There was a rare planetary alignment on March 7 this year. As expected, nothing out of the ordinary happened on that day. So, everybody had another chance at mocking the astrologers and mystics for their beliefs.

However, there might be more to planetary alignments than meets the eye. They may not be as insignificant as some make them out to be.

Significance of planetary alignments

Alignments are cyclical, and so is the Sun. Alignments may therefore have something to do with the state of the Sun. Certain alignments may make our Sun more active. Others may make it less active.

Lately, there’s been an uptick in geological activity, and spring has come late to the northern hemisphere.

There’s also been changes on other planets. The red spot on Jupiter has become smaller and taller.

Electric perspective

This may all be related. Especially in an electric perspective. If our Sun is powered by an external electrical input, then our entire solar system is a circuit in which energy flows change depending on the location of planets.

If all planets are clustered on one side of the Sun, the overall energy flow will skew towards the planets, and make the Sun less active while making planets more stressed.

Which is exactly what we are seeing. The uptick in geological activity is a sign of stress, and the low solar activity is a sign of less energy input.

Changes to Jupiter’s red spot may also be due to increased stress.

Conclusion

Planetary alignments may seem unimportant. However, evidence seems to suggest that the position of planets relative to the Sun has real world impacts on both climate and geology.
