A year later, I reviewed the major global events happened between Dec 2018 to 2020; comparing these to the article I wrote in Oct 2018, there are actually some interesting findings.
First of all, from the perspective of the comets and the planets on the zodiac, the comet ‘s orbit was between the end of Aries and Gemini from the end of November to December, and Uranus was the only planet in this region at that time.
The events that I predicted include riots, protests, nuclear, earthquakes, investment markets, which are all Uranus issues, as well as finances and large animals which are related to Taurus, and students, transportation, and communications that are related to Gemini. Surprisingly, the yellow vest movement broke out in France immediately after the comet passed Uranus in December. The whole movement lasted for over a year, which involved large-scale protests, riots and destructions as well as blockage of highways. The anti-extradition movement of Hong Kong that broke out in July gradually evolved into a large-scale protest, whose participants are mostly young people and students. In Russia, a rather serious explosion of nuclear weapon factory took place in Aug 2018 and was followed by radiation leakage.
Fixed stars and constellations outside of the zodiac are also used in my prediction. At that time, the comet passed constellation Fornax, and I pointed out that it may lead to events related to chemical factories and pollution – in January of 2019, an oil pipe explosion in Mexico killed 137 people; in March, a chemical factory exploded in China, which is so intense that it even triggered an subsequent earthquake; in September, a biochemical plant in Russia which stored Ebola, smallpox and anthrax exploded.
Then, the comet passed by the constellation Eridanus which symbolises water, rivers, falling down and dropping off, as well as sudden changes in the environment; in the summer of this year, both China and India suddenly suffered serious floods which caused numerous casualties and financial losses .
What is more spectacular is when the comet passed through the constellation Perseus, a constellation of intense masculine sexual drive; simultaneously, the sexual abuse cases of Harvey Weinstein became the focus of the world until he was finally sentenced in Jan 2020. The comet also passed another constellation Auriga, a constellation related to traffic and movement. I related this to issues related to the limitation of freedom of movement. Since January 23, 2020, the outbroke of the coronavirus epidemic led to the lockdown of Wuhan, followed by other cities in China and subsequently the lockdown of many other countries around the world in the spring of 2020. The epidemic has long been associated to comets. Besides the coronavirus which caused global shock and financial recession since Dec 2019, we from ancient times to the present. In addition to our description of the new crown pneumonia that began to cause global shock and economic recession in December, not to mention the serious spread of Ebola in Africa in 2019.These events are indeed resonate with the movement of comet Wirtanen in the sky and the related delineation of the constellations, which I believe are of great help to astrological study.
On the 28th December 2019, the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Hawaii discovered the comet C/2019 Y4 (now called comet Atlas), when it was around 19th magnitude.There is a chance that it will become a bright comet in May, but we can be sure that comet Atlas will be visible to the naked eye from early May 2020, in the early evening, and it is expected to reach perihelion on 31st May 2020. If it does not break apart after it passes the Sun it could become brighter, with Nasa’s JPL Horizons program suggesting a magnitude of -5 which means it could be visible in daylight. Studies suggest that comet Atlas has an orbital period of approximately 6,026 years, so the last time it appeared in the skies would have been around 40th century BC when human culture was just starting, China was in the Neolithic period and the Egypt and Mesopotamia region was in the Chalcolithic period.
For most astrologers, comets are a bad omen of natural disaster, plague, war or death of a country leader or famous person, none of which I would deny.At this moment, the whole World faces the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, so the appearance of comet Atlas in the sky may suggest this pandemic will not end soon or that there are other things threatening our life in the coming year.Some astrologers even suggest these events could have started six months before the comet appeared. I think this needs more research and does not help for astrological forecasting or “prediction”.
How is comet Atlas going to affect us?
Look at the comet’s trajectory, it appeared near Ursa Major and will stay there until end of March, then move into Camelopardalis and then into Perseus from 13th May to 26th May, which will be the best time to see it, in the early evening. From 27th May it will move into Taurus and cross the Sun, it will then,if it does not break apart, continue its journey to Orion.
