Ceres Part 2

Ceres in Aries: They love any physical activity, and often use it as a way to relax. They have a need to be independent and may be prone to self realisations. A lot of them. They need to be physically stimulated often, so they may fidget a lot or naturally snuggle up to people without even knowing that they're doing it. They value sharing experiences with the ones they love above any other type of gift. They find it much easier to show love, rather than to outright say it. They want to help their loved ones to find their independence. They are very protective but hate asking for help. They may have issues surrounding their own self-worth, even though they are the first person to boost the confidence of others. They need to allow themselves to work through their grief, rather than ignoring it.

Ceres in Taurus: Their love language may be touch; they absolutely love to be held and physically comforted by the ones they love. It's vital that their home is a place where they feel safe and loved, and they may like having physical reminders of good experiences in their home, such as having framed photos on the wall. They probably love comfort food, they just need to make sure that this doesn't become a problem. Eating some chocolate when you're sad is all good, but if you're doing it every day, then you should probably look into other ways of comforting yourself. They love to be pampered, even if they try to deny this fact or try to deny themselves this due to self-guilt. Things like massages may seem very appealing to them. They wish to provide financial stability for others, and find comfort through material matters, such as physical gifts. Any issues surrounding their finances will be particularly hard for them due to the comfort money usually gives them. They may be prone to being manipulated and/or manipulating others. It depends on the rest of their chart. They don't like to let go of their grief, which is very unhealthy for their grieving process and wellbeing as a whole.

Ceres in Gemini: They grow when communicating with new people in a positive way, even if they're more introverted than extroverted. It's important for them to be kind or at least civil with more or less everyone they meet. They may find themselves drawn to education, whether that means following higher education, going into the sector as a career, or just constantly having a need to learn new things. Places like libraries or old bookshops may be appealing and comforting to them. They like to talk things through as a form of care for themselves and for others. They may be more comfortable with verbally expressing their love rather than showing it. They love to spend time with the ones they truly love. Their identity may be primarily built of their intellect, so they may have some confidence issues surrounding this. They can't easily deal with rejection. Despite this, they quite literally reject their emotions during times of grief. They need to talk to others in times of hardship.

Ceres in Cancer: They tune into their maternal side and instincts when caring for others, and like to be treated in a similar way. They are very protective of their family and feel like they have a duty to look after them. Remember that this doesn't necessarily mean your biological family. Just like those with Taurus in this placement, it's important that their home is a safe and loving environment. Their home is their special place and should be treated as such. They want to provide this sense of security for their loved ones, and they really do want to care for them. These people often make great parents if they decide to have children. If not, they would at least be quite good with kids. They love to form emotional bonds and connections with others, and this comes very easy to them. However, they might deal with abandonment issues and/or self-esteem issues. They also may have a tendency to cling on to their grief for fear of moving on and forgetting. They need to remember that it's okay to get on with their life; they shouldn't be bound by their grief.

Ceres in Leo: Self-expression and developing their creativity is vital for their self-growth. They have a strong need to be recognised and appreciated and struggle greatly when they feel like they're not loved. Deep down they are a true artist and may be gifted in a certain form of art. Caring for others gives them a huge sense of pride and they might centre their identity around how they do this. They truly want to do their best with their care and are not ones to do this half-heartedly without good reason. They feel loved when they're at the centre of someone else's attention. They thrive on praise from others but they need to learn how to not always rely on this. They need to be able to motivate themselves and this is something they are destined to learn during their lifetime. They are confident in their care but it can lack a sense of empathy. They are good at raising other's confidence, and often do this by recognising the originality of others.

Ceres in Virgo: As most Virgo placements would also imply, anyone with this one probably has some kind of workaholic mentality. They value their work highly and often won't stop until they feel like they're done. They care for other people through discipline, so their way of showing you that they care would be telling you where you're going wrong and why you shouldn't do that. This makes them sound like an overbearing parent or teacher, but they just want to protect you from making bad decisions, and this seems to be the easiest way to do it. They can be harsh when doing this, so they should be told when to rein it in, but they really do care and aren't being mean for the sake of it. They love to help others improve their general skills because they really want them to go far in life. They generally take criticism well because they understand why they're being criticised and know that it will help them in the long run. They love to learn new things, especially in a tactile way. They define themselves based on their achievements, but because of this they can unrealistically high expectations. They go through grief rather quickly, which means that they can overlook what they need to work through. They need to take more time for themselves more often.

