Thank you for the good work and the usefull insights. I never miss your articles, i am always eager to read what you have to say. I was wondering if you maybe could share some insight on the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet. Its very visibile in the sky and there is a lot of talk on that and i ive read that it returns after 80,000 year. Maybe if you can share some insight and the deeper message the comet hold for us and the world at large

Thank you Amiin for your kind and generous support and for your comment here! Comet A3 as it is called was discovered in 2023 and little is known of it as it hasn't been seen for the past 80,000 years as you say. Many astronomers are not sure it will survive its journey around the Sun though some say it should as it has a strong core. It will dip into the Sun's glare on the day of the solar eclipse (interesting!). Before that, now it could be visible an hour before sunrise in the east-southeast beneath the Leo constellation (Leo represents leadership and authority, themes related to the comet traveling near there).

If A3 survives it should emerge in the western sky after sunset around October 12. I have read that it may not be as easy to see as Hale-Bopp was in the late 90s, or Neowise in 2020. Probably you would need binoculars or a telescope to see it, which to me suggests it is might not be that significant. But I guess we will wait and see.

The symbolism will relate to everything I wrote about in my recent solar eclipse article as the comet will first appear in VIRGO. Then, it will move to Serpens (the serpent constellation), and then to Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer. After October, the comet will gradually fade. These constellations can relate to health and healing, and also, the symbolism speaks to a contest over power and dominion (the Serpent Bearer has to wrestle the serpent), but in the end, the serpent is defeated.
