Planet Parade: Four planets with the moon align in night sky
A wonderful parade is lining up the heavens this week. Four planets–Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn–will align in the same ecliptic plane of our solar system, making them seem as if they are in a straight line across the eastern horizon.
The alignment has been building for weeks and didn't just develop overnight. Venus, Mars and Saturn have been neighbors in the night sky since March. Jupiter joined the party in mid-April. The moon tags along for the last week of April.

Neptune, on the other hand, has a bit of a longer ride through this sign and will also go through a five-month retrograde period (beginning June 28) until it eventually moves into Aquarius on December 3.

Early-stage fundraising is a tale of two planets – TechCrunch
If you follow mainstream tech media, you could be forgiven for thinking that venture capital is a founders' market today after two years of record round sizes and outcomes.
