Approaching comet may outshine the moon

[Ashim]

hmmm I'm not sure if celestial events like comets do have any influence as astrological events do. I have not come across rigorous astrological studies (yes they do exist) on very temporary influences as comets. Asteroids (only some) have been shown to have influence… but very very few and ones that orbit solar system for very long time.

If the impact from a comet had wiped out life on the surface of your planet (mars for example) this would be 'burnt in' as part of the societal and individual memory.
The comet would most certainly have an effect on all humans at the subconscious level, the catastophic event remaining veiled but still acting as catalyst.

Another angle:
What do you think the metaphysical effect of a celestial body 'outshining' the moon would be?
Could the effect of the Luna entity be somewhat diminished?

This is quite interesting:

When a comet hovered over Jerusalem in 66AD, it prompted the historian Josephus to warn that it heralded the destruction of Jerusalem, which did indeed happen four years later.

William the Conqueror saw a bright comet, which we now know to be Halley's comet, in 1066. This was perceived by King Harold as a dire omen, but as a favourable one by William. Indeed, William's battle cry came: 'A new star, a new King'. Several months later, Harold was indeed killed at the Battle of Hastings and William had an image of the comet embroidered in the Bayeux Tapestry. A group of terrified Saxons is seen looking up at it; a legend reads, 'They are in awe of the stars.'

In 1301 Halley's Comet again appeared - after which the Italian painter Giotto di Bondare immortalised it by depicting it as The Star of Bethlehem in his painting the Adoration of the Magi in the Arena Chapel, Padua.

A 'black comet' was said to have preceded the Black Death in 1665 and another comet was said to preceed the Great Fire of London in 1666.

The appearance of a comet was also associated with the Great Constantinople Earthquake of 1556.

In 1456 opposing armies of Turks and Christians faced each other at the Battle of Belgrade, when Halley's comet appeared. Its tail, shaped like an avenging sword, pointed towards the Turks; the Christians won. At this time the Turks had become masters of Constantinople and were threatening to advance into Europe. Hence the appearance of Halley's comet was regarded by Christendom with superstitious dread. Ecclesiastical authority saw Halley's comet as an agent of the devil and led to the myth that the pope had excommunicated it. At this time a prayer was added to the Ava Maria: 'Lord save us from the devil, the Turk, and the comet.' (Chambers Encyclopaedia, 1887).

In 1607 Halley's comet was sighted by American colonists, who were subsequently plagued by rampant diseases, hostile Indians and near-starvation.

The penultimate appearance of Halley's comet in 1910 coincided with the death of King Edward VII and the accession of George V. By this time most people had lost their superstitious dread of comets, but other fears had arisen. An astronomer reported that spectroscopic analysis showed that the comet's tail, through which the Earth would pass, contained a poisonous gas, and charlatans made a small fortune selling 'comet pills', guaranteed to protect people from harm.

In 1997 fantasists believed that a Saturn-shaped spaceship was hiding behind Comet Hale-Bopp, ready to invade Earth. This led to the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult!
