There was a time when social media was single-handedly ruled by Facebook. It was the success story of the digital revolution, where it became one of the most valuable companies, beginning from the dorm room of Harvard University! An Exalted Saturn in the founder Mark Zuckerberg’s birth chart along with a better placed Sun may have taken him and his innovation to this journey!
Today, there are 1.9 billion daily users of the platform, despite the competition like Google and Twitter growing stronger. For all these giants, we can draw out some excellent astrological similarities, too.
Moreover, Facebook is not just now limited to being a social media website. It also has apps like Instagram and WhatsApp under its umbrella. With tremendous success, the brand has also been under some scrutiny with governments of the world, mostly because of the concerns over the privacy issues of user data.

Facebook Name Change: Why?
Team Zuckerberg say that they are trying to create a three dimensional virtual world where users can create their avatars and interact with people. It would not be limited to using the internet on your phone and computer, but being a part of the internet instead. That’s where the name ‘Meta’ comes from, ‘the Metaverse’. The word comes from a 1992 Neal Stephenson novel ‘Snow Crash’, where it represents an encapsulation of a 3D digital world into real-life.
What Does the Name Change Mean for Facebook’s Future?
At the time Facebook’s name was changed (Oct 28, 2021), the chart that is created with the new name is of Cancer sign.
