The last time collective mood was in the Global Disaster Zone, there were the violent storms in the U.S. called Walda followed by the Boston Marathon event, the West Texas fertilizer plant explosion, and then devastating earthquakes in Iran and China. Before that was a superstorm called Sandy. What will happen this time?
At the place we are in for about the next ten days, global disasters are more likely than not. And because the source of this data is U.S. mood, it indicates when events especially impactful to people in the United States should occur.
The themes of events likely to occur at the hands of human beings are organized or directed violence and the experience of victimization or vulnerability. This could also show up as social instability (e.g. angry protests) or market volatility (violent market moves). Events likely to occur in Nature should reflect themes of fire and/or flood (e.g. volcanoes, violent storms, and possibly earthquakes). There is also a background natural theme of epidemic, health, and mortality.
There are more details on the likely disasters in the previous two posts, so let's not belabor that here. When disasters affect us personally they are tragic, but the point of this is not that we are all doomed. The point is how amazing it is that our world is connected to us and we are to it. Disasters are a built in way to get our attention and remind us that we have become disconnected again. When the rubber band gets pulled to these extremes and released, we all get relatively more connected for a moment. It would be a really cool thing if there was a time in our not too distant future that we could remind ourselves somehow before the disconnection was so great as to put these things in motion.

Collective mood cycles from extreme disconnection from the events happening in the world around us (the news) to a reconciliation where we "wake up" to events that grab our attention or impact us at a deep emotional level. Like a rubber band being stretched and released, the farther we go during the disconnection phase, the more impactful the reconciliation tends to be.At the place we are in for about the next ten days, global disasters are more likely than not.
