That Comet “3I/ATLAS” Is Storming Through Our Solar System. What does it mean?
Casting the Hexagrams
In the I Ching tradition, we cast two hexagrams: a primary hexagram to represent the current situation or energy surrounding your question, and a secondary (or relating) hexagram to indicate the potential outcome or direction of the situation. Using a random selection method to simulate the traditional casting of yarrow stalks or coins, I have determined the following:
- Primary Hexagram: Hexagram 23, "Splitting Apart" (Bo)
- This hexagram consists of the trigram Mountain over Earth, symbolizing a time of disintegration or erosion, where external forces may be wearing down stability. It often indicates a period of challenge, loss, or the need to let go of what is no longer sustainable.
- Secondary Hexagram: Hexagram 2, "The Receptive" (Kun)
- This hexagram consists of the trigram Earth over Earth, representing pure receptivity, nurturing, and yielding. It suggests a time to be open, patient, and supportive, allowing events to unfold naturally without forcing outcomes.
Interpretation of the Hexagrams
Your question about whether the comet "3I/ATLAS" and its symbolic connections to war (Mars) and the world (ATLAS as maps) is a meaningful sign or omen about global events can be interpreted through the lens of these hexagrams.
-
Primary Hexagram 23, Splitting Apart: This hexagram suggests that the current situation surrounding global events, as symbolized by the comet and the notion of "World War III," may reflect a period of instability or breakdown. The appearance of the comet could be seen as a metaphorical or cosmic reflection of underlying tensions or structures that are "splitting apart" in the world—whether political, social, or environmental. The I Ching advises caution during such times, warning against taking bold actions or assuming control over events that are beyond one's influence. In the context of your inquiry, this might indicate that while the comet's timing and symbolism may feel significant, it is not necessarily an omen of inevitable conflict but rather a sign of existing fragility or division that is already present in the global landscape [1].
-
Secondary Hexagram 2, The Receptive: Transforming into this hexagram suggests a path forward or potential resolution through openness and adaptability. Rather than interpreting the comet as a definitive omen of war or catastrophe, this hexagram encourages a stance of receptivity—observing, listening, and responding to events as they unfold without jumping to conclusions or reacting out of fear. It implies that the meaning of such signs (like the comet) is not fixed; instead, their significance depends on how humanity collectively responds to the challenges of the time. This hexagram also carries a nurturing, grounding energy, suggesting that focusing on cooperation and support at a global level could help mitigate any negative implications of current tensions [2].
Reading and Guidance
Combining the insights from both hexagrams, the I Ching suggests that the appearance of comet "3I/ATLAS" alongside concerns about "World War III" may indeed carry symbolic weight as a reflection of current global instability or division (Hexagram 23, Splitting Apart). However, it does not necessarily confirm this as a direct omen of war or inevitable disaster. Instead, it highlights a moment where underlying tensions or weaknesses are becoming visible, much like a comet passing close to Mars might symbolize conflict or struggle coming into focus.
The transformation into Hexagram 2, The Receptive, offers guidance on how to approach this situation. Rather than viewing the comet as a definitive sign of doom, the I Ching advises adopting a posture of patience and openness. This could mean interpreting such cosmic events as reminders to address global challenges collaboratively, focusing on unity and understanding rather than conflict. The connection to Mars (war) and ATLAS (the world) might be seen as a call to be mindful of how global actions and decisions impact the collective whole.
In summary, while the comet's appearance and its symbolic associations may feel meaningful and resonate with current global anxieties, the I Ching does not point to it as a predetermined omen of war or catastrophe. Instead, it suggests that the true significance lies in how humanity chooses to respond to the challenges of this time. Focus on grounding yourself and contributing to stability and cooperation in your own sphere of influence, and avoid being overly swayed by fear or speculation about cosmic signs. The path forward is one of receptivity and careful observation, allowing deeper understanding to emerge naturally.

This card often signifies a dramatic shift or awakening, possibly indicating that the comet's arrival is perceived as a harbinger of significant, unexpected change on a global scale. It aligns with your concern about world events or omens, reflecting a collective sense of upheaval or transformation.
