DeepSeek (January 10, 2025)

They say that the Chinese have ingenuity. What they also have is the ability to spy on western industries and ‘borrow’ ideas (and even computer programs). The chosen icon for the DeepSeek app is a whale. Hmm.

On January 10th, this year, DeepSeek offered a free app for the public to download its chat program. Within two weeks, this program became the most popular addition to the world’s downloads.

I suspect the event Mars being in opposition to both Sun and Pluto gave this program its aggressive action against other chat programs. At the same time, there is an inconjunct linking the Moon and Mercury. That may be significant.

Moon Inconjunct Mercury

You [the public] shouldn’t allow your feelings to overrun your reason. The best thing to do whenever there seems to be a conflict between these two areas is to not make a decision immediately. Reflect and wait for further information that might help you make up your mind.

That whale has swallowed the competition.
