3I/ATLAS

As far as I can tell, the much discussed celestial visitor 3I/ATLAS reached perihelion at 6:47pm Jakarta time on October 29th 2025. At this time it was in 23°40' of Libra and too close to the Sun for observation from Earth. Figure 1 shows a chart for the aforementioned date and time.

The Moon Pluto conjunction in early Aquarius stands out here. Grok thought for 9 minutes and 15 seconds to find when the conjunction with the Sun will or did occur. There were many gruelling calculations involved but here is the result of the query:
The comet 3I/ATLAS reached exact conjunction with the Sun on July 21st 2025, at 11:12 UTC. This conjunction of celestial longitudes occurred at 28 degrees 36 minutes in Cancer in the tropical zodiac. At this time, the celestial latitude of 3I/ATLAS was -1 degrees 33 minutes. 
Figure 2 shows the chart drawn up for Jakarta at the time of this conjunction (9:12am on July 21st 2025).

As can be seen, there is a very powerful square between Mars and Venus involved the Ascendant and MC. This YouTuber proposes a slightly different chart for the perhelion. See Figure 3. This person also mentioned that the object's closet approach to Earth will occur on December 19th. 2025.

She got this chart off Stefan Burns whom I'm subcribed to on YouTube. On his channel he references theskylive.com that offers a good view of 3I/ATLAS relative to to the solar system. See Figure 4.
