could you make a post about Proserpina(26), and it’s effect through the signs/houses?

proserpina, queen of spring and the underworld (asteroid 26)

i have not made a post about proserpina, so i won't complete a request like this without having talked about the asteroid first. proserpina and persephone are only mildly different. the likeness ends at the abduction and her mother searching for her.

trigger warning: rape

Proserpina's abduction was more turbulent than Persephone's and is seen in many pieces of media: art, sculptures, Metamorphoses, etc. Proserpina was an innocent girl picking flowers and playing in the glade with Cyane in the pool of water next to her - this was normal for the girls. On a whim one day, Pluto grabbed her and carried her away. Crying and terrified Proserpina calling for her mother - her dress tore, "her flowers fell" (which might be Ovid's metaphor for her loss of innocence/virginity). She screamed for her friends and no one came. Pluto urged each of the horses pulling his chariot by name to take them away to the Underworld. Cyane spoke up when she saw this, saying that taking Proserpina would be against the will of Ceres and that he had done this all wrong - a girl was meant to be wooed and Proserpina was in tears and terrified. She could do nothing to stop him for she was stuck in her pool of water - she was forced to watch him take Proserpina. IN MY OPINION Proserpina in your chart can represent a) ruined innocent, b) rape, c) abductions, d) innocence, and/or e) feeling trapped and helpless in a situation.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of proserpina along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of proserpina AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede proserpina!

OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS/PLANETS: PLUTO, ovidius (2800), ceres (1), and/or cyane (403).

since i was very young, i’ve had quite a morbid obsession with the story of persephone: the sweet goddess of spring, stolen by the god of death and forced to be his queen. i was in love with the way that she was simultaneously tender and morbid. i was in love with the way that she embodied decay. and i was angry at the way popular culture romanticised her relationship with hades. i asked myself, why is society sympathetic to a kidnapper and rapist?

but the older i get, the more i realise that persephone’s story is not about kidnap, nor is it about rape. it isn’t about the relationship between hades and persephone, but the relationship between what they represent. it is about the relationship between life and death.

death steals and ruins life, even - or especially - if it is young and sweet. thats what the story is about.

[this is not to say i am sympathetic with kidnapping and rape - they are terrible things. i am not saying what happened to persephone was okay. all i am saying is that the greeks (& romans) created this story in order to explain something greater than that. and to be honest, i don't like the comparison that much - death is natural and not inherently evil, whereas sexual assault is evil no matter what. however, this is story is beautiful and i love persephone]

#hercules #Greek Mythology #cyane #disney

[deathlessathanasia]

If there is one thing I enjoy about the kidnapping of Persephone myth, it is the complete emphasis put on the feelings and reactions of the female figures involved; the teror, the anger, the despair, the love between mother and daughter and between sisters, the powerful desire of women to defend and save each other, whether that is Demeter starving humanity in order to force Zeus to return her kidnapped child, Athena and Artemis being willing to fight their uncle or a mere nymph standing against the king of the underworld even if that results in her death... it's glorious and so powerful.

"The Nymphs fly away in all directions; Proserpine is hurried away in the chariot, imploring aid of the goddesses. Now Pallas unveils the Gorgon’s head, Diana strings her bow and hastes to help. Neither yields to her uncle’s violence; a common virginity compels them to fight and engages them at the crime of the fierce ravisher. Pluto is like a lion when he has seized upon a heifer, the pride of the stall and the herd, and has torn with his claws the defenceless flesh and has sated his fury on all its limbs, and so stands all befouled with clotted blood and shakes his tangled mane and scorns the shepherds’ feeble rage. .......  So exclaiming she (Minerva) smote with her threatening shield the horses who sought to advance and barred their way with the bulk of her targe, thrusting them back with the hissing snake-hair of Medusa’s head and o’ershadowing them with its outstretched plumes. She poised for throwing her shaft of ash whose radiance met and illumed Pluto’s black chariot. Almost had she cast it had not Jove from heaven’s height hurled his red thunderbolt on peaceful wings, acknowledging his new son; mid the riven clouds thunders the marriage-paean and attesting fires confirm the union. All unwilling the goddesses yielded, and weeping Diana laid aside her weapons and thus spake: 'Fare well, a long farewell; forget us not. Reverence for our sire forbade our help, and against his will we cannot defend thee. We acknowledge defeat by a power greater than our own. The Father hath conspired against thee and betrayed thee to the realms of silence, no more, alas! to behold the sisters and companions who crave sight of thee. What fate hath reft thee from the upper air and condemned the heavens to so deep mourning? Now no more can we rejoice to set Parthenius’ steep with nets nor wear the quiver; at large as he lists let the wild boar raven and the lion roar savagely with none to say him nay. Thee, Taygetus’ crest, thee Maenalus’ height shall weep, their hunting laid aside. Long shalt thou be food for weeping on sorrowing Cynthus’ slopes. E’en my brother’s shrine at Delphi shall speak no more.'

Meanwhile Proserpine is borne away in the winged car, her hair streaming before the wind, beating her arms in lamentation and calling in vain remonstrance to the clouds: 'Why has thou not hurled at me, father, bolts forged by the Cyclopes’ hands? Was this thy will to deliver thy daughter to the cruel shades and drive her for ever from this world? Does love move thee not at all? Hast thou nothing of a father’s feeling? What ill deed of mine has stirred such anger in thee? When Phlegra raged with war’s madness I bore no standard against the gods; ‘twas through no strength of mine that ice-bound Ossa supported frozen Olympus. For attempt of what crime, for complicity with what guilt, am I thrust down in banishment to the bottomless pit of Hell? Happy girls whom other ravishers have stolen; they at least enjoy the general light of day, while I, together with my virginity, lose the air of heaven; stolen from me alike is innocence and daylight. Needs must I quit this world and be led a captive bride to serve Hell’s tyrant. Ye flowers that I loved in so evil an hour, oh, why did I scorn my mother’s warning? Too late did I detect the wiles of Venus. Mother, my mother, whether in the vales of Phrygian Ida the dread pipe sounds about thine ears with Lydian strains, or thou hauntest mount Dindymus, ahowl with self-mutilated Galli, and beholdest the naked swords of the Curetes, aid me in my bitter need; frustrate Pluto’s mad lust and stay the funereal reins of my fierce ravisher.'"

- Claudian, De Raptu Proserpinae

“Midway between the streams of Cyane and Arethusa lies a moon-like pool, of silvered narrow horns. There stood the Nymph, revered above all others in that land, whose name was Cyane. From her that pond was always called. And as she stood, concealed in middle waves that circled her white thighs, she recognized the God, and said; `O thou shalt go no further, Pluto, thou shalt not by force alone become the son-in-law of Ceres. It is better to beseech a mother's aid than drag her child away! And this sustains my word, if I may thus compare great things with small, Anapis loved me also; but he wooed and married me by kind endearments; not by fear, as thou hast terrified this girl.’ So did she speak; and stretching out her arms on either side opposed his way. The son of Saturn blazed with uncontrolled rage; and urged his steeds, and hurled his royal scepter in the pool. Cast with a mighty arm it pierced the deeps The smitten earth made way to Tartarus;—it opened a wide basin and received the plunging chariot in the midst.— "But now the mournful Cyane began to grieve, because from her against her fountain-rights the goddess had been torn. The deepening wound still rankled in her breast, and she dissolved in many tears, and wasted in those waves which lately were submissive to her rule. . ."

- Ovid, Metamorphoses
