StarWalk Astronomy News:
Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter Align
The planetary alignment in November 2026 brings Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter together before sunrise during November 13–22. This four-planet parade is best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. November 14 is a good date to see the planets in a relatively compact arrangement, while November 20–22 offers better conditions for spotting Mercury. All four planets are bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, although Mercury will be tricky to find.
Mercury turned Direct on Friday, November 13, 2026. The fast-moving planet of Communication is covering old territory again after retrograde motion. Venus turns direct tonight, November 14, 2026 with the power of Love to regain lost ground. Mars, the planet of war stokes the fires of passion. Jupiter added some good luck to Friday the 13th and beyond. With Mercury hard-to-see, we may have to look more closely to see the Truth. Sometimes “good luck” comes in disguise.
On Friday the 13th air traffic came to a full-stop in the USA, blaming technical issues with tracking systems. It may have looked like “bad luck” if you were stuck in an airport. Though, the Truth may have been “good luck” in disguise.
There is a Divine Meaning and Purpose for everything under the Sun. The Sun holds everything in the solar system in its perfect place. Give thanks for the Blessings that shall be revealed in God’s Time.
Best Dates to Watch
According to StarWalk, this morning was the first best-time to see the Parade. But, at least the heads-up prepares us for the best possible view on November 20, 2026, when Mercury will be shining as clear as a bell.
The November 20, 2026 will also offer the best views in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
November 15–16, 2026: Mars–Jupiter conjunction during the planetary alignment
One of the highlights of the November 2026 planetary alignment is the Mars–Jupiter conjunction on November 15, at 02:42 UTC (November 14, 2026, 8:42 PM CST). The two planets will appear just 1°14′ apart. Their closest approach occurs on November 16 at 02:04 UTC (November 15 at 8:04 PM CST), when the separation shrinks to 1°11′ — roughly the width of your little finger held at arm’s length.

The alignment doesn’t mean the 4 planets will reside in a straight line. The Truth is not always what it “appears to be”.
Look for Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter before sunrise during November 13–22, 2026. November 14 offers a narrower horizontal arrangement in most of the listed cities, while around November 20–22, Mercury stands higher and is easier to spot. For the closest Mars–Jupiter pairing, observe around November 15–16. Choose a clear morning and an unobstructed horizon.
Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
10 Wisdom/CIB marks the Intention of a Manifestation of Divine Wisdom. We can’t “conjure” the Truth. Only God knows. But we can open the door to understanding. Forgiveness is the Key to the Kingdom.
John 14:20 NIV
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.
It’s not a sin to hate evil. God hates it too. We can still love one another when we remember our war is not with another human being, but with the principalities of evil that have created a stronghold. (Revelation 2 details the evil that God hates.)
Revelation 2:6 NIV
6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
(The church of Nicolaitans seated their “elite members” in the front pew. The widows and the poor were seated in the back. In spite of their evil intentions, members were still aligned by Divine Order. The proud were the first who need saving. Pray for your enemies first. Then give thanks for the Humble who are already saved.)

It only takes 13 days to see how Faith is always raised to Knowing the Truth of Answered Prayers. You only have to track your thoughts. Record the matters on your mind to see how your perspective is changed by a Divine Order of Time.

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 10: Manifestation. What were once intentions or ideas, hopes or fears become physically present with the energy of Ten. What is focused upon with attention and intention becomes real with Ten. Ten is a powerful energy that carries a great responsibility.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valiant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons.
A GOOD DAY TO: Sit on a rock.
Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’ : Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes. Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritative. Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.
