RIP Peter Max. I was just admiring his 1971 "Astrologicalendar" the other day: www.peculiarmanicule.com/1971-peter-m... It has compatible dates with 2027, if anyone wants to print their own and remember Peter Max all year

Cover to the Peter Max 1971 Astrologicalendar, a deeply groovy astrology-themed calendar, featuring a ringed planet in front of a ton of five-pointed stars in a blue sky.

Pisces. A blonde figure in a dress and a top hat with a star on it stands holding some flowers on a plain under a striped red sky.

Libra. Several figures cavort under two flowers or trees. They might also be floating.

Capricorn. A figure with long blue hair sits cross-legged away from the viewer on a starkly red planet, looking at a distant green ringed planet.