Ceres in Libra: These people are highly focused on helping other people, which they often do by expressing their acceptance of their loved ones, and by building a stable relationship with them. They're very good at adapting to the specific needs of specific people, as they understand that everyone is different, and are very observant when it comes to this. It doesn't take them long to work out what a certain person wants/needs. They thrive on communication and stability with a person, and they love to share with them. They also love general intimacy, and this doesn't necessarily mean just sex. They can be selfless to the point of neglecting themselves completely, and this is a hard thing for them to overcome because they base their identity so much through others. They need to learn how to put themselves first and how to separate themselves from other people. Their identity is their own. They are quite open with their emotions so grief isn't as difficult as it could be.

Ceres in Scorpio: People with this placement want to have real connections with the people in their lives. They care for others through any and all kinds of intimacy, and like to be treated in a similar fashion. They don't favour emotional or physical care, tending to combine the two instead. They try to inspire their loved ones to achieve their very best because they think personal transformation is very important. Growth and control are also valued highly with this placement. They prefer to stifle their emotions, so they unknowingly make dealing with grief more difficult for themselves than it could be. They need to learn how to open up more to others.

Ceres in Sagittarius: People with this placement absolutely love to learn and explore, and they need the freedom to do so in order to feel loved. This is how they best grow and thrive. They want to inspire and support the other people in their lives so that they can help them do their best and get through hard times. Their own confidence and optimism helps them greatly with this. They also tend to use their own past experiences and knowledge to help others. They like to build their identity on these things, as well as their beliefs, morals and, to an extent, their loved ones. They have a tendency to avoid grief, preferring to stay strong for other people. That isn't to say that they ignore their grief altogether. They do work through it at some point, it just takes them longer than most.

Ceres in Capricorn: This placement is an indicator that the native holds recognition and achievement in very high esteem. They feel that other people truly care about them when they try to help them achieve their best. Stability is also very important to them and is the main reason why they want to be successful. They're quite big on responsibility and discipline because it's important to them that the people in their lives also achieve success. This focus that they have can mean that they are sometimes too hard on themselves, so they need to understand where to draw the line. They need to learn that their self-worth is not just defined by their achievements in life, and that failure is not necessarily a bad thing. They sometimes feel guilty for dealing with their emotions and grief because they don't think they have the time to work through that side of themselves. They need to learn that this isn't true.

Ceres in Aquarius: These people like to support their loved ones through genuine friendship and by defending them. They loved individuality as a whole and it's vital to them that the people in their life are accepting of one's individuality. They try to make sure that their loved ones feel wanted and respected. They like to be treated in a similar way but they also need a lot of freedom. They need to feel like they're able to breathe. Their role in their community is important to their identity, as well as their connections, originality and creativity. Their politics and what they believe in is also crucial. They may struggle with intimacy and intense emotions because of their tendency to be somewhat of a lone wolf. They're the type of person to have lots of friends but not many close ones. They prefer to detach themselves from their feelings.

Ceres in Pisces: People with this placement are great at understanding and emotionally supporting others. They're selfless to the point of self-sacrifice when it comes to their loved ones, especially to their children. They want to be strong and dependable for others as much as they can. They are sympathetic, compassionate and hugely accepting. They have a large and very alive imagination which needs to be constantly fuelled. They have a tendency to work themselves to the bone so they need to be reminded that they deserve to have a break and be looked after. They sometimes have issues related to their self-worth because they mainly define themselves by how they support others. They constantly feel like they need to be helping someone. Grief can be difficult for them because they feel their emotions so intensely. They are easily overwhelmed by their feelings so they need to learn how to cope in a different way.

Ceres 💖✨✨

In astrology (in my opinion), Ceres is what we have experienced in our childhood and what we have made of it. It is how we first nurture ourselves and how we then use our experiences to nurture others. Ceres is the comfort, nurturing, and caring nature in all of us and where it stemmed from.

Ceres in Aries: There was once a time in your childhood that you had to learn to take care of yourself. Whether is was because your parents were not there physically or emotionally, or maybe you had to take the role of the parent and care for your siblings. Whatever it may be, your nurturing blossomed from a lack thereof and has its roots set in self-dependence. You may have started doing things like cooking and cleaning at an age younger than most, or maybe you were forced to be your own emotional support. Your wound was put there by physical and/or emotional neglect and was healed by independence, if you weren't going to get enough nurturing from someone else then you were going to nurture yourself. Your parents cared for themselves so you did to.You do not particularly like to be cared for by other others anymore because you have learned to care for yourself, even at the lowest times there's still a will to self nurture inside. When you need healing you move, whether it be through running, dancing, pacing, or just regular everyday movement. You do not stop moving, therefore never allowing a wound to sit and fester like it did in your childhood. And to others you teach the same, you tell them to rely on themselves because nothing and no one else is always reliable, you would show your child how to be independent and how to do things for themselves, there is always a need to be two steps ahead of the chance of neglect and that is how you prefer to heal others. Above all, Ceres in Aries is the unrelenting method of rising above a childhood.

