I was wondering what others are thinking of the current astral condition. Early this year it seemed to be clearing up a bit, but now it feels absolutely putrid and I've seen a number of other people remarking on it. What characterizes it now seems like an intense sense of foreboding, the feeling that something terrible and unknown approaching. I've found banishing rituals only clear it up for a short time but it's most intense when lying down to sleep or waking up, daily routines can usually distract from it. Its "odor" seems similar to the specters of the pandemic but at the same time not identical.

Also, this may be completely random but I feel like whenever something really violent (more than usual) is going on in other parts of the world this sense diminishes somewhat. It could be that whatever this stuff is is drawn toward these events when they happen and thus less troublesome to people not involved.
