✨Asteroid Ceres (1)✨

Hello everyone! This post is about Ceres and her influence in the natal chart! Her asteroid number on astro.com is 1. Hope you enjoy reading this post :)

✨Asteroid Ceres✨

First a little bit of facts. Ceres is the largest asteroid in the main asteroid belt, and the first asteroid to be discovered. Even though Ceres is most of the time called an asteroid, it was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Ceres was found by the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi of the Palermo Observatory on January 1, 1801. Additional observations of the object by Piazzi were cut short by illness, but Ceres was recovered on January 1, 1802, by the German Hungarian astronomer Franz von Zach, using an orbit calculated by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. Ceres revolves around the Sun once in 4.61 Earth years, which would mean that she spends about four months in each astrological sign.

✨Ceres in Mythology✨

In mythology, Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and motherly love, as well as the patron of farmers and protector of the plebeians. Ceres was a kind and benevolent goddess and because of that, Romans had a common expression fit for Ceres, which meant splendid.

She was worshipped at her temple on the Aventine Hill, one of the Seven Hills of ancient Rome. She had her own festival, the Cerealia, which was celebrated on the 19th of April. Another special time for Ceres was Ambarvalia, a Roman agricultural fertility rite held near the end of May.

Most of the times, Ceres is portrayed holding a scepter or farming tool in one hand and a basket of flowers, grain, or fruits in the other. She may also be wearing a garland made from ears of corn. She also often carried a staff as a symbol of her authority, but would sometimes carry a torch, which could probably represent her search for her daughter Proserpina as well as a symbol of enlightenment.

In other mythologies, she is equivalent, or rather similar to the Greek goddess Demeter, Norse goddess Sif, and Egyptian goddess Isis.

There are two prominent myths in Roman mythology meantioning Ceres. The one regarding her origins, and the other about the abduction of Proserpina.

✨Origins✨

Ceres‘ origins go back to the dawn of time, when the first gods and Titans were struggling to impose order upon a chaotic world. In the beginning of time, the cosmos was ruled by a god known as Caelus. Eventually, Caelus‘ son Saturn overthrew him and took control of the universe for himself.

In time, Saturn mated with Ops, goddess of the elemental earth, and had six children. As the children grew within Ops‘ womb, Saturn learned of a prophecy predicting that one of his children would overthrow him as he had overthrown Caelus. Unsure of the usurpers identity, Saturn ate his first five children as soon as they emerged from the womb. In an effort to preserve the lives of her children, Ops tricked Saturn into eating a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes in place of her final child, Jupiter. Unable to digest the rock, Saturn vomited the entire contents of his stomach back into the world. Ceres, along with her siblings Pluto, Neptune, Juno, and Vesta, were now free. Together with their brother Jupiter, the sibling deities brought order to the universe.

✨Ceres and the Abduction of Proserpina✨

As lord of the underworld, Pluto spent his days in solitude and grew lonely. Venus, the goddess of love and sexuality, took pity on Pluto and sent her son Cupid to visit him. Cupid fired his arrows at Pluto, allowing him to feel love and lust that he had so long been denied. On his next trip to the surface world, he spied Proserpina, who was with a group of nymphs on the island of Sicily. Immediately, Pluto seized the young beauty and whisked her away in his chariot bound for the underworld.

Devastated by the loss of her daughter, and not knowing what really happened, Ceres set off in search of the missing girl. Though she traveled far and wide, and carried a torch to help her see clearly, her search was fruitless. At long last, Ceres made her way to Sicily, where she found Prosperinas belt made from delicate tears of nymphs. In her sorrowful anger, she put a curse on Sicily that blighted the city's crops and left its lands barren:

‘The goddess tore her dishevelled hair, and beat her breast again and again with her hands, as if she at last comprehended the rape. She did not know yet where Prosperine was, but condemned all the lands, and called them thankless and unworthy of her gift of corn.‘

Watching from on high, the other gods and goddesses realized that Ceres‘ grief must be remedied. Seizing the moment, Jupiter sent Mercury to deliver a message to Pluto: the lord of the underworld was to release Proserpina immediately and return her safely to her mother. Though Pluto consented to Jupiters demands, he stated that he would only return Proserpina if she had not consumed the food of the underworld. As Proserpina had eaten seven pomegranate seeds from the fruit in Plutos subterranean garden, Pluto therefore refused to release the girl.

