Ecclesiastical council; astrological conjunction of planets (5)

I believe the answer is:

synod

(Other definitions for synod that I've seen before include "group of clergymen" , "cloth gathered here" , "Ecclesiastical assembly" , "Council of clergy to discuss policy" , "Clerical assembly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
