There are four interesting planetary transits taking place today. The asteroid Vesta made a trine to the asteroid Ceres at 12:47 AM EST. The moon in Scorpio will trine Vesta at 3:08 AM EST. She will conjunct Ceres at 3:10 AM EST. Finally, the moon will trine Saturn Rx at 5:19 AM EST. Adjust the timing to your local time zone.
