Celestially, the time period between December 13th and December 21st promises to be one of the most interesting and jam-packed of the entire year. The events taking place bring good luck and will have global reach. Do take the time to look up, there’s going to be plenty to see!
It begins Sunday and Monday, December 13 and 14, with the peak of The Geminids meteor shower, so named because the meteors appear to come from within the Gemini constellation.
