(Picture: Jupiter and Saturn a week ago, preparing for their conjunction)
The Solstice will take place on Monday, December 21st, 10:02 GMT. That is 10:02 am UK , 5:02 am NY, and please check for your local time accordingly. It solstice exact occurs world-wide at the same instance.
The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be seen at the same day, dusk, wherever you are in the world. If weather allows it you should see Jupiter and Saturn shine as one bright star just before and after sunset at the west. They will both set after an hour or two so be sure to watch as night falls.
It is really important to go through this time with as much awareness as possible to what is taking place, its significance and meaning.
So please take a cup of tea/coffee/eggnog and join Gafnit Salvi and myself he as we talk about this rare conjunction exactly at the solstice, in the grander context of 2020 and the transition into 2021 :
