It is kinda cool. Keep in mind that Sept 6th is also Rosh Hashanah The Jewish new year. This configuration of the constelation Virgo and new moon occurs every year. The new moon (the moon between the sun and earth-no reflected light from the sun) marks the begining of a month, The constelation this occurs in marks which month of the jewish year.

I've been looking out my western sky and I see two planets getting closer together. I believe one to be Venus, but search me what the other is.
