I am not sure if this post belongs on this thread, however, I've been looking online at the history of these conjunctions from astronomy and astrology sites and realised just how rare these observable and close ones are. I found a table of observable conjunctions from AD 1-3000 with a 6 degree or less arc and thought I would share just out of interest:

March 6 372 at 2 arc
December 31st 431 at 6
March 5 1226 at 5
Dec 21st 2020 at 6
March 15 2080 at 6
August 24 2417 at 5
July 6 2477 at 6
December 25 2874 at 2

The one in 1623 was only observable from the tropics near equatorial regions.

I'm still looking it up, but I came across an article that said in 1226 Genghis Khan swept across the plains of Asia. Not sure if it is accurate but that's all I have found do far in that year. However, that occurred in a different element. The one one in 2020 occurred in Aquarius. I'm not sure which element it occurred in that 1226. The 1623 one was in either water or fire as they changed at the beginning of the 17th century. I'm no expert on this by the way, It is purely found from information on the Internet. I just posted on here incase anyone was interested to know in light of the current conjunction.
