Lisa Stardust is a New York City-based astrologer. Stardust is the resident astrologer for Oprah Magazine, Teen Vogue and The Hoodwitch. She has two upcoming books: “Saturn Return Survival Guide: Navigating this cosmic rite of passage” is due out this May from Hardie Grant Books and “The Cosmic Deck” from Chronicle Books is due out in November.
The cosmos has put on a show for us this spring, from the total solar eclipse in April that impacted the entire continental U.S. to the geomagnetic storm that led to northern lights in May. Next up, a “parade of planets” will illuminate the sky. Starting June 3, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will dazzle the sky as they near each other in the solar system, giving stargazers something special to look at in the morning.
First, consider the twinkle. If it's not twinkling, then it's a planet. 'Planets look more like a steady light, while stars often twinkle because their light is affected by Earth’s atmosphere,' Conafoy says. Planets also might take on 'distinctive colors,' Conafoy says. Mars looks reddish, and Venus is more bright and white.
