If you are talking about all the planets being in a straight line, you are talking about an event that almost never happens. Several hundred millions of years goes by between these events. The probability is even lower if you want the alignment to include the sun. Trillions of years would separate such events. There are alignments of various kinds, but you need to define what you mean by 'full'. See link for more information.

∙ 15y agoShort story: Nothing will happen in a "planetary alignment".
Longer story: There are a number of definitions of "aligned". All planets lined up on a line from Sun to Mercury to Venus to Earth to Mars to... to Uranus? It will never happen. Each planet is tilted to the ecliptic, and they never line up. They don't even come very close.
When most of the visible planets are lined up across the sky? That happens every 10 or 15 years, and has been happening every 10 or 15 years for about 5 BILLION years now. Nothing ever happened; nothing will happen next time, either.
In fact, there was a nice string of planets in the sky about a year ago.

When was the last time all of the planets aligned?
Never.
When was the last date all the planets lined up?
I read a book and it says they never aligned about 4.6 billions of years.
What is it called when all the planets are aligned?
It isn't called anything because it can never occur. It never has occurred in the past, and never will occur in the future. Even if all the planets were at the same heliocentric longitude relative to the Sun, the tilts of their orbits vary enough from the plane of the ecliptic that they still wouldn't be in line.Another, more accurate, answerThink of a very simple alignment of two planets, Earth and Venus. This only occurs a little more than once a century. To add a third planet to this alignment would take many millennia. To have all eight planets aligned would require an infinite amount of time.Even so, the word for it is syzygy.
Do all the planets orbit in the same direction?
All the planets discovered up to this date moves in same direction except uranus and venus.
Are there planets in the Andromeda Galaxy?
It is extremely likely, but we cannot yet find planets from that far away. All the planets we have found to date are in our own galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away whereas our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across.
Is Stonehenge aligned with the planets?
Technically it CAN'T be aligned with the planets, because the planets' positions change all the time.

When was the last time the planets were aligned with center of the universe?
It has never happened, and never will. The center of the galaxy does not lie in the plane of the ecliptic, so all the planets can never line up pointing that way.
All the planets in line with each other?
No. Almost never happens. Depends on how well aligned you mean, occasionally all the planets will be within 45° (as seen from the Sun) or within a cone that has the vertex at the Sun and has an opening of 30°, this happens every decade or so. All the planets can never align less than 2° because the deviation from the ecliptic for some of the planets is greater than this.
