Dec. 6, New Moon conjunction with Antares! Cool!
It will be very cool visually in the sky. OTOH there isn't an astrological connection. Fixed stars have an orb of not much (if any) past 1°. This New Moon at 20°07' Scorpio is 5° from Antares.
What is likely to be of greatest interest in that New Moon is the 0°11' Mars-Neptune conjunction, which is les than 2° from square Sun-Moon. This will be a good test of the power of the New Moon chart (which have always seemed to me reliable - certainly something I'd use if I didn't have the vastly more powerful Sidereal ingresses). The Mars-Neptune (and, usually, also Moon-Sun will be on angles in the following places:
* Southern California (sigh... more fires... maybe more border crossing conflict).
* A line from eastern Washington and Oregon, the heart of Nevada, to Southern California.
* Another line almost exactly the Nevada-Utah border and due north-south, with New-Moon intersecting in western Arizona
* India-Pakistan border (more or less)
* Pakistan-Afghanistan and parts north, e.g., Kazakhstan
* Solomon Islands (eastern end of Indonesia group)
* Across western Europe, especially through Spain, France, northern Germany; with Saturn intersecting Mars-Neptune in central France
* Japan
