For reference, we will again see this awesome Austin, Texas chart:
We are interested today in the second house, which is the house of possessions. Normally, the second house concerns "Stuff I feel like I own and/or value--and therefore own". It is usually ruled by Taurus, the Bull. It tends to like "nice things" like luxury items and green kinds of fields, like bulls do. Of course, if things don't work out well here, the bull can see red, and then matters can get hairy.
In the referenced chart, we have Gemini here, which means where the birth of Austin, Texas is concerned there is a feeling of "owning information". Put differently, this would be also "owning communication". Issue here, however, is that that pesky key sign shows up meaning that there is an "injury here". Most folks born between the years of 1988-92 have this wound in Gemini, and of course this is when the internet really started galloping out of the stall to wreak havoc on the world of publishing. Austin, then, would have seen many variations of this theme and so, perceiving some manner of this wound, was an incubator for Stacker.News so that people might be able to actually value the news that is valuable.
There are stresses present here between the sixth and eleventh house and this probably concerns discussions over who owns what. Here, there are territories that a person can "own" but of course these territories are only as ownable as the existence of stacker news makes them. The danger here is that that stacker news could become some kind of information broker and become the "new corrupt press". The blessing, on the other hand, is potentially not doing that and making sure the information stays centered on "people in general" where that information rightly belongs in that sphere.
Mercury, though, is in opposition, which is bad news, since it governs communication there in the ninth-almost the eighth house which says "we kinda like keeping certain things secret". Maybe there is a "cult of Austin, Texas stacker.news" that we don't know about. Indeed, bitcoin itself sometimes seems to have this quality. There are dangers here in that whatever information is supplied it might become embroiled in "Secrets and who owns what". Can you think of any institutions that might play that kind of hanky panky? I bet you can.
Gemini is all about the communication, and so a good gauge is how well understanding flows on the basis of the communication here presented. (in this forum) Ultimately, the superstructure that must be comprehended is "freedom of the press" and "information" and people receiving value for providing that. Otherwise, if the information is collective, why does one person get valued and another person receives nothing? In tribal cultures, the shamans are a little like the press in that they have the news that concerns the tribe. This leads us to a corollary--do not piss off the village shaman. If you value him/her make sure that you honor the spirit/spirits by bringing them a gift. Otherwise, you might get some "fake news".
Great share. I trust that the folks behind stacker are going to take care of us. And I think this is essentially a special secret place.

Faith is important, but that's for another house!
