I've heard many theories, chief of which is that Neptune is in retrograde. There has to be more to it though, because I've seen too many people be handed far too much additional stress.

It's not even just occurring around me. People I know, even people I've only just met seem to be having a tough time. I might be imagining things, but it seems to be in the news, and on the net too. Did someone go and open a gate to hell, or summon a great old one while nobody was looking?

Seriously, if someone stumbles on this quiet, dusty corner of the internet and has any ideas, please let me know!
