... On May 10, the planets Mars and Venus will appear to pass so close to one another that, to the naked eye, the Roman God of War and the Roman Goddess of Love will become one.
Well, my source says about 1/3 degree of separation. How good are your eyes?
Earlier, on May 5, something even more spectacular will happen. The bright planets Mars, Saturn and Venus will group together to form a perfect equilateral triangle in the western sky. ...
My source says "nearly" equilateral.
Oddly enough, more than 2,000 years ago, this same grouping of planets may have caught the attention of the Biblical Magi. On April 1, 2 B.C., the planets Mars, Saturn and Venus came together to form a perfect equilateral triangle over the city of Bethlehem.
I can't find any independent confirmation of this. There was a close conjunction of
Jupiter, Saturn and Mars in 6 BCE. And a triple (three times) conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, including one that included Mars, in 7 BCE; these latter are usually considered the "Star of Bethlehem" as Jupiter is the ruler of kings and Saturn is the ruler of the Jews, and the conjunctions occured in Pisces, the royal constellation. However, the Babylonian astronomers/astrologers took no special notice of the three planet alignment.
