The end of social network Orkut



Corvus – the Messenger Bird


Looking to shift more attention to the Google+ social network, Google will be officially shutting down the Orkut social network as of September 30, 2014 and will not be allowing anyone to create an Orkut account as of July 2014. Created approximately 10 years ago within the Web company, the social network became somewhat popular outside of the United States, particularly within India and Brazil. Of course, the launch of Google+ pushed Orkut to the sidelines in the U.S. even more. In fact, it’s surprising that Google has allowed Orkut to exist for an entire 10-year span due to the lack of interest from potential users within North America, Europe and the majority of Asia. http://bit.ly/1sql93l Digital Trends; June 30



The progression of the Capricorn ingress chart is a valuable tool for understanding  the deeper reasons behind day to day events. Shown here is the progressed Capricorn Ingress chart at Mountain View,CA – the location of Google’s  headquarters.




Notice that a Grand Cross has arrived on the angles on the date of news. On the Ascendant [8li] is the star Gienah, gamma Corvi of Corvus the Crow. The Crow-Raven is a talking bird hence its association with intelligence and message bearing.
For the stars on the MC and the current New Moon, (June 27)  Nick Fiorenza writes:

This New Moon occurs in the Gemini Twins, Castor and Pollux. The Twins are of high intensity intellectual communication, information, commerce, goods and services and of their exchange. The Twins are of partnerships in mutual cooperation, linking and uniting efforts through their daily affairs in the world. The Twins work hand-in-hand for the betterment and evolutionary fulfillment of humankind.

Combining some of the other elements on the angles we have:

Hades/Uranus : to see the decline (Hades)  of a innovative (Uranus) idea

Uranus/Pluto: With Pluto ruling “obsolescence” or “death” and Uranus “technology” we have the end of some technology.

But the most interesting bit comes from the stars delta[7ar14]  and alpha [7ar40] Reticulum that are conjunct Uranus [8ar36]


Reticulum means a netlike formation or structure; a network. A reticle was a scientific instrument used to measure star positions, a grid of fine lines in the focus of an optical instrument, used for determining the scale or position of what is being looked at. The grid lines of meridians and parallels lines on a map is sometimes referred to as a net.

"In Ancient Rome a class of gladiator, the retiarius, was armed with a net which he used to immobilize his opponent by entangling him in the meshes, thus placing him at his mercy", "Nets may also be compared with the web in which spiders lurk for prey" [Penguin Dictionary of Symbols].



Putting the pieces together we have a network (Reticulum) of high intensity information exchange (Twins)  and message bearing (Corvus) that has become obsolete (Pluto-Uranus).