These constellations can give us some idea about what areas of life may be affected in the coming year. Ursa Major indicates wild animals, environment and nature.The Camelopardalis constellation also indicates wild animals and camels.Perseus suggests male reproduction and abilities, warriors, sexual issues and hunting. Taurus is usually related to bulls, cows and large domestic animals but it is also related to money, financial markets, land, food and storage. Comet Atlas will get very close to Pleiades between 29 – 30 May when it can be seen by naked eyes, Pleiades are usually related to crying, sadness, Alcyone causes love, eminence, blindness from fevers, small pox, and accidents to the face. Orion is usually related with fighting, hunting and war.
If we project the trajectory of comet Atlas on the tropical zodiac, when it can be seen with naked eye in May, it moves from 23 Gemini to 27 Taurus, and its perihelion projects on to 27 Taurus 21” which aligns with the fixed star Algol within 1°, after this it moves towards tropical Gemini again. Gemini suggests: young people, children, students, neighbourhood, short journeys and transport. The fixed star Algol, is believed by some astrologers to be a most unfortunate star. Robson said it is the most evil star in the heavens, it has the nature of Saturn Jupiter and causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging… its violent nature causes death.
During this time, comet Atlas will “conjunct”or “align” with Venus on 5th May, Mercury at 10 Gemini on 17 May, and conjunct the Sun within 5° from 22nd May, with an exact conjunction of the Sun on 24th May.May 22nd is a New Moon in Gemini, which means comet Atlas will conjunct this new Moon before it passes the Sun. When a comet conjuncts with Venus it suggests finance, female, beauty and fashion.A Mercury conjunction suggests: transport, education, students and communication.The Moon conjunction is about Seafaring, Oceans, Food, Agriculture and Female. The Sun conjunction suggests leaders, especially death or abdication of a country’s leader, the Sun also represents celebrity, male and gold.
The countries and organisations that have Sun Moon Asc Mc and Chart ruler between23 Gemini to 27 Taurus are more likely to face huge challenges. We already know the comet can be seen with the naked eye even before it passes the Sun, so countries with indicators near 27 Taurus, like Spain (1479 Chart), Chad, Lesotho, Cape Verde will be especially affected. Countries which have Sun, Moon Asc near 2-4 Gemini will also be affected as the comet Atlas will join the new Moon at these degrees, I found Jordan, Argentina (revolution chart), Mexico (constitution) and Singapore are in this category. It will also affectcountries that are usually related to Taurus, like Cyprus, Russia, Ireland and Switzerland, and countries related to Gemini (according to Lilly England is one, especially London). I saw that Lilly suggests Lombardy is related to Gemini and this area is currently the one most affected by coronavirus in Italy.Also most astrologers will agree that U.S is usually related to Gemini as well.
In my research comet do not only bring disasters, they can also inspire us to have new ideas, make important discoveries and create life changing inventions.They can also release people from difficult situations, responsibility or stigma. It could be be a hard time,but what we do to make the most of it is up to us.Andre Baubault views comets as communicators and mediators of the Universe. When we see how our governments react against each other at this moment, we can hope that the comet will help us to put more effort into communicating with each other and bring us together.
Comet Atlas information from Nasa’s JPL Horizons program
Astrologer can use the column ObsEcLon and calculate it’s sign and degree for example on 1st April 2020 Comet Atlas is at 105 it = 15 Cancer ( 0-29 = Aries, 30-59 = Taurus )

2. Set up traget click change traget body, key in the celestial body you want to search , for comet give their IAU name for example , C/2019 Y4, or 1P/Halley, or asteroids name.
3. Set up Observer locaiton : Geocentric
4. Set up Time span : give the dates you want to search
5. Table setting : I usually have Apparent AZ & EL, Visual mag. & Surface Brght, Constellation ID, and for astrologer most important is Observer ecliptic lon. & lat. this will give you zodiac degree ( 0-29 = Aries , 30 – 59 = Taurus … ), if you want Declination you can select Astrometric RA & DEC too. Than click use selected setting
6. Click Generate Ephemerise.. you will grt information you need.
