Saturn, Venus and Mercury will align themselves on Saturday evening, June 25 and will get even better on Sunday June 26 and June 27 ought to be a great show indeed. You will be able to see this with the naked eye around sunset. This obviously does not happen often. Astronomers call this spectacular event a "conjunction" and for stat watchers it is a really big deal. Many holistic type folks believe this is an opportunity for enlightenment, peace and connection with the other side. There is much folklore in that regard.

Planet Alignment

The closest planet to the sun is Venus and if you think our heat wave is bad this summer, how would you like 870 F on the surface of Venus? Venus has a thick CO2 layer which traps in the heat; talk about Global Warming? The good part about this is with the cloud layer it acts as a reflector of the Sun’s light and therefore makes it easy for us to see on Earth. Mercury and Venus are not too impressive when viewing by telescopes, somewhat featureless; Saturn is cool to look at because of its rings. The Cassini Space Probe has brought back incredible images of Saturn and you can find these on Google Image Search by just typing in; “Cassini” or “Saturn” on the search bar.

I hope you will enjoy your Planet Alignment this weekend, some say great things can happen for the person with an open mind during this time period and you will have three days to see. Be sure not to forget, as it does not happen that often you see? Think on this; think positive.
