  The New Sixties
The sixties continues to live and breathe in 2006. Why? Some astrologers point to Uranus-in-Pisces opposing the degree where the momentous Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo occurred during the mid-1960’s. However, the ongoing (since 2003) Uranus-Neptune mutual reception is also responsible. The effects of Uranus and Neptune's combined energies could be seen in the sixties--when transiting Uranus sprinkled pixie dust over every flower child’s Neptune, causing outbreaks of rose-colored granny glasses and ankle bells.. An exchange of energies between Uranus and Neptune excites protest, colorful creativity, and rebellion. Here is a recent sampling of re-born sixties trends:

  • Sixties popular music is being used in TV commercials. Donovan’s “Catch the Wind” in a Volvo commercial took me by surprise. Alert television viewers may also have caught music by the Yardbirds, the Allman Brothers, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin, the Turtles, , the Lovin’ Spoonful, the Who (“Happy Jack” for a Hummer commercial), Jefferson Airplane, the Rolling Stones, and just recently Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” for Fidelity Bank.
  • Also, sixties mod artist Peter Max-style kaleidoscope graphics (think Yellow Submarine) is popular in commercials.
  • Political protesting is big again, after a long hiatus.
  • A popular women’s fashion is the lacy, ruffled untucked blouse with hippie-style streamers dangling from the hem and sleeves, as well as Victorian England meets London Underground tops—and, for both sexes, military camouflage (army jackets were popular in the sixties).
  • The 2006 movie V for Vendetta was a sixties-type “power to the people” film made, as Astro-Noetics.com astutely points out, by two guys who were born in the mid-sixties.

Another Uranus-Neptune sixties sighting: hookahs, those communal smoking pipes which cool the smoke with water. They were big in the 1960’s for marijuana and hashish inhalation. Today, they are popular with college students. Hookah “bars” (strictly for flavored tobacco) have been proliferating near many college campuses. You can read a recent NY Times article on this phenomenon here.

I was recently in an Old Navy store and noticed the sixties style of many young women’s fashions, including a selection of shirts with lace trim, and beads and tiny mirrors on blouses. Take a look at the women’s shirts in this online Old Navy display and see if it doesn’t look like a replay of the 1960’s.

I think it has to be more than Uranus opposing the degree of the mid-1960’s Uranus-Pluto conjunction because that opposition will not last too long. This fashion trend has been “flowering” for awhile now. The mutual
reception of Uranus and Neptune is very much behind this clothing trend, indicating it has “legs” and will be with us for awhile (the Uranus-Neptune mutual reception will continue until 2011), although the form of Uranus-Neptune fashions may change.
