CERES IN ASPECT

Today is our final section with our focus on Ceres.  We will look at aspects.  Previously, we looked at Ceres in general, the houses and the signs on March 13, 18 & 25, 2019.

As mentioned on March 18, when we speak of Ceres in the signs, it defines the way we might approach healing and also how we might uncover and own-up to our darker side.  If we were to take Ceres in Aries for example our way of healing would be in a very forward manner.  We might even act out our own desires to help and those that we try to assist and mother may not even want our assistance.  With Ceres in Aries it is always wise to ascertain whether or not those we are helping actually want our help.  When in this sign, we would be rather aggressive and probably feel as though we would know what is best for that person. 

We can also relate this information to ourselves and we might take an aggressive route to heal or nurture our self.  This would also apply to reaching out and finding our darker corners and then dealing appropriately or hopefully appropriately with these shadow issues.

When we speak of Ceres in the houses, which was touched on in our post on March 23, the house will provide information on where we apply our mothering nature towards others and ourselves.  For example, Ceres in the fifth house would be someone who uses love and affection to help the healing process or provide nurturing for those in need.  Remember this applies directly to how we would nurture ourselves with Ceres in the fifth house as well.  We may also work diligently on this with our children and lover with the hope that we would receive some recognition for our efforts. 

When becoming aware of our darker corners, we would approach this in a caring and nurturing manner, perhaps by being open with ourselves and allowing love to do most of the work with our fifth house example.

When we look at Ceres by aspect (and this can be through transit as well as natally), we need to look at the aspect in question and whether they are challenging ones or not.  It is also important to note which planet is making the aspect and bringing their energies into our lives. 

Transits are temporary while making aspects.  How tight the aspect is between Ceres and whatever planet or angle is involved would define how much of a challenge it is or might be or how much of an easy flow there may be and how we can use these energies appropriately throughout our lives. 

Some Astrologers have found that a separating aspect natally suggests that the issue is resolved although if the aspect is very tight there might still be still some energies yet to unfold. 

An applying aspect suggests that the problem or easy flow of the aspect is yet to be used appropriately to become a concrete means to assist one in the long haul.

There is a huge difference between a square to Saturn and a trine to Jupiter although the house position and sign position would have to be considered while defining these energies and how they might unfold.  Saturn does tend to restrict things and present us with lessons to learn while Jupiter usually suggests potential growth and expansion and good luck.  A clear understanding with respect to the rest of the chart would also have to be taken into consideration. 

Ceres’ energy is all about nurturing and being nurtured.  The way we nurture and receive nurturing is suggested by the positioning and aspects to the placement of Ceres. 

As mentioned in a previous post in our Ceres series, Ceres is yet to be analysed clearly and only time and gathered information will help the full understanding of its energies.

ENHANCED OPPORTUNITIES

We are fortunate to continually expansion of our insights and an understanding of our own true nature.  We are uncovering the secrets behind natural living and we can practice these basics daily.  

Some of us are graced with a natural recognition of these and the utilization of the potential within.  Some individuals are clearly on this path and inspire others along their way.  They are a beacon in our journey.

It IS a beautiful life no matter the strife experienced from time to time.  As we develop our understanding, we recognize that there are important lessons behind these times of strife and many of us have learned to actually welcome these lessons into our lives.  We understand that in challenging ourselves and opening up to awareness, we uncover dimensions of ourselves and of this reality that we did not previously know existed.  How fortunate are we to comprehend this?

Experiences met with resistance leaves us with an unpleasant reality. 

What a wonderful gift to be free to accept life’s events with open arms.  With this mental attitude, we are coming to understand the ego and its plight.  We can acknowledge that we are not part of ego nor is it a part us.  We have the potential of finding a life free of its influence but only through awareness can this happen.

Why are some so caught up in life’s events?  They simply are not ready to comprehend this realization but their evolutionary state knows when the time is right.  Do not judge those that do not comprehend, they are walking their own path.  They have chosen their journey and will experience what they need to experience for their own personal growth. We must accept this even when it hurts  (to stand back, watch and accept).  Who are we to judge or force our opinion on others?

