A planetary alignment, or a "planet parade" according to the internet, will grace our night sky just after dusk, according to NASA. We'll see six planets in the first part of February – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn – and on Feb. 28, they'll be joined by Mercury.
Venus will join forces with Neptune in dreamy Pisces, magnifying the magic and idealism surrounding this mystical Water sign. Prepare to fall head over heels, whether with a romantic interest or through your creative expression.
Heads up, skywatchers. February is here, with no shortage of celestial events to inspire awe. Venus is making her mark just in time for Valentine's Day as the brightest in the sky this year, taking the place of Saturn to continue the planetary alignment for this month.
Known as the "Parade of Planets," the celestial event will feature appearances from Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn through the end of January, according to Farmer's Almanac. Mercury will emerge in the night sky at the end of February, replacing Saturn.
