Death of Corvus, the Raven, signals the end of Facebook




Facebook’s growth will eventually come to a quick end, much like an infectious disease that spreads rapidly and suddenly dies, say Princeton researchers who are using diseases to model the life-cycles of social media. Disease models can be used to understand the mass adoption and subsequent flight from online social networks, researchers at Princeton’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering say in a study released Jan. 17.







To understand this news we will look at it through the lens of  the current sidereal Capricorn Ingress (Capsolar) at Princeton. Notice the powerful Grand Cross on the angles. Regular readers by now know that Uranus-Pluto square in the Cross is associated with endings and new beginnings. But the more relevant placement here is the star Algorab, delta Corvi [13li37] conjunct  the Ascendant [14li10] and Mars [17li].

The Crow-Raven is a talking bird hence its association with message bearing. According to one version of a myth, Apollo – the Sun God – was so furious with the crow’s chattering and tale bearing that he shot an arrow into the crow, killing it but then rewarded the faithful bird by placing it among the stars.

In a modern version wouldn’t the online social networks (OSN) with their incessant chatter come under Corvus – the Raven? And if so the Uranus-Pluto signals the end of OSNs as identified by the Princeton study.
