I know you don't have a smart phone. I'm still trying to figure out how to use mine although I've had it long enough. Because the map changes daily I am able to see Jupiter move to the west (retrograde). One of the things I noticed using it is that the sun is still in Aquarius but astrologically we are supposed to be in Pisces. I realize this is due to the Precession of the Equinoxes, but I didn't really understand (and probably still don't) what that meant until just recently. With so much stuff spinning around it is hard to know which direction is prograde and which is retrograde or "precessing". I expect the sky to move from east to west because my limited experience only sees the diurnal motion, but planets move from west to east across the sky.
One of the things I am trying to make sense out of, which I know is not of great astronomical importance, are these lyrics by James Rado and Jerome Ragni from the Hair musical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquariu...he_Sunshine_In
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
I understand the alignment part. The planets are in conjunction. But what is this moon being in the seventh house?
The lenticular clouds do look like ufos although what they remind me of are the clouds on Jupiter that seem to flow in lines across the planet. I don't know how clouds can do something like that on Jupiter nor how clouds can move like those lenticular examples on earth.
