Rare Dance of the Planets in late May -Crosspost

http://www.democraticunderground.com/122818826

There is to be a rare celestial choreography in the night sky from May 24 until the end of the month involving three of Earth’s 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. It’s 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?

it's happening in Gemini and there's a lunar eclipse on the 25th.
http://www.aquariumage.com/vibration.html

" Four planets—the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter—are 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 what’s said as well as to what you choose to say, because we’re also in the final eclipse of the season—on May 25, there’s a lunar eclipse—and much of what emerges is likely to be previously withheld feelings or only hinted-at opinions. But that’s 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. There’s so much to say that even the naturally reticent are likely to start spilling the beans—you could even start muttering to yourself. And much of what’s 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

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.

I'm going thru so much right now. It's scary and at the same time welcome. A lot of changes. I know something is happening, don't know how it will turn out, but I pray I will land on my feet.

We just have to remember that we are in the hands of the Mother and we can not fall.
