Comet NEOWISE is one of the brightest comets for over 20 years, and one of the few comets visible to the naked eye this century. It was discovered using the NEOWISE space telescope on March 27, 2020.

Comets have always inspired awe as well as dread. Seen as carrying messages from heaven, they have also inspired predictions of war and famine. In 1997, 39 members of the UFO religious group Heaven’s Gate died in a mass ritual in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following Comet Hale–Bopp.

Recent newly discovered comets have looked promising but ended up fading away when they neared the Sun, like the ‘Doomsday’ comet Elenin in 2011. In 2013, the “Comet of the Century”, ISON, was supposed to be brighter than the Moon but also broke apart and no cataclysms ensued.

But according to Space.com, “The early reviews are in: Comet NEOWISE is a hit!” [1] And NASA said this inner-Solar System intruder “might become known as the Great Comet of 2020.” [2]

Comet NEOWISE should be visible in the Northern hemisphere for all of July 2020. The best time for viewing is between July 14 to 19, before sunrise and after sunset.

Comet Astrology

Vivian Robson says the effects of comets “appear to be exerted through the constellation in which they appear, and also through the zodiacal sign and degree to which their position corresponds. They are said to cause inordinate heat, pestilence, sterility of the earth, wars and changes in kingdoms, winds, earthquakes and floods, and are assigned to the planets according to their colors. [3]

According to Jonathan Flanery, the “effects of comets were supposed to last for 1/8 of their period; to the ancients this would most likely have been their period of visibility… Their appearance was heralded by disturbances in humans, animals, and the weather. The comets then dispensed, by perihelion position and their dispositor, their good or ill effects – usually ill. They also often heralded the rise of an agent. This agent could be a war leader but might, depending on the position of the comet, show a religious leader, reformer, or great trader.

The message is not delivered until the comet makes its closest approach to the Sun where the message is assimilated into the system… These new decrees are issued at perihelion. Perihelion is the sensitive point to watch during the duration of influence of the comet as this is the message. The message alters trade and political arrangements and form alliances into new patterns – it creates new connections… When the place of perihelion is transited by Mars or the Sun, effects begin in earnest, the decree is implemented and arrangements change radically.

Comets signify realignment of trade, financial and political arrangements with an initial disruption in the system. Later on, after ignition, that is transit by Sun or Mars, the winners and losers become apparent. Even so, the effects may linger for some time with the perihelion as a sensitive point for many years, sometimes centuries.” [4]

Comet NEOWISE Astrology

Comet NEOWISE was discovered on March 27, 2020, at 5:07:28 UT, at 01°16′27″ Leo. (from astronomical data at the Minor Planet Center) [5]

The chart below shows the comet (X) at 01°16′ Leo, opposite Mars and Saturn, and square Uranus. The most significant aspect is the comet opposite Saturn (0°52′).

Comet Neowise Discovery

Comet NEOWISE opposite Saturn signifies restriction, contraction, delays, boundaries, isolation, worry, depression, trade losses, unemployment, infirmity, and poverty. It puts pressure on governments, leaders and corporations. It forces you to be responsible, patient, practical, economical, loyal, respectful of tradition, and also to look after older people.

The arrival of this comet has coincided with a great upheaval for humanity and the biggest restrictions for generations with the coronavirus pandemic (declared on March 11). The result has been just as you would expect from an opposition to Saturn: fear, death, suffering, unemployment, poverty, geopolitical change, and possibly famine. On March 27, the number of confirmed cases in the United States overtook China and Italy, and the US death toll surpassed 1,500.

The opposition to Mars adds irritation, meanness, cruelty, violence, operations, fevers, rioting, and danger of war. It places pressure on police, security guards, and the military. It urges you to be strong, brave, and to use your initiative and take the lead.

The square to Uranus brings great disruption from radical change and unexpected events, anxiety, nervousness, accidents and revolution.

Remember Robson said the effects of comets “appear to be exerted through the constellation in which they appear, and also through the zodiacal sign and degree to which their position corresponds.” [3]

The Constellation

This image from The Sky Live shows the comet first appeared in Constellation Puppis, the Poop Deck of the Ship, Argo Navis.

Constellation Argo is said to give prosperity in trade and voyages, and strength of mind and spirit, but it has been observed to accompany cases of drowning. According to Ptolemy, the bright stars are like Saturn and Jupiter (dignified, pious, conservative, acquisitive, retentive.) [3]

The Zodiacal Sign

The influence of comets in the zodiacal sign of Leo: Destruction by wild beasts and vermin, trouble to the nobility, war towards the end of the year, especially in the east, and ailments affecting the eyes. If in the east, storms and drought; if in the west, sickness and danger of madness to dogs. [3] (Comet Neowise is seen in the east.)

