Here's what the rare six-planet parade will mean for your zodiac sign, according to astrologer Kyle Thomas' predictions shared with PEOPLE exclusively.

Six planets will be in alignment this weekend, with four of them shining bright in one sweeping view. What to know about the planet parade.

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are all visible after sunset, but social media claims about it being a rare "planetary alignment" are not correct. Here's how to see it.

Alignments of five or more planets are rare—there will be two more featuring five or more planets this year, but after that the next won’t happen until 2040.

Venus and Saturn will be in conjunction this weekend, appearing side by side in the night sky during January's post-sunset "planet parade."

On Friday 17 January and Saturday 18 January, six planets will line up in the night sky, in an event that some astronomers refer to as a planetary parade. Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus will appear together in a row, although Neptune and Uranus will only be visible with binoculars or a telescope.

A rare sight is coming to North Texas for the ending of January 2025. Six planets – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Venus will create an arc in the evening sky.

Mars will seem to disappear behind the full wolf moon Monday for many sky-gazers. Throughout January, also look up to see Venus, Saturn and Jupiter in the night sky.

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will be visible together all month after dark, NASA reports. The four planets have been visible together since December and will be visible through February, as well. You may also catch a glimpse of Neptune and Uranus through a telescope, but they won’t be shining as brightly.

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will appear to line up and be bright enough to see with the naked eye in the first few hours after dark. This weekend, Venus and Saturn get especially cozy.

Any clear, cloudless night this month is ideal to spot the planets. To get in on the sighting, go outside on a clear night a few hours after sunset and face south, said Kevin Williams, planetarium director at Buffalo State University.

NASA and famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin say stargazers have the best chance of catching a glimpse of Saturn and Venus in alignment starting Saturday. The planets have been shuffling toward each other in the sky and will appear closest this weekend, appearing only inches apart to the human eye.
