Note that the August 12, 2026 may not have anything to do with the subject of the Age of Aquarius. But, then again, it may be another indication that we are at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, if not actually in the Age of Aquarius.

i can now fully appreciate the vocal harmony arrangement and performance this
song demonstrates..The vocals on this track are nothing short of other wordly."

"Same here- as a kid in the 70s I thought (wrongly) this was
corny hippie stuff, coming from the musical Hair. But today, right now, I'm blown away by the
beautiful harmonies, it is elegant and gorgeous. And the second part, "Let the Sun Shine
In" is just groovy and fun. Wiki
says this song was #1 for four weeks in 1969- well deserved!"

"@arundelmercure553 Wiki is wrong. Aquarius (Let the Sunshine In)
spent no less than 6 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard 100 in 1969 and is the
bestselling Billboard 100 song of that year (and possibly globally too); an
incredible achievement considering music historians tend to point to 1969 as
being the pinnacle in rock and pop. The 5th Dimension were ahead of their time,
erased racial barriers with their unique blend of music genres dubbed
"champagne soul", and remain the finest vocal harmony - and finest-looking,
period! - group to this day.
5D had hit after hit between 1967-73; other standouts
include the 6 x Grammy winner Up-Up & Away (Aquarius would win them a
further two Grammys), Stoned Soul Picnic, Sweet Blindness, Wedding Bell Blues,
One Less Bell to Answer, If I Could Reach You, to name a few. I feel truly
blessed to be an Aquarian every time I hear this cosmic song, which
incidentally came together purely synchronistically when, it could be argued,
the universe ensured lead male singer Billy Davis Jr. would leave his wallet in
the back of a New York cab where the 5th Dimension were performing in the fall
of 1968...
And here we are now in The Age of Aquarius and soon to
ascend from the third to The Fifth Dimension!"

Astrology tells us Facts of Astronical detail and overlays soul and/or SPIRIT.
Ages of the Signs are well established. They go anti-clockwise through Human
History....I know about Taurus, (Bull Worship)I know about the Age of Aries
(Martial Law and War) the Age of Pisces was symbolised by the Christian Fish
and was expressed in Sacrifice of People for their Fellows, and all the
Addictions to alcohol, sex, drugs...et al. We are leaving these behind and now
thinking about Society, Brother and Sisterhood, new technologies and Genius

"I remember growing up hearing this song on my dads stereo
when I was a young boy, between the ages of 5-12 my dad would play this a lot
on his days off. This song must have been very big when he was my age and it
says a lot about the culture he was involved with in his mid 20s. I’m 25
now(born in ‘94), I haven’t heard this song in 13 years. After high school,
college, multiple jobs, and a lot of life, I randomly had a dream about my
father playing this song in the living room. Somehow my unconscious mind remembered
the lyrics even though my conscious mind has not even thought about this song
in over a decade. What a beautiful song, I now understand why he liked it so
much. I have been wondering a lot about who my dad was when he was my age, how
he grew to be a very wise man.. this is once piece of the puzzle!"

"@TerriSorenson-y9r it isn't meaningless actually, whatever

We as human beings have the imaginative power of being to imbue things with meaning. WE create meaning out of seemingly innocuous things all the time.
To attach the powers of hope, love and understanding to a song that is undeniably powerful is a meaningful creative act.
May we all bless this one planet we have, and give ourselves a chance at deep understanding before everything falls irreparably apart."
