Education in the New Age – Pisces to Aquarius & How Each Sign Learns

As each new era or age (2,500 years long, with 500 year preparatory and ending phases) begin to emerge, humanity experiences new developmental stages. As this occurs, the educational methods of the previous age disappear and fall away (we have seen this occur in the past years since 1970s). New educational methods must be brought forth to meet the new developmental state of humanity. Each new age brings a World Teacher to help humanity navigate the new era.

Each new era or age has new laws and principles. And each new age has different needs than the previous ages. In the Aries Age, the teachings were of lineages, kings and queens and biblical prophets. In the Pisces Age, the education consisted of memorization, competition and endeavors to measure up to ideals.

Teachings in schools were concerned with things militant, economic, conquered territories (science, nations, lands being absorbed). These became ideal achievements (thus teachings) embedded in the secular public school. (note: Catholic schools had different agendas, their teachings based upon the classics and spiritual aspects of the child).

As the Aquarian Age unfolds, we see secular education no longer teaching the children. And we ask, “What is the new Aquarian education?”

Slowly, over time, the new era’s education will penetrate into the human consciousness, and new teachers will come forth and new teaching schools (our school is one such school). Replacing competition and memorizing facts, the new Aquarian education seeks to unite the mind with the Soul, the divine Spirit within. This is the teachings of the Antahkarana, a Sanskrit word meaning “inner instrument, internal system, control panel, connecting the physical to the spiritual, processing all actions, emotions and thoughts.”

Replacing competition, will be group cooperation and group learning in ways that begin to serve others. There is an emphasis on global unity, the essential inner core that all religions taught, the spiritual purpose for nations, leaders, borders, religions and the rule of law.

This new education brings about, within the minds of students, a synthesis of inclusivity, intelligence, will, love and understanding. The result is wisdom.

Two Notes: 1. Regarding education, the signs below remind us how each zodiacal sign learns – important recognition for teachers and parents. 2. The next two weeks will be transformative. Follow along daily at Risa D’Angeles FB page, or my website https://nightlightnews.org/daily-postings/

Aries	March 21 – April 19: Study is boring at first to risk-taking-never-slowing-down Aries. They need to start things, always be first, not get too deep, and use their wit and sharp mind for mental bravado and sports metaphors. In class, before the teacher finishes asking a question, notice the first-hand waving is Aries. Later in life this very same Aries will become the brilliant intellect, philosopher extraordinaire and the one who synthesizes (Ray 7) vast amounts of information.
Taurus	*April 20 – May 20:* They don’t talk much and can’t take pop quizzes or write long paragraphs. They’re deep thinkers and one never knows if, and when, they’ll be ready to do a class project. They gather information, are researchers, and when older, have more money and real estate than the rest of us, saving all they have for the seventh generation. Ask them about real estate and gold. They illuminate the minds of the rest of us.
Gemini	*May 21 – June 20:* They talk, talk, talk and charm us out of tasks and responsibilities. They know a lot about everything but lack much depth. They’re not supposed to have depth. They’re supposed to make us curious enough so that we ourselves go deeper, not them. They read everything from milk cartons to chats to small bits of paper. They’re very curious and do seven things at once. They present dual realities so we can learn we have choices. We choose. They can’t.
Cancer	*June 21 – July 22:* They know how everyone’s feeling and learn through absorbing sentiment from the air. They learn through emotion (yours and theirs). No cold mechanical facts for them. Wherever they are, they offer cookies and hot cocoa. Everywhere they are is home. All Cancers are mothers. They remember everything accurately — facts, figures, dates, events, how the past relates to the future, and how many times you hurt their feelings. They never forget. They’re the womb of life, the gate of spirit into matter.
Leo	*July 23 – August 22:* This is the leader in training, the dramatist, the power broker, the one with the will and stamina because they’re in direct contact with the Sun. Creativity is their essential quality. They display themselves, their creations, and their personality passionately in order to be recognized and appreciated. Praise helps them grow, they can’t evolve without it. In a classroom they’re the shadow teacher. Someday they’ll own their own institute, academy, or church and lead with both heart and mind.
Virgo	*August 23 – September 22:* This is the librarian, the detailer, the one who takes all of Gemini’s books, manuscripts and unrelated facts, sets them in order and creates a card catalogue on-line. Virgos are hidden behind pursed lips and almost closed eyes since they research everything in minutest detail. They really need to run and play more instead of focusing all of their time on details, percentages, ordering things and being efficient. They never give all of themselves away. They need to learn what “good enough” means.
Libra	September 23 – October 22: These are the ones whose task is to enter a situation and create conflict and chaos. Libras bring forth harmony and balance, but only after destroying the harmony that existed before. Learning for Libra is about who’s having a relationship with whom and how does it relate to them. In a group they lead by understanding how everything connects. The optimum learning environment for Librans contains flowers, calm colors, art objects, order and beauty. They are the best relationship. They enchant. Their beauty is perfect.
Scorpio	October 23 – November 21: The student in the back of the classroom dressed in black or deep purple and wearing sunglasses in bright daylight is a Scorpio. Their eyes penetrate matter to its core and they know all the conspiracy theories and all the answers. They work alone, make excellent surgeons, and have a depth of knowledge matched only by Pisces. They don’t like to be the center of attention. Don’t ask them any questions. They don’t like anyone knowing their business. They make good detectives and often open Mystery (Wisdom) Schools. Don’t cross them.
Sagittarius	*November 22 – December 21:* These are the professors on sabbatical even when they’re teaching. Education is something they experience while traveling, carrying mail, opening a publishing house, on a pilgrimage, or being free to eat in every restaurant in the world. They love food and are hidden epicureans. Always optimistic, they glide over details better than a Gemini. In the classroom these are the students who seek the “why” of everything. Sags are the, “riders on the white horse, eyes always on the mountaintops ahead, trying not to stumble.”
Capricorn	December 22 – January 19: This is the rational and serious student always looking ahead, climbing the corporate ladder in order to break the glass ceiling. They study for hours, slowly but surely constructing their initiate minds. Capricorn is a realist, disciplined, practical and purposeful. They effectively and logically work towards goals. They plan and strategize. One day, like a tired goat, they fall off the Himalayas, land in the middle of a Gemini Festival of Humanity, and find spirituality. Capricorns have the keys to the kingdom. Watch them carefully and be their friend. They are our mentors.
Aquarius	January 20 – February 18: They come from the future so hardly anyone understands them. They learn differently than everyone else, put things off until the last moment, and anything dull (like the present time) bores them. Their inventiveness is extraordinary but they need complete freedom, time, and space for brilliance to find them. Speed and movement help them think. They make unusual artists and love things glass-like, filled with fire, or Tesla coils. Their minds function more like lightning than regular brain cells. They are the “waters of life poured forth for thirsty humanity.” Fascinating!
Pisces	February 19 – March 20: Well, here we are at the end, which is the way Pisces often feels in the classroom. This can be felt as a perplexed sign since they often don’t know why they’re on Earth. Classrooms stifle them, assignments and deadlines aren’t understood, and time is mysterious. When given care and explanations they assemble themselves and begin to work efficiently. They learn intuitively and need everything to relate to everything else. When asked a question they know the spiritual side of a subject, which is actually the essence of the inquiry. Well-constructed shoes keep them safe along the rocky ways of Earth. They meet the Buddha on the road!
