Uranus Direct! Gah. Anyone Get Shocked? My Son’s Teacher Got Hit Hard. I Know Because I Hit Her
Astrology in real life
Uranus is direct in Pisces and it’s been glaringly obvious in my sphere. I am seeing people get shocked by unexpected information coming in from places they thought were innocuous or perhaps did not even exist. And even though it’s very apparent the result is unilaterally positive the delivery has most definitely been traumatic. Witness my son’s teacher who was blindsided and burst into tears in her classroom today when I had to tell her my son was falling into a depression due her actions.
This teacher adores my son and never dreamed he was having any problem of any kind courtesy the family poker face. But fact is her constant fawning over him, using him as an example to let the other kids know how lousy they are devastates him on a daily basis never mind no one wants anything to do with him on the playground, they are so sick of hearing how great he is. Last year? A million friends. This year? He’s a pariah.
When I told her he bursts into tears each day when he gets off the bus because he has made it through another day of the grueling 4th grade, she lost it. And I felt terrible for her. But…
“Some kids may react differently,” I said with my son standing next to me as he insisted he be there. “But when you give 4 kids cupcakes because they are good and the other 25 go without a cupcake because they are not good… well if you’re one of the kids sitting there with a cupcake in front of you and you’re anything like my kid, you are going to want to die. It is going to be all you can do not to burst into tears, the last thing you want is to be one of the kids with a cupcake…”
A look of horror crossed her face. See what I’m saying? All the sudden (and out of the blue sky) she found out her entire teaching MO was devastating the children in her class who it was clear that she cares for… in particular my son.
“Please, all he would like you to do is take some attention off him. He does not want negative attention and works hard so he can avoid it. But he does not want positive attention either. This morning he was begging for just one day off. He is desperate for just one day where he is not held up as an example or elevated above the rest of his class and if you could give him this today and some consideration beyond, I think things will improve for him dramatically.”
I am happy to say the teacher’s response was fantastic. Even her tears worked wonders since my son saw her humanness which he did not know existed in her and it healed him in more ways than I can begin to try to express.
And whatever (revolutionary/ Uranus) thing she did at school today, it worked. My son came home upbeat and optimistic for the first time in 5 months. He even told me he liked her… he said she was great.
I sent her an email in gratitude, letting her know how much we both appreciated her humble and professional, compassionate response but maybe you see how this is:
That teacher got hit by a truck this morning. She’s first day back after a holiday, just getting into to work and she finds the best student in her class and his mother waiting in her classroom with this kind of news. It was intense but obviously had to happen and I am sure positive consequences will be vast and endless but still. Tell me this wasn’t blunt trauma. 
Have you been shocked in the last few days? How about delivering a shock?

Bravo Elsa.All my respect goes to the mom who is willing to be there for her kid like that.Really.Love that shit.
Yeah. Went home for Thanksgiving and found out that my mom was scheduled for a breast biopsy during my visit; I flew back Friday and heard Friday night she has breast cancer.
Not yet. Or not like that. I did discover I had been trojaned on Saturday, but somehow I expected something like that what with the comet and the full moon.
It’s fixed more or less now.

['Good on you for straightening her out.']
uhm, yes, quite.
but useful, necessary, and, in the long term, good. just unpleasant (but should have been obvious) news.
Oh my god, the more I read about your kids…you are such a special family!
As for the shocks? At first I thought ‘no’ (Uranus MC opp. Sun, I forget about shocks).
But on reflection holy SHIT did I get a shock on Saturday…
I had a major emotional breakthrough, I can’t even tell you. The biggest breakthrough I have had in years.
Very positive, very fantastic, and I feel so good about myself it rocks! I highly encourage anyone who is sick of a habit/pattern/emotive response that they’re desperate to get rid of…
The time is now, the Universe is on your side. Find out what you need to purge emotionally and just fucking get RID of it!
Mr. Scorpio snubbed my “rival” in front of all her friends (and mine! - big party!). My problem is (re what to do), I’m fresh (1 month) out of a long-term relationship. But I’ve waited 2 years for this; I can take my sweet time, I think;) High hopes for 2008!:D
But great for her too Elsa, no? for bouncing with the punches? There are people in her position who wouldn’t have let themsleves internalize what you were telling her — then it woulda gotten more complicated and f—d up. Seems she took it, her sincerity and clarity won over, and she tried to do what was best for everybody…not even for everybody, but for the kid she’s educating. Great for you too — for knowing when somebody was worth telling and confronting and sharing with — cool for your son too — cause seems like he got the whole process.
Chido…

