Planets Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars align every morning through May 13. You can catch a glimpse of the lovely quartet lying low close to the horizon if you're in the Northern Hemisphere eastbound about 30 minutes before sunrise. So whip out your binocular to see this lovely sight.

Pleiades
The Pleiades star cluster will make an appearance in the Northern skies tonight above the smiling crescent Moon. The Pleiades consists of 7 stars,often referred to as the "Seven Sisters", however only 6 are visible to the naked eye. Recent day observations show that this open star cluster is actually made up of several hundred stars intertwined in an elaborate composition of dreamy-like nebulosity.

Myth and legend surround this star cluster in almost every culture on the planet. Interestingly, most of them consist of the cluster being seven sisters. We see this in Greek mythology and Native American legend.

Also termed as the "Seed Stars", the movement of the stars of the Pleiades marks the beginning of farming season and many civilizations utilized it as an agriculture calendar. The Great Pyramid at Giza, the temple at Teotihuacan in Mexico and many other temples, stone circles and rock formations in other places around the world have been built in alignment with the Pleiades.

Universal Perception
Universal Perception by Infinite Style
This is a actual dream that I had and my attempt to visually recreate it. The dream was that a friend and I were in a football stadium looking up at the night sky. Suddenly the planets were visible and the Universe was shifting around in the sky. It was so visually stunning to see the stars and planets dance in the sky.

Walking in the Rain
It's raining outside...the rain hitting me on my head helps to clear my thoughts...
I want to go outside... in the rain
It may sound crazy
But I want to go outside... in the rain

Moon at the Window
Look up into the sky tonight for the full moon, which coincides with perigee, the point at which the moon is closest in its orbit to Earth coined "Supermoon". The last time the moon was this close to the Earth was 18 years ago, March 1993 to be exact. The moon will be bigger and brighter than usual. Great night to take a moonlit stroll in the city.
I wish her heart
I know these battles
Deep in the dark
When the spooks of memories rattle
Ghosts of the future
Phantoms of the past
Rattle, rattle, rattle
In the spoon and the glass
Is it possible to learn
How to care and yet not care--
Since love has two faces
Hope and despair
And pleasure always turns to fear
I find
