Aquarius
Freddy & Herman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!

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 trust abounding
No more falsehoods or decisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation




And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Thank you for uploading ❤ I’ve got the track on 12” but don’t have the turntables set up. My wife and I met and we’re getting together around early 2001/2 and this track was a massive part of the sound at the time. Beautiful record, unbelievable memories. Thank you you so much. Maximum respect and love ✊🏼❤️