The Stars

“The long-period comets with periods of much more than 200 years come in from the Oort Cloud… Those from the Oort Cloud bring messages and decrees from the fixed stars.” [4]

Comet NEOWISE has an orbital period of 6,766 years. The list below shows the fixed stars conjunct comet NEOWISE at its discovery:

29 ♋ 48 – η Canis Majoris
00 ♌ 34 – π Puppis
00 ♌ 35 – η Ursae Minoris
01 ♌ 06 – 23 Ursae Majoris
01 ♌ 16 – Comet NEOWISE
03 ♌ 04 – ι Canis Majoris

23 Ursae Majoris (0°10′) is named Alhaud IV, from the Arabic word Al-Haud, meaning ‘the Pond’. [6] Constellation Ursa Major the Greater Bear is said to give a quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, self-controlled, patient nature, but an uneasy spirit and great anger and revengefulness when roused. According to Ptolemy, Ursa Major is like Mars (violent death, ultimate ruin by folly or pride.) [3] Astrologically both Bears were said to presage an evil influence. They are particularly injurious as regards to the affairs of nations and kings. [7]

Eta Ursae Minoris (0°41′): Constellation Ursa Minor the Lesser Bear is said to give indifference and improvidence of spirit, and to lead to many troubles. [3]

Pi Puppis (0°42′) has the traditional name Ahadi, which is derived from Arabic for “having much promise”. [8]

There are also significant fixed star conjunct the planets in the discovery chart:

Sun conjunct fixed star Algenib (09 ♈ 25): Mental disturbances, fevers and ill health, some danger of accidents, but also fighting spirit and a love of learning. Algenib gives a quick temper, bad morals, drink or bad habits, and denotes the naked and poor professional beggar.

Moon conjunct fixed star Menkar (14 ♉ 35): Mental anxiety, hatred of the vulgar, ill-will of women, danger from thieves, sickness to native and family, loss of marriage partner or near relative, quarrels, legal losses, legacies and inheritances attended by much evil. Lean and infirm, many miseries.

Mercury conjunct fixed star Skat (09 ♓ 08): Peculiar events, occult interests, psychic, many friends.

Venus conjunct fixed star Zaurak (24 ♉ 08): A struggle to overcome melancholy and feelings of great loneliness. So try not to take life too seriously and put too much weight on everything people say. Otherwise, this star could trigger off fear of death and suicidal tendencies.

Mars, Jupiter and Pluto conjunct fixed star Terebellum (26 ♑ 07): Fortune but with regret and disgrace.

Saturn conjunct fixed star Altair (02 ♒ 03): Sorrow and disappointment, mental disturbance necessitating asylum or hospital treatment and probably death there, separation from family or parents, danger of accident involving an inability to work or lifelong affliction.

Uranus conjunct fixed star Sheratan (04 ♉ 14): Bodily injuries, unscrupulous defeat, destruction by fire, war or earthquake. Danger is indicated when acting impulsively and in a foolhardy fashion.

The Color

Robson said comets are assigned to the planets according to their colors. Recent images of comet NEOWISE show it is mainly a golden orange color. It actually has a number of different colors coming from the nucleus and its two tails.

Comet Neowise

Comet Neowise over Stonehenge, July 14, 2020 [apod.nasa.gov]

“The first tail’s color is magenta and made of gas and ions; the second twin tail is a golden color and made of dust.” [9]

The false nucleus glowed brilliant yellow, the tail a delicate shade of orange. The comet is also developing a fainter, blue-hued ion tail from fluorescing carbon monoxide. [10]

Gold, orange and yellow colors could be applied to the Sun, Venus and Jupiter: “Those of the nature of Jupiter, abundance of corn and fruit; Sun, plague, sickness, and death of kings; of Venus, drought and trouble to kings and women” [3]

Comet NEOWISE Perihelion

The comet made its closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) on July 3, 2020, at 16:21 UT. [3] This places the comet at 29°54′ Gemini. More comet NEOWISE predictions can be interpreted from its perihelion position (X) in the chart below.

The comet is exactly quincunx Saturn. So, like the June 21 solar eclipse it is conjunct, it causes an imbalance between personal freedom and responsibility, between self-expression and restriction.

A patient, cautious, and responsible attitude is required. But flexibility and open-mindedness are also needed as you adapt to changes in the level of restrictions in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The eclipse should amplify the effects of the comet.

