Lynn,
Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo!
Hmm, Just found this on the web:
And that object is the so-called evening star, the planet Venus, which shines so very, very brilliantly and will be with us all through the summer and on into the early fall, dominating our Western sky. And as we progress through the summers - it's going to be very interesting, Ira. We're going to have what I might call a celestial summit meeting. Because Venus is all by herself right now, but come about four or five weeks down the road from now, it's going to be joined by two other planets in the same area of the sky. They'll be much fainter. Venus is by far the brightest of the planets.
But come the early part of August, first week of August, you'll see two other objects close by to Venus. One will be with a yellowish-orange tinge, that will be the planet Mars, and the other, which will have kind of a yellowish-white or cream color, will be the planet Saturn. And you'll have three planets - what is called by some a planetary trio, because we're going to have three of them - kind of scrunched them to a little spot in the sky during the first week of August and should make for a very picturesque scene for anyone who's looking in the Western sky, let's see, about an hour or two after sundown.
In addition to Lynn and I, Gary is also a fellow Leo. So reading the above, Lynn is Venus because she shines brilliantly, Gary is very warlike, so he's Mars, and, as I have a "halo", I'll be Saturn.
