Birthday musings
Monday is my birthday. January 20th is also an inauguration every 4 years. I was born the day Nixon was inaugurated.
The first election I voted in was Clinton v Bush. Clinton was inaugurated on my birthday that year.
January is a weird month. Everyone is
broke and depressed and tired of being cold. January 20th is the exact cusp on Capricorn and Aquarius. No matter how many astrologers argue that there’s no such thing as a cusp, I will argue that a 0° sign is. January 20 is 0° Aquarius, which makes us full of undiluted Aquarian energy. Aquarians are idealistic and humanitarian. They are weird, quirky, aloof, can seem unemotional or cold. They are very intellectual, creative and logical. Yes you can be all 3 of those. They are independent af, progressive and forward thinking, and are big picture thinkers.I’ve had my birthday shit on a number of times, including having a family funeral that took the whole birthday weekend, and so I declared my alternate birthday to be Feb 12th (my brother is 2/11, grandma 2/13, dad 2/14, mom 2/15- so I put myself in the gap. MIND THE GAP!) I SHALL be utilizing that for my birthday this year because I will not celebrate anything on a Trump inauguration.
But some pretty interesting stuff has happened on January 20th throughout the ages. I did some research 😏
Firstly, a strangely large number of famous Japanese people born, or Japanese events occurred. My mom was born in Japan. Interesting. Ok. Next.
At least 3 famous astronauts born 1/20:
Buzz aldrin
Jerry Ross
Tolboyev (cosmonaut)
A bunch a musicians, most notably:
Paul Stanley (of KISS)
Nathan Connolly (snow patrol guitarist)
Sid Wilson (slipknot)
Rib bourdon (linkin park drummer)
A bunch of actors, like Deforest Kelley of Star Trek, and talking heads like
Bill maher. And some funny people…a couple of comedians, including George burns

Interesting because I have ZERO musical talent unless you count choreography. I was a really good choreographer and it was some of the most satisfying creative work I ever did. But all these musicians…did I fail a test? Lol.

Not surprisingly, many Aquarians are sciencey. There’s quite a few brainy people and some famous physicians and scientists born on my bday. Most of their names are not recognizable to me. But these two are:
Alan Lockheed (aviator & engineer)
Julia Morgan, Hearst castle architect
A couple ballerinas, quite a few poets, a surprising number of athletes.
Some events which I find notable:

Some events which I find notable:
- ACLU founded 1/20/1920
- 1/20/80, Carter announced the USA would boycott the Moscow Olympics after Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
- 1/20/81 the Iran hostages were released
- 1/20/86 1st MLK holiday
- 1/20/97 Howard stern radio show premieres in New Orleans
- Etta James died
- Audrey Hepburn died
- Meatloaf died
- 1/20/71 Marvin Gaye’s “what’s goin on” released
- My very best friend and I have the same birthday. I am 4 hours older than her. It is so cool to have someone who understands me, because I know I’m weird and can be a lot to take in. With her it’s easy.
Sooooo I think I’ll go choreograph an interpretive dance to express my displeasure about the inauguration.
TA!!!
