Short Term Long Term Memory

[ScorpioMinistry]

I was just thinking about school, how kids who study the same amount of time come up with different scores. As I see it all of Education is a memory game, and I'm wondering if it has to do with planetary influence and location.

An energy drink night might be studying that aspect the Moon, hence the memory goes as the moon moves. Also some who desire grades may study on a Mars energy and Mars won't stay still from a quiz to a test, hence "distant memory"

I remember sitting in class almost searching through space like "come back Mars." Any way the successful kids bookwise all seemed to take a Saturn learning style and Saturn only makes 15 degrees a year, hence they never do forget.

So if this is the case, whatever way a child learns when small is what he's going to grow out of by habit. Therefore any book learning regaurdless of subject (unless a special one falls to Neptune) is just symptomatic. So maybe get this to Obama and teach how's not what. I'm going to research this and see about my long term memory. Any thoughts/incite/opinions?

I'm trying to wrap my mind around what you're saying here....
As far as the faculty of memory, the association with the amygdala....this is Cancer's territory. But I'm thinking more of things like memories of events and things that happened to you in the past.

Are you speaking of just retention of facts? Or of learning a skill and incorporating it?

If the info would help you in any way.. when I was a child, I had photographic memory. I never had to study for a test and always made A's - and usually A+'s. I have Jupiter Rx in Gemini in the 6th, ruling the 12th and Mercury Rx in Sag in the 12th, ruling the 6th - in mutual reception. This is supposed to be a really unfortunate placement for both, but this was my "learning style" as a child. My chart is in a link at bottom of the post, if you want a visual.

Jupiter Rx in Gemini also rules my 3rd house of mental processes and Mercury Rx in Sag also rules my 9th house of teachers and higher learning.

I didn't understand your first post either, Scorpio, but I'll participate with my idea on this:

My Mercury is in Cancer (don't know if it has something to do), and I know I remember everything...it is just that those memories are buried somewhere, so they don't come to my aware/conscious memory. :cool:


:unsure: :smile:

I've noticed the same thing about Mercury in Cancer people. The ones I've known can "dip down" and retrieve these memories easily. One friend had with Sun and Mercury in Cancer told me things about our childhood together when we reunited 30 years later. I had absolutely no recollection of any of this, but she recalled it all perfectly. I've also noticed that Mercury in Cancer can tend to hold grudges, since they never forget. :bandit:

[freedomlover]

No, no, freedomlover...I forget very easily. I am not a Cancer Sun continually looking back to the past. I just know things are somewhere in our mind because now and then I recalled things very clearly, out of the blue. This is not normal for me, but it makes me realize things are there in our mind.


Oh, sorry, Haizea.. it wasn't clear to me how you meant it.

Well, maybe it had to do with their Cancer Mercury and its aspects. I know the one person was born the day Mercury stationed Direct, so maybe he had a stronger functioning Mercury in Cancer than some. It was sextile a Mars/Pluto conjunction in Virgo.

I remember things that interest me, like the specifications for a particular motorcycle made back in 79, but can't seem to remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, I'm guessing it's my moon in Aries in the 4th house that helps my long term memory, if I have a positive emotional reaction to something I remember it almost forever!

Memory is pretty important for learning, but a lot of subjects require intelligence, not just regurgitating information. Chemistry and Physics are a mix of both but lean heavily towards understanding. You can't pass these with memory alone, they really like to test out your ability to understand in tests. And thank goodness for that! If it was all about memory I would have failed everything XD

My experience? Self and others ~
No one outdoes Cancer, Gemini and Cap on both of these.
These folks never forget anything ~
me ~ moon gem, mars cancer and jup/saturn cap.
I am an archivist/historian/memorologist when it comes to never forgetting.
