The alignment you are speaking of is not really a occulation but a conjunction alignment. In other words they will be lined up somewhat along the eliptical line. Granted, Many of the planets will be close together, but not really any different than last spring when we had Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury in one sopt. It will be a nice view if seen.
