In the sphere of the heavens we are all stars!
What were the ancient peoples thinking when they looked up to the night sky?
With no light pollution to obstruct their view of such a perfect vista,
they must have been in awe.
they must have been in awe.
I am in awe.
I know you have seen them lately-
all lined up in a row in the sky:

Jupiter is the big guy. Venus is the tinier. Chilling out with sister Moon!
The night of the 15th of March, I received no less than 6 calls/texts telling me to go outside and look up.
But I already was outside, looking up!
In astro terms, we call this planetary aspect a conjunction- when the planets line up close to one another, 0°-8° degrees apart.
Two weeks ago, they were aligned in exact degree, today they are about 14° apart,
yet still visible as a duo.

What conjunction means in is that the planets are strongly influencing one another. After all, the planets are merely magnets in the galaxy, attracting and repelling one another.
Conjunction is a power position! These two give one another an extra boost of energy.

Jupiter wants us to expand, explore and improve our lives and the greater good using confident idealism and generosity.
Venus wants us to attract, appreciate and value the physical attributes of this world using beauty and Love.
And the two are in the sign of Taurus, the grounded, productive bull of patience, resources and practicality using manifestation with ease and grace.
Perhaps you were drawn to reading about Buddhist philosophy or feng shui lately, and are planing to set up an altar or rock garden in your yard.
That would be the kind of influence these gorgeous glowing orbs could have on us.
So regardless of whether you subscribe to Astrology like I do-
or not,
or not,
finding beauty and meaning is always wonderful!
I ask you to join me tonight in looking up at the heavens in appreciation of the divine map of stars and glowing planets that connect us through time, geography, and culture-
reminding us all how close to one another we truly are!