Comet NEOWISE Predictions

Comet NEOWISE Perihelion

The list below shows two important fixed stars influencing the comet.

29 ♊ 02 – α Orionis, Betelguese
29 ♊ 08 – North Node
29 ♊ 54 – Comet NEOWISE Perihelion
00 ♋ 11 – β Aurigae, Mekalinan
00 ♋ 21 – June 21 Solar Eclipse
00 ♋ 52 – μ Orionis

Fixed Star Mekalinan gives great initiative, high enterprise, and enthusiasm. But caution and objective second thoughts are needed because of impulsive, reckless, combative, and destructive nature. It may cause ruin, disgrace, and a violent death because of excess pleasure-seeking. Only when really in good aspect is this fixed star rated as a positive acting one. Badly positioned, this star will be most unhelpful.

Fixed star Betelgeuse gives martial honor, preferment and wealth. [3] War and carnage are presaged by Betelgeuse. [7]

When the Sun or Mars transits the perihelion position, the effects of the comet will “begin in earnest”. Mars next transits 29°54′ Gemini on April 9, 2021, followed by the Sun on June 12, 2021.

The closest approach of comet NEOWISE to Earth will occur on July 23, 2020, 01:14 UT. It will be located in the constellation of Ursa Major, at 20°34′ Leo [see chart].

  1. Hi Jamie, thank you so much for this… the comet was conjunct my natal Mars (conjunct Sun) in Leo, first house, on the day it was discovered (Mars 2 degrees, Sun 5 degrees). What are your thoughts?

    • I have not begun to think about interpreting this comets effects on natal charts. I am looking at it more from a general effect on humanity.

  2. Hi Jamie – Would a comet at 1 degree Leo be conjunct Canis Majoris at 29 degrees Leo? I think perhaps you meant 29 degrees Cancer? Just a thought.

    Sarah

  3. It is on China’s descendant, opposed its moon which is inconjunct to its Uranus. The emotional impetus to react it the wrong choice. I checked AUS and US chart and no aspects. The last time Saturn was in this spot China experienced the great famine. 40 Million died. Like now, it was then a Chinese Metal Rat year too.

    • Hi JR. I looked into China too. Actually, with all the mundane charts I have done lately. I should write a new post just on transits to the Chine horoscope. Some commentators are comparing the geopolitical climate now to the 1930’s. China backed by Russia is the biggest threat to democracy since that time.

  4. Such a wonderful information about the astrological event. Keep sharing such knowledgeable articles about the latest major astrology happenings.

  5. Thank you for sharing your articles. It really opens our minds such knowledge.

  6. Thank you Jamie. I was using the China chart in your last China update. I would love to see a China update from you. Yes it feels like Hitler and Nazi Germany to me. Sad for HK’s 7 million people. 6 million Jews died during WW2 and I’m certain if people didn’t ignore it initially then possibly it would not have happened.

  7. Amazingly great explanation of the all possible details! Would you please comment on a video of sidereal astrologer, who think differently? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb0vAX4wOnI&t=422s In sidereal astrology Jupiter is strong in Sagittarius and he thinks, that this influences in a positive way. In tropical Jupiter is weak. Also, he was describing comet now, which is in sidereal Gemini, tropical Cancer. In both ways, it will affect the USA. You had a chart based when the comet was first discovered in March but was not visible. Now it is visible with a naked eye. Elenin comet in 2011 was not seen with the naked eye and was only a short while on the sky. And yet the Arab revolution. Also in both cases, there were 6 eclipses. Please comment on this situation. I think, that you are right, but I would like you to explain why this astrologer would think his way. He mostly based his opinion on the comet color in July, not March.

  8. This is a terrific post, Jamie! As usual, you deliver more than could be expected. Thank you.

  9. You talk a bit about the solar eclipse on June 21, but what about the total solar eclipse on December 14, 2020? Two eclipses and a comet all in what is shaping up to be a tremendously consequential year? What does it mean?

  10. It feels like the whole lunar eclipse thing that was GOING to be good for the country and the world is eclipsed by this comet thing and it’s going to be a very tough time. Everything makes much more sense now. It will be bad for Trump in the long run but it seems like it will be very painful for everyone.

  11. Sure thing! I appreciate all the work that you do. If you ever do decide to include comets in chart interpretations, I’ll be interested to see what your findings are! In any case, great article – thank you.

