Facebook - outages and whistle-blowers

Amanda Williams • Oct 07, 2021

A look at the challenges for Facebook in October 2021

Still continuing my Neptune and Media themes, I thought it would be interesting to look at Facebook’s chart for this week. With both whistle-blower testimonies and a significant outage across all its platforms, we’d expect for some pretty interesting astrology.

There are two main charts for Facebook ( ignoring its short lived predecessor Face and its legal foundation). The first is its launch at Harvard on 4 Feb 2004 and the second its first trade chart on 18 May 2012.

We would expect to see both Uranus and probably Neptune prominent in the outage, perhaps also Mercury and Jupiter given its significance. Pluto may be relevant to the whistleblowing and Saturn may also show up as important in an outage.

Starting with the foundation chart we can compare it to both the progressions and transits this week. I’ve chosen the outage start time for added interest.


We can immediately see Uranus at 13 Taurus ( quincunx transiting Mars/Sun – also the degree of the impending new moon) conjunct the progressed Mars ( and the Node) and square Neptune. Honestly we could just stop there. Isn’t it fascinating how Mars shows up with Neptune in so many of these media event charts. 


But we can also see That transiting Neptune ( quincunx Mercury) is square Foundation Pluto-a good description of the whistleblowing. And transiting Saturn is quincunx Natal/progressed Saturn, also aspecting both the progressed MC ( publIc image) and at the time of the outage sextile the Ascendant. Frankly they had no chance!!



Of course, we aren’t surprised to find more of the same. Uranus is now trine Progressed Mars ( not as serious but once more activated by the Mar/Sun conjunction). The Ascendant of the Outtage is conjunct the North node in this case. 


A certain amount of caution is required here though. We see that Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto, all around 23 degrees, are also aspecting the natal Sun, progressed Ascendant, Saturn and Venus. Big stuff. But these are longer lasting aspects and we already have big stuff in terms of the share price, we need more to indicate something specific on the day. Fortunately ( or unfortunately if you are a shareholder) Mercury obliges at 21 Libra- activating all the above.


We can also see how Saturn once again taps into this chart. This time it is trine the progressed Sun/Mercury and sextile the chart’s Uranus. Not too serious, but it is also square the MC much tougher proposition. Although facebook is up over the year, this Saturn station has pulled it down over the month. 



Once again the astrology has favoured us with its brilliance.
