It appears to me that the news over the past few weeks has focused heavily on water. A steampipe bursts in NYC. A bridge in Minnesota collapses, sending commuter traffic into the river. Floods in India, China, Nepal and the UK evacuate millions of people. Baghdad is now without running water due to an overstrained electricity system.

I also have anecdotal evidence of an increased number of sudden deaths.

All of this comes at a time when Mars has been locked in a T-square with Saturn and Neptune. (The Saturn/Neptune opposition is known for weather anomalies as the dryness of Saturn confronts Neptune’s moisture.) That influence begins to fade this weekend and hopefully things will get back to “normal.”
