The Age of Aquarius

Aquarius, the Bringer of Water. 

For many long months Southern California has endured hot temperatures, a searing Santa Ana wind event, and fires, with no rain to quench them.  Right on zodiacal time, in February, Aquarius has finally brought the rains, and all gardeners are glad.

When the Moon is in the Seventh House

And Jupiter aligns with Mars

Then Peace will guide the Planets

And Love will steer the Stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, 

The Age of Aquarius.

 Aquarius? 

Aquarius!

Harmony... 

...and understanding.

Sympathy and truth (and frost!) abounding.

No more falsehoods or derisions!

Golden living dreams of visions,

Mystic crystal revelations,

And the mind's true liberation...

Aquarius.

Aquarius!

Lyrics of"The Age of Aquarius," by James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermott.

And remember those camellias that Descanso Gardens rescued from the windfire-stricken Nuccio's Nursery? This month, it looks like they're showing us how much they appreciate it.
