Saturn and Mercury Retrograde: Rethinking Public Education

For the next two weeks, Saturn and Mercury the planets ruling structure and ideas respectively, are retrograde in Sagittarius, the sign of higher education, and Gemini, the sign of elementary education. Because retrograde planets indicate a time for reviewing the past, this line up indicates it's time to reconsider the effects of structured ideas/schooling, in our lives and the lives of our children.

Recently a bill was passed in my state requiring that all children be vaccinated, despite the medical evidence that vaccinations can result in serious illness and further that the vaccines are not necessarily effective against the diseases they claim to prevent. Unvaccinated children are to be barred from public and private schools. Parents who protest will have to either home school their children or move. Whether or not you believe vaccinations are necessary we have to consider the implications of government being allowed to require them. Why is this happening? What is God thinking???

There is a saying that to get to the root of a mystery one needs to "follow the money." In this instance it is not hard to find links between politicians accepting campaign donations and pharmacdical companies poised to make billions from their votes. So it appears a strong case could be made that this law is not about saving children's lives so much as it is about saving politician's jobs. However it is also said that a problem cannot be solved,, a situation cannot be changed, until we first accept it as part of the Divine Plan just as it is. It's like we can't stop a car until we first get in it. So before we start condemning Big Brother, it could be useful to see how laws forcing unvaccinated children out of school could actually be serving a higher purpose.  

In the past 30 years or so, schools have taken over more and more of the role of the parents, particularly that of the mother. While programs like Head Start provide an opportunity for preschoolers to be introduced to math and reading and to get a regular meal, these programs ultimately weakened the bonds between parent and child as the whole job of child rearing became more of a function of the state and less the responsibility of the family. Further the separation became greater as government programs grew to include after school childcare for the higher grades reducing the contact between parent and child even further. On the surface it appear these programs have been hugely successful but they have not been without cost. Particularly, we need to consider what our society has lost because the children are separated from us? Perhaps the children are safer locked up and off the streets ten hours a day but without them the world has become less safe.

Christ said that children are the peacekeepers. Why? Because simply by being in the group children influence everyone to keep things kid friendly and to be on their best behavior. But where are the children and their influence today? It used to be you saw kids everywhere, everyone looked out for them and the world was a kinder place to live. Since the expansion of the government school programs however, children have all but vanished from view along with their gentling influence. 

With them all locked up "safe" in their classrooms there is no obvious reminder we need to keep the  entire world safe for children. It makes me wonder if perhaps the demand that children be vaccinated or kicked out of school is actually God's way of saying, "So shut down the schools!"

 What if parents refused to turn their kids over to the state and home schooling became the norm once again as it was a hundred years ago? Perhaps in this case going retro isn't such a bad thing. Jupiter is in Leo now offering protection to all of God's creations but particularly to children. Something to think about.

Let me know what you think,
