For four mornings the Moon walks below the line of four early-dawn planets. The planets change position a bit from one morning to the next. Venus and Jupiter are 6° apart on the 24th. Venus and Jupiter apart afew degrees from each other on the mornings as they pass through a striking conjunction.

Water and consequently the garden and their fruits have a holy position for them and they believe Pomegranate is a fruit of heaven. total care in consumption and use it until the end particles!
