Persephone

In this episode, we explore the archetype of Persephone (née Kore, or maiden), who transforms from ingenue to Queen of the Underworld. There are layers to this story: onion skins of complexity and different takes, depending on the teller. Persephone is also an asteroid you can find in your natal chart, perhaps pointing to a place of vulnerability and curiosity for what lies beyond.

At the end of this episode, we answer an audience question on how our personal Pluto placements interact with the US Pluto placement, as America enters its Pluto return. Our thoughts on this question  lead into a conversation about race and racism.

We hope you enjoy! Thanks for tuning in, and remember to rate us with some stars and "subscribe" so you don't miss an episode.
