A Planetary Alignment will coincide with Mercury Retrograde
Double phenomena in the heavens Some people say in jest that the planets have aligned in their favor when life works the way they desire. Were you aware that there are seasons when things do line up in the heavens? There will be a planetary alignment AKA a planet parade, on February 28, 2026.

I've always been fascinated by the great variety of Starlings, most of which I've never seen. I do get to experience murmurations of the Eastern Starlings we have here. During the season, we often see hundreds of them at traffic lights. Enjoyed the haiku.
Starlings are amazing! I love how they gather in huge flocks—such a beautiful sight. Their shimmering feathers and ability to mimic sounds are so cool!
