The Sun's transit past The Serpent Bearer
I noticed that tomorrow's New Moon will occur in Ophiuchus, the thirteenth constellation of the zodiac, which the Sun entered on December 1. So not only will the Sun and Moon not be conjunct in Sagittarius tomorrow, they will also not be conjunct in Scorpius (the seemingly correct sidereal placement*).

The Sun only ever spends a week in Scorpius. The remaining two-and-a-half weeks until it reaches Sagittarius are spent in Ophiuchus, The Serpent Bearer. So let's revisit what I posted last year about Ophiuchus' place along the ecliptic (a fact that is ignored or unknown by most astrologers, but one that is often cited by astronomers as a way to "debunk" astrology). Allow me to point you down the astronomological middle path.
