Astrologer Aliza Kelly says (via Vogue) that the Age of Aquarius happens when Jupiter and Saturn both appear in the constellation of Aquarius, it's a huge deal. It's supposed to be a time of monumental innovation and revolution, and that's pretty in line with what Allure has to say about those born in Aquarius (between January 20 and February 18). Aquarius is the sign of the rebel, of the eccentric, of the person who will give it their all if it means seeing social changes coming around for the better. They're big-picture sorts of people, who thrive in situations that involve things like community, teamwork, and leading the revolution.
When it comes to Christmas songs, there's no song that better embodies social change and revolution better than "The Little Drummer Boy." But — and this is important — that's not just any version of the song: It's the one done by olde-timey crooner Bing Crosby and the man who invented reinvention, David Bowie.
It's an undeniably weird combination, and according to CBC, it came about for a few reasons, including the fact that Bowie was trying to overhaul his image and put some distance between his new persona and one that had been surrounded by accusations, addiction, and upheaval. The duet, as weird as it was, also sort of heralded a change, and a passing of the torch: Crosby passed away just five weeks after they recorded the song, and it was first broadcast posthumously.
