On June 3, there will be a rare alignment of six out of nine planets visible in the Northern Hemisphere. The parade of planets includes Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The viewing window is short, beginning 20 minutes before sunrise while facing east. This phenomenon can be seen best from dark sky communities far away from light pollution.
The visibility of all the planets in the alignment will vary, with Mars and Saturn being the easiest to spot with the naked eye. Mercury and Jupiter will be slightly visible, while Uranus and Neptune will require binoculars or a telescope. Unlike previous alignments captured by the Voyager spacecraft, the planets on June 3 will be scattered across the sky at different depths and distances.
If you miss the chance to see the cosmic event on June 3, there will be opportunities to spot the planets a few days before or after. Another alignment of six planets is expected in August 2024 during Virgo season. Astrologically, each planet will be present in a different zodiac sign, affecting each sign uniquely. Mars will be in Aries, Uranus in Taurus, Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini, and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces.
During this alignment, those born under the sign of Gemini will experience an extra boost in communication abilities. It is advised to focus on positive communication and avoid negativity. Pisces individuals, with the sun, Neptune, and Saturn in their sign, may need to differentiate between dreams and reality. They are encouraged to dream big but remain practical in their endeavors.
