What is a planetary alignment?
A planetary alignment is a visual event where several planets, as seen from Earth, appear to line up or gather in a small part of the sky. While this sight is impressive, it's important to note that the planets are not actually aligned in space.
Their orbits, which are on different planes, simply create the illusion of alignment when they are on the same side of the Sun from our terrestrial point of view.
Can we see this alignment in the sky?
For naked-eye observers, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be visible without special equipment. However, to spot Uranus and Neptune, you'll need a telescope. This will be a great opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts to bring out their instruments and appreciate the complexity of our solar system.

What about astrology?
It's common to find alarming theories related to planetary alignments, such as predictions of natural disasters. In the past, people have talked about earthquakes, tsunamis, and other possible catastrophes, but none of these have any scientific correlation with such events. Modern astrology also does not attribute any particular significance to them.
It's also important not to confuse constellations with astrological signs. For example, during this alignment, although Saturn is located in the constellation Aquarius, it is astrologically in the sign of Pisces.
Constellations are groups of stars, while astrological signs are based on seasonal positions.