We cannot heal others if we have not first taken care of our own wounds.  We can neither hurry our own personal evolution nor the personal evolution of someone else.  Patience they say is a virtue and we must certainly learn this. 

Be patient with yourself and appreciate the distance you have already travelled.

Allow peace even in the face of adversity.  Be strong particularly under these conditions.

Offer assistance to those that are ready to hear your message and your help. 

Know that you are moving in your intended direction.

CERES IN THE HOUSES

We continue our look at Ceres which began on March 13, 2019, and touched on the signs and Ceres on March 18, 2019.  Today we will focus on the houses.

The houses in Astrology have to do with areas of life.  Any planet or body in a house will use its energies and allocate it to that particular area of life.  For example, Mars has to do with energy and wherever you find Mars in the natal chart will be where you expend a lot of energy.  Mars in the tenth house would suggest that this individual would invest a lot of energy and drive towards reaching their objectives.  This may include making a name for themselves through their occupation or striving towards becoming known for what they have done with themselves in this life.

Ceres on the other hand has to do with nurturing and motherhood and the urge to protect.  It also has to do with the ways we provide for ourselves and for those we care for through acts of giving and how we work towards providing for our families.

For example, Ceres in the second house would suggest that this individual’s nurturing abilities would come through being reliable and providing stability to our family through money or emotional stability.  The second house has to do with our financial situation, material belongings, and the stability these things provide.  On a deeper level it has to do with stability in life.  This, as mentioned, can be measured in financial terms or through the ability to provide a guiding force to help others. 

These matters will also relate to our own personal needs connected to what was discussed.

When Ceres is found in the third house, emotional interaction and physical attentiveness may be created through communicational abilities.  When this individual needs support rather than providing a shoulder for someone to lean on and offering emotional support, they may support through communication tools.  This individual may be more of a talker with a little less emotional response being attached.  They would possibly offer a rational interchange as support.  They could offer their support in day to day activities and provide informative resolutions or ideas to help propel others forward.

Ceres in the eighth house, for example, may suggest that this individual offers their support or nurturing through deep internal examination which in turn would make others delve deep within themselves to uncover not only the resolution to problems but also the reason for these problems.  They may offer up assistance that may not be easy to handle and in some cases for those more emotionally sensitive, the eighth house approach could instigate arguments or uneasiness as these individuals cause deep truths to be brought to the surface. 

Sometimes the truth can be challenging and ego disputes may be commonplace when trying to assist others when coming from the energies of the eighth house.  Being a little more gentle might be helpful, although emotionally these people would “feel” what is taking place in other people’s lives.  Those with the eighth house Ceres can be insightful and some even possess abilities beyond what some consider normal.  The ability to dig deep to uncover earlier wounds with others and with themselves can provide solutions to issues that may have been part of the picture for a very long time.

Use the energies of each of the houses to understand how Ceres’ energies would be released.

THE JUPITER RETURN

Transiting Jupiter has a cycle of 12 years and then it returns to its natal position in our Astrology chart.  Each planet has a return cycle and you can draw up a chart for that particular moment in time when any planet comes back to its original position.  You would read this type of chart similar to that of a natal chart but it would indicate specifically in terms of the energies of the focal planet involved in the return to its birth position. 

The Jupiter return can be delineated every twelve years (approximately) by looking into the planet’s placement in the birth chart and then correlate it (now in transit) exactly to the same degree and minute to the time in the birth chart.

The house position will be the area of life that will bring opportunities, hope, good luck and expansion into life as these are the energies of Jupiter.  Jupiter brings with it an optimistic approach to the areas of life dictated by the house position in the natal chart.  This will be an area of growth and expansion.  The opportunities for growth in finances are increased, as well as potential good fortune in personal ways and in the occupation with Jupiter.  Once again, this is all reflective of the house position of Jupiter, the aspects Jupiter makes within the birth chart and the transiting aspects it will be receiving during the return period.

