The Mother goddess, Ceres, was an ancient agricultural deity of Ancient Rome. It is a Roman equivalent of the Greek Demeter and the beliefs and myths of the two are shared and the same.

The myth about Demeter and Persephone (or of Ceres and Proserpine, in Roman version) explains the meaning of the astrological planetoid Ceres in natal charts and individual horoscopes.

First, Ceres is the only agricultural deity amongst the twelve major Roman deities, Dii Consentens.

This illustrates how important Ceres was to people. Demeter, the Greek equivalent, is the major goddess of Eleusinian mysteries, the cult dedicated to seasonal changes and vegetation.

Along with her daughter Persephone, Demeter was worshipped through this ‘secret’ cult, probably the most famed one.

Ceres represents vegetation, nature, fertility and abundance. Her daughter and Ceres were the ones to give people grain crops, so that their lands become fertile and rich in food.

This happened after the dreadful experience for the mother Ceres, which is the most popular myth related to this deity. Ceres represents the principle of mother; this motif is particularly strong in the myth.

The legend tells about the loss of the daughter, in the first place. Pluto, Hades in Greek mythology, was in love with Proserpine, the daughter of Ceres, but she did not love him back.

As it goes in classical mythology, he simply decided to abduct her and take her against her will.

Desperate mother Ceres searched the heaven and the earth in order to take back her much loved daughter.

Ceres’ rage was so great that all land gone dry and barren; the lands suffered her grief, as she was the goddess of vegetation, fertility and abundance.

Finally, the compromising solution was made between Ceres and Pluto. Proserpine would spend a part of the year with her husband and another part with her mother. These stages of Proserpine’s life are cyclic and they resemble seasonal changes.

Ceres in astrology

In astrology, Ceres carries meanings of the goddess Ceres. Astrological planets and heavenly bodies all embody archetypical meanings of ancient deities they were named after.

Ceres is an asteroid, the largest one in the asteroid belt and the smallest planetoid. More than two centuries ago an Italian astronomer discovered Ceres.

Later on, it was  enlisted amongst astrological asteroids.

In astrology, Ceres plays an important role. In analyzing birth charts, astrologers carefully examine the position of Ceres. It is because this planetoid represents the principle of care and nurture, the motherly type of love and possessiveness.

In a natal chart, it represents our sense of self-importance, related to our attitude towards parental figures.

Dominant Ceres in a natal chart would make a woman particularly caring and protective mother; she could become very possessive of her children. It could be applied on any individual horoscope, meaning that the strong Ceres would make one particularly caring, nurturing and possessive figure.

Ceres represents the way we care about people and the way they care about us. At least, what we deeply wish them to do.

It is about or self-care, the sources we receive nurture from and those we expect to offer us comfort and care, as well as about our own perception of the very concept of caring.

There are people who show their affection through kind words and through touch, there are others who show it through gifts, education, honest advices.

There are people who feel nurtured if you please them with material things and there are those who only want a gentle kiss.

Each one of us has its own idea about how caring for someone should look like. It depends on the position of Ceres in your natal chart.
