Triple conjunction
A rare and glorious triple conjunction takes place this weekend. You can see it if only you can get up while it is still dark! Look east, towards the spot where you'd be expecting the Sun to rise. You'll see Mercury and Jupiter delightfully close, low on the horizon. Mars is fainter but it is there too. The three form an 'arrowhead' at the base of the sky. The alignment peaks on Sunday - but Friday, Saturday and Monday mornings will also provide rewarding viewing. This classic 'auspicious omen' suggests good news for all of us, one way or another.
From now until December 16, low in the the eastern sky, near the horizon at dawn, Mercury Mars and Jupiter form a rare triple conjunction.This picture from Sky and Telescope shows what you can expect to see this weekend.

Daily Cosmic Calendar

You may seem to have the world on a string, but don't lose your balance. As mentioned in yesterday's calendar entry, the Moon is strong in its natural abode of water Cancer. This is fantastic for antique hunts, experimenting with old-fashioned recipes and baking delights that will thrill family members. However, a long void lunar cycle that began yesterday will continue for the entire day and only end at 3:53AM PST tomorrow. While the Moon is in this potentially compromising position, it is wise to hedge your bets in the financial realm and focus your gaze on completing odds and ends. Romance is also on thin ice due to an abrasive 45-degree link between Mars and Juno (2:45PM PST) happening just a few hours prior to the annual Venus-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius (7:51PM PST). Anytime Venus unites with Pluto, there can be fireworks in love bonds and mysterious gyrations in business affairs. Being too pushy, manipulative or controlling will boomerang with nasty results. The more good humor and friendly vibrations you can conjure up right now, the better. After more than two months confined in Scorpio, Mercury breaks out of its fetters and enters Sagittarius (9:53PM PST). Mercury in this sign can be a great boost for your educational, literary and publishing plans, but you are advised to make those leaps forward tomorrow rather than tonight.