  12. Great post .But i wonder and learn How did you calculate astrological position of neowise from astronomical datas?And how could it travel from 1 degree leo to 29 degree gemini in just four months?neowise orbit so long can it travel in four months for 31 degree ?Best regards,

    • Hi Elif. I used the right ascension and declination from the astronomical observations in the Solar Fire astrology software to calculate the zodiac degree. And the relative speed of the comet through the Signs varies so much because of it coming into the Sun, then swinging around and going back out when viewed from Earth.

  13. The 12th is where your karmic stuff (in order to bring a cycle to an end) has an effect on other‘s well-being, for better or worse. Maybe it’s a bitch, maybe it’s not … karma goes both ways.

  14. Hard to imagine Neowise traversing Ursa Major not signaling a major bear market coming.

  15. Perihelion is today, and the comet is on my Moon/Venus cnj.
    It’s a significant day for me because I am distancing myself from a 51-year relationship.
    It strikes me that the comet’s name points to an influx of new wisdom?

  16. What do you think Jamie? NEOWISE reaches perigee, as we hit 7.8 billion souls.

    Moon 00Vir20, Sun 00Leo37, yodeling everywhere
    X @ 20Leo34, Saturn 28Cap29
    Age of Aquarius chart, progressed Moon 29Leo56
    Personal natal Uranus 29Leo57rx

    Y’all take a bow, and hold on

  17. People in China who have managed to communicate freely with contacts in the West, have said there were millions of deaths from coronavirus. The truth will eventually be revealed if this was, indeed, a similar tragedy to the Great Famine.

  18. I don’t see a comet in 1959-1961 that’s attributed to the Great Leap forward famine. I do see a Heliocentric Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in May 1961, and the Aquarius stellium in February 1962.

    I do see a Satellite looking at the Mosture69 swamp drain art while as it was under construction…. a number of satellites. It was noticed by a few of them, to have produced a sequence right before China doubled its pandemic fatalities in early April. The landscape was complete by then, as I had moved.

  19. I wonder how much weight these comets really have in terms of influence on human affairs. The trans saturnian planets already explain things very well? Are astrologers so superstitious that everything falling from the sky is a bad omen. ? What about space junk and debris like satellites, rocket fuel cannisters, meteorites, crows cawing in my backyard? Lol Come on, Jamie Partridge your Virgo need to dissect every insignificant event on the planet Earth is somewhat annoying !

  20. Thanks for doing this work Jamie.
    May have missed it in the above but if not, around how long will this comet’s mundane influence last ?
    And what might the Jupiter Saturn conjunction on December 21 2020 in the same degree of Aquarius
    that Saturn was placed in when Neowise was discovered March 27 2020 mean and how can we
    All best prepare for what it indicates ?
    Thanks again.

  21. The third banana was June 21 eclipse, listed at $150,000, and before NEOWISE comet hit perihelion and perigee, at the degrees 29Gem54, and 20Leo34, respecfully, as Jamie noted.

    We probably want to watch the banana auction action in the years ahead. It’s a new art standard, so they must be careful with it.

  22. “A patient, cautious, and responsible attitude is required. But flexibility and open-mindedness are also needed as you adapt to changes in the level of restrictions in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The eclipse should amplify the effects of the comet.”

    Prediction!

    Three astrologyking comets

    Neowise, post saging the end of the Age of Pisces and the 20 year generational turn, and Leonard 2021/1 and C/2022 E3 (ZTF) , two framing Christmas comets, and the formal certification of the 39 year turn.

    Brand!

  23. comets NEOWISE 2020, Leonard 2021, and 2022 E3 all show Mercury Retrograde, with a sextile to Uranus, Neptune, and South Node, respectfully,

    with comet 2022 E3 Zwicky, Mercury Rx sextile South Node suggests Meaning or Purpose

    Diving deeper, recall Uranus conj Neptune, February 2, 1993.

    https://postimg.cc/5XVjhsLN

    In the Uranus conj Neptune chart, Mercury conj Saturn, sextile North Node.

  24. The sextile aspect, simply, one works well with the other.

    Thus NEOWISE C/2020 F3, Mercury Rx sextile Uranus. The comet “works with” the Age of Aquarius. It points us to the Alpha-Omega connection at Cosmogenesis, June 21, 2020 Solstice-Eclipse, the January 12, 1996 astrology chart and comet Hale Bopp, and other January 12 inventory, such as comet McNaught 2007.

    C/2021 A1 Leonard, Mercury Rx sextile Neptune. This comet, beyond its position in the Triplicity, tells us its spiritual story (morphology), and disintegrates (astronomy) and disolves (astrology).
