You want to find a place that’s got as low of a horizon as possible and try to get as far away from the city lights as possible."

Six planets are set to align Tuesday evening, four of which will be visible to the naked eye, according to astronomers. NASA refers to this phenomenon as a planet parade, and there are a few good viewpoints here in San Diego County.

A rare six-planet alignment is set to grace our night sky on. Let's unveil what it means for each zodiac sign.