Jupiter nearly always promotes growth in some fashion or another; the only catch might be if it is in aspect to Saturn.  Jupiter pushes for expansion, optimism and good luck, while Saturn pushes for structure and discipline.  Saturn is often associated with lessons, delays and shortfalls especially if not enough preparation has been carried out for any given project or circumstance.

There can be expansion issues especially if Jupiter is found in the first house, as weight gain is possible.  Over-optimism and grand expectations can sometimes lead to less than expected results.  Make sure you also have a look at the house Jupiter rules in the birth chart.  The house with Sagittarius on the cusp will also promote all the things that Jupiter offers. 

It is important that the energies are used positively during this cycle as twelve years can seem like a long time and the general feeling of good fortune can make the recipient sit idle and do nothing with the energies at hand.  It is important that the energies available under this influence be used to build for the future but that it is also enjoyed while it lasts. 

If Jupiter moves into retrograde during the return and crosses its natal position several times, these energies will last longer and will enhance opportunities each time it crosses this particular point in the chart.  The first contact is usually the most powerful, so it is important that the recipient take advantage of the energies under this initial contact regardless of whether Jupiter goes retrograde or not.

EXPRESS YOURSELF

There are times when it is appropriate to stand behind the scenes and carry out your important work.  and then there are times to come out of our comfort zone to stand centre stage.  We will sometimes be asked to take the leading role.  We may adlib our role or we may study and rehearse extensively. 

When we are taking centre stage, we are meant to be there.  We are not speaking out of turn.  We are merely taking the role that is needed at the time.  Sometimes we need to voice ourselves in such a way that others are willing to listen.

Follow through on intuitive thoughts and visualizations that will instigate action that is required.  These open expressions may not only open the doors of insight for us but they may also open the doors for others to insight that might not otherwise have been pursued.  Our follow through, my at the very least, provide us with the reassurance that what we have to say is importance. 

There are times to raise our voices to be heard even though we are not comfortable doing so. 

With practice, we build confidence and become comfortable sharing the valuable information we have to communicate. 

Rising above our lack of confidence and the worry of saying the wrong thing or sounding stupid are simple ego interferences.  When we live in the moment and silence the mind, we allow ourselves to be propelled forward (eventually with confidence). 

Each one of us has an important voice.  We can share our knowledge and also respect the opinions of others at the same time. 

Will this be your day to allow complete expression? 

Will this be your day to release the shackles of suppression?

Will you allow yourself to rise above ego and push through ego’s negativity that persistently keeps you silent?

FULL MOON IN LIBRA - MARCH 20, 2019

For those new to reading our posts, the full Moon is a time to reap the rewards of past efforts (harvest from the garden of life, so to speak) or it little work has gone into something, it may be time to re-evaluate.  If you nurtured your seeds, it can be a rewarding harvest or if you have neglected your seeds, there may be hope to nurture your plans back to health.  If, however, you have completely neglected your garden, you may have to plough it under and start anew.

This current Full Moon is in the sign of Libra at zero degrees. This is known as a cardinal point in Astrology which is a place of action and there will be plenty of energy.  Anyone with a planet or angle close (within 4 to 5 degrees) to this placement by conjunction or opposition (and to a lesser degree square, trine, or sextile,) can use these energies to complete a project or see where you might tweak your plans to see them to fruition.

This project or goal could be personal in nature, internal if you wish; however it could also be external.  Much depends on what area you have already been working on.  The house position of the Full Moon will be the area of life associated with what these energies are about for you personally.  Aspects from other natal positions or angles will define this energy more clearly. 

With the Full Moon in the sign of Libra now is a time of balancing and harmonizing energies; a time of justice sought, truth revealed and sometimes change of direction and disruption.  This is due in part to the influence of transiting Uranus in the sign of Taurus which is currently quincunx this position.  A quincunx is an aspect of adjustment, somewhat disharmonious and can be challenging.  However, the change and disruption is necessary as change is a prerequisite of Uranus’ energies. 

