The Planets are Prepping for An Epic Alignment – Here’s How to Watch it Shape Up
The Good News Network ^ | Apr 15, 2022 | Andy Corbley -

This Sunday, April 17th, Jupiter will move into position closest to the eastern horizon, and almost on top of Venus. A bit south and above will be Mars looking very red, and then Saturn further up and further south.

For most people in North America, the ideal time will be to go out and look southeast about 45 minutes before the sun begins to rise. On April 23rd, the Moon will appear in conjunction with the other spheres, appearing to the right and above Saturn, before moving off again by April 29th.

In mid-June, due to its rapid orbiting around the Sun, Mercury will fall into position. Seeing all five of these together will depend on where one lives. With a long unobstructed view of the eastern horizon, Mercury will be visible as early as June 10th, but for those in hilly, urban, or mountainous areas, it will be better to wait until the beginning of July.

A thin crescent moon, due on June 17th, will make Mercury easy to find by looking just below and to the right. Uranus and Neptune will also both be in the sky, but will require the use of binoculars or a telescope.

“In the end, we don’t decide these things you know. The planets do. They’re in alignment, and it’s time again. The world’s going to change tonight, doctor. I’m glad you’ll be able to watch it. And....Happy Halloween.”

If the assumption is made (and it is a huge assumption) that planetary motion has been consistent throughout history, why not model backwards to see if there is a point in history when all of them align perfectly?

Wasn’t there supposed to be an alignment of planets back in 1977 in which all the occultists and horoscope enthusiasts said gravity from them would rip the Earth apart?

I remember the “Harmonic Convergence” in 1987 which was supposed to do the same thing but all the occultists went to all the ancient ruins such as Chaco Canyon and other places, stood in a circle and went “A-h-h-h” which was supposed to realign and save the earth.

Such is the power of occult superstition in supposedly educated people.

>>I remember the “Harmonic Convergence” in 1987<<

I definitely remember that, too. We traveled almost 5 miles to get n unobstructed horizon, to better enjoy the view of the alignment.

(Psalm 33:6-9) By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

I remember that. I figured why even study for Mr. O’Dougherty’s weekly spelling test. Imagine my surprise when class was still held.

There is never a dawning of the Age of Uranus.

Only with binoculars or a telescope. I imagine a mirror might be involved too.
