Roman mythology

Proserpina became the queen of the Underworld, after Pluto kidnaped her while she was picking flowers.

The essential thing with (26) Proserpina is to stay connected with the inner self to assess the personal preferences and values in relation to every experience or situation (3:13 resonance with the Earth-Moon system).

However, before (26) Proserpina is aware of its wishes, can have a hesitant attitude to life, waiting for something or someone to transform its life from the outside, like Rapunzel at the beginning of the movie "Tangled" (2010).
