Ceres, The Great Mother Principle
The Moon and Venus describe the only socially acceptable roles that women were allowed to play over the past few thousand years, while men had the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as archetypal role models. http://www.homestead.com
Ceres, Goddess of the Environment
Those who have explored astrology beyond the entertaining Sun Sign forecasts know that the horoscope consists of several planets, not just the Sun. Each planet represents, in psychological terms, an archetype which describes a pattern of needs or motivations.
Ceres
Ceres in the horoscope shows the early nurturing we received and how we nurture others. It also directly rules food and clothing. I have seen two cases of professional designers who had Ceres aspecting Pallas (which rules the ability to see patterns).
Ceres Cycles
Now after analyzing Ceres influence and Ceres-Moon link I will focus on the Ceres cycle. There are interesting things to discover about Ceres complete transit through the entire zodiac.
Ceres - Earth Mother
The Ceres asteroid represents the rhythms in a woman's procreation cycles. In her role as mother, the Ceres woman treasures family heirlooms. The biology of life cycles and female passages are within Ceres' domain.
The Return of the Goddess: Ceres and Consciousness
Our place in the cosmos is rare and sweet. We live on Planet Earth, the third rock from the sun, where life is supported, flowers blossom and birds sing. We define our position and our gratitude for it, by examining the nature of our celestial neighbors.
