Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter

The coming weeks are an awesome time to look for planets! This image shows the planets Venus and Saturn closest together in the east before dawn on Monday, November 26. The planet Mercury is moving into view now, too, in the eastern predawn sky, gearing up for a very interesting alignment between Mercury, Venus and Saturn next week. Plus, you can see the planet Jupiter anytime on these late November 2012 nights. Earth will pass between Jupiter and the Sun next week (Sun-Jupiter opposition), placing Jupiter in its best place to observe this year. All four planets – including Mercury – should remain in fine view for the next several weeks. (EarthSky)

Astrological Quote of the Day: "A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with one's individual karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and it's probable future results…The message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth is not meant to emphasize fate – the result of past good and evil - but to arouse man's will to escape from his universal thralldom. What he has done he can undo. None other than himself was the instigator of the causes of whatever effects are now prevalent in his life. He can overcome any limitation, because he created it by his own actions in the first place and because he possesses spiritual resources that are not subject to planetary pressure." ~Swami Sri Yukteswar, guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.
