A la Ceres-Watch the planet formerly known as Asteroid Ceres has JUST gone into Libra and is squaring Pluto for the next week. Those of you interesting in monitoring Ceres may share in the comments. I am thinking that Ceres in Libra MUST feel lighter and  more breezy-easy than Ceres in Virgo. Ceres in Virgo for SO long – since November 2008 – has a careworn vibe about her. Too many details. Ceres in Libra is lovely for mothering & feeling elegant about the whole shebang. BUT the square to Pluto means intensified feelings & possibly a spot of stage-mothering….

You ideally need to please go read Ceres-Watch 1 for this to resonate BUT essentially, I go on and off observing this asteroid-turned- planet. So, as she has been in Virgo since November 2008 and is about to cross into Libra on August 4, this is a fab chance to collect some findings.

Note that ideas of what she represents vary widely. Ceres SO often ends up just sounding like the Moon. She is obviously linked with agriculture (the word cereal comes from her name) and as she is a.k.a.Demeter there is a link to her as that mythological mother…having to share custody of her daughter with Hades himself. Yah, Pluto…the demoted planet. Hmm. Some say Ceres is about the menses cycle & others call feminism.  Others say she signifies the eco warrior aspect of the Great Goddess.  Like Gaia.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see why wimmyn notice when Ceres goes into Libra – I think a shift from Virgo to Libra usually feels quite profound when any planet does it.

Also, if you are a mother, please compare your Moon and Ceres signs here along with which one you feel would most aptly signify your mothering style…I have Ceres in Pisces & the Moon in Libra & I think i’m more Libran Moonie at mothering with occasional veer-offs into Ceres-style. In fact, I think my Ceres only pops up when i feel absolutely absorbed by parenting to the exclusion of all else.  Could that be the key to Ceres?

A Dark Moon Mini Bunk-Off

Even Capricorns take breaks, it’s true.

But with Sun & Mercury in Taurus, Saturn + Ceres in Virgo + Pluto in Capricorn – there is a ferocious work ethic out there right now & good thing too, as Pluto in Capricorn kicks in…the G.F.C. and all. Mars in Aries also does not want to sit still or shut t.f. up. And note that Mars is moving toward a square with Pluto exact early next week. That’s incendiary but most likely nothing that wasn’t already seeded or established as a potential flashpoint in Dec 08…

My point; Today is the Darkest Day of the Dark Moon before it is New in Taurus. Even amidst all you have to do, take some time for some form of a mini-bunk off. Long sabbaticals are out. Entire weekends are most likely out for the time being. That’ll change when Uranus gets into Taurus…2018. I’m thinking more that you enjoy a whole sandwich & a bit of a sit-down. Some form of power-relaxation.

Venus is just getting back into Aries again. Direct but retracing the retrograde path. So, as it’s a Dark Moon, don’t be amazed if some churlish or less-than-the-Higher-Self style feelings emerge. Don’t act on them. Remember; rests & rejuvenations during the Dark Moon have several times their usual power. If someone goes you chez work, don’t react. Wait it out, look weak now – come back and go them back way harder, when the cosmos is onside. ie; after the New Moon.

Ceres-Watch

Ceres Illo By Mernie Buchanan

Hmmm. Ceres. Roman Goddess of the harvest, fertility, fruit & vegetables, grain…Ceres is where we get the word CEREAL from, also the Dwarf Planet previously known as an asteroid but upgraded at the same time PLUTO got demoted. Oddly – and I am not in mood to dwell upon darker aspects of Ceres/Demeter/Persephone myth today – Ceres wound up sharing her daughter with Pluto himself.

Anyway, i have not thought much re Ceres – i oft find her a bit Moon-like…But let’s do Ceres-Watch. Use Astrodienst, if you do not already know, to figure out your Ceres & see if it coincides with womanly caring et al. Ceres has been in Virgo (a nice fit, i.m.o) since November 2008 and will zoom into Libra in August 2009.  She is currently Zero Virgo so trining Pluto. Have those of you whom are mothers noticed any intensification of your parenting stance?

I have natal Ceres at Zero Pisces & have noticed – since the opposition of Ceres all April – that I have become really interested in transmitting helpful details to my children. I mean on everything from what exactly msg is to what a rental bond is and how to tell if someone is on drugs. Etc. The whole gamut. Everything I think i know.

Does anyone have any Ceres wisdom?
