If the Lord who made the heavens, and keeps the moon and the stars in their places, has given you a promise, you may be sure that He can make that promise good. What is it that has discouraged you? Is it your empty purse or the business outlook of the times or the rumours of impending war or the misdoing or the lack of your wayward boy or the suspicious looks of those who used to trust you or the sense of your own poor health or a fresh conviction of your lack of mental power? Whatever it is that has made you anxious, "look now toward heaven": there is nothing discouraging in that direction.

The planets are all in the morning skies, with Saturn toward the south, angling left and lower to the much brighter Jupiter, followed by Mars, then the stunning Venus, and very briefly, Mercury sneaking into view, barely visible near the Solstice. The Big Dipper makes its descent into the northwest.
This only happens once every 20 years.īoth the calendar and the skies transition to summer this month, appropriately featuring the Summer Triangle rising in the east - Vega, highest and brightest in the northeast, Deneb nearer the horizon, and Altair to their right, all three wading within the returning Milky Way, climbing higher above the eastern horizon, stretching south to the Scorpion. They will grace the evening skies through the rest of the year.Ī rare view of all five visible planets, in their order of distance from the Sun, along with the waning Crescent Moon. The third member is rising in the east, known as Altair. Deneb is much lower and in the northeast, to Vega’s left. Near 10 o'clock, the brightest star of this trio, Vega, is in the east, about two thirds of the way up from the horizon. New on the scene this month is an old favorite, the Summer Triangle. A clear evening this month will find its “keystone” or “bow-tie” shape directly between the bright star Vega, two thirds of the way up in the sky in the east near midnight, and brilliant orange-white Arcturus, high in the southwestern sky.
