Zines are awesome. They're just small photocopied low-fi mags and often targeted at a niche group of nobodies. Robot nerds. Nerf nerds. Articulate shoplifters. Those with a penchant for drawings of toasters. And so forth. Well, here's a zine "for astrology nerds" but it deserves a much broader audience.
It's important that we all appreciate the Age of Pisces (years 0-2000, characterised by the birth of Pisceans Jesus and concluding around the death of Kurt Cobain in 94) has passed and we're now into the Age of Aquarius. Or, at least, the dawning phase. Let's not start to argue over 500 years here or there.
It's important to know (and drop into your next argument about Nirvana) how the Saturn-Venus-Chiron conjunction in the second house resulted in Cobain's strong pull towards psychologically tortured women, and how his water sign was a major factor in the artwork of Nevermind. Indeed he was destined to become the spokesperson for Gen X given the Uranys-Pluto conjunction of 1966-67. Because too much astrological Cobain trivia is never enough.

About
TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
