Transiting Ceres enters Virgo

June 28 - September 6, 2018

Many astrologers think that Ceres - technically not a Lady Asteroid but a “dwarf planet” - has a claim to the rulership of the sign Virgo. Remember that one older depiction of the sign is of a woman dandling a baby on her knee, as well as an armful of wheat. She, and the sign Virgo, seem to have more of an association with motherhood after the kid has been born. (Ms M, who has heaved out two babies, feels that Cancer is pregnancy, Leo is the actual childbirth, and Virgo is the “ever after” part.)

Although this is the Roman goddess Ceres, not the Greek Demeter, and although the Romans “stole” most of the Greek mythology for their pantheon - we still have a little information about her purely Roman attributions. She was the goddess of grain crops (remember Virgo’s armful of wheat), agriculture, fertility, and motherly relationships. The connection seems to be tangible, proven fertility - the baby in arms, the loaf of bread.

Anyway, Ceres does just great in Virgo! Let’s look at some of her “areas,” as given by Demetra George in Asteroid Goddesses:

Procreative sexuality

The various parental relationships

Child care and children’s education

The family

Nurturing and helping professions

Agriculture and growing cycles

Food and food-related services

Concern and sensitivity for animals

Labor and productivity

Adaptation and survival of the species

These are all going to receive the “Virgo” touch - efficiency and sustainability, in particular - although we mustn’t forget that Virgo is also skillful, organized, and helpful. There will be a couple of “challenges” to achieving these goals, and as I keep hectoring, “flowing” doesn’t always equal “good.” Still, you can’t watch or read the news anymore without becoming very aware of the planet’s overwhelming need for some helpful Virgo energy. Nobody expects us to assimilate all that Ceres here has to teach us, in 2.5 months. We can get a good start, though, using some of the (frankly) amazing aspects ahead.

Celebrities with Ceres in Virgo:

Ringo Starr, Isabel Hickey, Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Leonardo da Vinci, JFK, Al Pacino, Robert Pattinson, Tina Turner, Rafael Nadal, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer, George Michael, Meghan Markle, Marie Antoinette, Serena Williams, Fidel Castro, Michelangelo, Ralph Fiennes, Ella Fitzgerald, Mao Zedong, Conan O’Brien, Astrid Lindgren, Marcel Proust

Tuesday, July 3, Uranus/Taurus trine Ceres/Virgo, 2:03

The previous day, when the Moon is in Pisces, could be “the” day for feeling this energy. Perhaps we’ll have the opportunity (Moon sextile Uranus) to make a connection with someone (Moon opposite Ceres)? We can gain some innovative and practical ideas about how to maintain healthy family/tribal ties, as well as an opportunity to expand the idea of “family/tribe” beyond the immediate blood kin. After all, we all are descendants of Mitochondrial Eve! (LINK HERE)

Planets/Points affected lie between 1:03 and 3:03 of the yang signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Tuesday, July 10, Saturn Rx/Capricorn trine Ceres/Virgo, 4:54

This, on the other hand, strengthens the more traditional family structure. It promotes (per Demetra George) “stability, longevity, and depth” in familial relationships. Try to think of this as manifesting via a wise old Grandma wishing to impart her wisdom to us and to teach us everything she knows.

Planets/Points affected lie between 3:54 and 5:54 of the yang signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Monday, July 16, Venus/Virgo conjunct Ceres/Virgo, 7:33

Late on the 15th (US time), the Virgo Moon joins in, giving us a prim, proper, lady-like triple conjunction for a couple of hours. Venus is in her fall in Virgo, so there may be some issues with food complexes - overeating, binging/purging, or anorexia. However, the Moon and Ceres do well here - the Moon is the “esoteric ruler” of Virgo - with luck this will manifest as nothing worse than a loved one going on a health kick. If you live south of the Equator and are planning a garden, this is auspicious! (If you live north of the Equator, it’s a bit late for that - unless your plans are very long-term.)

Planets/Points affected lie between 6:33 and 8:33 of all signs.

Tuesday, July 31, Jupiter/Scorpio sextile Ceres/Virgo, 14:01

If you were waiting for the “procreative sexuality” portion of our program - we’ve arrived. Otherwise, this will of course amp up whatever Ceres/Virgo things you have going on. “Go big or go home,” says Jupiter/Scorpio. We might think about joining some group which aligns with what we want to accomplish. There’s a Pisces Moon on the 30th which (again) may bring someone into our lives.

Planets/Points affected lie between 13:01 and 15:01 of the yang signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Sunday, August 5, Neptune Rx/Pisces opposite Ceres/Virgo, 15:56

We may not see our loved ones clearly, or vice versa, under this aspect. Family troubles make us prone to escapism, via one’s poison of choice. Perhaps someone wants to play the victim, but someone else won’t cooperate with that agenda. Use the Taurus Moon on the 4th to keep grounded, steady, and sensible.

Planets/points affected lie between 14:56 and 16:56 of the signs Taurus, Gemini*, Cancer, Virgo*, Scorpio, Sagittarius*, Capricorn, and Pisces*; and between 0:00 and 1:56 of the fixed signs Taurus*, Leo*, Scorpio*, and Aquarius*.

Monday, August 13, Pluto Rx/Capricorn trine Ceres/Virgo, 19:17

Proserpina’s mom and hubby are getting along! Pluto is playing its very long game, Ceres is focused on the minutiae of the details, and they find ways to maximize and bless their endeavors together. Our understanding of others is much deeper. As there is a Virgo Moon this day, conjuncting Ceres, look for a mother or grandmother figure.

Planets/Points affected lie between 18:17 and 20:17 of the yang signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Thursday, August 23, Vesta/Sagittarius square Ceres/Virgo, 24:04

So many ways for this square to manifest. Vesta’s idealism is sorely tried by Ceres’ practicality, in a nutshell. (Which is pretty much the entire Virgo-Sag relationship.) Expect conflicts between the demands of the job (Vesta) and of the family (Ceres). We need a better balance between career and tribe, obviously. House positions in the natal chart point out where you need to tweak. (Ms M has these two sextile in her natal chart - so this square represents a temporary chasm between them.)

Planets/Points affected lie between 23:04 and 25:04 of the mutable signs Gemini*, Virgo*, Sagittarius* and Pisces*; and between 8:04 and 10:04 of the fixed signs Taurus*, Leo*, Scorpio*, and Aquarius*.

Tuesday, September 4, Mars/Capricorn trine Ceres/Virgo, 28:59

This again emphasizes “procreative sexuality.” With both planets so very well placed (Mars is exalted in Capricorn), what can we expect? “Harmonious aspects,” according to Demetra George, “denote a productive individual whose drive and energy are channeled into caring for or defending others.” It also can denote a single parent, or a parent whose primary partnership responsibility is the tribe.

Planets/Points affected lie between 27:59 and 29:59 of the yang signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Mondongo a la culona (English version)

Mondongo, a delicious way to evoke our culture, traditions and childhood while away from home.

This one is hard to translate. The main ingredient is beef tripe and culona refers to big butts 🤣, so it would be something like big butt beef tripe…? Maybe not a very appealing name but a very delicious recipe for sure! Big butt beef tripe I’m still visiting the delicious cuisine from the province of Colon in Panama and this recipe is one that every Panamanian has eaten at least once in their…
