Twttr Wildfire

Will Twitter save us from ourselves? It has been called the fastest growing Internet company on the Internet as of last month. Last Month, Twitter celebrated a 3d Birthday according to the TwitterFacts Blog. http://twitterfacts.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html.

Haven't determined a time yet for the very first Twitter message. At 12:50 and 12:51 respectively 2 of the founders of Twitter logged on to their accounts (after lunch). These are the 20th and 21st Tweets that Twitter ever uttered (sorry, can't think of a witty rhyme).

Sun 1 Aries; Moon Sagittarius; NN 5 Aries

I likes the Fire. Maybe accounts for the brevity. Sun c. NN on the Aries Point, short, sweet, comes before the public. Moon in Sagittarius lends an International voice. The Aries-Libra Nodal Axis always has something to say about relationships through its push-me-pull-you struggle. What more uplifting in a time of recession to text message your favorite celebrity and perhaps almost immediately get a response. Okay, so there's Art and Spirituality and Education and stuff, but hey, this is America. We like to have fun. 140 words. How much can that hurt?

At 9am Gemini was Rising and there was a great t-square for a social networking website hanging out in the angular houses which is a strong influence. Mars was in the 1st House opposing the Moon 18 Sagittarius (H7) and squared by apex conjunction of Mercury-Uranus 14 - 12 Pisces. A t-square with a lot of high tech indicators. Mutable signs are very flexible. A Mercury-Uranus conjunction is also considered good for flash insights. The Mars and Moon add speed. Interesting all the fast planets are in aspect to outer planet Uranus in Pisces here which is one of the most intuition based placements for any of the planets in the chart. Interesting that Twitter is suddenly picking up popularity around the time of its Solar Return this as there was another Mercury-Uranus conjunction with the Sun on Mar. 21 this year. Maybe technical gliches were finally addressed.

So it's a great chart for super high techy genius. Oh, and I forgot, all these high techy Northern California geeks are Sweet, Gentle and Community minded people. It figures they would start up on a day that Chiron-Venus and Neptune were in conjunction in Aquarius. This perhaps explains the appeal through the Celebrities in our culture. Also adds an aesthetic liking for the Haiku 140 word limit of the messages. Saturn rules limitations and what you can do with very little and Saturn is in Leo here both dispositing to and trining the Sun (Vitality, Creativity) and also trining the North Node (Destiny)

Will Twitter lift our spirits now that blogs have become marketing scams by mediocre companies and people who can't write too good (thinking of myself of course, 3 planets Leo)?

On the Astrology Community I think that Neith and Pat over at RealAstrologers.com were twittering for a while. Am not sure if they're doing it now but you can check out their blog anyway. Great astrological insights.
