Did something change yesterday? Capricorn has gone and Aquarius has arrived. I can’t see any difference in the night sky myself. The old astronomical symbol represents water – like waves. The constellation was familiar to many past civilisations. They all “saw” water – or perhaps a bussa. Perhaps floods came with it. Stars are not as bright as the moon and the stars in Aquarius are not the brightest in the night sky. However, they are interesting, because twelve of them have planets (probably).
