CERES

Ceres is an asteroid which is found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.  Its main influence in Astrology focuses on nurturing and protection, but has also been known to be connected to anguish and grief. 

Some individuals suggest that Ceres is connected to loss and that people will go to great lengths to regain what was once lost even if it means discarding anything that gets in their way of this recovery.  The problem is sometimes we cannot regain what is lost.  This is where the nurturing instinct and protection influences may surface with someone who has lost something important to them or in direct relationship to “something” that has been physically lost to them.

The placement of Ceres by sign and house position will define what area of life needs nurturing and in what manner this nurturing can take place. 

A couple of examples might help.  We will use both the sign and the house placement for clarity.  If, for example, Ceres were found in the sign of Aries, what this individual needs and wants to give would be self-regulated.  They would work diligently driving themselves, sometimes using force, to achieve their objectives.  Action is what is needed and if for example this were in the third house, their needs and wants may involve their siblings or even neighbours.  A great way to help heal or nurture that which needs to be nurtured would be through communicative techniques with this example house placement. 

With our example, the intellect would play a significant role in what unfolds.  They would feel as though it would be up to them to move ahead and their priority may be to nurture what suits them or push for nurturing those siblings, but this individual would want to be the forerunner in what takes place. 

Another example may be Ceres in the sign of Leo.  These individuals would really appreciate attention and even admiration if it goes to the extreme.  Above all with this example, these individuals would like respect and to be noticed for what they do even if the actions were being carried out for someone else.  They would want to control the situation but would have strong consideration for what the other person may want.  If Ceres happened to be in the fifth house with our Leo example, the focus may involve a romantic partnership or their children.  Enjoyment and experiencing life would be strong points with this placement and living life to the fullest would help in the healing process. 

Let’s look at one more example.  Let’s say that this last example, the individual has a Scorpio Ceres in the 12^th house.  This individual may need healing through acts connected to sexual expression or through internal integration and eventual transformation.  There would be a need or deep understanding of the mystical or spiritual side of life and a strong want for full understanding of these subjects.  Anything mysterious would open doors to eventual healing through deep self-study or a strong push to help others through their own methods of self-study revealing anything that needs to surface.  This in turn would lead to healing deep integrated wounds. 

Due to this placement of Ceres being in the twelfth house with this last example, this individual may work behind closed doors or undercover in some manner, as this work could be secretive or subdued in some way.  They may work in hospitals or prisons or work as a volunteer for the underdog.  With this placement, they may use their own understanding of what needs healing in others because they have lived under similar conditions themselves (knowledge through direct experience).

There is a strong need for healing and also to be the healing agent when it comes to Ceres in the Astrology chart.  It is a mothering influence and some say it is connected to the sign Virgo with Venus having rulership.  So Venus in the sign of Virgo suits this asteroid (which is also known as a dwarf planet).

FULFILLING OUR DREAMS

It is time to make our dreams come true.  Many of us have been sitting around long enough.  Now is the time to take action.

What are we waiting for? 

We are the only ones holding us back. 

Many of our dreams have been sitting on the shelf and we have been waiting for the perfect moment to move forward.  Stop waiting for that perfect moment.  It will never come.

Many of us resist moving forward because of the fear of failure.  Is it not better to try and fall short than to live our lives with regrets for never trying at all? 

What we term as failure is simply a lesson to help us adjust our dreams to make them workable.

All dreams have the capability of transforming into reality.  We have what it takes to make those necessary moves.  Go for it.  Forge ahead and if we fail, learn from the lesson so that we can begin again.  There is no time like the present.  Take advantage of this moment.  Strive to make our ambitions a reality.  Believe! 

We and we alone hold the key to our own personal success.  It may not unfold as we might think it should at times, but at the very least it will unfold, so push on.  Occasionally life drops opportunities on our laps.  More often than not, however, we must orchestrate the action but not without stepping into the unknown.

We can do it.  Believe!!

URANUS

Uranus, the planet of revolution and often sudden and drastic change, often causes havoc in people’s lives when it transits through the heavens.  It is the ruler of Aquarius, the water barer, and is commonly known as the awakener.  Its influence will function as a huge factor in making necessary changes to our lives. 

Uranus makes changes in areas of life that have outgrown their usefulness.  Uranus shows areas that require alteration and liberation from anything that could be considered traditional or restrictive in nature.  It creates a desire for the new and unique and often produces this in unexpected and in unconventional ways.

Uranus moves through each sign in approximately 7 years and takes a full 84 years to circle the zodiac.  During its movement, it creates quick results and a feeling of liberation and freedom from restriction.  It governs universal brotherhood and is humanitarian in its nature.  Uranus will force us to have an honest look at life’s issues and then enforce any necessary changes.  If we choose not to adhere to what is being proposed, this influence will often affect us in a much more abrupt manner and will then most likely be out of our control.

