Just what I always wanted: a lovely yet ‘elusive’ meteor shower for my birthday tomorrow!<\/em><\/p>\n

FIRST METEOR SHOWER OF 2012: The annual Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on Wednesday morning, Jan. 4th, when Earth passes through a narrow stream of debris from a comet thought to have broken apart some 500 years ago<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The shower is expected to be strong (as many as 100 meteors per hour), but elusive, with a peak that lasts no longer than a couple of hours. The shower’s radiant near Polaris<\/strong> favors observers in the northern hemisphere. <\/p>\n

Images, live audio from a meteor radar, and more information are available on today’s edition of SpaceWeather News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glad to say I’m not quite feeling 500 years old for this annual personal event–the Sun returns to natal position in my horoscope on Jan 4, 2012 around 5:30 am est!<\/p>\n

And Polaris<\/strong>. Ah yes, path finding pioneer Polaris, our ‘Pole Star’ or ‘North Star’ by which we find our way…aka, Alpha Ursa Minor<\/em> (Little Bear) and to which Astrology assigns a theme of ‘an emotional or nurturing mission’.<\/p>\n

As described in Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars<\/em>, “Polaris is always at culmination as it is the point of stillness<\/em>, the celestial pole.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that’s what I’ll be pondering in the crisp, still morning air if I should manage to shuffle my bunny slippers outside around 5 am tomorrow and look up…<\/p>\n
