Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter Align
The planetary alignment in November 2026 brings Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter together before sunrise during November 13–22. This four-planet parade is best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. November 14 is a good date to see the planets in a relatively compact arrangement, while November 20–22 offers better conditions for spotting Mercury. All four planets are bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, although Mercury will be tricky to find.

Jupiter added some good luck to Friday the 13th and beyond. With Mercury hard-to-see, we may have to look more closely to see the Truth. Sometimes “good luck” comes in disguise.
