Recently I wondered just where all the visitors to this site come from. I knew that a majority come from English-speaking countries, but also from many others as well. Over a few days I tracked the visitors to this site, and was astonished at the wide diversity coming from every corner of the world. Today I figured I'd publish the results.
This site has people coming in from all over the place on 6 continents! To note, quite a few each day visit with IP, ISP, continents, countries, and latitude/longitude unknown. I did find that almost all of these showed English-speaking origins, though there were also unknown visitors from Eastern Europe. And many just stated the origin as 38N latitude and 97W longitude, which is around Wichita, Kansas. (I suspect there's not a huge astrological community there, but it may be a routing station for a search engine...)
I was astounded that so many obscure places have fans of the site. And many countries (including South Africa, Pakistan, many countries in Europe and more) have quite a few different people and places checking in, so the community is not confined to merely one city in a country or even one person in a city.
Enjoy perusing the countries in our global community! If anyone checking in doesn't find their country in this list, by all means tell me and I'll add it! And if you are endangered by your country being listed because it could get you into trouble, I'll delete it from the list....

And there you have it as of October, 2009! It would seem that our community is quite large, diverse, and (I'm sure!) very metaphysical. Of course, I'm looking forward to being able someday to visit the places I can and meet as many of our community as possible. Until then, be seeing you here at the Spiritual roadhouse and cantina.....

How wonderful that our little community here is not so little! This really illustrates how people from all walks, all cultures and backgrounds, all economic groups and all societies can live and discuss and commune in peace and love when the atmosphere is right and mutual respect prevails. Thank you so much, Robert, for giving us this slice of nirvana.

Dear Robert,
I am not surprised you have a global following. Your site is the right mix of astrology, philosophy, spiritualism, hope and wisdom. It converges both Western and Eastern philosophies. And most importantly,it manages to convey spirituality that touches the rational mind.
In my mind that is the secret behind the universal appeal. So keep up the good work and look forward to more good reading.

Ana - I'm with you on the Telepathy :-)

Greetings from the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. A special shout out to anyone who reads this and remembers sitting on the floor at Barrow in Austin Texas in 1975 listening to Robert spin The Who, The Beatles,the Kinks,and The Animals, while talking metaphysics. Who would have thunk it? Congrats on a job still being well done. What a long strange trip it's been. All My relations. dcu

Robert, I'm not surprised; you're the greatest teacher and most knowledgeable astrologer and metaphysician I've come across in ages. Every day I learn something from you. I appreciate YOU!
Posted by: J. Sue Gagliardi | October 24, 2009 at 09:56 AM
Hi all - Thanks to everyone who has left comments. Since posting this, I added a few countries that have checked in since then, including 2 more from Africa and 2 more from S. America. I suppose we are truly "Gaians!" As for Trinidad, I originally used the Spanish "Y" for "and" since that's the way I learned it years ago (though I've now changed it to the English.) I never saw Serbia on the referrer list, so it may be that the server is "unknown" or one of those that simply says "Europe." So many great people from all over the world......

Robert, the work you craft & share here on Aquarius Papers has been staple reading for me for several years now, whatever part of the globe I find myself in. In my opinion you are Essential Reading. I have learnt so much from you, been given much-needed `heads up` at critical junctures, had countless `ahhh, thats why!!?!` moments when discovering a new piece of cosmic machinery that you bring to the table. The star/soul map you share with such good humour & care really is a digital touchstone, how awesome to see just how global your readership is! I`m very grateful to be one of them. Thankyou so much for being You!! If you`re ever in NZ you have a personal tour-guide on call, just sing out! :-)

.... " imagine all the people..." as John Lennon sang...This is truly magnificent news Robert tho not at all surprising given the amount of heart, soul, body & mind that you gift & convey in word/thru the ethers. Love to all & for all ;-)

What a day for this reader in the Great Lakes region of North America. This zoom out is awesome. And now today after years of zooming in only to dissolve the focus of each zoom in, BAM! The direction of my work bursts into the continuous thread of evolution. The time constraints and pressure of "responsibility for" gives way to my individual contribution. I think I can better function as member of the biosphere without the needless pressures. May have to do with Saturn moving to my 11th? A large community indeed. It is good to feel the air. Stokes my fire.

Robert, interesting information. But, i would find it interesting to know if there is a preponderance of people that visit the site with a particular sign rising/MC/Sun. Wouldn't that be a cool statistic to gather? :-)

Hi all - Great global family! Richard, that would be just too much information to correlate, since each finds their way here for entirely different reasons, and return or don't for equally different reasons. Some find their way here due to a generic or specific transit, some from a progression in their chart.
Some stumble onto this column through a search engine, or a link from another column, or have seen or heard a talk I've given somewhere. Some are nudged by the moment, find me, then never return, occasionally return, or regularly return. Others are devoted astrologers who found me, and perhaps recommended others, while others are my clients who told their family, etc.
Then there are the Truth seeking Souls who are looking for something to apply to make themselves, their relationships, and their worldly effectiveness more Spiritual. Mostly, I believe the 10,000+ visitors who come here each week are somehow in harmony with my chart, since I am the one generating the signal. And most definitely we ALL share certain Ray and Sub-Ray inclinations, since that's the nature of a Spiritual Sangha.
