How is that an alignment though? It’s not like MacGuyver or Lara Croft is going to have to stop some baddies from assembling ancient artefacts in a particular room to unleash arcane terrors into the world just because the planets are sort-of visible together in the sky.

It's an alignment because if you look up at it they're in a line. That's what alignment means, Lara Croft and ancient artifacts are optional.

But only in the same sense that they always are! You just can’t see it because of your mortal limitations.

I think that actually was a plot in a MacGyver TV movie I vaguely remember from the 90s.
