WHAT'S YOUR SIGN?

THE ORIGINS OF POPSTROLOGY

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Start Birth Years Birthstars Constellations

As unpolished as they were popstrologically Fresh, bands like the Troggs and ? and the Mysterians made 1966 quite possibly the most thrilling of all four Years of the Beatles. And yet a star that was not Fresh but profoundly, uncannily, disturbingly Familiar also appeared in the popstrological firmament of 1966. They were the Monkees, the Opposing Star of 1966, but soon to be the Dominant Star of 1967 in an act of patricide unparalleled in popstrological history. Freshness is indeed a powerful force in defining the generation born in the Third Year of the Beatles, but the countervailing influence of this most Familiar of all stars indicates that the children of 1966 will fulfill the unlikely dual destiny of being known for their ability to recycle just as much as for their marked ability to create. And as for the influence of their birth year's Wildcard star -- well, one can only hope that the scary militarism of Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler will influence the children on 1966 in some indirect and unexpected way.
