I was thinking that since being a hippy means deviating from the norm, how could astrology possibly apply to hippies?
I'm not sure if that was what the hippies were after.. my advice is to be yourself as a person, not as a "hippie" or anything else.
Thats the age old question "alternative" people have asked since the dawn of time. I go to rock pubs/clubs where 99% of the people dress in black and/or leather, creating identikit images, yet they say they are alternative because they devaite from the rest of the population. Yet (ironically) they all look the same as each other, apart from the one percent who try to be different(more tattoos, piercings etc than anyone else). The only true answer is to look at what you believe and at what you want to be and be it. Dont try to confrom to 3% of a population because you think they are cool.
