In the haste of everyday life, we almost never think about fatigue that invades the body and our psyche. And even God took a rest on the Sunday after the six days in which He created the world (or at least it is said so). People were created in order to work and support life on Earth. But Nature has "programmed" us to get tired and need rest, especially sleep.

Today I will dedicate this article to the issue of fatigue. People are rarely interested in which things exhaust us the most and drain our energy quickly. There are certain clichés which however, are not applicable to everyone. We are different and do not get tired in the same way. Various circumstances and activities exhaust us differently. There are people who get very tired if they are talking to someone. And if they are pottering in the garden, they do not feel the same fatigue. Others are just the opposite. And there are also people who may be tired to exhaustion if they sit in front of the computer for two hours, but they would never feel fatigue if they played tennis for two hours.

The recovery time is also different. Sometimes people are not lazy but just need more time to recover. And it does not depend on our age, although of course this also plays a role. Naturally, over the years, our life energy becomes exhausted and we become more "stingy" in terms of spending it and it is more difficult for us to charge our "batteries."

Astrology defines an area (or a house), which indicates losses and costs in life in general and what causes them. This is the twelfth house in the horoscope. According to astrological rules, there is a corresponding twelfth house for each area which contains reasons for a decay and loss when it comes to this particular area.

The Sun in the horoscope is the only major source of vital energy. Without the Sun, life on Earth would be impossible. The same goes for the individual person. The position of the Sun in the personal horoscope shows how much and what type of life energy we have, from where and how we draw it. The Ascendant is what we are as physical objects in space and therefore it is related to our physical reality, especially the body. When we do something, we do it with our body. And it is precisely the body that gives a signal when fatigue appears.

The twelfth house from the Sun and the Ascendant shows the ways in which we spend our life energy and the ways in which we lose it. The symbolism of the sign, in which this house falls, is related to circumstances which quickly absorb it. All the planets that fall there are of importance. But this is a complex issue which it is impossible to cover in this article, and furthermore, it is more specialised.

I must emphasise that I do not mean that we have to avoid fatigue and try not to get tired. Vital energy, like everything else, has to be a continuously moving stream. If we do not get tired, we cannot recover well, we cannot be charged with "fresh" energy. As the saying goes, "One has to work, get tired and relax afterwards." It's just good to be aware of which circumstances most quickly exhaust us in order not to overdo them. It's not healthy to save our energy, but it is not healthy to overwork, either.

It is an interesting fact that the things which quickly exhaust us are our favourites to some extent and we enjoy doing them plus afterwards we sleep better and wake up full of energy. There is no mystery and absurdity in this fact. It is just a natural principle - vital energy should be like a flowing river, we should let it pass through us, charge, discharge/get tired and afterwards recharge. That’s the way life goes. If we block the movement of this river, we will block the flow of our life and diseases will occur. And if you draw too much energy, you will force the natural flow, overwork and, as a result, diseases, will occur.

Now I will give you information about the things that cause the greatest loss of energy and under what circumstances we get tired quickly. The Sun sign shows better how we lose our life energy, while the Ascendant shows the circumstances in which our body signals fatigue. Sometimes there is no harmony between the two and the body often does not give a sign that we're tired, when in fact we have run out of the energy for the day and need a break in order to recover.

Ascendant or Sun in Aries

The twelfth house falls in Pisces. Pisces is the sign of insulation, mind, and self-sacrifice; of being of service to somebody, being at rest or in a meditative state; of dreams, fantasies and spiritual pursuits, as well as of large crowds of people. You become exhausted most easily when you stay in one place and your activity happens in a limited space that is almost deserted; when you are in some kind of isolation and you are forced not to act, but to contemplate. A long meditation would make you much more tired than 3-4 hours’ training in the gym. You get tired when you have to take care of someone, when you are in someone's service or dealing with solving other people's problems; when you engage in spiritual pursuits and stay in places where there is a large crowd of people.

Ascendant or Sun in Taurus

The twelfth house falls in Aries. Aries is the sign of leaders, initiatives, fights for the championship, leadership, competition and speedy action. You become exhausted most easily, when you launch something and when you initiate something; when you compete with someone or struggle to find victory; be the first somewhere and lead. Sports are also under the sign of Aries and they are an activity that easily exhausts vital energy. Being in a hurry makes you tired a lot, even when it is not a tiring physical activity. The fact that you are in a hurry and there is no time makes you tired.

Ascendant or Sun in Gemini

The twelfth house falls in Taurus. Taurus is the sign of stability, security, and the calm and slow pace of life; of storage and slow and smooth change of the status quo; of provision of material resources which sustain life. You become exhausted most easily when dealing with money in general, as well as with financial and material matters which sustain life; with the accumulation of resources and when you need to bring something to an end, stabilise and sustain it over time. Slow processes, things that do not change over the years, the status quo - these are all things of concern to you, which exhaust you most rapidly. Just watching someone who is sitting calmly makes you mentally tired.

