Do planetary alignments matter

[Sanity Check]

 

On August 10, 2025, a stunning planetary alignment will unfold in the early morning sky as six planets—Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn—line up just before sunrise. This rare event, often referred to as a planetary parade, will feature four bright planets—Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn—clearly visible to the naked eye. The more distant Uranus and Neptune will also be part of the alignment but will require binoculars or a small telescope to observe. Visible about an hour before sunrise, this cosmic display offers a beautiful and accessible moment for skywatchers around the world to witness the Solar System’s harmony.

"Do planetary alignments matter?"

They matter to those who hold that as an interest.

[Nungali]

Do they 'matter '  ?     . 

 

One 'matter' might be a nice  night sky visual .

 

Maybe you meant to ask  do they effect us  ?   if so ; it is the angular relationships between the planets that cause effects , not so much if they are visually arranged in a line up from geocentric perspective .

Plus being an incredible Full Moon. To me it felt like a Super Moon one. Very special practice. Can't wait for September's Blood Moon (Sun 7 Sept) which is a lunar eclipse.

 

Start of spring in the southern hemisphere.

that one worked 

 

( but I often have trouble with them lately )

There are many energies that flow within the body of the solar system.  Some are more refined than others.   Hence the relationship between our moon and lunatics

 

 

[Nungali]

There is no significant correlation between the two .   This mistaken observation  can be explained in many ways . 

 

the position of Luna in a chart or in a planetary alignment  does not relate to  'lunatics'  ...   the term is not in technical usage   and is rather false and old fashioned  .   People may have ' mental health  issues  or dysfunction  ' ...'lunatic' is usually an insulting term nowadays .
