Yes I've been noticing this too on other spiritually oriented forums and
lists. Some are even astrological lists. It's as if some global form
of Videshan has been evoked to create differences between people all
over the planet (since most of these lists and groups are global).
Needless to say there is a lot of world tension these days plus a lot
people who believe in various forms of "end times" be it the apocalypse,
Mayan calendar or whatever. That creates a group consciousness ("be
care for what you wish for as it might manifest"). Astrologically since
there is no world chart I can't see it pinning in on anything there.
I'm sure you will get some replies from astrologers whose reasons may
hold water about as well as a fishing net. I believe it all boils down
to one thing and that is overpopulation. The current infrastructure
cannot handle it well and much change needs to be done for the human
race to continue. Note that some people believe this has happened
before though it may not be easy to find the evidence. For the next
few years or decades the struggle to survive may predominate.
