Last night, I finally saw Comet Lemmon through my binoculars — a faint, glowing traveler suspended in the night sky. I was awestruck knowing that this comet last passed near Earth around the year 675, long before telescopes or modern science. It was like gazing directly into the universe’s ancient heartbeat — a reminder that we, too, are part of something vast, cyclical, and intelligent.
Under the October sky, with two comets visible (I haven’t seen SWAN yet), a meteor shower streaking above (the Orionids), and the crisp autumn air alive with energy, I felt a deep stirring — a sense that something within and around us is shifting. Change is in motion. Transformation is underway.
Throughout history, comets have been seen as messengers from the cosmos — some feared them as omens, while others recognized them as signs of renewal. Ancient astronomers in China called them “guest stars.” In India, they were “smoke banners” — breaths of divine energy moving through space. To me, Lemmon is a celestial guest reminding us to pause, breathe, and realign with the greater flow of creation.
There’s something poetic about its 1,300-year journey through the dark, only to return now, in a moment when humanity is awakening in new ways — expanding consciousness, questioning reality, and reconnecting with the deeper truth of who we are. The timing feels anything but random.
I believe Comet Lemmon is a sign of transformation. Its green glow, created by carbon molecules igniting in sunlight, feels symbolic of renewal, growth, and heart-centered awakening. Combined with the other cosmic activity this month — the meteor showers, the rare alignments, and the whisper of solar storms — it feels like the universe is calling us to shed what no longer serves and open to something greater.
Maybe that’s what comets really are: reflections of our own inner cycles — moments when our souls flare bright against the backdrop of eternity, burning away the old and illuminating the path ahead.
As I watched Lemmon amongst the stars, I couldn’t help but smile. The sky is speaking. Change is coming — but there is nothing to fear, we are evolving. What an incredible time to be alive, awake, and witnessing it all.
✨ Have you seen Comet Lemmon yet? If so, take a moment to pause beneath its ancient light — you might just feel the universe whispering to you, too.
