There was a joyful flashmob in Cork, Ireland last weekend to the happy Aquarian tune of "Mr. Blue Sky." The idea of the flashmob is very Aquarian to me. It's coordinated via texting and emails, and involves a spontaneous-feeling outburst in a public place. Sometimes, it's for a cause, but mostly, it's to dance en masse for the sheer fun and randomness of it.
"Hey you with the pretty face....welcome to the human race," sings the Electric Light Orchestra. The Cork flashmob chose this 70s techno-style song, from a band that first peaked when Jupiter was in Aquarius in 1974. The flashmob transforms the usual anonymity of the crowd into smiling, excited people doing something unusual together. You could see Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius here, in a joyful shared act that dissolves the usual social barriers. And that's a good thing!
