The Power of Play






A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that doctors prescribe a daily dose of playtime for kids. According to the August 2018 "The Power of Play" report, "developmentally appropriate play" with parents allows children to develop social-emotional, cognitive, language and self-regulation skills that enhance brain structure and function. Play time also reduces stress and strengthens the bonds between parents and children. Aug. 23  https://sptnkne.ws/jv5K





The American Academy of Pediatrics is based in Itasca, Illinois. A chart for the Gibbous Moon of August 22, just a day before the news, is shown here. Notice that the luminaries make hard aspects to the meridian implying that this Moon phase is significant for the place. The Moon [14cp13] is conjunct Pluto [19cp07] and square Venus [15li02]. With Venus connected to “values” we can begin to understand why with Pluto  acting on Venus a paradigm change can occur. Finally look at the Sabian symbols [1]for Moon (Phase 285) and the  degree  following it which say it all:

Phase 285 (Capricorn 15): In a hospital , the children’s  ward is full of toys.
The sociocultural process  has created conditions which may harm the children who will carry forward its work and it must try to repair these negative conditions through love as well as through physical care.

Phase 286 (Capricorn 16):School grounds filled with boys and girls  in gymnasium suits.
The need for physical activity and play, especially in adolescence.
