The waning crescent moon was below Saturn and Virgo's Spica this morning and will continue to slide closer to Mercury over the next couple of morning. Jupiter reigns in the southeast on the Aries/Virgo boundary after sunset and Venus, in Capricorn, continues to climb higher in the west each day as it rules the winter as the evening star. Mars rises about 11pm and will ride through the night with Leo.
Earth will reach it's December solstice at 12:30 EST on the 22nd and kick off the winter in the northern hemisphere and summer south of the equator. The moon is new at 1:06pm on xmas eve. A thin waxing crescent will hang with Venus on the 26th and should be lovely but...
All these sky events will likely by obscured by clouds over the next several days here in the mid-Atlantic but you never know when you'll get a peak at the sky. It might be clear by next Monday.