This is a great example of why speaking up can work well for all concerned - a “win win” scenario. Your son’s teacher came through like a champ because she has what it takes to be a good teacher, she got the message and responded rather than reacted. We need more like her! And we need more mothers like you who actively listen to their children too.
so far Uranus direct has been kind, but that doesn’t mean a thing . . . 
Elsa,
What accounts for your son’s reaction to the cupcakes you think? Is it modesty, not wanting to stick out, integrity, doesn’t want the others to feel bad, and where do you think it comes from in his chart?

Busted - It’s not fair (Libra) and it’s not nice (Libra) and it’s also not right (Saturn).
If the kids COMPETED and this was their prize, that would be a different deal but this is pure playing favorites. These kids get cupcakes / you kids do not. Plus, like I said it hurt him socially.
This has been a chronic problem btw,,, about 6 weeks ago I mentioned his secret I could not tell. This was it. He did not like his teacher / approve of her methods but would not let me say anything for months… 5 months! Said he wanted to “handle it himself” but in the end, no kidding this was sending him into a bonafide depression.
At the parent teacher conference, I was sworn to secrecy but she did this same pattern then. She told me how great my son was and how awful the rest of the kids were and I was completely appalled. However, my son asked me to keep my mouth shut so I did. But after 5 months, he was really coming apart so he relented, let me contact her and this was the result..
What a great mom. And you did that teacher such a favor; it can be such a needed awakening to have something pointed out to you when you just can’t see it yourself. Her teaching will improve, your son will be happier, and her future students will benefit, too. Sometimes a Uranus shock is exactly what’s needed.
My relationship nearly ended over Thanksgiving. I was ready to walk away if dramatic change didn’t occur. The message I had to deliver to my love was one he didn’t want to hear. He was angry and depressed and we had both faith. I was determined that if change didn’t happen we were through.
Saturday morning he came to me very humbly asked me to let him try to fix the things that were wrong. We are both learning so much through this process. I wish we could do things the easy way but two passionate, volatile people blow up once in a while. The highs more than balance out the lows.
man, i felt the punch for that teacher over here…i know it was what she needed but it had to have hurt with her obvious positive intentions. glad it’s better now.
i’ve delivered one or two of these messages myself recently, yeah. it’s kind of nice to hear it’s to be expected for the greater good in the overall scheme.
Yep…This was an enormously affecting transit. Uranus in the 10th. After a seven month hiatus from the job I was ‘disapear-ed’ from I returned, not quite back to work but back in the environment. And everything felt like visiting an old self. I now have the old self and new self operating concurrently. And I understood….not only have other people been applying projections to me because of this job but I was living the projection .. and returning to that addictive heady feeling was like slipping on an old overcoat, an old skin.
I may’ve delivered one of these messages too - hard to tell since it was to a Scorpio.
I felt such nostalgia over the last couple days, heartrending, and I concluded the last trailing part of me (since I’d hit the ground running) was saying good-bye.
((Lupa!)) Good luck, and good work…I can totally relate. Those breakthroughs are amazing when they happen.
It must be a Sun-Saturn thing - something extremely similar happened to me around Vidroid’s age. I’m so glad, for the both of you, that you were there for him! My parents weren’t and it’s a betrayal I’m still working through. You and your family rock, yo!
You absolutely did the right thing without any shadow of a doubt. Sounds like the teacher was mature and grew because of it.

I don’t know about any other Pisces out there, but whooooey, today I felt more creative and unblocked than I have in a looong time. Downright spunky and quirky, even. Gardyloo hooray!!!! (See what I mean?)
As for your son, poor guy. Relatively speaking, 4th grade is a recent experience for me and I remember it was pretty brutal in my time, for different reasons of course, but being the pariah–even for all the “right” reasons–is a one way ticket to Sad Town. Good thing it got worked out!
