Aspects
Chiron Semi-Square Persephone
A low-grade friction runs between the Persephone theme and your wound, so an old hurt of being taken or losing innocence can keep you reliving the abduction, stuck in the underworld of the wound. The irritation asks you to make the return, not just the descent. Heal the wound by coming back up as the queen, not staying the captive.
Lean in — Make the return as the queen, not staying the captive.
Watch for — Relive the abduction instead of completing the return.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of descent-and-return and the wound as an inner dynamic of lost innocence healed.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
