“Reform is not enough anymore. Because that’s simply improving a broken model. What we need, and the word’s been used many times in the course of the past few days, is not evolution, but a revolution in education. This has to be transformed into something else.” – Sir Ken Robinson

Mr. Robinson spoke these words in his popular 20-minute TedTalk entitled, “Bring On The Learning Revolution”, which is embedded below. This is one of the best lectures on a topic that so desperately needs addressed in our world and I recommend it to anyone.

The current educational system, which stresses compartmentalization and standardized testing, is limiting the inherent abilities we all possess. It’s as if the educational system is simply set up in a way that directs us only to memorize and regurgitate rather than question, express, connect, and create. We are taught to fall in line and adhere to “The Matrix” rather than being our unique, authentic selves.

Dear Ones, as your world continues to change, make love your constant. ~Archangel Gabriel

The new week starts with Sun in the intense zero degree of Scorpio. That is a very INTENSE place in the zodiac for the Sun, and he conjuncts Apollon, also at 0 Scorpio, on October 23. Apollon in the heart of the Sun has potential as a most enjoyable experience. Learning, teaching, images of magnetic and mysterious famous people, and multiplication of wealth are potent themes dominating the transits for a short time at the beginning of the week. Looking good and being seen, showing personal charm, and letting your light shine intensely and brightly is an uplifting theme that starts the week. (Credit to astrologer Eileen Nauman for ideas about Apollon.)

Very appropriately and timely this week, with the Sun in Scorpio ingress, is Pluto in Capricorn aspecting five planets, additionally aspecting the Moon during brief periods, including a square to Moon in Aries on October 25, and also squaring Juno (asteroid lady). Pluto has a feel of being “all things to all people” this week. He makes a harmonious trine to his aggressive soldier, Mars; he’s expanded by the same aspect to Jupiter; Venus’ ease also links harmoniously with Pluto’s magnetic power; and Pluto is at the focal point of a cardinal t-square with Mercury and Mercury’s tutor, Uranus, literally introducing “brainpower” into the mix of energies in the transits this week. (Juno – relatedness – is conjunct Mercury and therefore she also squares Pluto.) No doubt that use of keen perspectives and transformation of self, others, and situations top the list of themes in the transits this week, particularly pertaining to public life, career, and the formation of structure, with Pluto in Saturn’s domain, Capricorn.

The river water in the farming region of Bujama in Lima, Peru, is so heavily polluted with metals such as lead, arsenic and cadmium, that growing vegetables in the area become heavily contaminated.

Engineering students at Lima’s University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) have dubbed their invention the “air orchard”

This ingenious device is fitted with 10 de-humidifiers that filter water from the air into a drip irrigation system connected to an urban farm on the ground below.