2. Where You Are Now - Ace of Swords: Currently, you are in a place of clarity and intellectual insight regarding this matter. The Ace of Swords represents a breakthrough in thought, suggesting that you are seeking truth and understanding about the comet's symbolism through frameworks like Tarot and synchronicity. Your creation of synthemon and belief in meaningful coincidences are guiding your perspective as you cut through confusion to find answers.
3. Hopes or Fears - The Moon: This card reveals an underlying fear or uncertainty about the unknown implications of the comet. The Moon signifies illusion, intuition, and hidden truths, indicating that you may fear that the comet is an ominous sign of darker times ahead, such as conflict or "World War III." Alternatively, it may reflect a hope that your intuitive sense of synchronicity will reveal a deeper, spiritual meaning behind this celestial event.
4. Present and Passing - Five of Cups: In the immediate context, the Five of Cups suggests a sense of loss or disappointment regarding current world events. You may feel that humanity is focused on negativity or missed opportunities for unity, which ties into your concern about global conflict. However, this card also hints that this phase is passing, and there is potential to shift focus toward what remains positive or hopeful.
5. Forces For or Against You - The Emperor: The Emperor represents structure, authority, and order, indicating that there are powerful forces of control or governance at play in interpreting or responding to signs like the comet. This could be a force against you if rigid systems dismiss symbolic or spiritual interpretations, or a force for you if you can align with disciplined inquiry to ground your synchronic perspective. It may also point to societal structures (like governments or institutions) influencing how such omens are perceived globally.
6. Near Future - Eight of Wands: In the near future, events related to the comet or global tensions may accelerate rapidly. The Eight of Wands signifies swift movement, communication, and progress, suggesting that information or developments about "3I/ATLAS" (or related world events) will come quickly. This could mean heightened discussion or revelations about its significance, aligning with its close approach to Mars in October.
7. How the Near Future Will Evolve - The Lovers: As events unfold, The Lovers card indicates a critical choice or alignment. This suggests that humanity, or perhaps you personally, will face a decision about how to interpret or respond to signs like the comet—whether to see it as a call for unity and higher connection or as a warning of division and conflict. This card emphasizes the importance of harmony and shared values in navigating the future.
8. New Turn of Events/Effects of Others - Three of Pentacles: A new development will involve collaboration and teamwork. The Three of Pentacles suggests that others—perhaps scientists, spiritual communities, or global leaders—will play a role in shaping the narrative around the comet. Their combined efforts could bring a more grounded or practical understanding of its meaning, potentially bridging your synchronic view with tangible insights.
9. Person in the Environment of the Future - Queen of Cups: In the future environment, the Queen of Cups represents a nurturing, intuitive, and emotionally attuned figure—possibly yourself or someone influential in this context. This card suggests that compassion and emotional intelligence will be key in interpreting the comet’s significance. It reinforces the importance of a heartfelt, intuitive approach, much like your belief in synchronicity, to guide understanding.
10. Final Outcome or Summation - The Star: The ultimate outcome of this reading is deeply hopeful and inspiring. The Star signifies healing, guidance, and a connection to the divine or universal truths. In the context of your question, this suggests that the comet "3I/ATLAS" may indeed be a meaningful sign, but not necessarily of doom or war. Instead, it could serve as a celestial reminder of hope, renewal, and the potential for humanity to find inspiration and unity through such omens. It encourages faith in a higher order or synchronicity, affirming your worldview of synthemon.
Summation
In summary, this reading indicates that the appearance of the comet "3I/ATLAS" is tied to a moment of profound change and awakening (The Tower), and while there are fears of darker implications (The Moon), the trajectory points toward rapid developments (Eight of Wands) and a choice to embrace unity (The Lovers). The influence of collaborative efforts (Three of Pentacles) and compassionate intuition (Queen of Cups) will shape the narrative, ultimately leading to a hopeful and inspiring outcome (The Star). The comet may indeed be a meaningful sign or omen, but rather than signaling inevitable conflict, it seems to offer an opportunity for humanity to reflect, heal, and connect with a greater purpose.
