Hello
My Persephone is square to natal Ascendant and opposed to Ascendant ruler, Jupiter. I'll give a very brief description, in mythology, Persephone was taken from her mother Demeter/Ceres by Hades/Pluto into the Underworld to become his wife and Queen of the Underworld. Her mother mourned the loss of her daughter, causing winter to fall upon the earth. A deal was struck between Demeter and Hades for Persephone to return to her mother for part of the year, but she had to return to live with her husband, Hades for the remaining part of the year.
In my chart, Persephone square ascendant is quite a strong feature and explains alot about my own relationship with my mother and life experience. I am feeling this especially now after spending some time with my mum over Christmas, now feeling as if I've been taken away from her, by distance and circumstance, into the harsh world of Hades. Geographical distance means I cannot see her as much as I would like to, she is the only family I have, at least in this country and I miss her, but I feel fate seperates us. It could be also because my progressed Moon square natal/prog Pluto is taking me on a pretty dark and painful journey at the moment - since its been one degree away from exact, tears everyday. My mum's Sun is opposite my Persephone, and her north node conjuncts my Persephone, so there is a definate hint of the mythological tale with our relationship.
I have also encountered relationships where the other person's Pluto conjuncts my Persephone. They were real eye openers.
Does anyone have Persephone stories to share?
