More Sixties Redux

And the sixties live again. Only this time, the "revolution" seems to have begun in marketing meetings rather than college dorms. As I've noted before, a sixties fashion look is going strong. This has to do with a convergence of several astrological factors, including the current Uranus-Neptune mutual reception. In the later 1960's, Uranus passed over many a flower child's Neptune-in-Libra, causing outbreaks of rose-colored granny glasses and ankle bells. Now, with the mutual reception of these two planets, sixties fashions--and street demonstrations--are once again visible.

This past weekend, I was at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California (a hotbed of far left marketing practices) and took a photograph of a window display, featuring a sixties collage. There's a picture of Jimi Hendrix in the middle left part of the picture and "Jefferson Airplane" at the bottom. I think the store was selling loose-fitting, sixties-style clothing and bead necklaces.
