“Teenagers
have sex. Deal with it.” That was a dismissive statement by a blogger in 2012
who taught at Yale University’s School of Public Health.Fortunately, teens did
deal with it—by not having sex. They seemed to have missed this flippant blog
and ignored this careless advice from adults who should know better.On June 9,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the new 2015 data from
the most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which updates what we know about
youth and their engagement in health risk behaviors.The results show that fewer
teens are drinking than before, fewer are involved in physical fighting, and
teen smoking hit its lowest level since the government began tracking it in
1991.But the big news is the dramatic increase in the percentage of teens who
have never had sex. Since 1991 (the first year the CDC began tracking youth
risk behaviors), the percent of high school students who have never had sex has
increased 28 percent. In real numbers, that means that nearly six in 10 teens
are making the healthiest choice by waiting for sex—the highest percent to
date.http://www.newsweek.com/teens-giving-sex-473374
A chart for the current New Moon at Atlanta, Georgia, the
location of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which carried out
the survey, is shown here. The New Moon
is placed very appropriately in the 5th house that deals with children.
It conjoins Venus and is part of a Cross with
Jupiter-Saturn and Neptune. Saturn opposes Venus in the 5th
house. The 5th rules children as well as social attitudes towards
sex and promiscuity [1] so that a
Saturn-Venus opposition works to create a mature attitude by denying or
delaying sex while a Saturn-Neptune square overcomes all forms of indulgence
and weakness.
The
last quarter Jupiter-Saturn square impels movement and expansion away from
societal models and constructs in our personal lives that have now become
limiting and restricting to new growth. The last quarter of a cycle is about
pruning, plowing under the crops and preparing the soil so new growth can
emerge in the upcoming cycle. The existing constructs in our lives simply cannot
support any further growth, thus we either modify those constructs so they can
allow a greater level of growth and expansion, or we dismantle those constructs
all together. In addition, Neptune is placed among stars in the waters flowing
from Aquarius’ Urn sweeping away all past errors and the
Phoenix Firebird rising from its ashes promises a new life with a changed
paradigm.
