It won't and here is why.
Often when people are told that galaxies are receding from us, they assume that means we are at the center of the Universe. However, remember that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic. No matter where one is, it looks the same in all directions. Thus, all galaxies see all other galaxies receding from them. Hubble's relationship is compatible with a Copernican view of the Universe: Our position is not a special one.
So where is the center? *There isn't one*. Although apparently nonsensical, consider the same question about the *surface* of a sphere (note the *surface*). Where's the center of a sphere's surface? Of course, there isn't one. One cannot point to any point on a sphere's surface and say that, here is the center. Similarly, because the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic, all we can say is that, in the past, galaxies were closer together. We cannot say that galaxies started expanding from any particular point.

The sun can't align with the center of the universe because there is no center anywhere in the universe.

Basically the barry center of the Universe is not a static one . Its a gravitaional fulcrum where all gravitational power balances. Hence its a moving fulcrum. that Barry center is a dynamic one, and following a three dimensional trajectory over a locus which forms an imaginary volume.(manifold)
The motion of the sun relative to that Barry center is most likely tracing a cycloidal path similar to the Earth forming a cyclodal trajectory relative to the Milky way. All motion in the Universe are oscilliatory.
For this reason and since time is not the same shape thruout the Universe, the Cosmos we observe is not Homogenous on the contrary to what is believed by scientific faith.
Stephen Hawking is his scientific explanation( A bief History of time) indicates that time in the Universe is pear shaped .
Hence showing by that analysis that the Universe is definitively not homogeous. And since Space is relative to time also implies that its not homogenous either.
Our position on the surface of the Globe is continously aligned pointing straight down to the Center of the Earth.

The conjunction you are referring to, where the planets in this solar system will align with the galatic center, will occur on December 21, 2012.
*chuckles* This is the end of the Mayan calendar. Well, the end of their 3rd age, anyway.

You need to know what you're asking before you ask it. There is no centre of the universe, and any two objects are ALWAYS in alignment, aren't they? You can have a single line between two objects no matter where they are.
Whatever you're asking about isn't happening.

It won't. There is no centre of the universe to align with.

Ah fark! Quietman beat me to it!
I wanted to go on about the Mayan calendar and freak out the 2012 people.
