Last night, Jason and I woke to our home shaking. I knew instantly it was an earthquake. What I didn’t know at the time was that we were in the epicentre.

We checked the time. It was 23:23.

I then went on to have the best night’s sleep I have had for a long time.

When an earthquake strikes, when the UK isn’t in an earthquake zone, and we are in the epicentre, at 23:23 on the 3rd December, I take notice.

This morning, I learned that it was magnitude 3.3 and 3km deep.

And learned that each year, there are between 200 and 300 earthquakes in the UK, but only about 20 to 30 are strong enough to be felt.

That is quite a few 2’s and 3’s there and an intriguing synchronicity with repeated numbers.

And the plot thickens further.

Yesterday’s YouTube video from Geophysicist Stefan Burns, whom I listen to daily, was talking about the likelihood of increased earthquakes.

He has linked an increase in solar flares to an increase in earthquakes. The solar flares that are coming our way from the Sun right now were triggered by the passing of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS at the end of October, when it passed its closest point to the Sun.

I turned that video from Stefan off fifteen minutes in as I didn’t think earthquakes applied to me.

Apparently, they do!

If I needed a sign that something epic is happening, with the ground tremoring right beneath our home, I have it now. But I didn’t need a sign. I was already convinced that 3I/ATLAS is bringing us something very special. You can watch my videos, which I recorded last week about this here.

Choosing our response

I messaged a family member to say what happened, so they wouldn’t be concerned when they heard it on the news. Warton, where we live, is on the map across the media today. I ended my text message with the word ‘exciting’. They replied: ‘I don’t see why this is exciting – it’s scary.’

This is what is happening, summed up in one correspondence. If we don’t know the bigger picture of what is going on here, it is scary. Earthquakes are associated with fear. And for good reason, when they are of a high magnitude. But here in the UK, earthquakes tend to be small, infrequent, and rarely as destructive as those in more seismically active regions.

Given I was told only yesterday that we were to expect more earthquake activity due to the solar flares created a 3I/ATLAS passed the sun at the end of October, I have the bigger picture.

I’m literally bouncing off the walls this morning. For me, this is a neon light telling me that we are living the prophecy.

All these years, the thing that has been weighing me down, affecting all my choices in life, is the impending collapse. I have known about this since my first year at university, when I was taught about the ‘climate change hockey stick graph’.

And now, I know for certain that we aren’t on our own. Help is coming. Help is here. This changes everything for me.

I realise how fruit loop I will sound to people who don’t get this. That’s fine. I can relate. I keep on checking in with myself regularly too, to make sure I am not going off on a crazy tangent away from reality.

I did calm down a little bit about 3I/ATLAS for a few days, until the ground literally moved beneath me last night.

So, we have two choices here. Whether to approach this in fear or joy. This is the first message I got from my spirit guides around 3I/ATLAS back in early October.

Fear or joy.

That was summed up in that text message. One person is excited. One person is scared.

So, what is 3IATLAS

I listened to Stefan Burn’s latest YouTube video first thing this morning, spinning in the afterglow of the earthquake. He hasn’t given a 3I/ATLAS update for a while, so I was keen to hear the developments.

He talked more about the anomalies of 3IATLAS. We have more information now, and it is mind-blowing.

What I have to share next will please all the ‘theorists’ like me out there, who like to understand the science behind things. Fasten your seatbelts.

This interstellar object has travelled for between 3 billion and 11 billion years to get here. Given that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, that is quite some time.

It’s closest approach to the Earth will be on the 19th December. That is the night of the New Moon and 2 days before the Winter Solstice. The longest and darkest of nights. Just take that in. That’s some coincidence.

Side note: We are holding a Winter Solstice-New Moon-3I/ATLAS celebratory evening online that night, starting at 7pm. It will be free for everyone. Save the date, and we will tell you more about this soon.

Now going back to 3I/ATLAS.

The last time 3I/ATLAS passed a star was at least 10 million years ago. Since then, it has been travelling through space, on its way to us.

As it passed our Sun, the energy it picked up activated chemical reactions inside it. 3I/ATLAS began behaving differently, projecting multiple jets at least 50,000 km from its nucleus, as well as forming a prominent sunward-facing tail.

Now, as 3I/ATLAS continues its journey through our solar system, this sunward-facing tail continues to grow brighter and longer over time, as the outward-facing tail dims, which is something highly unusual.

Stephen Burns spoke today about the new results from the probe sent to asteroid Bennu, which coincidentally have just come in over the past few days. The findings are extraordinary. Bennu contains everything needed for life: water, including the liquid water necessary for catalytic reactions to occur, organic compounds, and amino acids. There is even the possibility of discovering primitive genetic code on objects like these.

