Ceres can clue you in to the times where you felt smothered by your parents, and, conversely, to the parts who still need nourishment. In your chart, Ceres speaks to balance, seasons, and cycles, and about the attachments and feelings which can throw everything into disarray. Persephone would spend six months of the year above ground, at her mother’s side, the spring and summer, and six months down below, with her new husband as the queen of hell, for the fall and winter. Only by striking a deal could the gods restore balance. When Ceres’ daughter Persephone was abducted by Pluto, god of the underworld, the mother of the world unleashed an eternal famine, starving all life until her daughter would be returned. The Roman name for Demeter, goddess of the Harvest, Ceres represents a titanic, possibly overpowering mother figure. Only you decide what their stories mean to you.įind our guide to some of the key players in your chart, below.
The high femmes of antiquity were often denigrated and disrespected, but in reinterpreting them through evolving lenses of gender and identity, they awaken new possibilities of self-realization. Most of the popularly-evoked asteroids are named after women deities, offering a contrast to the male-skewing planetary pantheon, and a less-traveled avenue of mythological interpretation. The first four asteroids, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, discovered in the 19th century, were originally believed to be planets, and are still considered essential. Though you can spend a lifetime fitting them all into the mosaic of your chart, most astrologers work with a core ensemble of characters. Over 12,000 asteroids have been catalogued in our solar system, with all manner of names assigned, including Nancy, Merlin, and Pecker. Though your planets and signs lay out the big epics of your life, the asteroids act as the cast of characters, adding detail and dimension to your emotional history and relationship dynamics. Asteroids, then, in this grand and exhausting metaphor, would be the special sauce, the garnish, the indelible addition that makes your chart a signature dish. If your astrology chart is a restaurant, the signs choose the table, the houses set the plating, and the planets are the food.
