Remember the when the iPhone was launched with Mercury retrograde. Astrologers advised not buying one… a no brainer, here are the blog:

Launching The iPhone With Mercury Retrograde - Whoops

Now, two months later the price drops $200. Customers are pissed, which creates a public relations nightmare for Apple.

From the Associated Press:

Apple’s Jobs Sorry for iPhone Price Cut

“Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs apologized and offered $100 credits Thursday to customers who shelled out $599 for the most advanced model of the iPhone this summer, only to have the company unexpectedly slash the price $200 in a push to boost holiday sales…”

Astrologers were talking about the poor timing on the release of the iPhone…

“You might just want to wait until we see just how operable this new communications product really is. After all, you are all in awareness that it is currently a Mercury Retrograde period, so one can be sure there are some wrinkles in this product to be ironed out first. Now why would one want to initiate a new communication contract under such an astrological transit?”

The Moon is in Sagittarius today and smushed between Jupiter and Pluto which will form a conjunction with the Galactic Center in December, 2007. If you have planets at the later degrees of the Mutable signs you are probably pretty twitchy today, especially with Uranus in aspect to the Moon as well.

You might say these are exciting times except the Moon (the tummy) does not really like to be excited, does it?

On other fronts, astrologer, Misty Kuceris wrote about today’s release of the iPhone. She feels this is a lousy day for a launch with Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto retrograde along with the Moon void-of-course and the Venus Saturn tango with Neptune. Can’t say I disagree. I guess time will tell.