Ceres in Taurus: As a child, your environment was consumed by material possessions. Your parents probably put a great emphasis on money or value, whether it was in excess or there was a lack of it. And think about it, what does nurturing mean to you, and were you truly nurtured in your childhood? With Ceres in Taurus your parents nurtured you with possessions, this could be manifested through an unhappy child being given toys/whatever they want to "emotionally heal" them or to apologize. It could've been your parents constantly preaching that you should be grateful and do not have a reason to be upset because they work hard to buy food,clothes, housing, etc. The method that you parents chose is up to your life, but one constantly repeated theme would be physical nurturing to replace emotional nurturing. It was the use of possessions to say /I care about you/ that dominated your childhood, and like any child, you learned from your parents. You have learned to nurture yourself with materials, and things that please the body but not always the soul. Skin care products like creams, luxurious soaps, or anything that would help to nourish the outside of your body probably comfort you. Rich, comfort foods are a common indulgence, and the best way to enjoy food for you may be snuggled beneath a blanket or comfortably in a bed. You work hard to surround yourself with possessions because possessions were your childhood, they are what shaped you and what made you. As the only form of nurturing you may know you also work tirelessly to be able to put a lot of love into choosing a gift for others. And a gift from you is really just an expression of genuine love and appreciation, as your parents thought that gift giving was to you. (It wasn't).

Ceres in Gemini: Your childhood was erratic, inconsistent, maybe even chaotic. It was defined by spontaneous trips to various places, whether it was to a store, to someone else's house, or just a random trip to get out of town. However, through all of this, one or more of your parents may have been slightly detached. They may have said "I love you, I love you, I love you," but never actually showed it. They may have tried to nurture you through words but failed to realize that you needed more. And so you filled the spaces that they left vacant with what you knew, words. You may have started talking or writing at a young age. You may have relied heavily on interaction with your siblings or with the people that lived around you. You probably got lost in one too many books. Or, you got lost in the process of writing one. You find comfort in some form of communication because to you communication is the steadiest reminder of home. You may have been unable to express your thoughts completely to your parents or to others so you get words out in whatever way that you can, and it didn't have to be through talking. And now, nurtured by words, you have grown to take care of the mind. In education lies security and comfort, learning new things allows you to internally expand. You thrive off of people asking how you've been, off of text messages, phone calls, writing, journaling, basically any way that you can express yourself through words. And as it is only human nature to care for others as we haves cared for ourselves, you like to do similar things for others. If someone is upset you attempt to talk it out, to give them verbal or written advice on their current situation and how to approach it, or maybe you distract them from the situation as a whole and decide to educate them. You have learned to nurture with the mind and rationalization, for you deeply emotional things may be difficult to grasp or to handle.

Ceres in Cancer: Above all, Ceres in cancer revolves around affection. Either your parental figures lacked true affection, comfort, or love, or they were overbearing and extremely clingy. You associate home with security, whether your childhood was secure and comfortable or generally unsafe and always changing. A Ceres in cancer childhood is as deep as as fluid as the ocean, and one aspect can drastically influence the expression of this placement. However, no matter what placement you have, you will always find comfort in a home. When you are upset or uneasy you nurture yourself by staying in a reliable home, by protecting yourself from the outside world and from its negative influences. You may enjoy cooking meals that remind you of your childhood, or decorating your home to truly reflect your personality and who you believe that you are. And, as probably expected, crying to release any emotional stress or deep rooted pain will always be healing. No matter how your childhood was, you always claim your childhood as a part of who you are. You may have a strong attachment to the place(s) that you lived when you were younger, and you will always be one to defend what or where you consider to be a home. You nurture others the in the same ways, you care for them through their emotions, and if someone is down you may have a strong urge to invite them to your home to comfort them. A home cooked meal is always a remedy for the sadness of others in your heart, and it may not be uncommon for you to cook a meal for a loved one in times of distress. For you, a home is love and love is a home.

