Rare Dance of the Planets in late May -Crosspost
http://www.democraticunderground.com/122818826There is to be a rare celestial choreography in the night sky from May 24 until the end of the month involving three of Earths neighbours in the Solar System.
Mercury, Jupiter and Venus will all be aligned in the same field of vision, each seeming to spin and move around the others in a phenomenon known as the Dance of the Planets. Its also a good chance to see three planets in the same field of view, and the last time they will be in such a tight grouping until 2026, according to Sky and Telescope magazine.
The dance will take place in the west-northwest sky just after sunset and should be visible to the naked eye, although binoculars will enhance the viewing experience.
From May 24 to 30 all three planets will be within a 5-degree circle, which narrows to a 2.5 degree circle on May 26. But although the dance partners may appear close to each other, they will in reality be distanced by hundreds of millions of miles.
Be sure and watch the video...I hope there won't be too much cloud cover for me to watch in real life.
So, okay, dear astrologically attuned people, what do you make of this?

" Four planetsthe Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiterare aggregating in Gemini, the Sign of communication, and that astral assembly has the potential to turn the days and nights of the week into a watershed of information. Pay attention to whats said as well as to what you choose to say, because were also in the final eclipse of the seasonon May 25, theres a lunar eclipseand much of what emerges is likely to be previously withheld feelings or only hinted-at opinions. But thats not all. Because this lunar eclipse takes place in Sagittarius, a Sign that thrives on conversation, most of us will be talking to anyone who will listen about every little thing. Theres so much to say that even the naturally reticent are likely to start spilling the beansyou could even start muttering to yourself. And much of whats said could be quite startling."
Ann Ortelee didn't really have anything much to say.
I'm not an astrologer or close to it. I depend on others

(3,747 posts)I got a call this morning from a woman I know politically and she told me that a seat had just opened on our county government "quorum court" and it is a governor appointment...ours is a dem. I have no idea if it pays a thing; it would be a good opportunity to get into politics without having to spend a cent or minute on campaigning and I would have some impact as it would change the court back to dem side.
My partner is kind of not really for it...we run our own business and I do most of the work on the day to day. I have to make my decision today as the opening is very small window of time.
