Ways of Resting, Like the Arrangements of Work, Are Something to Decide
In your forties and fifties, scenes increase where you feel in practice that resting, too, is part of work. A way of proceeding where you push through by spirit alone, as in younger times, does not continue. In ways of resting, the same habits appear as in a person's way of proceeding with work. A person whose judgment to rest is delayed, a person who cannot let work leave them even when resting, a person who puts off the arrangements for resting itself. Knowing those habits becomes the premise for deciding rest as a schedule.
Here, from the qualities of the 12 signs, we organize as general discussion the tendencies in ways of resting and ways of recovering, from the side of arrangements and how to proceed.
The Fire Quality — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
The fire quality is a type whose power to move is strong. In scenes of resting, too, those movement habits appear.
Aries has a tendency to put off the judgment to rest until a break in work is reached. Once it begins moving, it is hard to stop, and rest tends to become something taken after finishing, rather than a schedule. As a way of recovering, a form of putting rest days into the schedule in advance, in the same way as work schedules, fits well. It is also a type that wants to do some activity even on a rest day, so line drawing not to fill the schedule too much is also needed.
Leo is a type that has scenes where, conscious of position and the eyes of those around, it is hard to bring up resting. It has a tendency to be concerned that, if it rests itself, it will look as though work stops. In practice, if the arrangements for resting are shared in advance, those around can move more easily. Making the form of handing over and resting leads directly to how work is proceeded with as well.
Sagittarius is a type whose mood switches by changing place or going outside. There are good sides in how rest itself is taken, but there are times when work is packed in right up until rest, and during rest, too, it continues thinking about the next schedule. A form of deciding a break that, on the day before rest, no new work is put in, fits well.
The Earth Quality — Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
The earth quality is a type that values arrangements. In ways of resting, too, planning and the habits on its reverse side appear.
Taurus has a tendency where rest spent at its own pace fits. In a way of resting that does not greatly change the rhythm of everyday life, power returns more easily. On the other hand, it tries to keep the pace of work even on a rest day, and can continue responding to contact. On a rest day, a form of deciding just the time band to respond fits as a way of drawing the line.
Virgo is a type that, even on a rest day, tries to clear accumulated errands and small tasks. Clearing errands itself is not bad, but if a rest day becomes a work day, recovery time disappears. A form of dividing by time, such as errands only in the morning on a rest day and leaving the afternoon open, fits well. If small matters of work are a concern and it is hard to rest, a habit of leaving the points of concern in a note and making a break is also effective.
Capricorn has a tendency, from a sense of responsibility, for the judgment to take a long rest to be delayed easily. Even when resting, thinking about the amount of work after returning, it can continue thinking about arrangements during rest. If, before resting, you decide just the first piece of work after returning, thoughts during rest decrease. Rest is something to decide as arrangements for leaving the responsibility of work.
The Air Quality — Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The air quality is a type whose mood moves by information and involvement with people. In ways of resting, too, that characteristic appears.
Gemini has a tendency to touch information much even on a rest day, and for the switch of the head to become vague easily. A habit of following work information can continue even on a rest day. On a rest day, it is important to have one of the forms: deciding a time band to look at work information, or deciding a day not to look. Because interest is wide, it is also a type that can hold many options for how to spend rest.
Libra is a type that builds up rest to match schedules with people. If social schedules increase, its own rest time can slip to the back. When making a rest schedule, an order of securing time to do nothing first fits well. If schedules with people are placed after that, the form of rest is kept.
Aquarius is a type with a strong awareness of wanting to decide how its own time is used by itself. It builds the form of rest originally as well, but time thinking about how work proceeds can cut into rest. Drawing a line of turning thinking about systems and improvements to work time, and changing the object of thinking on a rest day, fits well. Securing time to spend alone is also this type's form of recovery.
The Water Quality — Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
The water quality is a type whose feelings move easily by the situation of those around. In ways of resting, too, involvement with those around affects it.
Cancer has a tendency, even on a rest day, to prioritize errands of family and close people easily. Time spent with close people itself is important, but if time for its own recovery takes a form of remaining last, tiredness can remain after rest ends. An order of deciding time for itself in advance within a rest schedule fits well. The longer a person has done the same work, the more the state of the workplace is a concern even on a rest day, so deciding the handling of contact in advance is also important.
Scorpio is a type that, when resting, tries to rest deeply. If a break from work can be put in, recovery advances, but time spent thinking before putting the break in can become long. A form of writing out all the points of concern about work on the first day of rest and making a break fits well. It is arrangements to put thoughts outside first, and then rest.
Pisces has a tendency for a rest schedule to change easily to match requests and invitations from those around. Because it responds flexibly, days can pass while the form of rest is not decided. On a rest day, a form of fixing the schedule for just one of either the morning or the afternoon fits well. When declining an invitation, conveying it early becomes line drawing for protecting your own rest.
Deciding Ways of Resting Is a Judgment for Continuing Work
Whichever quality, what is commonly important in ways of resting is not deciding whether to rest by the mood or amount of work of that day. Decide a rest day in advance, decide the handling of contact during rest, and decide the first piece of work after returning. If these three arrangements are there, rest holds as a schedule. For example, just deciding in advance one day a month when no schedule is put in changes how work itself is packed in.
Resting is not stopping work. It is a way of drawing a line, in order to continue work for a long time. If there is a part close to your own habits, please reflect just one of them in the arrangements for the next rest.