Ceres in Leo: There was a deep lack of real attention in the childhood. You may have felt like the shadow to your parents' spotlight, with a parent/parents that were boisterous, attention seeking, and controlling. As a child your self expression was a like a plant without water or sunlight, with your parents blocking out everything that could nurture it. And so what you could not find in your parent(s) you found in others. Whether it was brief moments of captivating others, when you feel like you are finally being acknowledged, or simply engaging with others. Compliments will provide warmth to a self image that was given little regard, and through other people taking notice of you you will grow. You do not want to fit in you only want to be heard, to leave the shadow that you stayed in for far too long and to expand who you are. You take care of others in making sure that they are never ignored, making them the temporary spotlight of your life and truly listening to what needs to be heard. You give constant praise and showers of compliments to whoever you think needs them, and you will always prefer lifting someone up instead of putting a person down. Playfulness, lightness, and humor may be evident in what you choose to do to lift someone's spirits. Bear hugs and warm embraces may also be a way for you to show someone that you care. In your heart, being who you are is the best form of self love.

Ceres in Virgo: Early on in life, you may have been plagued by responsibility after responsibility, service after service. You were never a child only a poorly disguised adult, someone who had to learn to tenderly care for and be responsible for a home. Maybe your parent(s) were eager to find mistakes in all of your work so you pushed yourself harder, or maybe your parent(s) were unable/did not take care of your home so you stepped in. The first title that you claimed in your childhood was the laborer. The hard worker. Someone who provides a service to others. Someone deprived of the lightheartedness of a childhood. And this carried on into the rest of your life, you have learned how to take care of yourself and others by doing work. You comfort yourself with structured, efficient routines that you prefer to use as often as you can. You are comforted by keeping a clean and nourishing diet, one that you believe assists your body with nutritional benefits the most. You take tender care of your health, always attempting to heal what is wrong. And something that tends to lift your mood is self improvement, self help books, self help advice, anything that you believe will raise the standards you have put on yourself and on your life. You care for people by doing things for them, whether it's helping them develop a structured daily routine, helping them do a certain task, or helping them organize something. The deepest way that you show your love and your nurturing, even though it may not seem like it to others, is through constructive criticism. As a child you always felt like you had to better yourself, so you reflect yourself onto others, you want others to get the feeling you that you acquire when you feel like you have improved yourself or something else. Your advice is never meant to be cruel or harsh, it is only to nurture and to assist others in their personal growth.

Ceres in Libra: Your childhood may have constantly fluctuated and was never constant, with acute highs and lows that came to define it. Your parents may have separated, were never together at all, or have had excessive arguments and conflicts. Your parent(s) may have blamed you for things that you had no control over, and may have treated you with general unfairness. Your appearance could've also been something that your parent(s) focused on, emphasizing how valuable that they believe the appearance to be and treating you more like a doll than a child. And with the hardships of your childhood you strive to attain a balanced and steady life. You want to be able to explain yourself instead of being pinned down, you want to express your opinions and to have them valued. You have taken your appearance back from others and only take care of your appearance for yourself and for no one else. Instead of only relying on the physical form for appearance you find beauty in things like art and music, beauty that you can create but beauty that you do not have to hold. A pleasant life with well expressed opinions and aesthetically pleasing undertones is what you may desire, and as you desire this for yourself you want to ensure the same for others. To care for a person you will listen and you will reassure them. You value their opinions and their viewpoints and validate them, making them feel as if someone finally understands where they're coming from. You will create peace for them in the midst of adversity, and you yourself are a steady and balanced home. Use this gift to balance others.

Ceres in Scorpio: A home was always a place of intensity and of secrets. Your parent(s) may have been through something emotionally devastating when you were too young to remember, and you had to learn how to care for them even though you may not have fully understood was wrong. Maybe your parent(s) took up too much space emotionally, and your emotions were suppressed and made minimal to make room for theirs. How you felt as a child may have been constantly overshadowed by the constant emotional extreme(s) of your parents or the rejection of them all together. As a result of your childhood your heart harbors secrets, and the more personal secrets that you have the more comfortable you may feel. To take of yourself you feel as if you have to isolate yourself, to finally give your heart enough room to take full hold of deeply buried emotions and memories. Comfort is being free of the emotional influences of others, and to let yourself feel in solitude. Comfort is keeping in experiences and feelings that have hurt you so that no one can hurt you in the same way again. Comfort manifests in deep spiritual and physical experiences, interactions that you feel in your soul. Your ability to heal others is a gift unlike any other, an experienced shoulder to cry in in the face of trauma and heartbreak, you know what it means to lose yourself in a moment or an emotion. You care for another until you believe that they are strong enough to stand on their own, passionately working with a person to heal something that has emotionally scarred them in the way that you may have/tried to heal your parent(s). Be careful to not take on other's pain.

