A very remarkable planetary/galactic configuration occurs on 23rd and 24 December 2007. The configuration on December 23 - Mars, Earth, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Galactic Centre - is shown in the graphic simulation (link) below; it becomes even more remarkable in that it will be accompanied by the Full Moon (conjunct mars) at about 2 a.m. on December 24 when a simultaneous Venus square Neptune occurs. It is even more remarkable in that the Pluto/Sun conjunction appears exactly on the Winter Solstice, just past conjunction with the Galactic Centre.

Link below is the view from Mars toward the Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Mercury, Pluto alignment toward the Galactic Centre on 23 December 2007 which occurs just after the Pluto/Jupiter (Heliocentric) conjunction on 23 November 2007. NASA Solar System Simulator for 23rd Dec 2007
