Dragon – symbol of power, electricity and lightning
Following
a strong backlash for conceding they reduced the processing speed of aging
iPhones, Apple apologized to customers and lowered the price of the
out-of-warranty battery replacements by $50.
The
tech giant is currently facing nine lawsuits in relation to how the company
handles the power management of its batteries in older iPhones.
The
backlash against the California-headquartered concern began when a Reddit user
posted a report earlier this month, detailing how the performance of their old
iPhone increased dramatically after the battery was replaced. The post quickly
went viral and many followed suit, complaining about the same issue. Many
others have speculated that Apple was engaging in planned obsolescence to boost
sales of newer iPhone models. Dec 29 https://www.rt.com/usa/414507-apple-iphone-throttling-apology/
The following extract from Gabriela Herstik can help us
understand why the problem with aging iPhones came up during the recent Mercury
retrograde period.
Mercury Retrograde,
which lasts from December 3rd to 23rd, is when the planet
seems to be spinning backward. Mercury specifically rules over communication,
travel, and technology, so all of these things can go crazy — technology being
a big one. If you were wondering how Mercury Retrograde affects technology,
then simply look to Gwen’s song! Phones die suddenly, computer files are lost, and hard drives go
berserk. Technology goes haywire during Mercury Retrograde, and we’re left stressed
and confused, because how could our phone suddenly stall before a presentation?
How could our computer randomly crash right before finals? https://hellogiggles.com/lifestyle/mercury-retrograde-affect-technology/
What remains unexplained is why this happened for Apple’s iPhones.
To understand that we begin with the chart for Mercury station retrograde at Cupertino,
California, where Apple has its headquarters. Recalling the rule that aspects to angles are always the most important
factor in chart analysis, we notice a complex configuration affecting the
meridian axis and the descendant. TNP Admetus on the MC with Moon is in hard
aspect to TNP Zeus. Among other things, Admetus rules “storage and inventory”
while Zeus rules “power or energy” [1] so that together the combination here is
referring to batteries. Moreover, the TNP Zeus is conjunct the stars of Draco,
the dragon.
About this area Diana Rosenberg [1] writes:
There is electricity
in these stars, an intensity and brilliance that illuminates the brooding
landscape of mankind’s travail on Earth…This is an area of physics and
inventions, especially those connected to electricity, power sources, light and
lightning.
It may be recalled that the ancient mythical dragon has been
linked to lightning (see image above) and therefore by association with
electricity.
Next, we look at Neptune on the descendant making a hard aspect to Uranus which is opposite the
Mars-Zeus conjunction. Reinhold Ebertin in his Combination of Stellar
Influences links Mars-Neptune-Uranus with “states of weakness emerging suddenly”[3].
Finally, let us remember that Mercury (phones) stationed in
conjunction to Saturn – the planet which rules old age so that “aging” iPhones
are the ones affected!
