Hii, can you tell us about the mythology of Hades as in Pluto and Hades (h14) the asteroid?

hades, the god of the underworld (asteroid h41)

i realize this is a super simplified post, but i have done a lot of tales of the underworld. so this is just going to be super quick and easy haha.

The only child of Cronus and Rhea I have yet to tell the myth of is Hades. After the gods were freed from Cronus's stomach who they overthrew, his sons split the realms of their father. The heavens and living were Zeus's, the sea and its creatures were Poseidon's, and that left the underworld and the dead to Hades. The Underworld became the place where Hades reigned over the trials and punishments of the dead. While he personally did not conduct trials or punishments, he reigned over all the chthonic beings that did from his palace called the House of Hades. It was there that he lived with Persephone and the dead who succeed in their journey to the Underworld. From there Hades divided his realm into three parts: Elysium for the blessed dead, Tartarus for criminals and those who were deemed sinners for offending the gods, and the Fields of Asphodel for everyone else. IN MY OPINION Hades in your chart can represent a) where you feel like you are in hell, b) where you pick last, c) where you get what's left over, d) where people fear you, e) where people change your story, f) post-mortem inheritance, and/or g) where you have found family potential.

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