Bon Voyage, Pluto-in-Sadge...

Coming up next month, Pluto finally takes his final turn in Sagittarius. By the end of this year, he'll be firmly entrenched in Capricorn, and our Sagittarius days will be nothing but a memory.

Pluto entered Sagittarius in 1995-- that was thirteen years ago, folks. For those of you who are (ahem) over-thirties, here's a scary little recap of what went on that year. Yes, it's been thirteen years....

The top movies of '95 included Braveheart, Jumanji, Apollo 13, and Toy Story. Nicholas Cage and Liz Shue were hotter than hell in Leaving Las Vegas, and Val Kilmer was pretty hot himself as Batman in Batman Forever.

In the art world, Damien Hirst won the Turner Prize for controversial conceptual works such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (yes, the shark-in-the-tank piece) while William Robinson won the Archibald Prize for Self-Portrait with Stunned Mullet.

In music, we had Alanis Morisette's Hand in My Pocket and Natalie Merchant's Carnival, Hootie & The Blowfish' Only Wanna Be With You, and I Alone by Live. Weezer's Buddy Holly was another, as was Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something.

Um, 1995 also gave us Macarena by Los del Rio and Boombastic by Shaggy. But we did get Wonderwall by Oasis, too, which helped.

So, where were you in 1995? Maybe we should have a going-away party for Pluto in Sagittarius. But please oh please, no line dancing.
