Astrology at school? |
 |
It never really occurred to me until my children started school and I watched there progress and that of their classmates, that astrology could have any influence in the conditioned setting of a school room, but well, it can and does.
Every year we hear about how things have changed. More exam passes,more fails, perhaps the exams are too easy, perhaps they are too hard. Or perhaps, it all depends on the Chinese Year of the children in the school at that time?
Once I had it understood in my mind it became rather amusing. My eldest daughter is in Year 5 and this year is filled with Rat’s and Ox’s. My daughter is a Rat. It has been interesting indeed to watch, the Rat’s running around hurriedly with their sharp and quick little minds whilst the Oxen cleverly working their way to the top slowly but surely. Almost like the Hare and Tortoise Race. Both clever but in differing way’s.

In which case, surely you would be seeing a cyclical pattern of grade varitions, rather than 25 years of straight improvement like has been seen in A-levels in the UK. A good set of statistics that can be clearly show this can be found at: http://safle.org/wordpress/category/a-levels/
Admittedly, this only goes back to ‘82, so only covers 25 of the full 60 year cycle, but does cover more than 2 cycles of the Earthly Branches, so some sort of pattern should surely be apparent from this?
According to the myth of the Chinese zodiac the rat reaches heaven first on the oxen’s shoulders but the Ox is emotionally attached to the Rat so he does not seek revenge. Between those two the Rat should reach success first but the Ox is a great power. I love astrology!!!!
