Lots of people think a conjunction means no separation between the visible discs (a partial eclipse) which only happens with Saturn and Jupiter at intervals of tens of thousands of years.

It's a conjunction of two different gods from two different mythologies that are are confusingly the same.
Saturn is the Roman version of the Greek Titan Cronus who was the father of the Gods but didn't want kids so he'd swallow them all as they were born, but the wife of Cronus loved her children and switched the first with a large rock then kept him in a secret place to be raised as Zeus, who ultimately defeated his father and freed his brothers and sisters, Zeus in Roman is Jupiter.
So from an astrological vantage point it's like misogynistic overload, double the toxic masculinity, just as the world faces the Trump toxic masculinity as well as toxic masculine movements all over the world. An unfortunate coincidence that many will take as evidence.
After all it's one hell of a coincidence.

So wonderful. No telescope for me or anything, but I did get to go look at it from the reservoir with the naked eye.
