The 90s babies I used to teach had this astrological signature that made them "easy" - with Uranus-Neptune in Capricorn, they respect tradition and order and are likely to love teachers and tradition as a result. This group was born in the late eighties to mid-nineties and I stopped working at the university in 2016.
Those two planets - Uranus and Neptune - shifted from Capricorn into Aquarius around 1997, signifying that those born in this new influence will collectively or on average be a source of bafflement to me: you can expect them to not want to be painted into straight lines and to not care for any kind of regime at all, to not want to be understood, controlled, refined or contained.
So I won't be teaching for a while. Really. There seems to be no point.

a little more astrological insight
ReplyDeleteand I understand if you don't 'do' astrology
in that case, you can still think in terms of personality types and use the information I suppose:

Aquarians Can Be Extreme Weirdos But We Love Them Anyway
Aquarius is kind of a weirdo, there's no getting around it. They interact differently with each sign.
With Aries, the two signs match well. Aries is independent and Aquarius tends to be pioneering by nature. They explore new things well together. This makes for a great relationship.
With Taurus, the dynamic is significantly trickier and hard to handle. When they remain calm, both signs can learn much from one another, but the Taurus might find itself feeling short with Aquarius. Love here would be challenging.
With Gemini, both will be incredibly intellectually compatible. Aquarius tends to be idealistic and Gemini will back them up with their wealth of knowledge. Together, they can create an amazing vision.
With Cancer, all bets are off. It's the toughest match of them all because both have vastly different priorities in life. Cancer tends to be domestic, and Aquarius will find them too clingy.
With Leo, it's a case of opposites attracting. Their love tends to be fiery and magnetic. Yet often, romantic relationships between the two will fizzle out when the time comes to get more serious.
With Virgo, solid friendships can be built. Both are excellent communicators but they tend to be too strong willed to be lovers. Still, they're adaptable, so nothing is out of the question.
With Libra, the two will understand each other well. In social and professional settings, they should get along famously. They love making new friends.
With Scorpio, we have another tricky dynamic. Scorpio is incredibly passionate, which is something that Aquarius can appreciate, but Scorpio is also emotional and intense, which may be too much for Aquarius.
With Sagittarius, hanging out should be easy. Both signs are idealistic and want their freedom. They love adventure. They're good adventure buddies for sure.
With Capricorn, some similarities will exist. Both signs are ambitious and resourceful but Capricorn tends to be more serious and conservative, pretty different from Aquarius.
With Pisces, compatibility may be an issue as Pisces tends to be selfless whereas Aquarius tends to be a little more self-serving. It's important to determine expectations early on to avoid problems later.
The strong point of this Aquarius-heavy set is seen here , or as I put it, they will be big freedom-fighters, activists; they will also be uneducated. And I guess you could say that's ok. I'm just not the prof for that.
ReplyDeletethe funny bit was that my test classroom had a mix of the (older) Capricorn-heavy and the (younger) Aquarius-heavy, so it was even less tractable than having a gaggle of Aquarians.
ReplyDeleteI wish them all success.
PS in case you were wondering I'm Taurus (very) and really love teaching and (nearly) all that it entails.
