THE GREAT Planetary Alignment of 2025
FROM TODAY ONWARDS till early Feb we will be able to see the most planets present in the night sky, a "planet parade"
25 Jan will be the best time to start an hour after sunset:
West: Saturn and Venus will be hanging low & close to each other
East: Jupiter is seen in Taurus near the bull's eye (aldebaran). Mars will be in Gemini. Uranus is there too but cannot be seen unless with a telescope Mercury joins in by the end of February 25-26:
You will be able to catch a glimpse of Mercury (very close to Saturn) but this can be quite tricky because it happens as soon as the sun is setting. It will also be very close to the western horizon.
Six planets are above the horizon after sunset around Feb 28, 2026. Start 30–60 min after sunset; low western horizon. Four of the six plane
A planetary parade will be visible on February 28, 2026 🌌
(look West, approximately 30 minutes after sunset)

Planet Parade over Sydney Opera House
The featured image shows four planets lined up behind the Sydney Opera House in Australia. The image was taken one morning in April 2022, just before sunrise.

Explanation: Look up this week and see a whole bunch of planets. Just after sunset, looking west (mostly), planets Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter will all be visible to the unaided eye simultaneously. If you have a telescope, planets Uranus and Neptune can also be seen. In order up from the horizon, the lineup this week will be Venus (the brightest), Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter (second brightest). It doesn't matter where on Earth you live because this early evening planet parade will be visible through clear skies all around the globe. The planets will appear to be nearly in a line because they all orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane: the ecliptic. The featured image shows a similar planet parade that occurred in 2022, captured over the Sydney Opera House in southern Australia. Although visible all week, the planets will be most easily seen together this weekend.

Pile 1: Lily of the Valley
Crystals: Amethyst, Pearl, Citrine
Greetings Pile Lily of the Valley, you have been stuck on analysis paralysis for a while. It shows that you are unsure if you have the capabilities or attribute to work on a project, to join a team, make friends, or enter a relationship, etc. The Universe is asking you to let go of the worries and unworthiness to move forward. Know that you are very capable and intuitive so do not let the over-thinking cloud you. This planetary alignment is going to help you drop the negative mind chattering and the conditionings making you doubt and see yourself small. You are coming into trust of yourself and realizing how worthy and great your soul is. You will be steering the ship with wonder and confidence. The change coming forward to you is personal empowerment, this strong and firm foundation knowing who you are. You will finally make the first step toward this thing in your mind. Projects and ideas finally will have progress when you trust in yourself, in your intuitiveness and intellect.
---------------------------------------
Pile 2: Willow
Crystals: Pyrite, Blue Calcite, Tiger's Eye
Hello, feathers from the Willow pile! You have been working on a passion project steadily. The Universe is cheering you up and telling you that this is the right path. For the majority of the this group, the only distraction is your own mind. Thoughts that "what if it doesn't work out," "have I done something wrong," "maybe it needs to be perfected more..." etc are the biggest energy drainer. For a small group of people within this pile, it could be someone who's nagging or opposing against you simply because they could or because of their outdated beliefs. Whatever the case is, the Universe wants you to be still in the mind, don't interact and give energy to these negative talks. You are on the right path, keep having fun and rejoicing every success whether big or small. After the planetary alignment, you will be coming back to your power knowing your worth and path fully. You will also be given a leadership role. It can be a promotion in a job, starting to share your story, knowledge, and work on social media, or simply stepping into leadership of your life. The world is your oyster when you know who you are. I see you will be utilizing this quality very well after the planetary alignment to create your life and continue on with the goal at hand.
---------------------------------------
Pile 3: Oak
Crystals: Lemon Quartz, Orange Calcite, Rose Quartz
Hello, the feathers from pile oak. The first thing they want to say is that you have the potential to become an Oak tree that everyone admires and looks shade for, so does your project. It is steering toward a good direction. You are capable of great things. However, there are people around giving out confusing and sometimes, counter-productive advices and help. They are great and kind-hearted people, such as your friends, families, loved ones, but they are not experts in this field. You know the best what to do and how you want to do it, so be confident in yourself! I feel you can discern good supports from bad ones in your mind, but it is the lack of saying no to people causing you uneasiness and conflicts even. The Universe wants you to know it is okay to point out what's flawed even though it comes from someone you loved. They love you. They will respect your decisions. You are advised to tune into how you feel and think to see the clear picture. By doing so, you will know clearly your steps toward making this project or goal come true, instead of mingling with those who don't necessarily know what they are talking about. This planetary alignment will help you be emotionally mature to reject people in a compassionate way. You have the Oak spirit in you, be firm and determined in this endeavor.
---------------------------------------
Pile 4: Chickweed
Crystals: Merlinite (dendritic opal), Apatite, Hematite
Hello, the feathers from pile chickweed. You are celebrated by the Universe! Your soul and Spirit Team are very delighted what you have overcame, an intense karmic learning. You finally let go of a toxic situation, environment, or even a person. The storm and chaos has passed. Not only you know your worth, but also the Universe is lining up rewards one after another for you. I see the prizes are both physical and energetic. Kind and loving people are coming into your life. Great opportunities occur. Inspirations emerge easily. The road forward is glorious and joyful. One of the greatest rewards is your confidence and empowerment. You know what you want in life, the qualities of people, a lifestyle you desire, where you want to be. And the best of all, you know you CAN achieve it. The passed trial allowed you to learn how to turn tides and manifest all that you desire. It is a very auspicious era after the Planetary Alignment for you. Great job feather of the chickweed pile! Remember to celebrate and have fun.

That is the reading for you, thank you for your presence. I will see you next fearthers~ Sending you lots of love and light.
Spiritual Synchronicities or Wishful Thinking? ✨🔮
Is the Universe speaking to you, or are you just seeing what you want to see?
A song plays at the perfect moment. You keep seeing the same number everywhere. A dream mirrors reality too closely to ignore. Coincidence? Or something more?
With Neptune conjunct the North Node, the veil between intuition and illusion is thin. Signs feel stronger, but so does the risk of misinterpreting them. Mercury conjunct Saturn asks: 👉 Is this truly a message, or am I crafting a narrative to avoid the truth?
🔹 Synchronicity pushes you forward. Wishful thinking keeps you stuck. 🔹 True signs repeat unexpectedly. Wishful thinking requires searching. 🔹 Synchronicity leads to growth. Wishful thinking keeps you in cycles.
With seven planets aligning, the energy is loud, but are you truly listening?
Not every number, song, or dream is a sign. Some are. The difference? True messages shift you, not just soothe you.
Trust intuition. Stay grounded in wisdom. Let synchronicities guide, but don’t let illusions lead.

In 2025, a rare celestial event called Planet Parade will occur from January 21 to 29, where Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune align in the night sky. This alignment offers a unique viewing opportunity for astronomers and stargazers.
I captured the entire “Planetary Parade” using my 11” telescope, and combined everything into one composite photo that stayed true to the angular scale of these objects.
Made entirely with real photos, I hope this composite helps illustrate the scale of these things!
Usually I don’t release work with planets in print because the planets themselves are so small-so this is a rare opportunity to get them in print. You can find the “Planetary Parade” in different crops/sizes up to 5 feet tall at the link in my bio.
In their current order in the sky (actual angle will vary based on latitude and observing time) Starting from the sun: Saturn Venus Neptune Uranus Jupiter Mars
The comet is the G3 Atlas comet there is also a comet visible in the Southern Hemisphere (although it just broke up)
