Five planets alignment 2023: When, how to see, effects on each zodiac sign, and everything you need to know 

It’s not every day that one gets to witness five planets in one single line. On the nights of March 27 and March 28, stargazers and celestial observers may witness a spectacular display featuring a stunning lineup of five planets - Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars.

These planets will be visible in the night sky alongside the crescent moon. However, the extent of this astronomical marvel may vary depending on the viewer's geographical location, as the appearance of these planetary bodies is heavily influenced by one's position on earth.

Furthermore, several experts have also reported that people might be able to see the unobstructed view of Jupiter and Mercury, depending on their locations. Additionally, they have also suggested that Venus will be the brightest planet of the five and be the easiest to spot.

On the other hand, Uranus is likely to be a little faint, and it will be visible only through telescopes or binoculars. NASA astronomer Bill Cooke stated that the best day to catch the five planets together would be Tuesday.

Alongside being excited to see these planets align, netizens and people across the globe are also interested to learn about the effects it can have on each zodiac sign.
