Two Days and Thousands of Years!
.

The month of February can be short
Or long. Twenty eight or Twenty nine
Days, how can you go wrong. This
Year the month had something to say.
Yes, it was within two days if we add
Way back when, when recording conjunctions
Had just began. We saw many things
In the sky. The Chinese had keen eyes.
Applying then to now many years have passed! On February
Twenty eighth of this year a great gathering
We did cheer. Six planets were seen in
The sky, some two days earlier back in
1953 BC five planets were observed within
The sky. The Chinese were watching the
Sky several thousand years ago, oh my!
We know that conjunctions are something
To see. They saw a great one with all five visible
Planets within 4 degrees. In 2026 only
Two of the six were in conjunction you know!
Be it planets coming together or
Something else it tells us why? Why we
Have noticed the wandering stars! Yes,
Just like the great conjunction of Jupiter,
Saturn and the moon back in 2020 you
Saw. Just before the closest approach
Between those two planets did occur. Planets,
Stars and the moon all interact you see.
From that time many grouping have taken
Place you see!
