HADES
MOON
By
Anne Robertson
Happy
New Year everyone and what a year it is going to be with the
imminent entry of Pluto into the sign of Capricorn. Pluto has always
held a fascination for me which is not surprising with my having Sun
and Mercury in Cancer in the 8th house trining Jupiter in the Scorpio
in the 12th. I was introduced to the mysteries of Pluto's realm at
the ripe age of seven when my schoolteacher parents gave me a book on
Greek mythology, complete with illustrations of minotaurs and other
scary creatures inhabiting Pluto's domain.
My
interest in Pluto and its effects on personal planets by aspect
natally or by transit was intensified when transiting Pluto opposed
my natal Moon and Mars in Gemini the 6th house seven years ago. A
friend who had just gone through a Pluto Moon transit recommended
that I read Judy Hall's book, 'Hades Moon', hence the title of my
article. Before sharing with you my personal journey into the
Underworld I would like to share some of Judy's insights.
Judy
Hall is a well known karmic astrologer in the UK who used to teach
astrology with the late Howard Sasportas. In her book she
acknowledges Howard's vital role in encouraging her to write the
book, 'Hades Moon'. Judy Hall herself has a tight square between her
Scorpio Moon and Pluto so she is well qualified to write about this
configuration. She has traced Pluto Moon aspects in her family back 5
generations and forward into the next 2 generations. Judy herself
underwent a near death experience when giving birth this life time
but chose to go back and continue living to work through the karma.
The titles of the chapters of her book reveal the wide range of the
scope of Pluto Moon contacts. She devotes chapters to the Mythic
Moon, the Raging Moon, the Devouring Moon, the Prophetic Moon, the
Cathartic Moon, the Karmic Moon, and the Psychic Moon etc. She draws
on the birth charts of famous figures from royalty, literature,
history and the arts to illustrate the effects of Hades Moon.
To
illustrate the Mythic Moon she relates the story of the Bronte
family and in particular Branwell Bronte, the only son of a family of
5 girls. Branwell's Pluto trine Moon is expressed by his dissolute
life of addiction to drugs and alcohol, adultery, debauchery ending
in his early demise. He served as a source of inspiration for the
demon lover archetype for the characters inhabited by the books of
his sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne - Rochester, Heathcliff and
Huntingdon. The Bronte family carries the typical Hades Moon imprint
with their lives being marked by scandal, secrecy, symbiotic
relationships, and passion against the backdrop of the bleak
Yorkshire Moors. Judy Hall claims that Pluto Moon contacts primarily
concern Mothering karma. In the case of the Bronte children they lost
their mother at a very young age. Other cases she cites include John
Lennon whose Pluto Chiron Moon Mercury T square enabled him to
express the grief of being abandoned by his mother. He also underwent
primal therapy with Dr Arthur Janov which inspired his album, Primal
Scream. Judy Hall refers to Pluto Moon contacts as the Prophetic
moon. Both Branwell Bronte and John Lennon knew their deaths were imminent.
