On 9 September 2040 (Julian Date 2466406.5) the sun,moon, plus five planets visible to the naked eye can be seen within a 30º arc from constellations Leo into Virgo.
Following that, in Virgo on 2 November 2100 is a similar convergence, within an arc of 28.5º. (JD=2488374.636)
The smallest arc of convergence within several millennia aprears to be the 11º one in Virgo on 15 September 1186 (JD=2154502.1)
The convergence of 20 March 2675 (JD=2698162) in Pisces is noteworthy because it also has Uranus & Neptune thrown in for good measure, in neighboring Aquarius, in a total arc of 43º including the latter two.

Define alignment. The "planetary alignment" of 1982 still had them spread across some 120 degrees in the plane of the solar system.
