What is your take in synastry when one person's CERES conjuncts the other's VENUS? (a little less than 2 degrees tight in Aqua/8th House).

As one asteroid expert has stated, having someone's planet/asteroid aspecting your planet/asteroid is like having a constant transit to that point whenever you are around that person.

I posted basic Ceres information for those people who may be unfamiliar with this asteroid:

CERES aspects (conjunction) tend toward Ceres
unconditionally loving and nurturing the other person.
Ceres conjunctions are very helpful in relationship.
Stressful Ceres oppositions tend to thwart the Ceres person
receiving the nurturing and unconditional love they need, a
very bad situation. Ceres is always positive and giving and
a blessing (sort of like Moon-Venus-Jupiter all rolled into
one), and having one's own Ceres stressed or opposed is not
conducive to well-being or relationship longevity.

Would this mean he nurtures my aggressive side? lol I don't really know how to interpret that

Here is a link to learn a bit more about Ceres...the sign it is located in and the house....

http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/Ceres21.1.html

Ceres naturally gives and gives and gives...I personally love the asteroid Ceres...If it is aspecting your partner's Venus, there will be different intensities towards unconditionally loving...conjunction being the strongest.

Personally, my Ceres (0'02 Gem) is located in my Taurus 7th house...conjuncting a Venus, NNode, Sappho, Juno stellium....

It is also conjunct by mere minutes to my love's Venus/Amor/Eros stellium....to say my 'need' to nurture and give to him unconditionally is an understatment...and he responds with abundant love each time I nurture him. It is really cool! Even so....it also sometimes feels a little off balance at times because I tend to unconditionally give and his level of giving is different.

Hope this helps Everyone learn a bit about their Ceres!

And yes, Viper, your Ceres on your Sun will make your ever-giving PIS nature all that more giving...how lucky a gal will be to have you!!

Ceres Aspects the Ascendant: If Ceres makes any aspect to your Ascendant, people will come to you for "nurturing" whether you want them to or not. This is especially true of the conjunction. The harmonious aspects (sextile and trine) generally do not cause problems here. Neither do the conjunction and opposition, for that matter. Nurturing can be both given and taken smoothly. The square aspect is the real problem. There will tend to be battles with partners over who is giving and who is getting more nurturing. Remember that an opposition to the Ascendant is a conjunction to the Descendant. Someone with that aspect could make nurturing the centerpiece of their partnerships. On the positive side, that means they just like to nurture partners. On the negative side, it could indicate that are neglecting nurturing themselves, or that they attract partners who drain them.

Loggerhead...my thoughts on that in addition to the above (and I am just amateur) are this: Are you one of those people who keeps 'score' as to who gives what? Always keeping a mental scoreboard and if it becomes too off-balance, do you mention this fact? This would include all relationships: Family members, co-workers, lovers, friends....How do you feel it works in your relations with others?

Probably the best way to handle a square in your case would be to increase your awareness that this is a part of your makeup...and let go of your need to always EXPECT a perfect balance...it is doable...all squares can be worked with within a relationship or yourself...it just takes being AWARE and handling them differently than your instinctual/habitual way of handling things.

Two things jump out at me: I did get an excessive amount of nurturing from my aunt who took care of me during the day up to the age of six. She kinda spoiled me rotten, she and her husband not having children of their own. My parents really resented this, feeling that it interfered with their own parenting style. Especially my father hated my getting my way all the time, and we really butted heads for my entire growing up years.

So I had a lot of nurturing, but also a lot of rejection, in a way.

As for the score keeping, yeah, I tend to do that, but it's not an in your face kind of thing with me. Let's say I'm aware of the score, but I don't obssess over it.

The squares involve Mercury and Uranus, and Pluto, but this one with a wide orb, and Chiron on the Descendant. Then there is also a sextile with Mars, and a trine with the Moon.

Thanks, GemStar, very illuminating.

My CERES (3rd House)is 26 AQUA and his VENUS is 28 Aqua (8th House). This means my CERES also conjuncts his Eros (29) and his Chiron (29).

His CERES is Aqua 7 in his 7th House. His trines my Mercury and sextiles (if that matters one whit) my MARS.

I have Ceres 27 degrees Capricorn conjunct my Descendant, Trine to my Virgo Pluto 25 and Sun 29 degrees. Opposite my Cancer Ascendant and Sextile my Neptune? Any idea what that means!

First, understand how YOUR Ceres in it's sign in your natal chart works.

Second, look at your house placement where Ceres is located and remember that this influences the strongest way you express Ceres...Ex. 3rd=nurturing communication style, 7th=nurturing others etc....

Third, take the aspects to whichever planet you are studying and read it's interp from the site. Again, note the house where the aspected planet is located in and add that influence into your overall interpretation.

Feel free to grab a pen and paper..list out each of the main influences you find with each aspect. It helps make it clearer for you and will assist you in your interpretations with other planets etc...

In my studies, I have found that asteroids are important and most interestingly, they seem to mirror the SAME influences the bigger planets provide. Although it is a tad difficult to find information that is thorough about asteroids on the internet, the amount of info is improving!!

This is a great exercise for everyone and will help improve your overall abilities to interpret charts..both natal and synastry!!

Venus and Ceres in Conflict

The ancient myths show Venus in constant conflict with Ceres, symbolizing a disjunction between female exuality-sensuousness (love between adults) and maternity (love between mother and child). In our own lives, this conflict has become unavoidably apparent in the issue of birth control, which essentially allows sex without the reproduction that leads to mothering. It is therefore not surprising to find Venus and Ceres as prominent features in astrological charts drawn for events and people involved in birth control. It is particularly common for such charts to show Venus (female sex/reproduction) and Ceres (mothering) in aspect to Saturn (the planet of control or limitation) and Chiron (the wounded healer).

Reuniting Venus and Ceres

Venus and Ceres epitomize two aspects of the feminine nature that are biologically integrated but that have been deliberately separated on the social level. To accept them as joined implies a concentration of power that threatens the status quo. Consequently, most modern cultures (which are patriarchal) have developed morality structures that promote the distancing of women's sexuality from the civilized ideal of motherhood. Women are "kept in their place" when the power of their love is divided, and they are deprived of biological autonomy through restrictions against birth control.

Life wasn't always like this. There is evidence from earlier cultures that shows there was once an acceptable synthesis of sensuality and maternity. Can we hope for a future that would re-synthesize this deep and natural connection? Only when women have the right to govern their own bodies can they face and resolve the socialized differences symbolized by Venus and Ceres.