After much debate, a compromise was reached whereby Proserpina would divide her time between her mother and her abductor. The precise amount of time spent with each was presented differently in different traditions, but the time of the year Proserpina spent with Pluto corresponded to winter, when Ceres was too angry and distraught to allow growing things to flourish. Spring marked the return of Proserpina (and life itself) to the world.

✨Ceres' Glyph✨

Ceres‘ glyph is a sickle and the cross of matter; the sickle represents Ceres' connection with agriculture and her role as the nourisher of mankind. The cross represents physical reality, and the four elements of matter: air, fire, earth, and water.

✨Ceres in Astrology✨

In astrology, Ceres shows us the way we love and care, it shows us how we nurture. Ceres can also represent a rather vulnerable point in our natal chart, as it can show how we react to having something that we love get taken away from us. It can also show the way you feel about and how you were taken care of and loved by your mother figure.

Having Ceres Retrograde would represent these energies being internalized and not expressed as easily.

✨Ceres through the Signs✨

Ceres in Aries nurtures & cares for others through physical activity. They love doing some kind of physical activity with others, be it sports, or just a casual walk. Through encouragment they support others to be more independent and self-reliant, like a self-motivation coach if you know what I mean. They firmly believe that others should be able to take care of themselves on their own, because if they can‘t take care of themselves, how can they take care of others? Ceres in Aries has a rather fiery temper about losing things that they love. They would feel this pain intensely, and would, literally fight, physically, their way to reclaim it. Their mother figure could have been assertive and independent, and might have tought the native to be more independent in life. On the other hand, she could have been domineering and rather controling of the native‘s life.

Celebrities with Ceres in Aries: George Clooney, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, Sharon Tate, Uma Thurman, Mother Therese, Mark Zuckerberg, Joseph Stalin, David Beckham, Tom Hanks

Ceres in Taurus nurtures & cares for others through enjoying earthly pleasures and having security, both emotional and material. Expect these people to give you advices regarding real-estate, your diet and generally anything related to money matters. I‘ve found in people around me that have this placement, they are a sucker for good massages. It makes them feel a lot more grounded. With this placement, there is also a possibility to equate self-worth, in both themselves & others, with what they own. Taurus‘ fixed nature makes it hard for these individuals to let things go. They have a rather slow, boiling rage, and it would be a good way to nurture themselves, if they learned how to express that anger in a healthy way, instead of supressing it for too long. Their mother figure could have been a rather stable person in both the material and emotional way, and could have nurtured the native to be more stable and independent in all the things related to money. On the other hand, she could‘ve made this a focal point in the native‘s life, not taking into consideration anything else other than what the native owns.

Celebrities with Ceres in Taurus: Barack Obama, Angelina Jolie, Albert Einstein, Justin Bieber, Princess Diana, Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson, Hillary Clinton, Prince Harry, Christiano Ronaldo

Ceres in Gemini nurtures & cares for others through talking and writing, in short, through communication. They need to communicate with others. They love having short trips with people they care about, and adore going along on errands with others. A lot of the times, these natives share important information & advice (information & advice they find important atleast) with others. They believe that the best way to nurture someone is to listen to them and to have a healthy communication style with them. Ceres in Gemini, being ruled by Mercury, tend to be focused on getting the object of their affection back with words. They believe that through debate, they can get the thing that they love back. Their mother figure could have focused on having a good communication with the native, and could‘ve been a good listener. On the other hand, she could‘ve been the exact opposite of that, never listening, or rather pretending to be listening, while multitasking 5 other tasks.