Uranus is rebellious in its nature and pushes us forward to independent thinking and with a flair for the unconventional and unique.  Uranus also has been known to produce shocking awakenings especially when our eyes have been closed to what is now required.  Uranus governs universal truths and intuition.  Anyone with strong Uranus tendencies has a unique way of rendering these truths (quite often in an abrupt matter-of-fact fashion).

Uranus’ action is unpredictable, imaginative and also very inspirational.  It is the higher octave of Mercury and therefore is considered a planet linked to mental processing.  It deals a lot with potential outcomes and is future oriented.  Uranus pushes us to come out into the open and express our uniqueness and creativity.  It is linked with advanced mental quickness and agility, similar to Mercury, although the thinking process may be considered bohemian in its nature.

Uranus rules electricity and anything electronic, such as computers and technology at its newest.  Uranus is anything but conventional.  Depending upon where it is found in our Astrology charts, it will indicate where we choose to reveal our originality and uniqueness. 

If, for example, Uranus is closely linked to the Ascendant in the first house, originality will shine through.  Many would consider someone with Uranus close to the Ascendant as a bit of an eccentric and they would not be ashamed of this flair which makes them stand apart from the crowd.  

Uranus will push us to be different and also to be proud of our uniqueness.

SHIP OF LIFE

It is said that we learn from life’s harder lessons and we would certainly hope that we listen and heed to the hard lessons. 

Why is it many of us do not seem to heed the easier lessons? 

Is there some other way to teach us lessons without having the hard experiences and we can still reap the full understanding we need to learn?

If we had full control over every event we experienced in our life, would we shelter ourselves from the challenging lessons we need to learn by reducing the hardships experienced? 

Would we choose an easier path to enlightenment?  They say that the best lessons learned are the more difficult ones, but why is that? 

Most of us accept that life teaches us what we need to learn, but can we accept without question some of the challenges that are provided by life? 

In reality there is little choice of the events that come our way (certainly choice on how we deal with them) and we have to adapt to these conditions.  They are what they are.  Quite the statement, but ultimately this is the truth.

Fighting hardships that are placed in front of us only serves to make what feels difficult even harder.  It may appear in the beginning that we are winning when we are paddling up stream against the rapids but eventually we will tire and the current will take us downstream where we were meant to go in the beginning. 

Stop paddling upstream.  Turn the kayak downstream right from the get go, climb in and enjoy shooting the rapids.  Ego tells us to paddle against the current.  What does this accomplish?

We are well equipped to handle most of life’s events.  There are times when we travel in a one-person kayak but there will be times when we have to utilize a ship.  Call upon the best mates you can find to help sail that ship.  A dear friend, earthly trained professionals, our higher self, our guides and Source are the best shipmates available. 

We are in control of how we sail our ship.  We make the decisions on how to sail this life by our attitude towards the waters we ride.  Put the journey into proper perspective.  Attitude and belief structure are key ingredients to resolving issues that enter our lives.  When we meet with a trained professional they do not do the work for us, they guide us to understanding, but in the end we make the adjustments that are necessary.

Regardless of how we address our journey, we are the captain at the helm and make the decisions of what we are doing with the ship.  Realize your control and strength.  Know that these are yours.  Work as hard as you need to control your ship in these turbulent waters but know this storm will pass and you will again enjoy the calm waters.

FULL MOON IN VIRGO MARCH 9 2020

Today, March 9, 2020 we will be experiencing a Full Super Moon in Virgo at 19 degrees 36 minutes at 1:48 p.m. EDT. 

Those that have planets especially conjunct, square or opposition to this degree in your natal chart will be affected by this Lunar event.  An orb of up to 3 degrees either applying or separating can be used (16 degrees to 22 degrees). 

There are two close transiting planets making aspects to this Full Moon.  Neptune is at 18 degrees in the sign of Pisces, so in opposition to the Full Moon and Jupiter is at 21 degrees Capricorn which is in trine to this Full Moon placement. 

For those new to our page and to the energies of the Moon, Full Moons are known as culmination points.  This is the time to harvest whatever seeds (plans) that were planets (started) six months ago under the influence of the Virgo New Moon.  We now see the results of our efforts whether we fall short due to not enough preparation or not enough application or whether we reap a bountiful harvest.  There will be times that we will reap our efforts, or we may need to make minor alterations or sometimes we may need to let go of things and begin again.

