Answer:

November 2040

Jupiter, which is the larger planet, takes 12 years to revolve around the sun, while Saturn takes 29 years. Every 20 years or so, they appear to observers on Earth to come closer to each other. The next Great Conjunction between the two planets – although not nearly as close together – is due in November 2040.
