How
much rest do we think we need, who is getting the most, and what are the most
restful activities? The results of the world's largest survey on rest indicate
that to feel truly rested, a lot of us want to be alone, reports Claudia
Hammond. Last November an online survey called The Rest Test was launched to
investigate what rest means to different people, how they like to rest and
whether there is a link between rest and well-being. The results are now in and
the analysis has begun. The Rest Test is a collaboration between BBC Radio 4
and the Wellcome Collection's researchers in residence, Hubbub. Hubbub is an
international collective led by Durham University, comprising scientists,
artists, poets, humanities researchers, mental health experts and social
scientists - among them the BBC's Claudia Hammond, presenter of All in the Mind Sept.27 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-37444982
The defining planetary aspect of the year has been the
potent Saturn and Neptune square. Alignments such as this, between the slow
moving outer planets, impact the very core of our being, catalyzing irrevocable
change. The two planets formed an exact square for the first time on November 26th, 2015 and since then the square has been affecting us individually and
collectively. The third and last exact aspect took place on September 9, 2016. Among
its several messages, Saturn-Neptune square is telling us that “we need rest and space now for things to ‘get
back to normal’”.
Presented here is the chart for November 26, 2015 square
drawn for Durham when The Rest Test was launched. Notice that the square
aspects the meridian and is therefore very significant for the place. If we now
progress the chart to Sept. 27, 2016, the moving horizon axis touches the
square once again thereby triggering it and the results of the investigation are out!
The message is simple. Saturn is about work and responsibility. Sometimes we overburden ourselves. We must make certain that responsibilities are not violating our sensitivities, sensibilities or need for retreat and quiet (Neptune).
