In Greek mythology Hades rules the underworld of the dead. It is symbolized by the crescent Moon with the hanging cross within it, indicating emotional and spiritual concern and also weighty emotional issues. The Moon here reminds us that we must care for our emotional selves, that emotions can cause big problems and "dis-ease" if we don't give them the utmost importance. But it's also in their resolution where a new awareness and growth can take place. This is where some of the most beautiful and positive manifestations of the Hades energy can be seen.
Some of the traditional Hades keywords are matters of decay, unpleasantries, sinister, the criminal, deeply buried things, dirt and garbage. In its positive, antiques, antiquities, the occult and the esoteric, excavations, and certainly all of the helping professions. It’s very common to see a strong Hades in the chart of doctors, therapists, as well as those in the esoteric professions, as they are all working with people who need their help in some way.
