In the early weeks of May,2000 eight heavenly bodlies in our Solar system will align. Theses bodies compromise the Earth, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus. This Alignment is known as a Grand Conjunction. Planetary alignments are fairly rare and getting more than three lined up is an occasion for Skywatchers.Getting them all lined up is a momentus occasion indeed. This conjunction will occur in the constellation of Taurus The last planetary alignment we had occured i believe in 1962 in Aquarius Although no great planetary catasrophes occured there was quite a bit of social upheaval if you remember. If you look at it in a astrological point of view each zodiac house rules certain traits. Some scholars have done research relating planetary alignments with a historical timeline. Quite interesting really Below you'll find some links from various sources on the web I hope they answer any questions you might have... explore and enjoy The Great Planetary Alignment from About.com contains links to various aspects of the alignment http://newage.about.com/culture/newage/library/weekly/aa032100a.htm Oklahoma School of Science and Mathmatics/Planetary Conjuntions http://drumright.ossm.edu/astronomy/conjunctions.html Griffith Observatory/Planetary Alignments http://www.griffithobs.org/SkyAlignments.html skymaps.com free skymaps of the stars http://skymaps.com Astronomy software page http://astronomy-mall.com/regular/programs/programs.html |
