i saw a tiny blurb on the news yesterday saying that 5 of the planets were getting ready to be lined up in the sky. let's see, it was mars, venus, saturn, jupiter and mercury i think. said it's not going to happen again for about 100 yrs.
this seems pretty significant.
does anyone know any more about when it happens and what energy it is bringing?
love, light and hope, New River
I think it would be interesting to find out what would happen if ALL the planets lined up.... What do you think?

the 5 planets won't actually be lining up, but clumping. meaning they will all appear very close together. i believe it will start about the 20th of this month (april). i wrote the peak day on my calender as may 4. they should all be visible to the naked eye in rural areas and with binoculars in brighter areas.
very interesting... in what house are they gathering? I wish I had a telescope!

January,
You won’t need a telescope to see these planets. Here is a web site that will show you where in the sky to look and approximately what you will see.

If you have a pair of binoculars and are away from city lights, there is a comet right now that isn’t too far from Mars. The tail of the comet appears to be pointing almost straight up. This comet, Comet Ikeya-Zhang, is moving closer to the sun and will soon be too close to the sun to see. Once it gets on the other side of the sun it will be visible in the morning sky instead of the evening.

Thanks Raeanne, I'm printing out the star maps on the link. I do have a telescope but it's not a very good one! Will try to view this anyhow. Besides , I think you can see all these planets with the naked eye. It looks beautiful even on the star maps!
Didn't the planets line up back in 1993 also?

This is more of an astronomical event, rather than an astrological one because the planets are not all in one sign. Most are in Gemini, but Jupiter is in Cancer, however, close to each other in the sky.
We had a seven planet lineup in Capricorn, I think in January of '93 (all the babies born on those days have seven Cap planets...Wow, lots of little CEO's running around). In November, 1995 we had a five or six planet lineup in Sagittarius.
The end of April into May, Gemini will dominate the ethers and lots of "hot air" will be circulating.

See, A.G., these are just the kind of things that help me soooo much: by the end of april, first of may, a lot of hot air will be circulating......
i find info like this invaluable when it comes to making plans and commitments.
i had heard about this comet too. wasn't able to see it as our skies have been so cloudy lately. but the first thing it made me notice was all the unrest in the mideast now. all the fighting going on.
when the native americans saw a comet in the sky they got all freaked out. i think it was an omen of war to them. does anyone know more about this???

tecumseh, was born under a comet, in what is now indiana!

New River,
You make me laugh!
Hot air is a signature of Gemini (but you don't read that in astrology books!)
Hello,
besides the uplining end of April, there will be a perfect triangle of Mars, Venus and Saturn on 5th of May.

The other night I took a star chart that I printed off of the internet , of the planetary line up, and went outside , facing southwest. We got our telescope out , but the old thing doesn't work! (It was a gift from someone who meant well, but I think it sat in their basement for 20 yrs! It did however attract our drunken neighbors who thought they may see something through it!)Someday I'll get a new telescope!
Anyhow, I could see it all without the telescope, venus, mars, saturn and jupiter (Mercury is too close to the horizon plus we have the mountains to the west so you can't see it unless perhaps you look toward the sunset at just the right time)
I also found the pleiadies which normally is close to impossible. Then we located the stars Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, and Rigel surrounding orion's belt. It was beautiful even to the naked eye.

At the moment Jupiter is in Cancer, Mars and Saturn are in Gemini and Mercury and Venus are in Taurus by 4th May Mercury and Venus will also have moved into Gemini and Venus, Saturn and Mars will be fairly close - around 4 degrees separation and Mercury another 5 or 6 degrees away but Jupiter will obstinately remain in Cancer.
If we allow an 8 degree orb for Conjunctions Mercury will be in Conjunction with Venus which in turn will be in conjunction with both Mars and Saturn, so its legitimate to stretch this to a four way conjunction. As Mars Saturn and Venus are also in opposition to Pluto (again allowing an 8 degree orb) the situation does have some Astrological significance. What that significance is depends on whether we are considering an individual born during this period, or doing horary, electional or mundane charts - The question should be significant for whom?
Incidentally House positions are only relevant if we are doing a chart for a specific birth, horary question, etc.

This will happen 12-21-2012.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I saw an interesting show quite a while ago.
They made mention of this because a few psychics
have made predictions for this date.
the show took a look at astology and also mentioned that the Mayan calandar ENDS on this date.
ALSO May 4th and 5th of 2000, sun, moon, merc, venus, mars, jup, and saturn were all in Taurus. not sure how lined up they were.
