Where Does Persephone Hide in your Natal Chart?

"Her name means she who destroys the light. The story of Persephone is so rich in symbolism and meaning that it has held the fascination of artists, poets and mythologists for eons of time. Psychologists have incorporated her story into their theories of the way myth defines the roles a woman adopts for herself.

Briefly, Persephone was the daughter of Zeus, the head of Mount Olympus in Greek mythology, and the goddess of the grains, Demeter. Persephone was initially known as “Kore” which means the maiden, as she was the epitome of springtime. It was when she was looking for flowers in a garden that she was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld. She became his queen once she accepted his offer of a pomegranate to eat. The six seeds she ingested became the length of her stay below ground, which was for six months of the year."
