Under the energy of the present Full Moon in Pisces, I thought I would write about a specific feeling, an emotion which is usually associated with the watery realm of the God of the Sea – Neptune/Poseidon, the natural ruler of the astrological twelfth house in the zodiac and of Piscean energy. This feeling is regret.
Regret is a languid feeling, giving birth to heavy, melancholic moods that combine a deep sense of shame with romantic longing and the hope of future forgiveness or reconciliation. When we fall under its spell we mourn what we have lost, while silently hoping for what could take us by surprise and harpoon hope back into our lives. We wish for a mending of some sorts and while we await, we feel ‘liminal’ as romantic regret becomes our eerie bedfellow.
Nonetheless, feeling regret reminds us that we have a heart. And we’ve all fallen prey to this feeling at some point in our lives. Unsurprisingly, some of us recovered & crawled our way back into the light to comprise playlists such as the one I am discreetly sharing with you below.
When a feeling is shared it feels less heavy. Similarly when a feeling is sung it becomes something other than itself. Musicians are alchemists of the soul: they take our regret and either amplify it, mute it or dispel it. They take human pain & transform it into beauty.
And because regret needs company to jumpstart the healing process, here is a list of songs that hopefully will feel like a balm to your tired heart:
