A rare planetary parade is happening TONIGHT where six planets in our solar system appear to stretch across the sky in a gentle arc just after sunset.
The best viewing window for Norfolk & Virginia Beach is about 30 to 60 minutes after sunset around 6:30 to 7:30 PM EST. Look toward the western horizon for the brightest planets.
Jupiter will be bright and easy to spot. Venus will be brilliant and low near the horizon. Saturn and Mercury will be visible to the naked eye if skies are clear. Uranus and Neptune will be faint.
Planetary alignments of three or four planets happen every year or two. Five planet alignments happen every few years. But six planet groupings visible at once are much more rare and tend to occur roughly once every decade give or take depending on visibility conditions.
The next comparable multi planet evening alignment is expected around 2034 though exact visibility will depend on location and sky conditions. That makes tonight a genuinely special sky moment.
📍 Tip: Find a clear unobstructed view of the western horizon away from heavy city lights to maximize your chances of seeing as many planets as possible
Astrologically, this feels like a hard reset. We are in eclipse season which brings endings revelations and rapid course corrections. A six planet alignment amplifies that collective turning point energy. You may feel reflective emotional restless or suddenly clear about what needs to shift. Release what is complete. Set intentions for what is next. The timeline is recalibrating.
