Celestial Sky treat tonight
Moon slides up next to Uranus
And then marches by the Pleiades, Hyades and Jupiter tomorrow.
Southern hemisphere will get a real treat- Moon Occultation of Pleiades - where Moon passes right in front of “eclipsing” the stars.

​A JOVIAN SKY
JUPITER WITH ALDEBARAN HYADES PLEIADES
I was nestled in bed under covers, and then I re-remembered my Celestial Gatekeeping for tonight -
It’s Jupiter close to Aldebaran tonight
Jupiter goes back direct motion tomorrow- so it will be moving back up the horns of the Taurus bull and further away from Hyades,Aldebaran &Pleiades. Choice point!! Get dressed and drag downstairs and go out to see or….not…..
I did it!
What a Crystal clear star studded sky. Wildly windy and frigidly cold and oh so worth it. Wish I was out there now….
Yet happy to be back warm in bed
Here’s the pics

​Lunar Occultation of Mars
Moon “Eclipses” Mars tonight, January 13, 2025
This is my picture from 5:55 pm EST
The moon will get closer and closer to mars and then cover over Mars tonight. As the clouds clear- pop outside and take a look.
The moon will cover over occult Mars
From 9:30 - 10:30 pm ish EDT (times vary with location)
Then Mars will pop back into view above the moon. A special celestial treat! Visible from most of North American continent tonight.

Mars Reappears "on the other side"

​Did you get to see the bright moon tonight? Did you notice the three “stars” underneath the Moon?
The lowest, reddish sky light is Mars. And above are the twin stars of Gemini- Castor & Pollux.
Tonight the moon lies above them in the sky. Tomorrow- we have a powerful celestial alignment- Moon Occults Mars.
The Moon will “eclipse” or block/occults from view the planet Mars. (Seen from certain places on earth)
Here on the east coast USA - the Moon & Mars will rise together around 4:30 pm EST. The moon will get closer and closer to Mars as the night darkens - and then the moon will move right in front of Mars.
The Lunar Occultation of Mars begins around 9 pm and peaks around 10 pm EST and clears around 11 pm , when Mars planetary light will be visible in the sky again.
This alignment - Moon & Mars - is a rare celestial event. Any lunar occultation highlights that celestial body- a sky game of peekaboo that brings our awareness to the planetary or stellar body.
I’ll say more on the energies of this tomorrow as we flow through it. Wanted to give you an “eyes up” for tomorrow night so you can catch this sky treat yourself.

​VENUS & SATURN
In the Western twighlight sky, look for bright diamond Venus - bright, beautiful and easy to see around sunset. As the sky darkens, look above Venus and slightly to the left for Saturn .
These 2 planets will get closer and closer each night as they move into Conjunction Jan 18-20. Beautiful viewing every night this week - so catch it after sunset on a clear night.
Picture below - I took tonight - we had a wonderfully crisp super clear sky.
Saturn became just visible for me around 5:30 pm - Venus is bright and easy to spot . They set together by 8:30 pm ish so catch them in the early evening sky.

Moon “Eclipses” Pleiades
Jan 9, 2025
Lunar Occultation of M45
Moon Passes in front of the Pleiades tonight
Starting around 7 pm EST and completing around 11 pm EST- the Moon passes across the Pleiades Star Cluster (M45)
When the Moon passes in front of the sun, blocking our view from the earth’s surface, we call it an eclipse.
A Lunar Occult is the same eclipse type phenomenon- with a star or a planet.
The path of the Sun (the ecliptic) passes between The Hyades & Pleiades star clusters in the Taurus Constellation. Ancient skywatchers referred to this stargate, this passageway as “The Golden Gateway of rhe Ecliptic”
Most often the Sun, Moon & Planets pass inside of this Golden Gateway. During certain times of the Lunar Cycle - the Moon passes directly in front of the Pleiades.
This Now is one of those special alignment times.
The Pleiades spark within us the light of our Star Essence - our embodiment as light. Many find these stars part of “our Star family” and close to humanity.
The Moon occulting these stars brings a special peek at boo hide and seek focus and awareness.
From my location on earth- Northeast USA- this pass by begins around 7 pm. Moon will cover over Electra, then Merope, Alcyone (three of the seven sister) - then mom & dad stars Atlas & Pleione.
With the moon brightness, it can be hard to see the stars of the Pleiades cluster - and binoculars or telescope really aid the view.
Our clouds just parted here - so I will be braving the frigid winds to catch a glimpse. Seeing with your eyes is just one way to enjoy the energies of this special alignment.
You can tune in vibrationally - from anywhere- under any weather conditions.
What song is the Moon & The Pleiades singing to your soul tonight?
Star Dance. Celestial Celebration.
Eclipse of some of the “Seven Sisters” - dancing with the Moon.
