💫 On 21 January there will be a large-scale ‘parade of planets’ when six planets (Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn) will be visible in the sky.

Astrologers recommend to look for planets from 21 to 25 January in the dark time of day. Four of them (except for Uranus and Neptune) can be observed without a telescope.

On 28 February Mercury will join the parade, and all seven planets (except Earth) will be visible in the sky.
