This is a very interesting subject, and one that I’ve been researching on and off for several years: the true patterns of sleep. many many people right now are finding their perceived “normal” sleep patterns changing- Very tired in the evening, then feeling wide awake 11pm-3am and then finally able to sleep soundly after 3am…. which makes me wonder if this really is the “natural” way that we sleep. We know that the Industrial Revolution forced people into changing their natural sleep patterns. Has our modern work lifestyle and socialization had pushed us even farther astray?

Saturn is the planet of karma, responsibility, time, lessons and goals and it is extra ambitious in Capricorn. This retrograde will teach us some lessons. It is extra powerful as Pluto is in the same sign and has begun his retrograde AND the South Node (karma) is in Capricorn. Those born under a Saturn retrograde are said to have old souls, re-living past experiences and thereby progressed spiritually. Saturn is tradition, reality, earthing and boundaries. It is structure that creates physical security. Saturn is the highest planets in the hierarchy and is thereby said to be closer to the Gods according to ancients. Saturn is also manifestation and creating tangible things from our dreams. Therefore, moving backward might delay the manifestation process, especially if we haven’t learned our lessons. Saturn is karma, and it is time now to learn, heal and release. Saturn also rules time, so time might feel to stand still at this time. Saturn is stability, structure, goals, responsibility and the divine masculine. There are lessons to be learned here for us as individuals but also as a collective. Since Saturn is an outer planet, it won’t affect our daily loves, but more so our lives from a higher perspective. Study Saturn and its retrograde to start studying your life and this shift within.

There is a growing body of research on how resilience—the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress—is actually a life skill that helps people persevere and become healthy and well. In fact, a recent Harvard health blog about resilience called it a “mind-body medicine that reduces the need for health care.” And happily, research has also found that resilience can be taught, learned and cultivated—it is not something that only the lucky or the brave possess.
