Social media may alter brains of children

 




Habitually checking social media as a young teenager is linked to hypersensitivity to peer feedback and may potentially lead to permanent changes in the brain’s reward and motivation centers, neuroscientists at the University of North Carolina suggested in a study published on Tuesday (Jan.3) in JAMA Pediatrics. https://www.rt.com/news/569404-teens-social-media-hypersensitivity-study/

 

In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardinal signs/ constellations, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Of these the Capricorn ingress chart is of special importance and is often referred to as an annual or world chart. But as always places where significant planets or planetary combinations align with the angles serve as focal points for events that exemplify the message of the ingress chart.

 



The chart for the Capricorn ingress drawn for Chapel Hill, the location of the University of North Carolina, is shown here. Notice that with the Sun on the descendant, this place is cosmically chosen to deliver a message, which we attempt to decipher in this post. 

We notice that the Sun makes hard aspects to Uranus and the TNP Poseidon. And conjunct Poseidon is the South Node along with the asteroids Bacchus-Psyche-Eurydike. 

The following interpretations for the interaction of the various elements are mostly from Martha Wescott [1]. 

Uranus/Poseidon 

Role of technology (especially computers or cell phones) in the media. 

Bacchus/Poseidon 

Media (Poseidon) has become "the opium of the masses" (Bacchus). You'll find that people confuse (all forms of media) with "real life." I think you're gonna' see that people are substituting media for dealing with their feelings or their life-situation realities. 

Eurydike/Uranus               

Depending (Eurydike) on one's friends can be wonderful...or not! Seeing people give their "friends" (or their computers!!!) so much power over their lives can be scare-eeey! 

Psyche/Uranus/Poseidon 

Psychological operatives in the media might cause neurological changes (Uranus) in a fragile brain (Psyche).
