Greetings star friends, Trace here.

Conjunctions are used in storytelling as harbingers of fantastical plot lines and extraordinary events but if you watch the sky enough you'll see that conjunctions are actually pretty common.

We've got a handful coming up, let me show.

The term conjunction means objects are close together in the sky and this week on September 9th the thin crescent moon will meet the evening star of Venus in the west just after sunset.

Then next week we'll see an even bigger conjunction of three objects the Moon with Saturn on the 16th and then Jupiter on the 17th.

Follow the moon all week to see it grow larger and pass the two gas giants.

That's it.

That's a conjunction.

They're prophecies of great stargazing but I wouldn't fear some kind of conjunctive power other than the power to hold your attention while you keep looking up.
