On this night, a rare planetary alignment will grace the evening sky just after sunset. Looking towards the west, visible planets once the sun has set, will be Saturn, Moon, Mercury, *Neptune, and Venus, forming a celestial arc stretching from Pisces to Cancer.

While Saturn and the thin crescent of the waning Moon (not pictured here) may be difficult to spot due to the Sun’s lingering glow, Venus and Mercury should be visible to the naked eye. As night deepens, Jupiter and Mars will also come into view, adding to the cosmic display. Though Neptune and Uranus are part of this alignment, they will require a strong telescope to observe. This alignment creates a striking celestial symphony—an elegant dance of planets across the twilight sky.

Viewing tip: For the best experience, find a dark location away from city lights and use binoculars or a telescope for a clearer view.

Pisces: Hidden Knowledge and Water Symbolism

Pisces has everything to do with water, with religion and also those things which have been kept hidden, either under the water,

or here on earth. "Unearthing of hidden things" might be the key phrase to bear in mind.

Planetary alignments and natural disasters

A Mercury-Saturn conjunction all too often coincides with the development of severe weather-related events, such as cyclones, tornadoes and other storms that can cause flooding. This alignment takes place just after the new Moon at 9 degrees Pisces, the day before, which is all too often a time when a developing situation related to weather develops.
