Mars-Saturn conjunct Antares same day...
If you hold any inclination to tie astrology to world events and natural disasters like this.
RIP
I thought they were Catholic.
Still... earthquakes will happen as long
as we're on earth, don't you think?
I notice that more religious areas tend to also be places prone to natural disasters. my theory on that is, when your environment is fickle and prone to random destruction, there's little that science can do to stop it, and all you can do is pray.
There's no reason at all, other than geological. They're just in a bad (earthquake prone) area. Especially near the mountains, it's a mass of fault lines and fractured rock. The place has already experienced significant earthquakes.
It's heartbreaking stuff. I have a lot of Italian friends (big community in and around Toronto) and have been checking up on them today regarding their relatives overseas. So far so good, Thank God.
I agree totally, so sad, and these towns are built on and around hills with lots of concrete and roads and all intertwined - it makes for al the beauty which you can still see in what is left standing in the pictures - but the devastation trail and the lives lost in such a tragic event leaves me silent in my thoughts and prayers ...
I'm not too far from the epicentre, I just donated a blood sack in case someone needs it.
Yeah just heard about this in the morning, so sad. 😢

How faraway have the aftershocks been felt?
As in only people in the southwest felt the aftershocks or people east of the epicenter too?

East as well, Marche mostly.

That's not a very good observation

Not so much in Abbruzzo, right?
I haven't found a good map illustrating where was hit

I spoke yesterday with some old friend living in the Abruzzi region - actually half of family was originally from there too - and they told me they felt strongly the aftershocks mostly in the northern part of the region - close to Teramo -
Here's the most useful link for info.

Sick line, I approve this post.
Posted by Redoctober2000What on earth has this got to do with God?
It's a natural disaster!! God has nothing to do with it!!
so is it pointless to ask god to protect us and our loves ones from natural disasters?
From the flood in Louisiana I've been volunteering for to this. The Earth is pissed. 😢

Why God/Universe, why.
The religious demographic is 91.6% Christianity, so I don't think God was angry.
This occurred with the Sun in Virgo, Mars in Sagittarius and Moon in Taurus. I don't see any vengeful Scorpio or Cancer placements during this event, so I'm not sure if it's the universe either.
Is it scientific? Like global warming or something?
Just why.
