In astrology, Neptune rules the realms of dreams, music, addiction, and spirituality. It is the planet without boundaries—like water, it takes the shape of whatever contains it.

In this lecture, we'll explore Neptune's journey through Scorpio (1956–1970), one of the most transformative periods in modern cultural history. Through the lens of popular music, we'll see how Neptune reflected sweeping social, artistic, and technological changes that reshaped not only what people listened to, but how they dressed, thought, and expressed themselves. From rock'n'roll and psychedelia to soul, ska, and heavy metal, this remarkable era forever changed the soundtrack of our lives.

We’ll also look briefly at how to conduct quantitative astrological research by looking at musicians through the eyes of science, using control groups and neural networks to uncover patterns, culminating in an exploration of the fabled “27 Club,” the haunting circle of artists who left the world too soon.
