* Zodiac Signs are Not Physical Locations: The astrological signs of the Zodiac are not actual physical locations in space. They are divisions of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, representing roughly 30-degree segments of the celestial sphere.
* Planets Orbit the Sun: Planets, including the Sun, Mars, and Mercury, orbit the Sun. They don't "hover" near particular zodiac signs.
* Astrological Aspects: In astrology, the positions of planets in the zodiac signs are used to interpret various aspects of life. When astrologers talk about a planet being "in" a certain sign, they're referring to the astrological interpretation of its position in the sky at a specific moment.
Instead of "closest," it's more appropriate to talk about when these planets are in the astrological sign of Aquarius.
To get a specific time, you would need to know:
* The year: Each planet spends a certain amount of time in each sign, and the exact dates vary from year to year.
* The specific planet: Each planet moves at a different speed and spends a different amount of time in each sign.
You can use an online astrological calendar or ephemeris to find the dates when the Sun, Mars, and Mercury are in Aquarius.
