What I am doing for hallowene this year

 

You’ve got to hand it to Jupiter

 As the skies darken in the northern hemisphere we can see more of what’s going on up there.

Look east/south east for this:

Subject to cloud cover, light pollution and currently with the Moon is nearing its partial eclipse with the Sun (Tuesday), it’s glare is out of the way at the moment. Jupiter (in Aires)  is the brightest object in the sky.

This is how can you identify other some other celestial bodies in the sky.

With Jupiter in your sight, hold up your arms with palms up so Jupiter shines between your thumbs.

Approximately three hand spans to your right lies Saturn (in Aquarius). The furthest planet out that can be seen with the naked eye.

Approximately three hand spans to your left lies the constellation/star cluster, Pleiades. AKA The Severn Sisters. This is represented in the Rider Waite Tarot as the Star card bringing hope to the world.

 

Planets you can’t see with the naked eye:

Neptune (in Pisces) is close to Jupiter and will be hiding under your right hand.

Uranus (in Taurus)is in the proximity of the Seven Sisters.

 There’s more to see. If you’re lucky enough to see the meteor showers that cascade in during October, November and into December. Brilliant! Look out for the Orionids now; the Taurids then the Leonids.

Wishing great stargazing fortunes to all.

 Quick update

Jupiter moved into the tail end of Pisces on 28th October. It'll be there for a few weeks.

By rule of thumb (hands really)

The Seven sisters is now approx four hand spans to the left of Jupiter.

AND I have spotted Orion rising above my east facing garden shed.

You can also find the Seven Sisters by moving up from Orion's belt.

So beautiful to behold.
