Thirteen people missing in California are feared to be under the spell of a fringe religious sect and involved in a mass suicide after notes were found referring to “going to heaven” and “the end of the world.”  read more here…

The timing of this event is interesting because of the conjunction of Jupiter (confidence and expansion) in Uranus (radical and unusual beliefs).  The Heavens Gate incident in 1997 in which 39 members of a cult committed mass suicide also occurred under a conjunction of Jupiter to Uranus. 

Update: the members are all safe and accounted for, but the leader is beingheld for questioning and mental evaluation.
