Moon, Venus & Jupiter Conjunction: A Stunning Night Sky Event

I have been tweeting about the glorious Moon, Venus, Jupiter conjunction in the night skies all week. It’s been so jaw-droppingly amazing in the Surrey skies, I decided it was worthy of a blog. Here’s a wonderful photo not taken by me but by a German photographer, Dirk Essl, on March 25 2012, showing Venus top left and the Moon close to Jupiter. You can take a look at all Dirk’s photos at his website by clicking here.

A poem to honour the Moon Venus Jupiter conjunction in Taurus:

Let us fall in love again

and scatter gold dust all over the world.

Let us become a new spring

and feel the breeze drift in the heavens’ scent

Let us dress the earth in green,

and like the sap of a young tree

let the grace from within sustain us.

Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts

and let them light our path to Love.

The glance of Love is crystal clear

and we are blessed by its light.

Rumi
