A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year when the Sun's apparent position in the sky reaches its northernmost or southernmost extremes. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction.
There will be a total lunar eclipse entirely visible from North America on the night of 2010 DEC 20/21. Observers in the UK will only witness the opening phases of the eclipse including entry into totality before the Moon sets. Australians can see the final partial and penumbral stages after moonrise.
During the eclipse some lucky observers will be treated to occultations of the asteroid 348 May and/or the open cluster NGC 2129. These occultations will require those watching to have telescopes. The asteroid has a magnitude of +12.9. The open cluster is 2.5 arcminutes in diameter with a combined magnitude of +6.7.
sounds like a good night to perform magick rituals. anyone planning on doing anything like this?

But really...I honestly dont know how a planet can feel 'cranky' lol..I dont know how a planet being in one 'sign' can really be any different than a planet being in another 'sign'. I just dont know. I guess I havent researched it enough..but it just doesnt seem possible to me.

Well, if I looked at it that way, it wouldn't seem possible to me either.
