3rd December 2009

Seeing as I'm a trifle bored with no inspiration at this moment, I'm going to fall back onto the asteroids.  I covered Juno yesterday, so maybe it's time to look at Ceres.  Food, yes.  Cuddles and affection?  Well, sort of.  Mummy?  Definitely.  But more than any of these, Ceres is about your capacity to give and receive nurturing.  Someone with a strong Ceres could be a chef, a hotelier, a nurse or dietician, a clothing manufacturer - anything that deals with providing the basics for existence.  Food, clothes, shelter and warmth.  If Ceres is too strong it can denote a smothering as opposed to a mothering in childhood.  Ceres is the only asteroid that is big enough to be round.  It's how you physically care for and tend those who benefit from your help.  A strong Ceres person enjoys feeding others.  Ceres is the origin of the word cereals; she's the goddess of the grain.   And increasingly, I'm finding Ceres strong in the charts of individuals who have wheat or even gluten intolerances.  Completely unsubstantiated, no medical background, but thirty years of experience at spotting this kind of stuff.

Thank you for your short and sweet astrological insights, Steve. I have Ceres-Sun square the Moon natally and am discovering I may indeed have an intolerance for wheat and/or gluten. Also, my Dad was kind of nurturing (Ceres-Sun) in his own way, at least for a man of his generation. When we were young, he liked to fix us children breakfast, sometimes prepared our lunches for school and often took us for picnics in parks - that kind of thing. I also note that there is a bit of heaviness in the air today, perhaps reflected by the Moon forming a t-square with Saturn and Pluto?

Never mind you having no inspiration Steve, somethings been going on in my chart....don't know what but its given me a sh.t week......washing machine flooded the kitchen, new laptop trashed with a virus that my husband accidently downloaded (had a row about that), had a big row with driver in the middle of the road, said the wrong thing to someone else and finally lost cable tv and not feeling the least bit Christmasy!!
