Two degrees of separation
If you are into astrology, the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the constellation of Pisces is described as a time of hot and steamy sexual liasons -or- it will bring out marital strife. Just depends on which astrologer you choose to believe (though I suppose one could lead to the other). If you are into astronomy the conjunction is one of those phenomena where you don't have a lot of instructions on how to find it. Look low in the western sky for two very bright 'stars' close to each other. They only stay up for about an hour after sunset so catch them early in the evening. Right now the planet Venus is the upper and brighter one (-3.9). Jupiter at the moment is on the other side of the solar system so, while it is physically much larger than Venus, it is also 7 times further from the sun.
