Happy Jupiter Return today, Facebook. Now you’re officially an adolescent! Every ~12 years, Jupiter, planet of fortune and purpose, comes back around the zodiac to meet up with natal Jupiter at the point where it is in the birth chart of a person or entity, and this is considered to be a time of fresh new inspiration, bountiful good luck, and the strong possibility of a major rebirth as new ideas and opportunities are unveiled.
Facebook was officially born on February 4, 2004 in Menlo Park, California. Since we have no official time, we use 12 PM for mundane horoscopes such as this. Another horoscope in use for Facebook which is more useful for tracking its monetary value is the chart for the first official trading day of its stock (May 18, 2012). And the other main chart used to track the karma of Facebook is the birth chart of Facebook cofounder, chairman, and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984 in White Plains, NY, time unknown).
For now, I am just looking at the original founding horoscope (see attached sidereal zodiac wheel-chart images) which is quite interesting in that Uranus in the Facebook chart (higher mind, inspiration, and connection) is exactly aligned with the Moon in the United States Kelleher birthchart, and it is the Moon which signifies the common people and mood of the nation. The Uranus-Moon conjunction occurs at ~7 degrees sidereal Aquarius, the sign of the water bearer which brings forth knowledge, energy, and power. Within Aquarius, the two align in Shatabisha nakshatra, which relates to broad vision, high technology, healing, and the oneness of humanity.
Today, Facebook reported record earnings in light of the latest stats claiming 1.55 billion “monthly active users” as of September 30, which is more than China’s population. At Facebook’s current growth rate of 14% year over year, Facebook will have 2 billion users in less than three years. Clearly, Facebook is maturing nicely into its adolescent phase.
Jupiter will conjoin natal Jupiter two more times after today due to its 2016 retrograde phase, so the three dates of Facebook’s Jupiter Return are:
1. Nov. 5, 2015
2. March 14, 2016 (Retro)
3. July 3, 2016
The next nine months will be a time of tremendous growth for Facebook, translating into innovative changes, financial reorganization, and new emerging roles. Facebook continues to expand into more markets as it fulfills Zuckerberg’s dream of connecting the whole world to combat inequality and poverty, and this year we will see progress toward this vision and many more surprises in store as Jupiter in its succession of return phases will conjoin Rahu, the Moon’s North Node, giving exponential power to Jupiter’s evolutionary potential. This adolescent is going to rock the world and is just getting started.
