Parade of Planets

This year seven planets will be in alignment – Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars in the Parade of Planets – all those planets line up, one right next to the other.

Can you imagine the planning that went into getting that organized?  “Saturn, stop looking at yourself, you are beautiful – get back in line” and “Mars, stop talking to Venus, I know it has been a long time!” 

Add to this a new moon, which is a shadowed, and will reduce light pollution in the sky and make Neptune, Uranus and Saturn easier to spot. 

And just like that, a Meteor shower arrives thinking they too are part of the parade….

Planning, analyzing, communicating and problem-solving are great Leadership styles.
