Albert Aublet (1851–1938) - Selene, 1880, Oil on Canvas
Do you like roots? I do. As in "under the ground" or the origin of words. P.L Travers once described the word "understanding" as to stand under. The word melancholia comes from French: melancholie. Melas from Ancient Greek is Black and Khole is Bile. Black bile described sadness and depression. The earth signs were said to have bouts of this problem. At the Winter Solstice, December 21, we dig into the earth, and honor roots and the darkest time of year. This is building to the full moon, (moon rules unconscious), on Christmas Day. Capricorn is an earth sign.
"There is no excellent Beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion". Sir Francis Bacon.
As we move towards the darkest day of the year, we do try to lighten our spirits by acquiring material beauty. This is an understandable pursuit. But, try and take time to delve into the underpinnings of our collective unconscious. Heed Henry Higgins, "words, words, words, am so sick of words", and feel things now.
In general, light equates "action" and dark equates "contemplation"
Feel your mind, body, spirit and observe it.
You will be able to kick up your heels and celebrate light, very very soon.
