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!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation

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

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation

Renn Woods (the singer) was just 19 years old here (the movie was released in 1979 though shot in October 1977). What an incredible talent!

I’m truly amazed that the woman singing this never became a big star. I remember seeing this at the theater in the 70s and thinking this is one of the best female vocalist I’ve ever heard.
@newgabe09
do you know her name?
