I know most of the people here were not yet a sparkle of love in the eyes of their parents, but can you find more things that happenned that year? So many are already well- known like the moon landing, Woodstock, Beatles break-up. For me personally it was a life-changing year, and amazing in more ways than one.

May 26-June 2: John Lennon and Yoko Ono conduct their Bed-In at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. June 1 - In Montreal, Canada, Give Peace a Chance is recorded in a famous bed-in for peace by John Lennon. The song is the first single recorded solo by a Beatle, and released under the name Plastic Ono Band, it is still a strong anthem for peace. June 8 - After CBS cancels the program, the last Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour airs. July 8 - Vietnam War: The very first U.S. troop withdrawals are made. July 14 - The film Easy Rider premieres. July 20 - Project Apollo: The Eagle lands on lunar surface. World watches in awe as Neil Armstrong takes historic first steps on moon.

Steven Parent, leaving from a visit to the Polanskis' caretaker, is also killed. More than 100 stab wounds are found on the victims, except for Parent, who had been shot almost as soon as the Manson Family entered the property. August 10 - The Manson Family kills Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, wealthy businesspeople who live in another section of Los Angeles. August 15-August 18 - The Woodstock Festival is held in upstate New York, featuring some of the top rock musicians of the era.

October 16 - The "miracle" New York Mets win the World Series, beating the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles 4 games to 1. November 19 - Soccer great Pelé scores his 1,000th goal. December 1 - Vietnam War: The first draft lottery in the United States is held since World War II (on January 4, 1970, the New York Times will run a long article, "Statisticians Charge Draft Lottery Was Not Random"). December 2 - The Boeing 747 jumbo jet makes its debut. It carries 191 people, most of them reporters and photographers, from Seattle, Washington to New York City. December 4 - Black Panther Party members Fred Hampton and Mark Clark are shot dead in their sleep during a raid by 14 Chicago police officers. December 6 - The Altamont Free Concert was held at the Altamont speedway in northern California. Hosted by the Rolling Stones, it was an attempt at a "Woodstock West" and is best known for the uproar of violence that occurred. It is viewed by many as the "end of the sixties." JOn
I need to find out where the stars and planets were that year...something vital was in the air. It was after all the end of the most world-changing decade.
1969...an interesting year. John and Yoko were a bit too annoying that year. Woodstock, Abbey Road, Led Zeppelin, the Rooftop Concert, etc. were some good moments, though. I'm personally partial to 1964 and 1967.
This was written back in the 90s but it's an interesting analysis of the astrology of the 60s: Heavens Above!.....Flashing on the sixties by Erin Sullivan, Founder Hog Farmer and now full time consultant astrologer.
I read something back in the eighties about a star seed transmissions..? I found this link that may be it yet I need to read to see if its the same. http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Starseed.htm And:http://www.spiritportal.org/angels.html And from you link: The Sixties in the Nineties Well, the ideals might remain still, but the achievement is a bit different than foreseen! With the current planetary picture in the mid-nineties leading into the millennium, we are not looking at any kind of re-visioning of the sixties. The sixties are then, this is now. The level of angst and violence in the collective consciousness is exactly what lay in the collective unconscious of the 'peace and love' era so famous to us now. The violation of human ethics, and ecological conditions is emerging in a radical polarization of the so-called youth of the late ninties....their anger has no effect, and thus is particularly dangerous to them. The anger of the sixties did have an effect, whereas today, it simply goes out into the universe, where all the pollutants are sent. The future, however, with the new generations coming into being, the Pluto in Sagittarius, Neptune in Aquarius babies are the new tribal order. Their function is to find comfort and safety within small collectives - because it will be truly "one world, one mind" and this is not as lovely as it sounds. It will take decades, possibly centuries for this new manifestation of social and global paradigm shift to 'work' . . . and, when it does, begin to click in around 2035, then, we will see the new order. That is when the Pluto in Sagittarius people will be in power, and that is when the dream of the nineteen-sixties just barely begins to bear fruit. Power to the future!
besides the whole vietnam thing and bombing of cambodia mlk assasination and the draft lottery it was a alright year