Uranus seeks freedom.  It has a need for something new and is often found through dramatic, unconventional and erratic manners.  Sometimes its action is sudden and unexpected and the move in a new direction can be rather tumultuous, but as mentioned, necessary. 

Look to see which sign and house transiting Uranus is in with your natal chart.  Also review which planets in the birth chart are aspecting Uranus to get further insight into probabilities.  You should also have a look at the natal position and aspects to natal Uranus as this is always part of the underlying process taking place.  The natal potential always has to be reviewed.

The Full Moon is also tied to purging anything that no longer serves a viable purpose and this is strong with the influence of Uranus.  The Full Moon can also be reflective of past events and Uranus when Pluto is also part of the equation can bring these events or issues to the surface so you can deal with them. 

It is always best to do what needs to be done as the outer planets often force action and when we sit back and do nothing, the energies can push something to the surface and if forced to face these changes, they may come to us in a far less desirable manner than if we did the purge when first nudged to do so. 

How we judge the action, good or bad, does not matter.  It is a time of reconciliation and change which is always beneficial in the end. 

Move ahead with plans if you have taken the time previous to this period to carry out your goals.  Line up with the energies available.  Uranus may push you hard to make changes, but always try to weigh things out before jumping with eyes closed.

SUN IN ARIES MARCH 2019

The Sun moves into the sign of Aries late on March 20, 2019. 

Aries is a cardinal, fire sign and stimulates directed energy towards life objectives.  There is a lot of enthusiasm for those with a strong Aries emphasis in their chart.  This includes not only the Sun in Aries but also those with an Aries Ascendant or to a lesser degree those with their Sun in the first house.  There are differences in the energies between these placements as they are tempered by aspects to the placements.  Also those with an Aries Ascendant will show this personality to the world while those with a Sun in Aries will still reveal this character trait but a lot of these characteristics may be internal.  Those with their Sun in the first house will have built in Aries tendencies added to their Sun sign, so someone with a Sun in the first house and a Sun in Scorpio for example will have both character traits although the Sun, under most conditions, has the stronger energy out of the two.

Aries individuals can be aggressive in their pursuit and are usually the first ones to “sign-up”, although due to this tendency they also make their share of mistakes.  They actually would benefit from making more calculated moves before plunging into life’s situations; however, they are seldom devastated by their mistakes.  They learn from the lesson, they are resilient and quickly pick themselves up and move forward. 

Aries individuals can be dominating.  They seem to know what they want and will spend little time wasted on thinking about moving ahead.

Some Arians tend to have a “me first” attitude and go after what is important to them.  This is not to say that they will push others out of their way in their pursuit although this is possible.  Aries individuals are relentless once they have made their choice. 

If you need a helping hand, most Arians can be counted on to, at the very least, do their part. 

These individuals are rarely short of energy and often plunge into action. 

Aries people can have a short fuse and some have full-blown tempers although under most conditions if they do explode they tend to let things go quickly and do not hold on to issues.  They react as quickly as they move out of situations. 

These individuals are the go-getters of the Zodiac (being ruled by Mars).  Most Aries individuals make wonderful entrepreneurs and are fearless in their pursuits.

Currently those with their Sun in Aries between 15 to 29 degrees will have Pluto making a square to their Sun.  Since Pluto rules transformation and going below the surface to bring up any hidden issues that needs to surface, this can be a time when they will uncover or go deep into hidden areas of their subconscious.  Now is the time to dig up anything that now needs to be re-evaluated, regenerated and transformed.  Digging up the truth is a strong characteristic of Pluto and those being affected by this square may find that life’s course is being altered and realigned although it may not be all together that pleasant of an experience if these energies are resisted. 

Much depends on the house position of transiting Pluto and the natal Sun.  Reviewing these will help to define the areas of life affected.  Check where Pluto is natally located in the birth chart for further definition.

Aries is a strongly driven sign, so those being affected by transits at this time should use this time wisely to push themselves ahead into new experiences or push ahead with plans already set in motion, especially after March 28, 2019 when Mercury goes direct (Mercury went retrograde on March 5, 2019).
