Retrograde Report for 24 March, 2024

There are no planets in retrograde!

First up, Mercury is lounging in Aries, which could be a bit of a cosmic conundrum. It's like the Q Continuum decided to throw a party in the Alpha Quadrant - lots of chatter, but not much sense. So keep your universal translators handy, because communication might get a little...wibbly-wobbly. #MercuryInAries #TalkativeMuch

Meanwhile, Venus and Mars are having a rendezvous in Pisces. It's like a Romulan and a Klingon trying to play nice at Quark's bar - a bit awkward, but potentially rewarding if you can navigate the emotional nebulae. So strap on those emotion-suppression belts and prepare for some galactic diplomacy. #VenusInPisces #MarsInPisces #SpaceDate

Jupiter in Taurus is like Captain Picard in a Ferengi negotiation - he's got the goods, but you'll need to work for it. Expanding horizons might require a few more holodeck simulations than usual. #JupiterInTaurus #MakeItSo

Saturn in Pisces is all about those Deep Space Nine vibes - a little mysterious, a lot structured, but always interesting. Just remember, the Prophets work in mysterious ways...especially when you're dealing with temporal anomalies. #SaturnInPisces #DS9

Uranus in Taurus is a bit like a Trill symbiont - offering unique insights and sudden changes. Just hold onto your phasers, because it's gonna be a wild ride! #UranusInTaurus #HoldOnTight

Neptune in Pisces is like swimming in the Bajoran wormhole - deep, spiritual, and a little trippy. It's the perfect time for some Vulcan meditation or maybe even a vision quest on Bajor. #NeptuneInPisces #SpaceMeditation

And finally, we have Pluto in Aquarius, which is like finding a stable wormhole in the Gamma Quadrant - rare, transformative, and full of potential. Just make sure to avoid any Dominion entanglements. #Pl

The moon is currently in Virgo, at 22 degrees, 48' 23", at a velocity of 11.81 degrees per day.

The Full moon is currently 13.8 days old. It is 405462.8 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 18:23:21, 8 Apr 2024. The next full moon is at 23:51:09, 23 Apr 2024.

Solar wind parameters were enhanced over the period, likely due to transient activity and a possible transition to CIR influence during the latter part of the day. Solar wind speed increased from lows near 330 km/s midday to ~470 km/s by the end of the period. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 3-17 nT. The Bz component was southward through most of the day and reached as far south as -14 nT around 23/1800 UTC. Phi angle was mostly negative after 23/0300 UTC.

There is a 10% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 35% chance of a strong event.
