Users of Astrolog can look, where is Proserpina placed in his chart. It is approximation, found from data below. Allow uranians, and then place Proserpina instead (as example) Poseidon in command line:
-YE 40 79.22663 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 170.73 51.05 0
Heliocentric position of Proserpina can be found by formula:
Proserpina = 170.73deg + 0.5105 * YEAR + 0.0014 * DAY
where YEAR is year number after 1900, DAY is day number inside year, 170.73deg ( = 20Vir44 ) - position of Proserpina at 01.01.1900.
Difference with geocentric position is inside 1 degree.

Proserpina - hypotetic transpluto planet with year more than 600 years of Earth. In astronomy Proserpina isn't discovered yet, but existing of at least one planet behind Pluto is periodically under question. But astrology used already Proserpina some time, and to Proserpina are connected some properties of "Super-Saturn". Authors don't know source of existing ephemerides of Proserpina. Proserpina rules Virgo, exalt in Gemini.
What symbolizes this planet? First, such Saturn's functions, like moving up, to fixed purpose, also hardships and losses connected with this. Proserpina gives type of fanatics, who are absolutely pitiless to self on the way to achieve purpose. At all, if influence of Saturn can be directed inside or outside, influence on Proserpina is directed mainly inside. On physical level Proserpina often influenced through long isolation, voluntary or forced. Proserpina is like Saturn in square and multiplied to Pluto. It gives fanaticism and inflexibility of Saturn, mixed with superhuman vitality of Pluto, and often all has typically eccentric Uranian forms. Tommazo Campanella was monk, who taked part in rebellion. Inquisition long time tortured him, but Campanella confessed nothing. Was sent to treatment, there seduced nun, who look after him, wrote "Sun town". Was several ten of years in prisons. Inquisition was rather afraid of new tortures, Campanella was stronger than torturers.
Proserpina symbolizes also unattainable heights, barriers. On organism's level Proserpina is connected with immunity system. So, after conjunction between Proserpina and Pluto we can see AIDS pandemy.
Proserpina symbolizes also total control (Saturn is simple control, but Proserpina is total control). On other hand, Proserpina transforms like Pluto, but not with extreme situations of Pluto, but gradually and thoroughly. Say, we need overbuild house. Work a la Pluto : destroy all and then build all anew. Work on Proserpina level - nothing can be destroyed, but all, absolutely all must be overbuild, all bricks must found new places. This planet gives great attention to details, aspiration to control, analyze, calculation.
At the moment on most peoples Proserpina is manifested relatively feebly. Activation of Proserpina taked place through extreme situations, most often through clinic death. Life of such men is totally changed, they are touched by Proserpina's influence.

(Mythology skipped).
Proserpina rules Virgo, exalt in Gemini.
Preserving tendency approach Proserpina to Saturn, but Proserpina has also opposite side - Virgo is mutable sign, sign of change of season. Symbol of planet ]*[ can be interpreted like two Moons - two changness, and between they point, which symbolizes fixation. Fixation of changes (confluence of qualities of Moon and Saturn) we named will (in meaning as self-discipline). It gives possibility to transform without destroying of existing structures. But positive, fixing part in Virgo is stronger (in comparison with Cancer): changes takes place hard, and at once realizes as result.
Proserpina looks like his husband Pluto - inclination to hard anlysys, insistentness, severance of superfluous, but she has more soberness than sensual Scorpio and craving for riches Pluto. In future, when Proserpina will be discovered, these preserving qualities will change to more living.
Proserpina is emotionally restraint, soul is in hard frames. Beauty yields his place to expediency (Venus fall in Virgo). If Proserpina feel something, these are physiological processes in organism. But it is also kind of sensibility, and newer generations perhaps will show it more emotionally.

Proserpina is farest and highest by cosmic status from known (??? V.A) planets, it rules largest time intervals. (Mythology skipped).
In astrology Proserpina expresses transformation, transmutation. In society and individual life Proserpina determines global changes, which cardinally changes orientation of society and personality. Proserpina expresses also relatively permanent qualities, which form's by transformation. Proserpina expresses dominant direction in society life.
Proserpina has uniform (or nearly uniform) move and goes through Zodiacal Ring for 705 tears, one Zodiac sign for time about 59 years. That mean, during life of a man, Proserpina moves little more than one sign. Most men living now, have in his birth-charts Proserpina in Libra. Only junger and older men have Proserpina neighbors signs.
Older generation has Proserpina in Virgo, junger one in Scorpio. Here is very interesting situation - only very old and jung men have other energetics than most peoples. Proserpina was in Libra from end of February 1918 to end of december 1976. It corresponds to searching for harmony and justice, which degenerated to social revolutions. But these social revolutions don't bring mankind nearer to justice. In general, justice is not humans but God's occupation. Humans occupation is creation of law's, which helps spiritual evolution.
By entering in Libra, Proserpina was injured by conjunction with retrograde Mars and by square with retrograde Pluto. conjunction with Mars gives superflous power-activity in defend of justice idea. Square with Pluto gives significant dissemination of violence idea in consciousness of mass.
At end of december 1976, when Proserpina entered in Scorpio, main situation was more favorable. Scorpio is sign of concentration and accumulation of energy, transformation and transmutation. Now on whole word takes place very serious reforms. Proserpina has favorable position for spiritual transformation.
In years 1859 - 1918 Proserpina was in Virgo, sign ruling by Proserpina. It was time of religious philosophy and looking for God.
In years 1800 - 1859 Proserpina was in Leo. Leo is sign of creative works. It was time of numerous literary genius (Pushkin, Goethe, Heine), time of creation of national theatre in most countries.
In years 1741 - 1800 Proserpina was in Cancer, which respects to 4th house - home, family, motherland. It was time of chamber music (Mozart, Haendel).
In years 1682 - 1741 Proserpina was in Gemini (exalting sign). Then increased contacts between different countries, Peter I "cut through to Europe", was formed foundation of contemporary science (Newton).

Proserpine is the hypothetical planet beyond Pluto, postulated by AMERICAN astrologer Dane Rudhyar in one or another of his books. In 1973 I (Valentin Abramov) visited Rudhyar myself and debated the issue of whether Prosperpine should be viewed as the ruling planet of Libra or (in my view) of Taurus, an argument following logically on the question of whether Pluto ruled Scorpio or Aries. Earlier I had done a statistical study of persons with Sun conj or opposite Pluto and had concluded they were more "Arian" in nature: e.g., a large number of them were athletes and corporate executives, "'heroic' team players." Thus, following that sequence, it seemed to me that "Prosperpine" ruled the sign of Taurus, governing such large COLLECTIVE interests as ecology, interspecies communication, and environmentalism -- issues which, NB, have grown in importance as we approach the anticipated time for the actual discovery of that planet, probably in the first decade of the 21st Century. At that time Rudhyar disagreed with me, but since he was already getting senile by then, he seemed unaware of the fact that he himself had published a paper several years arguing the opposite point of view.
In the years following, this hypothetical planet has also been called "Bacchus," the Romanized equivalent of Greek Dionysus -- originally a bull-god of fertility. I've forgotten the name of the astrologer responsible for this nomenclature and also for speculations regarding the planet's possible influence in natal charts.
