a-HA!.... so that's where the idea that a planetary alignment would bring on a huge earthquake came from!!!..... May 22, 1960 was the 9.5 monster quake in Chile.... and four days difference wouldn't make that much never mind to the folks who wanted to believe that it actually had some effect.....

Well since you all the planets back where they were on that date you need to wait for each planet to complete 1 or more orbits. Here are the orbital periods of all the planets:
Mercury 0.2408445 year
Venus 0.61518436 years
Earth (use for the Sun) 1 year
Mars 1.880815984 years
Jupiter 11.8623 years
Saturn 29.458 years
Uranus 84.01 years
Neptune 164.79 years
Pluto 248.54 years

Using Excel I find that:
0.2408445 * 2069 = 498.3072705
0.61518436 * 810 = 498.2993315
1 * 498 = 498
1.880815984 * 265 = 498.4162357
11.862342498.2166
29.45817500.786
84.016504.06
164.793494.37
248.542497.08

So after 498 years all the planets will be kind of close to being back to the same positions they were, but not exactly. Especially fast moving Mercury and Venus will be pretty far from where you want and since it is 498.3 years for Mercury and Venus, the Sun would be far from where you want when those planets are where you want them. You need a whole number of years to get the Sun back to the same place. So you really need 10 times that long to get Mercury and Venus close where you want, but then Mars is pretty far off, so you need 100 times as long. To get an exact match you would basically need to multiply all the orbital periods to get a GIANT number. Millions of years. And after such a long time small gravitational perturbations will have changed the positions anyway, so for an EXACT repeat of that pattern answer is basically never.

Anyway, it is just an arithmetic problem.

Unintelligible. But the suspicious selection of constellations smells strongly of astrology. This is the science section. Keep moving.
