It aligns the assignment symbol = for me, too, which I don't want. Do you have any special align-rules-alist to prevent that?

#                     here,  instead of here
#                      v           V
my %periods            =  (Mercury => { orbital => 0.24,  rotation => 
+58.64 },
               Venus   => { orbital => 0.62,  rotation => -243.02 },
               Earth   => { orbital => 1.00,  rotation => 1.00 },
               Mars    => { orbital => 1.88,  rotation => 1.03 },
               Jupiter => { orbital => 11.86, rotation => 0.41 },
               Saturn  => { orbital => 29.46, rotation => 0.43 },
               Uranus  => { orbital => 84.01, rotation => -0.72 },
               Neptune => { orbital => 164.8, rotation => 0.67 },
              );

Moving the structure from the assignment line doesn't help: 

my %periods            =  (
               Mercury => { orbital => 0.24,  rotation => 58.64 },
               Venus   => { orbital => 0.62,  rotation => -243.02 },
