What the 2024 planetary alignment means and how it affects your zodiac sign?

Stargazers and believers of astrology, hold on to your breaths because not one or two but six planets — Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — in this order, will line up on 3 June in most parts of the world. Termed ‘parade of planets’ and visible in the Northern Hemisphere in 2024, this planetary movement will affect all zodiacs differently. Know more about planet alignment and its astrological significance.

What this parade of planets is: Meaning, time and other details

Just to be clear, the planets would not line up in reality but would appear to do so from the Earth’s vantage point. While moving along in their elliptical orbits, these planets will line on the same side of the Sun, which would appear as if they were in a straight file, with the distance between them marginally decreasing. This is, therefore, branded as a rare celestial event in 2024.

This astronomical event can be seen during the wee hours of the morning sky on 3 June 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere. Depending on your country’s time zone, it can also be visible for a day or two after its scheduled date as well.

In Malaysia, this phenomenon can be seen in the smallest sector of the sky a bit earlier from 30 May onwards, according to Time and Date.

Astrological significance of the 3 June planetary alignment

Besides being presented with an incredible view of the sky, this planetary alignment affects zodiac signs as well. Four of them — Aries, Taurus, Aquarius and Pisces — will be affected more than the rest. The reason is that these planets are individually aligned in these zodiac constellations.

While Saturn will be in Aquarius; Neptune and Mars will be in the constellation of Pisces and Uranus; and Jupiter and Mercury will be in Taurus. This cosmic event will have an intense combined effect on all the sun signs.

The effect of the parade of planets on your zodiac sign

Aries (21 March – 20 April)

This is a great time to be an Aries because its ruling planet, Mars, is in the meditative sign of Pisces. They will feel renewed with energy and optimism to aim big in their personal and professional lives. They will also be more confident in their dealings. This is a good period to make long-term plans or take the initiative for setting up things like new business.

Taurus (20 April – 20 May)

There are two planets in Taurus: Mercury and Jupiter. Both these planets are known for progress, growth, communication and prosperity. The celestial bull will be assertive and will manage to express their thoughts well at work as well as at home.

Because of Jupiter’s influence, they will be extra motivated to take a plunge and do something totally out of their comfort zone. They will also feel adventurous and confident in their personal relationships.

Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)

Saturn in Aquarius is a powerful combination astrologically. While Aquarius is an air sign known for being unconventional, progressive and revolutionary, this alignment will force them to alter their core nature. Saturn will be in the constellation of this fixed air sign, motivating them to reassess their karmic debt and undergo moments of self-reflection.

They will also remain true to their work and value a fixed routine during this time. This is a good time to start a physical activity or regime as Saturn ensures discipline for the natives.

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

Neptune and Mars are in the zodiac sign of Pisces, encouraging them to be driven on the work front. They will also experience heightened creativity and be encouraged to pursue something in art. They will struggle a bit between balancing their dreams and reality during this planet alignment, but it will be well worth it.
