  According to the pseudoscience of astrology the Sun enters the constellation of Scorpio the Scorpion on Wednesday October 23rd. When in fact the actual position of the Sun is still within the boundaries of the constellation of Virgo the Harvest Maiden.
   Before the Sun rises on Wednesday morning watch for the 24-day old waning crescent Moon to be 4-5o from the ‘heart’ of Leo the lion, the star Regulus.

   Read a little more about how astrology has the Sun incorrectly placed in a previous blog, and in another blog discussing the effects of precession.

   Thursday morning September 26th, before the Sun rises, watch for a thin 27-day old waning crescent Moon to be about 2-3o from the ‘heart of Leo the lion, the star Regulus.

   Both Regulus and the Moon will easily fit within the field of view of binoculars, and the pair should make an interesting comparison of apparent magnitudes. The waning crescent Moon with a -10.0 apparent magnitude and Regulus with 1.34 apparent magnitude.