Celebrities with Ceres in Gemini: Kurt Cobain, Taylor Swift, Vladimir Putin, Mahatma Gandhi, Grace Kelly, Elon Musk, Tupac Shakur, Charlize Theron, Mick Jagger, Halle Berry

Ceres in Cancer nurtures & cares for others through feelings and their home environment. They make others feel at home. They enjoy mothering others in any way possible. Might be clingy in that way. They absolutely adore hugs. I have a friend whose first instinct when seeing someone sad is to hug them! Very sentimental lot, and will care for others the way themselves want others to care for them. When they lose the object of their affection, be ready to see an emotional rollercoaster. Being ruled by the moon, the planet ruling emotion, expect these placement‘s first reaction to a situation like that to be crying. And crying. You get the idea. They could also be quite passive-aggresive in the way they want to reclaim it. Their mother figure really liked to nurture them and make them feel safe at home. Really liked to kiss and hug the native a lot. A real traditional mother figure if I ever saw one. On the other hand, they could‘ve literally smothered the native giving them little space for breath. Controlling archetype.

Celebrities with Ceres in Cancer: Adolf Hitler, Kim Kardashian, Lana Del Rey, Tom Cruise, Elvis Presley, Christina Aguilera, Emma Watson, Sharon Stone, Justin Timberlake, Briggite Bardot

Ceres in Leo nurtures & cares for others through creativity and pride. They pride themselves in their nurturing skills, and love to infuse others with confidence. They love to nurture through creative outlets, e.g. painting, singing, dancing. Anything related to art. Their nurturing style makes others feel confident and good about themselves. They literally make others shine. As with Ceres in Aries, this placement likes to encourage self-expression of others. Because if something is important to these natives, you guessed it, it‘s self-expression. When these natives lose the object of their affection, the first thing that is hurt is their pride. They will feel rather passionate about reclaiming it, and even though Aries and Taurus are the stereotypical stubborn signs of the zodiac, this placement makes this native really, really passionate about recovering the object of their affection. Their mother figure could‘ve been rather creative and artsy, so to say, and loved to push these ideas onto the native, even though the native wouldn‘t like that sometimes. A rather passionate mother, like the lionness and her cubs.

Celebrities with Ceres in Leo: Marilyn Monroe, Nicole Kidman, Chris Evans, Natalie Portman, Prince, Jennifer Lawrence, Napoleon I, Elizabeth II, 14th Dalai Lama, Pamela Anderson

Ceres in Virgo nurtures & cares for others in a rather critical and to-the-point way. Even though these individuals seem to be too critical and over-analysing of others, they don‘t mean no harm, they just feel that they are helping others through pointing out the flaws, so that others could improve themselves. These natives believe that there is always room for improvement. They like to be of service to others. They nurture others by showing them how to be their best selves, and by actively trying to be the perfect version of a human being (if something like that even exists). When they lose the object of their affection, these individuals, similar to Ceres in Gemini, will be rather to the point in their approach to reclaiming it. As a mutable sign, they don‘t dwell much on being mad for losing something like this, they would just be irritated. Self-discipline was the key with the mother figure of these natives. She nurtured them through words, but in a rather analytical way. On the other hand, she could‘ve been rather critical of anything the native does, and even though she might have had good intentions, the native was hurt by the way their mother figure was critical of them.

Celebrities with Ceres in Virgo: Madonna, Johnny Depp, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Robert Pattinson, Megan Fox, Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz

Ceres in Libra nurtures & cares for others through beauty and through noticing the small things. They show others that they care by noticing the subtle things others do, by remembering something someone said a long time ago, stuff like that. They surround others with beauty. They would like for others to feel luxurious when they are with them. Nurtures others through sensitivity to their feelings. When losing their object of affection, these natives will take a stab at fixing the issue as opposed to taking as much time as necessary to deal with it. Their mother figure could have been nurturing them through beautiful things, as well as through skin care routines. Pretty much teaching the native how to feel, and be, beautiful. On the other hand, she could‘ve been rather shallow, and uncaring towards the way the native feels.

Celebrities with Ceres in Libra: Britney Spears, Kanye West, Shakira, Eminem, Kendall Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, Whitney Houston, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Orlando Bloom, James Dean

Ceres in Scorpio nurtures & cares for others through intimacy, healing & transformation. They nurture others through touch. As with Ceres in Cancer, they love to hug others. They nurture others by teaching them the importance of self-control, and they love helping others through their personal transformations. Expect these placement to be with you through thick and thin. Scorpio, being a possessive sign and all, will literally be extremely passionate about reclaiming their object of affection, they will literally lose sight of anything else and focus only on this goal, because of the extreme agony they feel inside for letting something they love get away from them. Considering their mother figure, she could‘ve been rather possessive towards the native, and might have exposed them, in one way or another, to the occult and mysterious subjects in general.