Ascendant or Sun in Cancer

The twelfth house falls in Gemini. Gemini is a sign associated with movement, communication, information, communication devices, and vehicles. You become exhausted most easily when you communicate, talk and when you are continuously in motion; when you are constantly flooded with information from all sides. The constant ringing of phones as well as hearing voices here and there (especially on radio and television) can make you tired even if you are not doing anything essential. Reading books, writing, learning processes can provoke profound fatigue. Driving also makes you tired very quickly and this is something which it is very important for you to be aware of.

Ascendant or Sun in Leo

The twelfth house falls in Cancer. Cancer is the sign of home, family, the mother, emotional experiences, food, and property. You become exhausted most easily in situations that are emotionally charged and provoke the whole range of emotions – from the worst to the most pleasant ones. Dealing with domestic and family responsibilities, land cultivation and planting also makes you tired, quicklys and easily. Food and nutrition absorb a lot of your energy. Your body uses more energy compared to other people while preparing, partaking food and afterwards during digestion.

Ascendant or Sun in Virgo

The twelfth house falls in Leo. Leo is the sign associated with creativity and children. Personal expression, which gets applause and compliments also falls under its symbolism, as well as love and romance. You become exhaustged most easily in situations in which you are under the spotlight and when you need to express your personality and individuality. In comparison with other people, dealing with children is a very exhausting activity for you. Especially for women, giving birth and bringing up a child drains a large part of their life energy. Love and romance are processes that quickly deplete your vital forces. When you are in love, even if you are not actively engaged in something else, it makes you weary quite easily.

Ascendant or Sun in Libra

The twelfth house falls in Virgo. Virgo is the sign associated with implementation of order, perfection, and perfectionism; with the removal of all errors and shortcomings; with adjustments and organisation. Improvement in all its forms, health, habits, colleagues and daily life and work processes also fall under the symbolism of the sign. You become exhausted quickly when you're in circumstances and situations that require alignment, adjustment and improvement; when you have to make them perfect (or at least to be close to perfection). Health and habits are activities that consume a large part of your life energy. Everyday life, with all its details, as well as work, colleagues/employees, organisations, events and people, make you tired too quickly.

Ascendant or Sun in Scorpio

The twelfth house falls in Libra. Libra is the sign of balance, harmony, relationships, and partnerships. It is specifically related to marriage and other partnerships, as well as with justice in life. I will pay particular attention to the word "justice." People have a different perception of it. And Nature understands justice as "balance" and precisely this is incorporated in Libra. Balance is not always fair from a human point of view. It requires a harmonious combination of opposites. You get tired most easily and quickly while maintaining relationships with people. Not communication itself, but namely maintaining relationships - being in contact, connected with a partner, or being together with someone. All situations that require balance and harmony also leave you exhausted. Your marriage and spouse are the most active area through which you lose vital energy.

Ascendant or Sun in Sagittarius

The twelfth house falls in Scorpio. Scorpio is the sign associated with the processes of birth and death, sexuality, crises and incidents in life, but also with resources of others - finance, possessions, and inheritances. You become exhausted very quickly when you find yourself in a crisis situation, when confronted with someone's death and incidents - even the sight of an accident can drain your vital forces in minutes. The same happens with the birth of your children. For women, the birth process seriously exhausts their vital energy. Sexual relations also make you more tired compared to other people. Dealing with other people's money and property and inheritances is an activity that also rapidly depletes your energy.

Ascendant or Sun in Capricorn

The twelfth house falls in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the sign that is associated with long-distance travels, foreign cultures, and foreigners. Higher knowledge, the teaching profession, and higher education (not just in the sense of university knowledge, but knowledge of natural laws) also fall under this sign, as well as faith, religion, and personal moral laws. You become exhausted very quickly during long and distant journeys. Staying abroad and coming into contact with foreign cultures depletes serious amounts of your vital energy. Defending causes, beliefs and personal morality are situations in which you get tired too quickly. Searching for knowledge, teaching people, being educated, engagement with research and development are all processes in which fatigue occurs rapidly.

Ascendant or Sun in Aquarius

The twelfth house falls in Capricorn. Capricorn is the sign that is associated with structures in life, power and public positions; with leaders, people of authority, the father, politics and statehood; with growth in the hierarchy - not just social and public growth, but personal growth – all this falls in the symbolism of Capricorn. You become exhausted very quickly in the pursuit of activities related to public and social status and the receipt of certain doses of authority, power and positions, as well as your personal growth and success. Your relationship with your father, bosses, and superiors you work with, governmental and administrative activities, relationships with these agencies and policy also make you tired very quickly and easily.

Ascendant or Sun in Pisces

The twelfth house falls in Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of progress, future evolution, the unusual and eccentric, as well as our desires. Social groups and societies which are linked by common interests and goals also fall under the sign of Aquarius. These may be some kind of closed communities with traditional views or all new sciences, especially those related to the future. You become exhausted very quickly when you participate in any group activities; when you somehow "jump" into the future, or while dealing with knowledge through which you see it. Dealing with unusual and extravagant activities is also tiring for you. Friends, benefactors and patrons, as well as your relationship with them also exhaust you quickly and easily.
