I have a lot to say about Ceres, it's like a loaded conveyor belt in my mind, but I don't want to unload everything at once...

One thing is, my youngest son and I have sun conjunct Ceres DW. I take care of him and he takes care of me Our level of mutual emotional understanding is high.

Unload, unload!

Talking and thinking about Ceres gives me warm fuzzy feelings, though I know that the goddess has some claws as well, I guess so though. possibly when she feels her loved one is bieng threatened and she goes into protective mode.

Angelina and Brad: trine

my brother and his gf: square and quinkunx
(their fights are novel or film-like; like the two main acts from some screwball comedy or alternatively drama, for now they are still on the comedy-side though)

I definitely pay attention to all Ceres-aspects, not just Ceres-Pluto. But the Ceres-Pluto-Proserpina ones are interesting to me cause of their mythology.

Thanks!

It's all so eclectic and disorganized.

But I would love to discuss, on this thread:

1) Orbs - What orb does one think Ceres ought to have?

2) Meaning - As I understand it, Ceres represents how we nourish others and how we are nourished in return. It's a give and take function. Do others see it this way?

3) Rulership - Ceres rules....(fill in the blank)

4) Synastry - Perhaps there are special combinations that are particularly sweet, that we have not uncovered yet? I have a theory about Jupiter conjunct Ceres...would like to explore all combinations, but that would have to go in the IA forum.

5) Ceres through the Signs - I'll be back later with some notes and maybe some links.

6) Mythology - ...though I hate mythology.

1) Orbs

2) Meaning

quote:

---

[Ceres] is the quintessential Earth Mother, and rules over food, cooking and nutrition. Wherever she appears in your chart, she shows how best you feel nurtured. This is also the area where you can easily provide love and comfort.

Your Ceres Sign influences mothering, hard work, parenting, and gardening as well. It will show how well we go with the flow… the universal one, that is. This is the unification of both giving and receiving through ourselves as an exchange of energy.

---

3) Rulership

I've heard a lot of technical reasons for why Ceres should be the ruler of Virgo but all that sticks in my mind is that Ceres reminds me of whole grains and that is what a lot of Virgos eat (health food.)

4) Synastry

quote:

---

Ceres conjunctions and midpoints in synastry enhance the quality of any kind of relationship due to the desire of the Ceres person to provide comfort, patience, and unconditional love to another.

---

quote:

---

Aspects to Ceres between two charts will not make or break a relationship, but this asteroid [sic] gives insight into the intricacies of nurturing, separation and loss between two people.

---

And as I said above, I think it involves give and take. So if you have Ceres conjunct a planet, perhaps there's an effect where Ceres absorbs the planet's energy and feeds it back to the planet person.

6) Mythology

quote:

---

Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.
