Venus and Jupiter sky show

This week is an incredibly auspicious time as a rare sight can be seen from the 1st Dec, Venus and Jupiter with the crescent moon. This sign has been adopted as a symbol of luck and good fortune in the Middle East, as it is so rare to see this conjunction. At the end of the day, when the horizon is turning red and the zenith is cobalt-blue, step outside and look southwest. You’ll see Venus and Jupiter beaming side-by-side through the twilight. Glittering Venus is absolutely brilliant and Jupiter is nearly as bright. The BBC have got some pics up from around the world.

According to astrologer Pam Curruthers:

“Venus is the Goddess, she brings love and relationships and governs the heart. Jupiter is the largest and most bountiful planet and is the bringer of joy, happiness, expansion and good fortune.This magical evening they will be joined by the crescent moon. This is the perfect time to wish upon a star. Celebrate this day. It’s a new beginning for Love. It has more astrological potency than the New Year.”
