Close Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in Pisces

There will be a very close conjunction of the planets Jupiter (Zedek) and Mars (Adom) between the constellations Pisces (the Two Houses of Israel) and Cetus (the Beast from Sea), in the early morning (about forty-five minutes before sunrise) on May 29. See the charts below from the May 2022 issue of Sky & Telescope, pg. 47.

The chart that is below and to the left, shows the position of the Moon over a period of three days. The main reason I am using these charts out of digital astronomy magazines, is that I do not have my laptop computer up and running and loaded up with my Astronomy programs yet. Besides that, it is much less painful and easier for me to use my Kindle. In case you don’t know, if you click on these charts, it will zoom in and bring the chart to a page with a black background for better and clearer viewing.

The chart to the left below shows the planets Jupiter and Mars between the constellations Pisces and Cetus. Mars is approaching Jupiter here. The planet Venus (Nogah), the Bright and Morning Star, is also in Pisces. The red planet Mars represents Michael, the warrior archangel of Yehovah. The planet Jupiter represents Yehovah. What is portrayed here is, that the planets that represent Yehovah, Yeshua, and Michael are all in the constellation Pisces (Dagim) at the time of this event. The archangel Michael is the guardian of the nation of Israel, and here, is in the constellation that represents both houses of Israel.

The chart below right shows the close conjunction of Jupiter and Mars above the tail of Cetus on May 29. The planets are just 0.6 degrees apart at the peak of the conjunction, as Mars passes below Jupiter to take on the beast below. You will need to get up about an hour before sunrise if you intend on viewing this event.

I made a huge error in the last blog. I hate putting out inaccurate information about celestial events, even though it was unintentional. I believe this is the first time this has happened to me throughout all my video productions and seventeen years of writing newsletters, I have never made such a serious error. I sincerely apologize to all the readers of these blogs.

As mentioned above, I do not have my laptop and astronomy programs running yet. I have to extrapolate the positions of the stars, planets, and the moon for certain events using astronomy magazines. That is what I was doing when looking at the position of the Moon during the eclipse. Using the chart to the right, I saw that the Moon was above, and close to the star Antares on May 16. For some reason I did not realize the chart was showing the position of the moon for 11pm, on the 16th of May, far after the eclipse ended. The moon started going into the eclipse, where it is seen here in the chart, at 11pm, on May 15. The Moon was in the constellation Libra (Mozanaim, the Scales weighing), The Redeemer’s atoning work, or the price deficient balanced by the price that covers, at that time. The Southern Cross is one of the decan constellations to the Sign Libra. After the Moon turned blood red, it entered the head area of the scorpion. Making the eclipse still a notable event.

Another interesting event that was occurring just before and during the eclipse, is that the near-earth Asteroid 388945 2008 TZ3 came to its closest approach to the earth during its current orbit, about two hours before the eclipse began. According to sources, the asteroid was in the constellation Ophiuchus when this occurred. Since I do not have my astronomy programs running yet, I could not look up the path of the asteroid through Ophiuchus at that time. If it traveled down the left leg of Ophiuchus and down through his left heel and then on to the head of the scorpion, I just do not know. Wouldn’t it be something if that did happen.

I received the above information about the asteroid from David and Janice Baca on May 15/16 prior to the eclipse. They also told me that May 15/16 was the second Passover this year. See Numbers 9:6-14 about keeping the second Passover.

I am really thankful for the readers and subscribers to the biblicalastronomy.org website for their insight and discussion in the reply section of the website. Hundreds of heads are better than one in discussing the issues concerned with the content of this website. This is not only my, or Chris’ website, it is your website as well.

The featured image at the top of this blog shows Cetus, the beast from the sea, appears to be standing on the seashore of the Mediterranean Sea as looking west-southwest from Jerusalem, Israel in the early morning of September 27, 1996, at the time of Tabernacles. This chart shows the totally eclipsed moon in a close conjunction with the planet Saturn (Satan) near the tail of Cetus.  That is very close to where Jupiter and Mars will appear when they come into conjunction on May 29. The constellation Cetus will be seen in a different orientation on May 29 than it is seen here on September 27, 1996.

There were other very interesting celestial events occurring that morning as well.  If I remember correctly, these events occurred about 12 hours before the Feast of  Tabernacles began. These events can be seen in the video section of this website.  Just select “Videos” in the menu bar at the top of this page to open the video section.  Then select the fourth video to the right.   The teaching of all the events that were going on thru the night and into the morning starts about 18 minutes into the video. Enjoy the video. Yehovah richly bless you.

Finally, I want to thank those who shared photos of the Total Lunar Eclipse!
