Does an alignment of the planets fortell disaster, or affect human behavior?
First off, there are two types of alignments: Heliocentric, in which all the planets (apart from Pluto) align, and Geocentric, in which the five inner planets align. Probably the best way to answer this question is with a couple of facts. The 5 inner planets have aligned many thousands of times since our solar system first formed. Within human history, the planets have aligned about 100 times or so, but it is difficult to say for certain. What we can say for certain is that we had alignments April 30, 1821, February 5, 1962, and May 17, 2000. Since these three dates have come and gone with no appocalypse… Well, I think you get my meaning. By the way, the next alignment will be September 8, 2040. And I have a prediction to make: Some people will talk about how this new alignment is sure to be the start of the appocalypse. Other people will write books about the impending disaster, and how our government is trying to cover it all up, and they will go on talk shows and become famous for
