Hades – The archetype of Scorpio 
Pluto in the birth chart

To have Hades as part of ones psychological nature can be very enriching. Hades the recluse is a source of creativity that can be expressed through the arts, often in visual arts.
Hades the reclusive is however, a “missing” part in many people, who do not value opportunities to be introverted in they way that this archetype can be. Introverts can live an interior life in touch with their own subjective reactions to outer experience. A type of introversion as Jung described may be experienced as inner dialogues, visions, or bodily sensations.
The Hades child enjoys their own company and wants to spend time by by themselves- or perhaps with an imaginary friends. From nursery school onward the individual is intruded on by others needs for him to be more social” – extracted from the writings of Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.
The Roman correspondent for Hades is Pluto, whose name means “wealth.” This indicates the buried treasures existing in the depths of the psyche and experience of this realm of the underworld.  We have an invisible connection to the underworld, which is Hades himself. 

Another epithet for Hades is Eubuleus:16 meaning “good counsel” or “benevolent counselor.” The epithet refers to Hades’ wise counsel: images and feelings that rise from deep inside — even though they may be labeled as irrational. This process reminds us of Hades’ instinctual wisdom about the cyclical nature of life, the sense of “gut knowing,” being uncompromising and blatantly honest — all the qualities that Pluto evokes.” – Brian Clark 

“Death is always immanent.  He required no cult worship from mortals, because he already possesses the riches of the depths of experience.  The final act is always his, in any event.”-Iona Miller Collected Works

art by Tim Bagshaw

magnetar1:

“The artist, as a manifestation of the Universe, and hence of the Void by which it maintains its own existence, contains within a ‘primordial-point’ that establishes a constant link with the beginning of all time and space and being; once an artist creates this enlinkment he establishes an internal, and yet often silent, dialogue with the origin of his very own being and thus forges that connection with the focal point of All-Being. Thus, even without knowing he has done so, raised his little earthly self to a station of apotheosis: wherein his own being becomes the Icon of Himself, and serves as a mere Idol of the Universal Self; yet one which resides that much closer to the adytum of Our Belief: the Veiled Queen of All Mystery. The very muse, who by a myriad and infinite number of Masks come to all who are thus inspired to create and share a Vision of their world. She becomes the very personification of All-Inspiration as reflected unto the Mirror of each Mind as it becomes worthy to receive its Light.”