Celebrities with Ceres in Scorpio: John Lennon, Drake, Prince William, Duchess Catherine, Timothée Chalamet, Will Smith, Bruce Lee, Vincent van Gogh, Céline Dion, Alyssa Milano

Ceres in Sagittarius nurtures & cares for others through adventure, sharing wisdom and knowledge. They show others how to succeed. And even though they wouldn‘t normally take the initiative too nurture someone, they are excellent at giving others advice or teaching. A good part of their nurturing nature is to encourage optimism and the desire to travel in others. They love to show others how things are done, and would love to go with others on big adventures, be it a trip to the woods, or a whole ‘nother country! I have a friend with this placement, and I was moving to another country, and she was literally like: ‘Can I accompany you for a few days? I would love to make sure you made it safe :3‘. They love showing others that there is always something to explore. When they lose the object of their affection, these natives tend to utilize their drive to reclaim it. They will literally travel across the world to get back what they lost. Their mother figure could‘ve been traveling all the time, and might‘ve showed the native to enjoy traveling and exploring. On the other hand, she could‘ve been absent through a good part of the natives life, that being her choice or not.

Celebrities with Ceres in Sagittarius: Michelle Obama, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Nicolas Sarkozy, Emmanuel Macron, Monica Belluci, Nicki Minaj, Sandra Bullock, Zendaya, Pablo Picasso

Ceres in Capricorn nurtures & cares for others through organization and achieving of goals. As with Ceres in Sagittarius, they show others how to succeed and how to take great comfort in every achievement that they make. They teach and nurture others by showing them how to take responsibility. They show others that goal setting and working hard is the key to success. When they lose the object of their affection, they don‘t lose a second to get it back. Dedicated and responsible, they would be disappointed in themselves for losing their object of affection, but would be back on track in no time. Their mother figure could‘ve been rather organized and self-reliant, and might have showed the native these ways. On the other hand, she could‘ve been rather cold, and only focused on succeeding in the material world.

Celebrities with Ceres in Capricorn: Steve Jobs, Jennifer Aniston, Bill Gates, Freddie Mercury, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mariah Carey, Demi Lovato, Elizabeth Taylor, Zac Efron, Marilyn Manson

Ceres in Aquarius nurtures & cares for others by developing a sense of social justice. They show others the importance of fighting for a just cause, and they show others the path to accepting their own uniqueness. They want their close ones to be accepted for who they are. Freedom is a special want for these people, as they feel that everyone should value their own personal freedom. Even though their style of nurturing might seem weird at times, they definetly want the other person to feel welcome and safe, but it‘s done in a way that you can‘t quite place your finger on it. When they lose the object of their affection, they can be quite sad and worked up around it, but they will eventually adapt seriously to the circumstances and start working in their own unique way to reclaim what they lost. Their mother figure could‘ve been a revolutionary in some way, or atleast in the eyes of the native. She might showed the native how to embrace their own uniqueness and the uniqueness of others. On the other hand, she might have prioritised her own freedom, being cold and distant to the native, and the native being unable to realise why they can‘t form a stable connection to her.

Celebrities with Ceres in Aquarius: Donald Trump, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, David Bowie, Billie Eilish, Amy Winehouse, Zayn Malik, Jay-Z

Ceres in Pisces nurtures & cares for others through compassion and reflection. They show others how to reflect on their own emotions, and how to truly feel emotions on a deeper level. Water might be therapeutic, and they can show others the calming benefits of water. The natives show understanding to others and love helping them overcome emotional crises. When they lose the object of their affection, this placement tends to shut down and lose their positive energy for a while. They simply wish for the agony to disappear. Eventually they get up and go towards the goal of reclaiming it. Their mother figure could‘ve been compassionate toward them, and showed them the real meaning of compassion, and that with it, they can overcome any obstacle. She might‘ve showed them that sensitivity is not a weakness, but an inner strength. On the other hand, she could‘ve been distant and lost in her own little world, believing that the native is capable of taking care of themselves.
