I'm gonna post a picture of a tree! Nah, I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna do this instead:
The Eleventh house is the one I'm interested in today, and we are gonna kinda "cheat here" and talk about Neptune since I didn't talk about it in the Tenth although that's where it is. I didn't do that, because well, Neptune is in Aquarius and the 11th is split between it and Pisces, with Uranus sitting in Pisces territory although it rules Aquarius, and Neptune sitting in Aquarius although it tends to rule Pisces. (In the modern systems anyway) So, there is a kind of mutual interception happening here. Both guests are almost in the exalted positions of their respective house placements, but they switched seats at the last second. Still, it makes the 11th house really stand out in this chart. Neptune is considered conjunct Venus, and so we see in the 11th house a certain high predisposition of love for humanity or progressive values that tie to those ideals being present. The catch here is, however, that it really has to be kinda weird and humanitarian for it to really "work".
Uranus is square Saturn, which creates a kind of rebellion, and so it would make sense that Austin would be full of people with some kind of spiritual karma who are rebellious and consider themselves to be representing some kind of human ideal. Again, I've never been to Austin, so I cannot say whether or not that is true, but it does seem to be the case that one finds Austin in the middle of lots of technological happenings in the past thirty or forty years. The internet often has a kind of correlation to human rights and Aquarius, since it is literally technological which is something Aquarius has a "thing for".
Neptune is going to add a dreamy flavor to all this, which might manifest as "tech dreams" or "tech visions" or humanitarian versions of both. Probably, they won't be delusions, but likely they are rebellions from established norms. Rebelling for the sake of rebelling doesn't help anyone in the end, which is something the technological trends are beginning to slowly discover. When Humanitarian values bump up against the wallet, often people vote with their wallet instead of with humanity. This is another potential area of issue created in part due to that second house of values wounding.
One would expect some manner of industry to have been present in Austin previous to the computer business, and perhaps this might have had something to do with space or space exploration or possibly colleges that were tied to such matters. Again, if anyone has first had experience of Austin, it'd be awesome if they wanted to post some of their observations up.

Seems like a spot-on reading with what I know about Austin, the presence of NASA and space exploration companies in TX, and of course the tech industry there. I would love to hear from someone local, I’ve never been either.

The interesting part would be prior to the industrial revolution since some tribe that was different would have had to have been present then too...
