Ceres - Astrology and Planets in the Zodiac

The Minor Planet Ceres

Ceres, named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and nurturing, plays a quiet yet powerful role in astrology. Though technically a dwarf planet, Ceres is often treated like an asteroid in the astrological chart, and yet, her influence runs deep. Ceres represents how we care for others, how we nurture ourselves, and how we respond to both giving and receiving support. In mythology, Ceres was a devoted mother who grieved deeply when her daughter Persephone was taken away. As such, themes of attachment, loss, and return are tied closely to her symbolism. In the birth chart, Ceres shows us where we offer comfort and how we handle separation, especially in personal relationships.

When Ceres is strong in your chart, or when she’s moving through a key area of your life, you may feel a stronger pull to protect, nourish, or help others grow. This could show up as a desire to feed people, care for plants or animals, or support a friend in need. It may also bring awareness to where you’ve neglected your own needs and the importance of reconnecting with what sustains you. Ceres is deeply tied to cycles of nature, and when we ignore her lessons, we risk burnout. In signs like Cancer or Taurus, Ceres brings warmth and comfort. In more fiery or air-driven signs, her nurturing might take a more practical or intellectual form. Either way, she reminds us that real care takes time, presence, and attention—and that, like the seasons, it comes in waves. When Ceres shows up in your transits, it's a call to reconnect with what makes you feel grounded and whole.