This connects to 3I/ATLAS, which may be a kind of ‘seed’ from another star system. It contains water and appears to behave almost like a carrier of life’s building blocks from beyond our own solar system, perhaps holding forms or precursors of life that we don’t yet understand.

3I/ATLAS passed through its perihelion, its closest point to the Sun, on 29th October. Interestingly, its presence seems to coincide with increased solar activity: major sunspots formed just as they rotated into alignment with 3I/ATLAS, and immediately began erupting. The Earth has moved around now to face these solar sunspots, leading to an increase in solar flares and then earthquake activity.

And fasten your seatbelts even tighter for this next piece of information.

From March to April, the Earth will pass through the region of space containing 3I/ATLAS’s trail: the area where these massive jets were released during its perihelion.

Whatever this interstellar object has brought with it from goodness knows where, we are heading right into it in around four months’ time!

It raises fascinating questions: Is this similar to how Earth may originally have been seeded with the raw materials for life? And how might this interaction affect us now?

Science isn’t able to answer these questions, and so we don’t know.

But intuitively, based on the guidance I have received in my shamanic journeys, and the synchronicities with last night’s earthquake, I have a deep knowing running right through the core of me:

Help is on its way.

  • Atlas3i is so cosmic and far out, l couldn’t get my head around it when l first heard about it, (a few months ago) l love the idea that the earth may be responding to Atlas energy, some say its actually hollow.
    That could be just because our science is not advanced enough to grasp its “mission”… my imagination goes skyward thinking about it.
    Yes, yes it’s very exciting…🙂😚

  • I thought of you when my mum told me there had been an earthquake near Silverdale. I wasn’t aware Warton was the epicentre or about all the 2s and 3s and the links to the solar flares. Very interesting.

    An interesting coincidence for me was that I’ve just drafted an epic novel called The Lost Shrine of Nodens. It’s based around the theory that the two Romano-British silver statuettes dedicated to Nodens found on Cockersand Moss were from a shrine that lay out to sea somewhere out on Morecambe Bay near Cockersand Abbey Chapter House and was washed away by the earthquake on Sept 6th 543AD (recorded by Roper) that caused the flooding of Cantre’r Gwaelod and the area around Rossall Point both of which have sunken forests as evidence. If feels like a warning about history repeating itself. So possibly the 3IATLAS is accentuating this…

  • Wonderful read Nicola and things need to change, the world seems to have gone mad, it’s not sustainable and I long for change. Let’s hope that 31/Atlas brings incredible things and the help we need.

    • This is so interesting to hear Mog. I have had some great nights sleep since too – right the way through for 3 nights in a row, which is unheard of for me.

  • Fascinating read Nicola and such an interesting subject.
    We live just a couple of miles from the San Andreas Fault in
    California and have hiked over the mountains to explore around
    the fault which is surrounded by dry desert but on the fault line
    there are healthy Palm trees growing, very strange!
    The mystery of nature. Thank you.

  • Thank you so much Nicola for sharing all of this fascinating information. It blows my mind and gives me hope! As I read about the earthquake you experienced it made me think about yours and Jason’s recent shamanic journeys where you both saw crumbling towers, and Jason’s becoming nature poetic pause this week when there was a rockfall whilst he was reading a poem and now an earthquake too. Lots of things falling, crumbling and rumbling!
    Also occurs to me how similar excitement and fear can feel and almost spill into one another sometimes…and also these key pieces of information you are passing on to us will help us to choose to be more excited than fearful….makes me feel privileged and want to spread the word to others so that they have all the info and are in a position to choose too.
    About 15 years ago I was staying at my parents house and it was just past midnight and there was an earthquake…I saw the shockwave pass through the room. It was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever experienced! Have to say I was both fearful and excited!
    Interesting how it happened at 23:23. For some reason yesterday I kept writing the date as 12/12 over and over….. not usual for me to get that wrong and no idea why?! I hope your move on that date goes well Alison 😊

  • Oh my goodness Nicola, things really are happening – & about time too. I certainly share your excitement. Many of us accept that life as we know it right now can not continue, it’s unsustainable. I was so hoping during covid that changes would be made but sadly things went back to ‘normal’. I feel quite desperate at times for major changes, even if they’re difficult because change is vital if we are survive. I’m glad I can share my excitement with you & our community as there’s no one at home who would get it. At least you have Jason, although I can imagine him trying to keep you grounded 😁x

    • Ha ha, I am not sure even Jason was staying rounded yesterday! Being at the epicentre of the Earth trembling was quite a thing 🙂 But yes, he does have a calming impact for sure. I know what you mean about not being able to speak of these things with folk. I am very vocal here in my community but keeping quiet with anyone who isn’t on a spiritual path. I would sound barking mad to them! It is so lovely to share this excitement with you Gaynor 🙂

  • A great read, Nicola.
    Sooo interesting and exciting.
    I’ve been very out of sorts for much of this year and can relate.
    Also moving into no.3 on 12/12/2025!
    Prophetic times indeed.