Virgo’s energies will insist on the meticulous handling of materials.  They will point out any flaws in the procedure and will seek perfection.  Likely you have been hard at work and now the fruits are ready for harvest.  Everything must be in its proper order but try not to be too critical of your work.  Perfection under many circumstances are simply not attainable.  Details will be important and the energy that you have put into your work will definitely be seen now. 

How have you done? 

Were you working diligently towards the completion? 

Is your goal now complete or does it need some minor tweaking?  You be the judge. 

The house where this Full Moon is located within your natal chart will be the area of life that is involved.  Other natal aspects to this position will give further details and details are what you are looking for.  Nothing half way suits you especially if you too have a Virgo Sun placement.

The opposition from Neptune might make things a little unclear and you may not be seeing things as they truly are.  Other people might not view things as you do and they may infiltrate your work and perhaps ask you to work with them on this project.  Neptune can certainly make things uncertain and blurred and you will need to use a clear perspective in order to see things as they truly are.  This can manifest in many ways.  Perhaps you view your work as perfect and nothing needs changing or perhaps you feel as though there is still some work to do.  Ask others for their opinions as they may have a clearer perspective than you do, but make sure you can trust them.  Don’t be too objective as you might just need someone else to offer advice.  Alternatively, perhaps someone is standing in the way and not allowing full expression.

The trine from Jupiter in most cases brings fortunate outcomes and growth, and opportunities are often a by-product when Jupiter is involved.  This may be related to business especially if the 10^th or 6^th houses are part of the equation.  This may be personal in nature and at the same time involve the home and family especially if the 1^st and 4^th houses are involved. 

It will be important to weigh things out but you should be ready for the next phase of this adventure.  Jupiter does offer good luck and perhaps finances are involved as well as your profession or the actual working environment if the 2^nd, 6^th or 10^th are involved. 

Make sure you are seeing things clearly and don’t be too fussy. Overlook some of the small details and if things look good, move ahead.  Sometimes opportunities come in different packaging than what we are expecting.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE IN OPPOSITION NATAL MOON

If you have your natal Moon in the sign of Virgo, transiting Neptune may be in opposition to this position, depending on the degree of your Moon. 

Oppositions often involve other people and the Moon has a huge influence on your emotional makeup and your reaction to life’s events.  During this phase, you will have to be aware that you could be highly influenced by others, perhaps by deception or you may have a difficult time seeing through a veil of uncertainty.  Neptune tends to make life’s issues rather cloudy.

As mentioned, the Moon has a significant influence on our emotions.  During this phase, if you have this aspect in your chart, you may find that you are experiencing odd or unusual mood swings.  People seem to affect you even if you are not aware of it.  If you find that your moods suddenly shift for no apparent reason, check to see who is in your surroundings and what is transpiring currently in their life.  You may be taking on their energies on a subconscious level.

Your intuition may be somewhat off and although Neptune can inspire great intuitive insights and clairvoyant abilities, you would be wise to have someone who knows you well offer their insight before you make any sudden adjustments to your life.  If your world’s view is obscured and uncertain, understand that this could be due to the influence of Neptune and life should become clearer over time as this aspect moves away from being an influence in your chart.

Your inner feelings may not be overly accurate during this aspect, and you may be reading things incorrectly. 

Again, it is best to ask others for their opinion, but make sure that they are reliable and trustworthy. 

If this energy is affecting a love relationship, you may find that you are having trouble seeing your mate with clarity, even if you feel you are.  You may be putting them on a pedestal and not seeing all their little flaws.  Eventually you may be disappointed to find out that they are only human after all.

The home and family may also need some attention as these are areas ruled by the Moon especially if the Moon is in the fourth house, if Neptune is currently transiting through the fourth house or if your natal Moon rules the fourth house. 

If the fifth house is highlighted, perhaps this energy may involve your children or your lover.  Your creativity might be heightened if the fifth is highlighted. 

If the sixth house is highlighted, take care of your health and make sure you are eating correctly and exercising appropriately.  Health can be affected because of what is now taking place in your life.  Mental confusion is often an off-shoot of this aspect and can create energies that make it hard to diagnose illnesses.  There would have to be other factors in your chart suggesting something similar with your health for this to be significant.  You need at least three indicators in your chart suggesting something similar to each other to have an affect your life.

Make sure you are looking at life from a positive perspective, as Moon in Virgo has a tendency to over-analyze everything and tear apart even the best of conditions.  Always focus on the positive in life as you magnify whatever you focus on.  Although this may be a troublesome transit for some, you can learn a great deal about your intuitive insight and how the mind operates.  The greatest lessons come from the most challenging conditions.  Use the energies in positive ways to enhance your spiritual understanding and intuitive insight.
