On June 3, a rare ‘Parade of Planets’ will occur in the Northern Hemisphere, where Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align for viewing. Six out of nine of the solar system’s planets will be visible, but it will require getting up early to see them all. The best views will be in areas away from light pollution, about 20 minutes before sunrise while facing east. Mars and Saturn will be easy to spot with the naked eye, while Mercury and Jupiter will require some effort, and Uranus and Neptune will need binoculars or a telescope for a clear view.
The upcoming alignment on June 3 will mostly be an optical illusion since the planets will be flung across the sky at different depths and distances. If the opportunity is missed on that day, the planets may be visible a few days before or after. Another six-planet parade will occur on August 28, 2024, during Virgo season, offering another chance for planetary viewing. Astrologically, the alignment will have planets in various signs including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Pisces, affecting each zodiac sign differently.
On June 3, the cosmic lineup will feature the sun, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury in Gemini, providing an extra boost to communication skills. Individuals in Gemini should focus on speaking truth, avoiding gossip, and channeling their powers into becoming a better version of themselves. For Pisces, with the sun, Neptune, and Saturn in their sign, it is a time to distinguish between dreams and reality, and to focus on determination and clarity in pursuing their goals.
