Hey Jenn,

Oooohhh, a mystery Eh?  Plugging in that date into Guide 7.0 gives me some
warning that I am entering a Gregorian date that is before the start of the
Gregorian calendar, but will show the sky on that date anyway.  Any way, the
only thing that I can see with the planets are that Mars, Venus and Mercury
form a straight line, but not evenly spaced, in Aquarius and Pisces.  Also,
in Gemini, the moon (6.54 Days old) and Saturn are near one another, which
may have had an occultation in a different part of the world.  The "unseen"
planets are also nearby these other groupings.  What have you gotten
yourself into?  I'd love to hear what the significance for this date!
