Prayagraj: The forthcoming Magh Mela which will be organised along the Sangam in Prayagraj will be a unique and spiritual event.
Reason: This year, Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degree apart and the world will witness this phenomenon after 397 years. The last time that they both were so close was in 1623. Jupiter and Saturn conjunction takes place every 20 years.
Noted Prayagraj-based astrologer Amitabh Gour said, “Before the Sun enters Capricorn on January 14, 2021 and the Magh Mela starts, a very unique celestial event will be occurring in the solar system. Jupiter will be changing sign on December 21and will enter Capricorn, where it will meet the ringed planet Saturn. The two will form a conjunction till April 4, 2021. Interestingly, the sun will also accompany this great conjunction from January 14, 2021.”
