Jupiter Square Neptune, And The Hacking Of Jack Dorsey

Jupiter has turned direct, and that means we are approaching the final exact hit of the Jupiter-Neptune square. This means that we are likely to see a lot more delusion out there, and as a result, a lot of rugs are going to get yanked out from under us. This is especially true if you have your natal Neptune between 10-20 degrees Sagittarius, where Jupiter is now.

Case in point: suppose you’re Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, born November 19th, 1976 at 1:43 PM in St. Louis Missouri. You’ve been grilled at length about privacy and security issues. You’re naturally concerned with looking as upright and secure as possible. You use a dual log-in system that naturally makes your own Twitter account extra secure.

But hey: no one is perfect, and maybe you got a little cocky. With transiting Jupiter now within two degrees of your natal Jupiter, your lack of sufficient foresight suddenly becomes very clear.

And then at 12:44 PM Pacific time today, your own account — @jack — gets hacked. The account begins to spew racist and anti-semitic comments, and drops a casual bomb threat along the way. But hey, it worked out all right, and within a mere twenty minutes your staff has the situation under control and is able to delete the fake tweets and restore a sense of order.

Whew! What a relief! It’s a good thing no influential politicians ever use Twitter, because if this hadn’t been the @jack account, or if the hackers had been a little better equipped, this could have taken a lot longer to straighten out.

FUN FACT: The United States and Russia are only about 30 minutes apart, as the ICBM flies.

So, watch out for any delusions that may be lurking in your own personal or professional life, as the Jupiter-Neptune square will be making more fools of many of us before it’s done.

UPDATE: it actually took 20 minutes for Twitter to confirm the hack. That was one hour and 36 minutes after the hack actually happened.  Oops.
