With Hades we think of words like dirt, old,
or diseased. It is also associated with research
and detail. If we go back to our childhood,
some of us remember the older generation using the
saying "gone to Hades" or telling someone
to "go to Hades". Hades is hell, or so it
was thought to be by those who have gone before us.
Hades does have some similar energy to what we call
"Hell" today. This does not mean that Hades
is a place where the devil lives. It relates to the
underworld or the darker side of our natures.
Hades
can also be associated with illness, and those with
strong aspects to Hades, and in particular, the Sun,
can experience some real health issues, particularly
in their stomachs. The stomach is associated with
Hades because of the bacteria in the stomach; it can
also be associated with those terrible things that
happen to the stomach when someone lives with many
allergies. Bacterial forms and causes many problems
for the native. Hades also represents deterioration,
so whatever the situation, the deterioration is associated
with the concepts of Hades. Hades is about things
that get old, as age is related to deterioration.
So Hades can also be strong in the charts of those
who deal with antiques, or who might have a strong
interest in history!
History,
as well as research in general, is associated with
this Hades energy. Those with strong Hades can also
be very aware of details. In most cases, the closer
Hades is to a personal point, the more likely that
person is to be somewhat of a "neat freak".
This is all a part of that need for order, particularly
as it relates to details. These people strongly sense
and relate to the detail, even if it is in the home
or property they live in.
With
Hades, there is an ability to deal with dirty and
menial tasks. Then again, when you consider their
awareness of detail, it would only stand to reason
someone with a strong Hades influence would also be
good at making sure things stayed neat and tidy. It
also gives them a great ability to deal with dirt
or dirty matters.
Doctors,
as well as criminals, generally have strong Hades.
It would be a helpful energy, aiding them in their
success. Doctors research and deal with disease, while
the criminal also has to be aware of the details involved
in his work. Astrologers are another group of people
who generally have fairly strong Hades; it is needed
for the research part of the work as well as the awareness
of what the darker side of the human psyche is capable
of.
Look
to Hades in your chart to see where you deal with
the details, or the "dirt" in your life.
The planets or energies around or in aspect to Hades
can help you determine how this energy is playing
itself out. By the same token, look to transiting
Hades to see what house or area of your life is presently
being affected by the Hades energy.
