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?

Astro-Query: What In Your Abode Is Most Astro-Cliched?

What, in chez You, is the item or room that most reflects your Sun or Moon Sign???  Mine is totally my bedside table although the bathroom cabinet (alphabetically arranged essential oils) comes next. And you? Smarty-pants peeps can cite the sign on the cusp of their 4th House, if they like.

I always think the Sagg cliche is a bike, packed bag with passport, surfboard and/or set of skis in the hallway. Taurus sink $$$ into a couch they can sink into to think. Geminis love gadgets & Leos need a big plasma to watch wanky movies + maybe a throne…

Virgo would technically be into wheatgrass but also hide a secret cache of luxury chocolate…

Crab Peeps? Nostalgia & antiques for sure…

Astro-Baby: Stork Theory 101

So given that children tend to enquire from whence they came way before one has an explanation prepped, what do you tell them?

I got my son to watch the DVD of Where Did I Come From? when he was four and then asked if he had any questions. I think i was chanelling my Mars in Virgo. “Only one,” he said. “Did you have to do that to get me?” He’s Cancerian and they tend to be a bit funny about their mothers.

And when I airily explained the biology of it to my daughter, she sighed with total Gemini cynicism and rolled her big blue eyes. “I know all that boring stuff. I’m more interested in where i was before that.”

Of course, it’s way later when you get the tricky questions: “So, have you ever had a threesome?”  “Why did you leave X?” “Would you consider yourself hot?” “What is a fetish?” “Why do people dress up as the opposite sex?”  “What is an X rated movie?” “Is it true that the Dad of Jesus is a Ghost?” “How long were you a virgin for?”

SO what is the answer? Virgoan precision? Absolute Saggo candour?  Leo-Libra Social Engineering? Gemini-Piscean fibbing-procrastination?

Astro-Baby…

By popular demand-nagging-guilting-wheedling, I am introducing a new feature – Astro-Baby!  I do find astrology a fascinating way to help understand your children. I have retrieved from the archives an old anecdote re my son – who is Kataka but with a multiple Leo conjunction – to illustrate & as I think it’s funny.  It’s below…I don’t do charts for children generally as it is nice to let them blossom and see how they manifest their astro. But they work really well…It’s good to look at some key points of their chart. eg; Having been fine at swimming as a toddler, my boy suddenly developed this extreme water phobia, which nothing would cure. Then one day at the swimming  pool, when he was about seven, he noticed two “older” girls staring at him and he dove straight in the deep end. Phobia cured.  That’s your multiple-Leo in action.

So is this;

He’s a teenager now. Mars, Mercury Jupiter all in Leo…Anyway, he went to the doctor, suspecting that he had picked up some vile gastric thing from his trip to Thailand…

Comes home, saying the doctor said he’s fine…

Me: Really?

Multi-Leo: Yeah. She was really attactive and she said i had amazing abs.

Me: What about the gastric thing?

Multi-Leo: Oh fine. But I said no to having diarrhea or flatulence because I didn’t want to ruin the image she so clearly had of me being really fit and all.

Me: Are you for real?

Multi-Leo: She thinks it might be something to do with our furniture…

Me: Furniture?  Did you actually go to see a DOCTOR? Or just chat up someone at the gym?

Multi-Leo: Yeah, she wants a stool sample. Do we even have any stools?

And with my daughter, she has Sun-Mars-Venus in Gemini/in the 5th house so absolutely craves creativity, art, knowledge & goss. But also Neptune Rising so slack at admin to a stupendous degree…She would rather draw or listen to music. Neptune Rising is beautiful, charismatic & artistic but can be hopeless re “reality.” But the Multi-Gemini means she has an astonishingly quick mind & encylopediac knowledge of about 100 people and their biz. She just knows things – every bit of info is processed, filed appropriately & stored.

So, without projecting a whole lot onto them, have a look at just your childs Sun, Rising and Moon sign – see if you can see how they’re operating…Nurture the Moon, respect the Rising & let the Sun just shine…And if they’re contradictory influences, see how you can help them work together a bit more. eg; Leo Rising is a show-off & will respond to music like you wouldn’t believe but if the Moon is in Scorpio, they need a locked box, secret diary sort of a thing and the absolute assurance of privacy.

Another example; My son’s Moon is in Virgo conjunct Venus so that’s innately health-conscious. He saw Supersize Me & totally altered his eating habits that very day. He invents his own little health rituals such as eating an entire garlic & fancy kinds of push-ups. So a Moon in Virgo child feels secure with healthy rituals & would love – for example-  his/her own diary or scheduler. A Moon in Libra child would be more likely to respond to aromatherapy than other Moons – maybe even tidy a room if they get to spritz a little something around later. Aries anything needs to compete & will go psycho-bats if give the kind of well-meaning goo-goo that they can’t. Taurus hates having their stuff moved around.

So I will do more along these lines in future Astro-Baby…

Astro-Beauty; Your Mother Taught You…

Okay, so it is Mother’s Day soon & here is a chance to think – as deeply or as bimbonically as you like – re what lessons your Mother taught you about beauty, grooming & fashion. Either purposefully or by her example. Was it sensible – cleanse your face before you go to bed? Insane? Irrelevant? Inspirational? Controlling? You are what sign and she is what sign? Would you pass the same stuff onto a daughter of yours – hypothetical or for real? You can throw in  your Moon signs to this as well if you like, because the Mother IS kind of your Moon sign. Your Moon is totally what you want her to be, for sure.
