Solar activity was at very low to low levels. X-ray flux background decreased to B-class levels as Region 3625 (N10W84, Dao/beta) transits beyond the NW limb. New Region 3627 (N09E66, Hrx/alpha) was numbered. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
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 reflected sustained positive polarity CH HSS influences. Total field averaged between 2 and 6 nT, and the Bz component was +/- 5 nT. Solar wind speeds ranged between ~410-465 km/s and phi was predominantly positive with brief excursions into a negative solar sector.
There is a 40% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Listen up, folks! Pluto, our favorite icy dwarf planet, is moonwalking its way through Aquarius right now. And if Pluto were a guest at a party, it'd be the one who shows up unannounced, drinks all your best wine, and somehow leaves your house looking cleaner than when they arrived. Why? Because Pluto is all about transformation, baby!
Now, when I say transformation, I don't mean you'll suddenly decide to dye your hair pink or adopt seven cats (though, with Pluto, you never really know). No, this is soul-level stuff! We're talking clearing out those dusty corners of your identity, tossing out the old baggage, and making space for something shinier, newer, better.
Meanwhile, Aquarius is over here like an alien tech whiz, pushing all kinds of buttons for progress. If Pluto is the cleanup crew, Aquarius is the architect drafting the blueprints for the future. So, buckle up, because these two combined are about to kick humanity into high gear!
Expect some pretty wild shifts on a global scale - maybe teleportation will finally be a thing? But also, look out for massive leaps forward in civil rights and humanitarian efforts. The heroes of this era won't be lone wolves but collaborative crusaders valuing empathy and unity. Governments and systems that used to squabble might just find common ground and start playing nice. It's like witnessing the biggest group hug in history!
On a personal level, this cosmic combo is nudging us to rethink our place in the universe. Sure, it's easy to focus on our own wants and needs, but what if we started prioritizing the collective good? What if your first instinct was to think about how your actions impact everyone else? It's a heady idea, but that's the transformation Pluto and Aquarius are gunning for. The question is: are you ready to join the party?
Let's remember though, Pluto is currently 5,277,852,602.067376137km away, and in prograde. I know, I know, that's a lot of numbers - it's basically like Pluto is on the other side of the galaxy texting you its life advice. So take your time, no rush, we're all just floating on this big rock together.
