Sky phenomenon just before dawn this morning: the 2nd-brightest star, Regulus, "the heart of the Lion" in the constellation Leo, partnered up for a good long while with the brilliant planet Venus (top), the morning star right now. I don't know what this may mean to the astrologers, but it has to be good, something about love and nobility of heart. While I was outside taking this photo, the local buck came out of the woods into the meadow and snorted at me. I was on his property, after all.

Venus Conjunct Regulus

Venus has been beautiful on many a morning this month. I'm always amazed where I see it through the year.
