    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    I see Ceres as ruling Taurus so conjunct with Venus I imagine you are skilled at not only quick (Aries) solidifying a reputation for harmonizing with others on an intimate and personal level (10th venus) but also in terms of the particulars of the culture and memes of others too, signalling and...

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    I find this argument compelling, and really my main argument against it is that the modern planetary archetypes take on associations that were formally connected to the traditional planets but may not be their best match, how venus was connected to innana and Ereshkigal to mars of the old...

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    It’s a blend how Pluto could be said to be blended Mars’s power and aggression, Uranus’s deviance, Solar essence; it’s comparable but not the same. Ceres isn’t emotional or needy like the moon, heavy and depressed like Saturn, or authentically connecting with others like Venus I’m trying to...

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    the difference i see between ceres and saturn is the difference of convention and tradition. convention and taste are fickle, relatively superficial; idolizing full-bodied women and rugged men at one time, androgynous women and hairless men at others. the tradition of saturn speaks of boundaries...

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    Haha I can try to do it better but I am still trying to grasp it. My ideas are borrowed from non-astrological and non-mythological fields so I am trying to not pull more than I should from these sources. Which is why applying my ideas is key good point! i haven't met another with ceres in...

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    Hmm I'd guess you naturally come off to others as an exemplar of the groups and interests you identify with. You tend to be seen as an influencer in the way you set the tone for the circles you run in. Maybe?

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    What signs/houses are they in? With such a tight conjunction with the Sun I'd figure you would be particularly skilled at cultivating a demeanor highly aligned to your solar goals and sense of self. You would be gifted at ingratiating yourself with others of groups you identify with and being...

    Seeking participants in delineating a new take on Ceres

    For the past few years I've been thinking on a new interpretation for Ceres that's more divorced from the Descent myth than prevailing, post-Demetra George interpretations Given it's the proto-planetary core of the asteroid belt and is about a third of the belt, I see it as far more relevant...

    Virgo in myth and meaning

    Thanks for the bounty of information waybread! I've heard of Astraea's associate by proxy, that Virgo represents a goddess that left humanity when disgusted by their ways, reflecting the idea of desiring purity associated with Virgo The idea of Virgo as 'barren' is also pretty interesting, as...

    which asteroids and minor planets matter?

    is it about the size of them, making chiron count less? or the significance of the discovery, making eris count more? do all asteroids and minor planets matter the same, or do some reach a level of importance rivaling the classical planets? given this is such a pressing issue in astrology with...

    what is the benefit of modern astrology?

    Contemporary astronomical models suggest nothing could have formed due to Jupiter's gravity, that it never developed to a point to be shattered That said Ceres is likely the protoplanetary core, making up 1/3 of the total mass But even then the total mass is less than Mercury, so we were never...

    Eris and Ceres in a natal chart

    I think it's too early to say what either of them mean in a chart Ceres's meaning has mostly been influenced by the work of Demetra George that sees it as a sign of nurturing characteristics, but it sounds pretty Lunian and not like it's own thing writings like Kieron LeGrice have already...

    what is the benefit of modern astrology?

    are you referring to this mandala? it's interesting to add the modern planets, and see the contrast between the order of the signs, and the order of the planets from the sun it's no longer the elegant model it was in the ancient time, that's for sure. and if there's yet-to-be-confirmed...

    what is the benefit of modern astrology?

    As far as I understand, the newly discovered planets are associated with concepts we are only beginning to better grasp, that they were thoroughly outside of what all people, nevermind astrologers, would have been able to use in prediction Uranus, discovered between the American and French...

    Virgo in myth and meaning

    I am familiar with Virgo characterized as perfectionist, concerned with work, health, and purity in the service of others And that it doesn't have much to do with popular ideas of virginity and chastity But I've also read twice (in a transcript with Liz Greene in the New Insights...

    I'm a Libra and I don't care about social conventions.

    I find Venus far more libran than tauran, and likely the true ruler of libra. outside of Grice's book on Eris, i don't know many who argue Eris is libran It's also good to note that your sun sign isn't all of you; there's no consensus that the sun or it's sign is most important; you could live...

    reintroducing myself

    hello! in the past three years i've slowly, reluctantly been assimilating astrology knowledge as i find a lot of it taps into something deeply profound for humanity and the meaning of life and stuff, but i'm still figuring it out in the past few years i shared some ideas i had but i think i've...

    Asteroid - Orcus - Can someone who knows about this shed some light?

    like with most asteroids/dwarf planets, it's far too early to shed any real 'light' on orcus yet, but given its parallels to pluto i'd speculate it shares some of its energies in some form. asteroids and dwarf planets may represent a completely different way of practicing astrology. maybe...

    Asteroids?

    i would take a HEAP of salt before trusting any interpretation and understanding of asteroids. most astrologers using them are just going off of their names and superficial reads of the myths connected to them, when all other canonized modern planets requires DECADES of study before conclusions...

    I'm a Libra and I don't care about social conventions.

    i feel like libra (and venus by extension) are less about holding up social conventions as they happen to be (which seems more saturnian to me) but is more like what you're saying -- desiring to see the values of harmony and mutual respect to be the convention when it comes to the day to day...
