CERES RETROGRADE IN SAGITTARIUS
Suffer Little Children.
By Laurie Naughtin www.sublunar.co.za
So many dreadful and unspeakable things are happening to children, more than usual which prompted me to look at what in the astrological sky is causing this.
Ceres is in Sagittarius, Ceres is one of the largest Asteroids in the sky. Asteroids in astrology show us the hidden psychology of life; Ceres is the roundest Asteroid and resembles the Moon. Her placement shows where we need to feel love and nurtured in our birth charts.
Her mythical story in simple terms is about Demeter’s daughter Persephone being kidnapped and taken to the underworld by Pluto. Demeter the Goddess of Earth went into mourning creating the winter season and death of the planet.
Hermes was sent to the underworld to negotiate her freedom, Pluto agreed to letting her go back to her mother for 3 seasons, spring, summer and autumn, in winter she returned to him.
In Astrology if Ceres is in poor state we notice a lack of nurturing in the birth chart. On the 7th of April Ceres stationed and then Ceres retrograde started on the 10th.
Ceres in the fiery Sign of Sagittarius is generally not happy as it resembles the chaos and heat that can destroy the gentle nurturing element of Ceres.
Ceres is even more debilitated as she moves into a retrograde motion. Nurturing becomes chaotic, and against nature in some cases. Abuse sets in as adults react excessively and actually cannot hold back. Boundaries are not respected by predators who take our children to a bad and dark place.
In some cases our children are getting hurt, ill and lost more than ever before, in others they are behaving very badly.
During this Ceres retrograde we can address the way we treat and nurture our children, learn how we can protect them from the outside dangers and bring in a new set of rules that help to manage unruliness in some children.
Many lessons regarding our children, their safety and new laws to protect children will become a focus during this retrograde period.
Remember excess in any area of a child’s life is not healthy, time to come to a compromise with how you nurture others and even more important it is a time to repair your inner child and avoid excessive self abuse.
