Proserpina & Persephone

✨️ What the asteroids Proserpina (26) and Persephone (399) can indicate in one's natal chart ✨️

For this post, you can analyze the natal sign, house, degree and aspects to the planets of these two asteroids, as well as their persona charts in case you know what you're doing, to interpret you own asteroids, just search about the energies and meanings of these, I'm gonna make a guide on how to interpret any asteroid, planet, angle, persona chart easily without headaches in the future ♡. You can ask me if there's a difference between the two asteroids and, honestly, I didn't find anything about it so they're basically the same, do with that what you want. Asteroids you may use: Hades, Zeus, Ceres and Demeter. Planets you may use: Jupiter and Pluto. Just maling clear: Proserpina/Persephone was daughter of Jupiter/Zeus and Ceres/Demeter, and married with Pluto/Hades.

Where and how you fall to tempations (and which temptations)

Where and how your beauty manifests

Where and how (if) your fertility manifests

Where and how your passion manifests

Where and how you're pure that people want to take it away

Where and how your chastity and innocence will be taken away from you

Where and how you're so enchanting that catches the attention of even the least probable and "womanizer" men

This one's more specific but it also shows your relationship with fruits, harvest, the seasons of the year specially spring, flowers, herbs and agriculture, and how you're born with these abilities. A heavily aspected Proserpina/Persephone can indicate you're really fond of these subjects naturally

In contrast, it can also show your relationship with occultism themes like necromancy, ghosts, talking with the deads and reincarnation and how you develop these themes throughout your life. Again, heavily aspected Proserpina/Persephone can indicate you're really fond of these subjects, with the difference that this is something you're gonna work in improving

Where and how your mom is overly protective and attached with you

Where and how happens the transition between your virginity and protectiveness into a phase of discoveries about your body and romance. In some versions, Persephone goes willingly with Hades.

Where and how people fight over your attention

How you blossom and rebel from the wings of your mom and become more independente, even if against her will

How you manage your duality of embracing both light and darkness. Persephone was the goddess of two opposites spectrums: the underworld and the spring, and she still could reign both in an unusual combination

Where you feel you're stuck. Wanting or not, Persephone is always stuck with someone like a prisoner, be it her husband or her mother, she's always restrained

Where and how you're manipulated. Persephone was, in some versions, manipulated by Hades to eat the fruit and stay forever in the underworld. Also, in some versions, she's indirectly manipulated by Aphrodite to fall in love with Hades and not become a lady like Athena and Artemis

Sadly, this asteroid can also talk about abusive relationships with men. I mean, rapturing someone because you feel in love with them is not the most healthy and romantic thing in the world, is it? But it can also talk about taboo and prohibited relationships in general

Where and how you can ascend socially through your romantic relationships

Where and how you can transform yourself through your romantic relationships

Where and how you can sacrifice parts of your life to keep the peace between the ones you love

Where and how you're more known by your personal relationships than anything. I mean, people focus more on this than in the own Persephone

Where and how you can transform dark places and make them flourish

Where and how you can soften the heart of cold, dark and mysterious men 🦭 (this one's a shot in the dark but it makes sense for me hihi)

Where and how you activate your initiation the expression of your feminine energy

Where and how you evolve into the next chapters of your life you never expected

Where and how you express your royalty energy through light and darkness

An aspected Proserpina/Persephone can at its worst, indicate a cold relationship with your father and a suffocating relationship with your mother, in contrast

An aspected Proserpina/Persephone can indicates you've earned some gifts from your mother and you can even have a similar job to hers or a similar personality. But at the same time, it can indicate you don't want to be attached/related to your mother in these matters

I've already talked about that but I'm gonna reinforce it, an aspected Proserpina/Persephone can indicate a toxic relationship with your mother, where you're attached with her but at the same time you wanna leave

Where and how you can use your powers to create adoration and fear at the same time

Where and how you can use abilities related to life and growth

Where and how you can find love in an unexpected way

Where and how you can benefit the souls who deserve happiness and blessings but at the same time condemn the ones who deserve suffering

Where and how you can conjure growth and new life but pain, madness, destruction and death as well

✨️ Proserpina & Persephone's symbols ✨️

Some of these symbols can have some meaning to you if you have an aspected Proserpina/Persephone or just attract you

The promegranate

The narcissus flower

Flowers in general

Torch

Seeds of grain

The deer

Bones/skull

Bats

The garnet

Iron crown

Corn

The waxing moon

The high priestess and ace of pentacles cards in tarot

Dark chocolate

The color red (in my opinion)

Virgo or capricorn

✨️ Persephone: The Making of a Queen ✨️

"Most do not understand the darkness of its gifts. Most prefer to avoid such raw truth, intense passion, and the deep, dark mysteries of the unbridled feminine.

Before embracing the dark, I was limited to spring. I was an adolescent, a maiden, an innocent. Not a sovereign woman in my fullness and certainly not a Queen.

Before I could come anywhere near putting that crown on my head, I had to make the journey into the underworld to face my demons, my skeletons, my untruths and my insecurities.

It was only after this, that I was able to claim my rightful place on the throne... The Throne of Self... Full Self, Sovereign Self, Authentic Self."

— by Sabrina Lynn

fun fact that no one asked buuuuutt anyways: last year i've had a dream with persephone and hades and it was so real i could almost swear they really exist lmao. and when i was smaller i actually believed in greek gods and mythology, i was really fascinated with it (blame percy jackson), but who knows loool

„As Proserpine in spring-time led the dance over Hymettus’ flowery ridges or beneath the cliffs of Sicily, on this side stepping close by Pallas, on that side hand in hand with her beloved Diana, taller than they and surpassing all her fellows, ere she grew pale at the sight of Avernus and all her beauty fled …” (Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica)

The idea of Persephone being taller than Athena and Artemis is… pretty cool actually.

god. proserpine by mary shelley makes me actually insane. you know how the story goes you already know persephone will eat the pomegranate seeds and divide herself between the underworld and her mother for the rest of time. but the way they are reunited is almost enough to spark a flimsy light of hope in you and make you think that maybe this time it's going to be different maybe she hasn't eaten the seeds maybe she'll be able to stay with her mother forever. and then the seeds are revealed to have been eaten and the two are forced apart once more with the promise that the time shall pass and the hope you had only makes it more painful and melancholic to read. things never really go back do they
