As Halley's comet was regarded as an omen for the defeat of the Saxon king Harald and the 1006 bright supernova in Scorpio was regarded as a bad omen and was accompanied with wars and famine in both Europe and Arabia and the 1997 Hale-Bopp comet resulted in the Heaven's Gate suicides, I wonder how astrologers or all kinds of semi-religious groups would regards this upcoming spectacle. Tycho Brahe predicted succesfully that the 1572 supernova would herald the decline of the Roman Catholic Church.
What will happen in 2022, a New World Order... or another day of the Triffids?

- daveguy 10y agoGood point. I think that depends entirely on how batshit crazy the human response is. Hopefully very little, but 5 years is plenty of time for people to come up with some self fulfilling prophecies / build a cult.
- Cpoll 10y agoYou said it yourself though; we've gone from "bad omen blamed for catastrophic event" to "a handful of cult members committed suicide". With that extrapolation, I can't imagine this will be the catalyst for much.
