The world does not spin round, but the planets have decided to align. It seems like a good omen if we believe in the luck that can come with an occasional astronomical event, although if you look at the small print, science will take care of dismantling your fantasy. It is unusual for seven planets orbiting the Sun to be seen at the same time, in fact it is a phenomenon that will not be repeated again for another 400 years, but the planets will appear aligned from our terrestrial point of view. In reality, they are not. It is a delusion optics. But lacking collective joys, illusions are welcome, optical and all.
