Good Morning readers! January is almost up and it’s the horoscope month of Aquarius. I’m pretty acquainted with this particular sign because well, it’s mine. I always felt kind of at odds with this particular sign, how it’s equated to space and aliens, new age, etc. I always thought are we that batshit crazy of an individual that we are so fucking out there? Then I reflect the things I’ve done or said and I go well, fuck yeah I guess I do waltz to my own tune and find odd things fascinating.
But there is one song in particular I’ve always been intrigued by and it is the song, Age of Aquarius by the 5th Dimension. DEFINITELY before my time but when I heard it I thought it was pretty catchy and of course it’s my sign so I always got excited about it when it happened to play across the radio station, but what did it mean? What was 5th Dimension’s message that they were trying to convey?
Astrologically, Age of Aquarius, is believed to be a new astrological period that happens every 2,000 to 2,500 years as the Earth’s position in relation to the stars changes, is the song’s central reference. Depending on the zodiac sign that is predominant at the time, each age is associated with distinct attributes. The values of creativity, advancement, spiritual enlightenment, and generosity are linked to the Age of Aquarius.
When this song came out in the 1960’s, it rings true of the era where there was a lot of change and rejoice in being diverse and kinder to one another among a great many other things. I always found the values of this song to be exciting and visionary. So what if the Aquarius sign is a bit on the oddball side of things? We are a set of creative, enlightened, and elevated people that happen to be a bit on the weird crazy side.
So the Message here is to be Zaney, be Creative, but most importantly,
Always Keep On Brewin!
