tracked her down and, through Hermes the negotiator, secured her release. The deal
between Hades and Hermes allowed Persephone to go free provided she had eaten no
food whilst in the underworld. Later, Persephone confessed that she had indeed,
eaten some pomegranate seeds. She claimed she had been forced to do this - but
nonetheless, this transgression obliged her to divide her time, from then on, between
her protective mother and her hypnotic lover. Interestingly though, when she grew
older, she returned to the underworld of her own free choice.

Oscar Wilde once said 'I can resist anything, except temptation.'. That's pretty much
your own cri de cour at the moment. You're just a sweet, pure well intentioned
harmless thing, to and around whom the most outrageous, wicked or shocking things
keep 'happening'.
If the wrong kind of men, or the wrong kinds of opportunity keep hurling themselves
at your feet, it's definitely not because you are in any way inviting them to. All your
problems are either someone else's fault - or the result of wicked circumstances
beyond your control. You're not enjoying the trouble you're in one little bit. That's
absolutely not a smirk on your face. It's a grimace. How on earth dare anyone suggest
otherwise? Maybe, just maybe, you're prepared to concede that you've played some
small part in letting your current situation develop as it has done but then, what
choice have you had?
Persephone, the dark Queen of the underworld, is currently at work in your life,
naughtily corrupting your normally impeccable judgment and leading you, on what's
beginning to seem like a daily basis into ever deeper hot water. There. Don't you feel
better already, just for reading that 'excuse'?
The truth is though, that you do have the right to resist her - and the power to do so
to. The thing is, secretly, you're not so sure you want to. If you didn't think so many
people would 'disapprove' you'd be quite willing to confess that you're actually rather
enjoying much of the drama and intrigue that's currently taking place in your life.
There is, for example, the slight matter of who you're expecting to get a Valentine's
card from tomorrow. Actually, he's probably not going to send you a card. He's not
that kind of a conventional character. Nor do you want him to send you one anyway
- because a) it might create damning evidence of something you'd prefer to keep a
very private secret and b) you already know just how far you've got him wrapped
around your little finger and you don't need that kind of proof.
Best then, for the sake of your virtuous reputation, that you come the raw prawn.
