Well, Jupiter has moved along far enough in it's orbit that the symmetry of the "Y" is broken. It's been moving along through Gemini steadily, and even though it takes Jupiter about 12 years to circumnavigate the ecliptic, a month's span of time is enough to note a drastic change relative to background stars. Mars has really pulled-away and is out of the body of Gemini completely, putting more distance between it and Jupiter every morning.
