Astrology of the iPhone
The iPhone looks like one of the most revolutionary devices in history. I've been watching Steve Jobs' very long presentation, and I'm just blown away.Steve started his MacWorld 2007 keynote address on January 9, 2007 at 9 am in San Francisco. (View chart.)
- Uranus square Jupiter. Uranus-Jupiter aspects are notable for breakthrough technologies.
- Aquarius on the Ascendant. Aquarius rules computers. Aquarian endeavors are ahead of their time.
- Neptune Rising. This is a multimedia phone, on which you can view photos, listen to music, watch movies, view Google maps, and surf the internet. Neptune also relates to idealism, and the iPhone is like a fantasy made real. The "real" part is Neptune's opposition to Saturn. A lot of hard work went into making this dream reality.
- Pluto-Mars conjunct in Sagittarius. This phone will transform (Pluto) the way we act in the world (Mars), giving us the freedom (Sagittarius) to do much of what a Mac does -- anywhere.
- Pluto-Mars square Moon in Virgo. The Moon in Virgo relates to our need to get tasks done, to stay organized, to be practical. The iPhone is a combination wide-screen iPod, cell phone, and internet communications device. It doesn't really address the needs of someone who's got to keep track of to-do lists, word docs and spreadsheets -- things you can do, for example, on the Treo. The iPhone expands the possibilities for multimedia on-the-go, but it's not going to meet our task-oriented needs.
- Sun-Mercury conjunction in Capricorn. It's a phone (Mercury) that wants to be noticed (Sun); phone as status symbol (Capricorn). It is also notable that this phone distinguishes itself by how we use our fingers (Mercury).
- Venus in Aquarius. The iPhone attracts (Venus) by being different (Aquarius).

You didn't note the significance of the Mercury-sun conjunction in terms of the Mercury retrograde cycle, which unfortunately is going to play a big part in this release. Mercury enters the shadow in the beginning of June, when it's supposed to be released, and then it goes retrograde on the 15th. I fear the technical difficulties that will arise, and I'll wait a few months to see what goes wrong before I consider getting one.
Good point, Kirk. I didn't think to look at when the phone will actually be available to the public.
For readers who don't know what a "shadow" is: Mercury stations retrograde on 6/15 at 11 Cancer, then stations direct on 7/9 at 2 Cancer. Mercury enters its shadow when it first hits 2 Cancer, which is the day before June. It leaves its shadow when it finally passes 11 Cancer, which is on 7/24.
So it would a wise decision to wait until August to see what goes wrong with the iPhone.
