Planetary alignments like the one that happened last night are fleeting events, often lasting only a few days. The exact duration depends on how closely aligned the planets appear from Earth. Since planets move at different speeds in their orbits, their relative positions shift gradually, causing the alignment to disperse.

After the alignment ends, its energetic and symbolic effects are believed to linger, especially for those attuned to its significance. 

Here’s what typically happens:

• Integration Period: Just as the energies leading up to the alignment brought heightened emotions and revelations, the days after are a time for processing and integrating these insights. You may feel a sense of clarity, closure, or readiness to move forward with new intentions.
• Emotional Release: The post-alignment phase might bring an emotional “exhale,” where any tension or struggles experienced during the alignment start to ease. You may feel lighter, as though a weight has been lifted.
• Ripples of Change: The intentions or actions you set during the alignment can continue to ripple outward, influencing your decisions, relationships, and inner growth for weeks or even months to come.

As the planets shift out of alignment, their individual influences become more distinct, rather than blending together in the concentrated energy of the alignment. This movement can feel like:

• Gradual Balancing: The intensity of the alignment fades, allowing for a more grounded and steady emotional state. You might find it easier to focus on practical matters or long-term goals.
• Shift in Focus: Different planetary influences may take center stage, depending on their positions in the sky. For example, one planet’s energy might become more dominant, impacting a specific area of life, such as communication (Mercury) or discipline (Saturn).
• Completion and New Beginnings: The separation of the planets serves as a natural conclusion to the alignment’s themes. It’s an opportunity to close the chapter on the past and move forward with the lessons and blessings gained.

Think of the alignment as a powerful cosmic spotlight—once it fades, the energy remains, gently illuminating the path you’re meant to walk. The days following are perfect for reflecting on what you’ve learned and applying it to your life.
