Recently I read the news that in the Netherlands the number of children attending a higher level of secondary school has substantially increased last years.

In the Netherlands this concerns the children in the age of 12 and 13 years leaving primary school and entering either a secondary vocational education (VBO) or a secondary education preparing for higher professional or scientific studies (HAVO/VWO).

The percentage of children going to VBO (usually about 60%) went down to 50% and the percentage for HAVO/VWO children (usually about 40%) went up to 50%.

The council of education is planning an investigation to understand the background.

For me the reason is not very complex. From 1996-2003 we had Uranus in Aquarius and all children born in this period will benefit from this aspect. Uranus in this position brings fundamental and quick thinking people being brilliant.

These children have started entering secondary school from 2008. This development will carry on for a couple of years even also when Uranus made the transit to the next sign Pisces in 2003.

At that time Neptune, ruler of Pisces was in Aquarius and Neptune has been there up to the moment in 2011 when Uranus makes the transit to Aries.

When planets are in each others sign we call this mutual reception and the effect is that they strengthen each other in a harmonious way.

For this reason I expect from 2003 a generation of children being as brilliant as the generation from 1996 but also with phenomenal pictorial intelligence.

A problem I expect related to this is that our school system will have problems to understand this  and to adapt to this situation.

The money that is planned to spent to understand the why of this could better be spent to adapt to the requirements on necessary changes in the educational system to get the best benefit out of these talents.
