Like they do approximately every 20 years, Jupiter and Saturn will come together in conjunction on 21 December 2020, the Winter Solstice; importantly, however, the planets will appear closer together in the night sky this year than they have in nearly 800 years, forming what some are calling a "Christmas Star."

Channeling aspects of Christian and Roman mythology as well as astrology, "Christmas Star" offers a prayer to the rulers of Sagittarius and Capricorn. Ancient Romans worshipped Jupiter as harbinger of luck, health, wealth, and protection; they believed that Saturn could alter one's destiny and bring dedication, balance, and virtue with a pragmatism and realism that sees the necessity of anxiety. Celebrating this tradition, "Christmas Star" calls upon the gods to deliver peace and rest during a time of uncertainty and tumult.

Recorded in December 2020 at the Cats' Room.

Mixed in December 2020 at the Cats' Room.

We extend our deepest gratitude and are forever indebted to MP for allowing us into her home to record. We would also like to thank her for recording the "Christmas Star" promotional video.