  • Haha fellow fruit loop here – Fabulous article Nicola. I immediately thought of you both this morning when I read the news. Astrologically, we are now exactly halfway between eclipses season (exact tomorrow but activated today by the Full Moon) and it is a time that often corresponds to Earth events such as earthquakes and volcanoes and so on. It’s often seen as a release of karmic tension, a push to move away from old stuck patterns to a more fulfilling path. Just thinking too that today’s full moon is in Gemini – the sign of the Twins – another number two but it’s the third sign of the zodiac. 2 & 3 again.
    How interesting with asteroid Bennu as well. It’s currently in Capricorn – a sign associated with wisdom, experience, foundations and structure.

    • What good company we are in Leah, fruit loops together 🙂 I love how you bring me the astrological perspective, which I am a complete fish out of water with but find so interesting, so thank you. There is that 2 and 3 again. Asteroid Bennu is really intriguing, and that this information has come to light right now, when so many more people are paying attention. That is also interesting to hear the alignment between the time between the eclipses and earthquakes and volcanoes. It did feel like a release on Wednesday night.

  • Nicola, Brian May’s Thesis on Astrophysics ….Completed in 2007 was on space dust.
    Your information that the Earth will pass through debris or dust in the first Months of next year is a case or forewarned is forarmed. We certainly need to think of how we may cope with darker skies. Our sun from my memories of childhood was more yellow…the sunsets in Margate , always affected by dust storms in the Sahara , have been as beautiful as ever, recently.

    Anyway we may all think of investing in light boxs; and sprouting seeds in 2026 and remembering to look after our gardens as much as possible and we may also have to think of how we will cope if the satellites around earth are taken down by natural space junk. History tells us that…the dark ages literally were darker than now. Forwarned is forarmed.

    • Thanks for your reflections here Miranda. How interesting about Brian May’s thesis. With the increase in volcanic activity, I was wondering about darker skies. Only today I was reading about this and the impact on crops in the 1400’s and what transpired as a result. Yes, forewarned is forearmed. It is so helpful to have the bigger picture.

  • I’ve been listening to Stephen Burns for a while, following his updates on 3I Atlas and the increased activity of the Sun/Schumann resonance.. Fascinating stuff. Really enjoyed your summary and thoughts 👍
    How exciting to experience the epicentre… I actually awoke at that time but not sure if just a coincidence as can’t say I felt anything! I’m in South Manchester so possibly not 🤔 Anyway, Thanks for your interesting musings!

    • How interesting you woke at that time Lynne. I have read it was felt as far away as Manchester, so maybe. Love you are enjoying Stefan Burns too. He is so engaging isn’t he, even though often I don’t entirely understand the detail of what he is talking about – when he gets right into the geophysics! Sometimes I listen twice just to help it go in more!

  • So needed to hear that. Have been so out of sorts lately I have at times doubted my sanity. Coupled with a debilitating lack of breath I have felt very alone. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Great gratitude.

  • Thank you so much for the update and clarity of info; I’m beyond excited! I need time to catch up with all the updates etc. Did you see the You Tube interview between Pam & Stefan, where she talks about the importance of nature connection and says she’s enrolled on a 2-year Shamanic training course? xx

    • I did! I enjoyed it a lot. Yes, Pam is focusing on embodiment and nature connection – coming down to Earth after being up there with the planets and stars 🙂

  • Wow I find it exciting too Nicola, I heard the earthquake here in Silverdale I thought it was an explosion at first because that’s what it sounded like, all our neighbours were outside wondering what had just happened. I’ve been following what you & Pam Gregory have been saying about 3i/Atlas and when I knew it was an earthquake of 3.3 that had happened in the area where I now live, where I was drawn to, I thought wow!
    Since last week we’ve had water coming in to the house, the roofer is unsure of the cause as yet, my friend suggested the house is purging itself of old emotions from previous occupants, maybe she is right, so I’m trying not to be bogged down worrying about what it all means and getting excited about the new energies coming our way. Thank you for your insight Nicola x

    • Ah, of course Maureen, you are right in it too. I missed the bang – it woke me up – but felt the shaking. What a bother with the water coming in. Good to focus on the positives 🙂

  • 31Atlas is part of the Hopi Indian prophecy (the blue kachina) and is here to raise the frequency and consciousness of humanity. Blessings to all xxxxx 💖🙏💖
