Astronomical Alignment

An astronomical alignment occurs when celestial bodies—such as planets, stars, or the Sun and Moon—line up in a specific configuration from Earth's perspective. These alignments can influence phenomena like solar and lunar eclipses, tides, and horoscopes. They happen due to the predictable, repetitive paths of celestial objects governed by gravitational forces and orbital mechanics. While some alignments happen frequently, others are rare and have historically been viewed as significant for various cultural or scientific reasons. Overall, astronomical alignments reflect the precise, rhythmic movements of objects in the cosmos.
