Special Sky Report!
The full cold moon will occur on Thursday at 6:15 p.m. This will be a SUPER moon (close to Earth)! This week, the sun will set around 5:19 p.m. and rise between 6:37 and 6:41 a.m. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus will be visible in the sky, while Mars, Neptune and Venus will be difficult to see. Mercury will become easier to see later in the week.
See what the astronomer are saying here. See what’s visible in the Bahamas here.
The Geminids Meteor Shower will occur between December 13 and December 14.
Recall that the spring tide, when the tide is the highest or the lowest of the month, occurs twice a month during full and new moons. See the Bahamian tide chart here.
The full moon will ask us to express our feelings when it comes to communication and adventure. Sagittarius season is all about more fun and seeing the big picture! Mercury is no longer in retrograde but still in Scorpio, so we do have intense feelings and deep-seated thoughts coming to the surface. Venus will move from Scorpio to Sagittarius today, so we go from intense feelings to fun and excitement in our relationships as well as flirting with adventure and becoming more open to new ideas. Mars in Sagittarius encourages us to go for it!
What do the astrology people say about ALL this?
