[2](1) Contrasted with the sky, earth may symbolize a need to ‘keep your feet on the ground5 or pay attention to ‘earthy5 or libidinal aspects of your being.
(2) It may be ‘Mother Earth5, symbolizing your own mother. Bear in mind that earth, as well as giving birth to things, also swallows them up again (when they die). Similarly, your mother - or your attachment to her - may have a ‘devouring5 aspect: one that hinders your individual development.
Mother Earth may also represent your unconscious. Life-giving energy comes from the unconscious region. This is the Svomb5 that contains potential for further development. Again, this may present a negative aspect: the unconscious may seem to be threatening the conscious ego’s attempts to maintain order in your life. However, the menacing appearance of the unconscious is a sign that such ‘order5 is precarious, having been achieved at the expense of neglecting important parts of your psyche. Wholeness is what counts.
Alternatively, Mother Earth may symbolize a need to supplement your reliance on reason or intellectual cleverness with a trust in the wisdom of the unconscious / instinct / body.
(3) The planet Earth seen as a sphere floating in space could be a symbol of your true self, as yet unrealized (i.e. not yet translated from idea or ideal into act and fact); wholeness, integration; or a weighdess, relaxed ‘floating’ with the life-giving currents that will carry you to the fulfilment of your individual ‘destiny5.
