Saturn will then continue to move across Gemini, passing in the early part of 1917 under Castor and Pollux, and very near to Neptune--a meeting which, unfortunately, cannot be seen with the naked eye. During this year (1917) he will begin his journey through the smallest of all the constellations of the zodiac, Cancer, passing near the lovely cluster of stars we call the Bee-hive, and will reach Leo early in 1919, where he will remain until about the end of 1921. While in this region he will be visible during the winter and all of the spring and the early summer. All three of these constellations--Gemini, Cancer, and Leo--while seen in the winter, are particularly lovely in the spring. Gemini, in the beautiful evenings of May, hangs with its two splendid stars in the northwest above the setting sun; and with the soft face of Saturn near them, these stars will be more than ever charming in the two seasons that the planet remains with them. In 1917 Saturn will be in opposition in the region of Gemini, about the middle of January. In 1918 opposition will occur about the last of January, and Saturn will then be in Cancer. The next year he will be in opposition sometime during the second week in February, and will then be situated between the Bee-hive, in Cancer, and the brilliant first-magnitude star Regulus, in Leo. The next two oppositions will be in Leo, about thirteen days later each year. Saturn will then pass during the first half of 1922 into Virgo, which is the largest of all the constellations, and he will remain there until three oppositions have taken place, about thirteen days later each year. About a year after passing Spica, the white, sparkling, first-magnitude star in Virgo, Saturn will enter Libra, crossing that constellation near the lower part of the square in it. From there he will go through Scorpio and Sagittarius, passing above Antares and the “milk dipper,” and in about 1932 will have reached that comparatively starless region which includes a part of Sagittarius and all of Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries. For the next nine and a half years he will give distinction to this part of the heavens, and thus complete his circuit of twenty-nine and a half years, and, with never resting, never changing movement, will start on a new round, with a new generation of eyes following his fair face along the great circle of the ecliptic. Saturn is brightest when he is in Taurus, not far from Gemini, as he will be in 1914, and again when he is in Scorpio, as he will be between fourteen and fifteen years later. The recurring times at which we can get an evening view of him at his greatest brightness thus alternate between midwinter and midsummer. He is least bright when he is in the last half of Leo and when he is in that part of Aquarius above Fomalhaut. Between these positions he gradually waxes and wanes in brightness, changes that are largely due to the position of his rings. DISTANCE AND SIZE
