If you’re lucky enough, weather wise, you will witness a spectacular event when the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter come together. It’s recommended to use binoculars to get a better view. The event will occur on Sunday, November 30th until 11a.m. EST on Monday morning for North America.

The Moon, will be very low in the southwestern twilight as it approaches Venus and Jupiter from below (or west) shortly after sunset. Look early, because all three set roughly two hours after sunset. Best views likely will be from about a half hour to an hour after sunset. By Monday evening (12/1) the Moon has passed the two planets, and is somewhat higher and easier to spot. The Moon occults (eclipses) Venus at about 11 a.m. EST on Monday morning, but this is not visible in North America except from far northeastern Canada (as well as parts of northern Europe).

This event almost reminds me of the Fifth Dimension song – Aquarius. Just replace Mars with Venus, or the Moon, and you have a song to play during this spectacular event.

Fifth Dimension song – Aquarius
When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
The peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius

Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding
No more false hoods or derision’s, golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelations, and the mind’s true liberation’s
Aquarius, Aquarius…
