The long awaited Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs today, on the winter solstice.
What are the odds of that?
I'll go with 1/365.24

It depends on how you look at it.
The way I phrased it lends itself to the odds you posted.
However...
Ted: Today is the winter solstice!
Judy: How nice! What are the odds a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction will occur today?
Ted: 1/365.24, because Dins said so!
Judy: ...

The fact that there hasn’t been a conjunction this close for something like 800 years probably increases the odds somewhat.

Actually the fact that it’s happening right now makes the odds something like 100%.

If you throw in the fact that the Ursid meteor shower is peaking tonight, then you have a fairly unusual celestial triple combination.

Set up the scope out here in the Valley of the Sun and checked it out. Pretty cool.
