Aspects
Moon Semi-Square Persephone
A low-grade friction runs between the Persephone theme and your need for emotional security, so a feeling of being pulled down against your will can disturb your peace, or an old enmeshment with a mother or partner can keep dragging you under. The irritation asks you to claim your own emotional ground. Descend on your own terms, and choose when to return.
Lean in — Claim your own ground rather than being pulled under.
Watch for — Let an enmeshment keep dragging you down against your will.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of descent-and-return and emotional instinct as an inner dynamic of the cycle of loss and rising.
