Hey everyone, I've got to ask all you intelligent ppl for some advice!
Recently, my sleep cycles have been falling out of whack - I'm just not sleepy at the end of the day (although tired) and am having a hard time trying to keep on a normal sleep schedule.
So what does that have to do w/astro? Well, the feeling was so familiar, reminded me of how I felt 14 years ago, and low and behold, Saturn, who rules my 12th house (and 1st if you count Aquarius) is now exactly opposite where I was when I first had my bout w/insomnia - when he crossed my ASC. (Now he's crossed my DC.) Ending relationships, committing to relationships etc I can handle all that, but this insomnia thing is just another kettle of fish...
Using Placidus, I've got a pretty huge 1st/7th house. The 1st insomnia run didn't lift til transiting Saturn left my 1st, which is a grand total of roughly 4 years. I'm not sure this new run will last so long, but for the meantime it doesn't look like it's going away. While the idea of sleeping through the day and never seeing the sun (12th sun) doesn't really bother me, the rest of the world just doesn't function on vampire time!
So my question is, should I try to fight my body and establish a rigid sleep schedule (just one late night could totally throw me off and back into insomnia land when I was a kid)? Or should I accept that this is one of Saturn's freaky side effects and sleep in as late as possible whenever I can? Or is there something else I can do?.... (p.s. I've seen doctors about this, not much they can do except prescribe you tranquilizers! Seriously.)
