42 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 11:58:05, 11 Jan 2024. The next full moon is at 17:54:43, 25 Jan 2024.

Solar wind parameters were indicative of mild to moderate enhancements in the IMF. These were likely due to anticipated CME arrivals near Earth. Total IMF strength varied and ranged mainly from 5 to 11 nT, while the Bz component underwent primarily weak deviations. Solar wind speed steadily declined from ~425 km/s to just under 350 km/s before ending the period at about 375 km/s. The phi angle was positive until near 29/1134 UTC when it deflected into a negative sector.

There is a 25% 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.