Ceres in Sagittarius: Sometimes your parent(s) when missing. Sometimes your parent(s) were gone. Physically or emotionally, your parents were not always there, either with you or for you. Freedom for you was either in excess or was restricted, freedom for you came to define both you and your home. You may have traveled frequently in your childhood, particularly on long trips or on out of country vacations. You learned to escape difficult issues and emotions as a child, you learned that the best thing to do in the face of adversity was to leave. To nurture yourself you make your life free of rigid restrictions, free of being confined to space, free of as many things as you can. So when life gets difficult and your heart becomes tender, you leave. Get away. Disappear. Distance yourself. Your childhood has taught you that the only way to heal is to leave, to outrun the things and the people that have hurt you, to be known as someone who's always halfway gone. You nurture yourself with wide, open spaces, with plenty of room to breathe, with fresh experiences and fresh people. And you would proudly say that you didn't go back at all. You probably would not want to attach yourself too strongly to others, to get too invested in caring for those that are no longer strong. So you care from a distance, you may encourage others to get up on their own and to keep going, that independence is vital, and that you cannot truly care for yourself without personal freedom. You may enjoy nurturing people through opening their minds to new ideas and different ways of thinking that open up a multitude of possibilities. Above all you have attributed comfort to expansion.

Ceres in Capricorn: Like Ceres in Virgo, you may have been forced to grow up extremely fast in your childhood, and were never able to comfortably experience being a child. You had to become responsible for yourself and your actions in place of your parent(s). Your parent(s)'s life may have revolved around work and not around you, which maid their disposition stern and with work and structure oriented qualities. They may have believed that providing for you was an acceptable substitute for affection. Your parent(s) probably had high expectations and goals for you, and wanted you to strive towards what they believed that you should achieve in life. As a result of your childhood you favor being independent and find great comfort in being the one in control. You like to do things in certain ways instead of making people do things for you. You love to care for others by teaching others to care for themselves instead of relying on others. You prefer to help people find a structured path in life and to assist them in beginning to achieve their personal goals. Overall, you want to ensure a successful and rewarding life for others in the way that you parents may have wanted for you.

Ceres in Aquarius: Your home life as a child may have been erratic and unpredictable. Your parent(s) may have had a greatly fluctuating personality or irregular moods, which further destabilized your home. On the contrary, your parent(s) could've been aloof and void of most emotions. To deal with these things you've learned how to detach yourself from your life, to observe situations with eyes that are not you own. That emotional bond with your parent(s) may have been missing, and sometimes they have felt more like a friend than family. Your sense of individuality was ignored in your childhood, and you may have felt as if your identity was not valid. Just like you cared for yourself as a child by detaching yourself from your life, you care for yourself by never getting too attached to anyone or anything. You are probably more comforted by large friend groups or communities then small groups, and prefer to have your identity validated by greater numbers of people. Caring for others directly is not your preference, as you feel that you shouldn't get overly attached, so you prefer to nurture from a comfortable distance. You encourage people to always be themselves and to never let others define them, to express their individuality and personal freedom to all of society, just as you like/would like to do.

Ceres in Pisces: As a child, you may have felt as if you did not know your parent(s). That doesn't mean that they were literally not there, it just means that who they were was kept hidden to you. You may not have gotten to know your parent(s) on a spiritual and deeply personal level, and sometimes they may have felt more like someone who was just there than someone who was there for you. You could've been the victim in your childhood, whether it was through physical harm, bullying, general issues that your parent(s) had to "rescue" you from. Seclusion and alone time may have been a large part of you growing up, and more often than not you were probably left with just your imagination to entertain yourself, like having an imaginary friend, making little worlds with your toys, or being entertained by things that you have come up with. As you've gotten older, you probably enjoy things that nurture you on a spiritual level. Meditation, crystals, and other spiritual practices may help you soothe yourself and your troubles. Spending time alone with yourself and with your own emotions would also be a form of comfort for you. Animals and pets would be a great stress reliever, because they can provide the unconditional love that humans may lack. To take care of others, you will prefer to delve deep into another's heart, to fully understand their emotions and their soul before you choose how to comfort them. You overflow with love and affection to others, and your love and affection is the kind that is gentle and persists. Be careful not to absorb other's feelings, and learn to separate yourself from others sometimes so that you can distinguish your emotions from anyone else's.
