There are currently 5 planets in retrograde:

Greetings, fellow space nerds!

Oh boy, oh boy... what a cosmic cocktail we have shaking up in our celestial shaker this month! 🍸🌌

Let's get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we? First up, Mercury is chilling in Virgo. Now, normally, Mercury's like that super efficient office worker who's got all their sticky notes color-coded. But in retrograde, it's more like they've spilled coffee on their entire desk - communication chaos! 📚☕️💼

Venus is lounging in Leo, making us all feel like the star of our own personal telenovela. But remember, too much drama can lead to a real soap opera meltdown! 🎭🦁

Mars, also hanging out in Virgo, is like the personal trainer of the zodiac. He's all about action and getting things done. But in retrograde? It's like trying to run on a treadmill with banana peels for shoes. Slippery and perhaps a bit embarrassing! 🍌🏋️‍♂️

Jupiter's kicking back in Taurus, usually a good sign for growth and prosperity... but in retrograde, it's like winning the lottery and immediately losing the ticket. Maybe check those pockets one more time? 💰🔍

Saturn's hiding out in Pisces, and when he goes retrograde, well, let's just say he's like your overbearing grandfather questioning all your life choices at the family dinner. Brace yourselves, folks! 🧓🐟

Uranus in Taurus might make you want to reinvent everything from your hairstyle to your sock drawer. But be careful, in retrograde, you might end up with a mullet and mismatched socks! 💇‍♀️🧦🐂

Neptune in Pisces is all about dreams and intuition. But when Neptune goes retrograde, your dreams might feel like a Salvador Dali painting. Extra surreal with a side of melting clocks, anyone? 🎨🕰️🐠

Lastly, Pluto in Capricorn usually helps us unearth

The moon is currently in Capricorn, at 10 degrees, 04' 02", at a velocity of 14.43 degrees per day.

Nominal solar wind conditions prevailed throughout the period. Solar wind speeds ranged between 350-430 km/s, total field strength values ranged between 6-8 nT, and Bz reached -6 nT. Density values increased after 26/1530 UTC and the phi angle was positive throughout the period. .Forecast... A slightly enhanced solar wind environment is expected early on 27 Aug through 29 Aug due to the influence of multiple negative polarity CH HSSs.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
