Ceres will finally bow out of Capricorn and move into future-focused Aquarius in early December, and it's going to come with a bang! Let's cover what you can expect (hint, expect the unexpected!).
What is Ceres in astrology?
Ceres is technically a dwarf planet (like Pluto) but in astrology, we call it an asteroid (as it was before the dwarf planet designation). Ceres is super nurturing, supportive, caring, and there for you. It's like a supercharged Moon, maybe mixed with a little Venus.
You can find Ceres in your own chart on astro.com (in Extended Chart Selection, click on Additional Objects, and select Ceres from the menu). Ceres in Aquarius 2024-2025 Dates:
General Impact of Ceres in Aquarius:
Ceres spent a while in traditional Capricorn thanks to a retrograde period May - August 2024. This has bogged us down, and kept us stuck in the old ways, and brought out remaining Capricorn issues as Pluto is nearing the end of its time in Capricorn (and we had two Capricorn Full Moons midyear adding to this). It's been intense and serious and has weighed on us - but Ceres moving to Aquarius changes everything, and fast!
Aquarius is the sudden and unexpected, the future and change, the unconventional and eccentric, independence and individuality - all that is very different from Capricorn, and we're ready to hit the ground running. On the same day Ceres enters Aquarius, so does Venus, as well as an asteroid, Abundantia, the asteroid of abundance. This comes just after Pluto has finally moved into Aquarius for good on November 19th, and Ceres, Venus, and Abundantia all conjunct Pluto very quickly. Wowza! This is huge because of what Aquarius rules - change, the unconventional, and the future. We've been stuck in traditional Capricorn for a while, and we're ready for something else. It's time for the future! We can embrace the change, and we can go forth boldly. Thanks to Pluto in the mix, this change might come super fast, but it's one that can last for many years to come. Pluto is in Aquarius until 2044, so we've got a while with this. We're not just making a change for the sake of change - we're ushering in a whole new future. This is massive, and we can be ready for it. We can see that this is change that needs to happen, and we want it to. We can turn the page, start a new chapter, embark on a whole new journey for our lives. It's really something! With Ceres, this impacts our resources, so we may get access to all new resources, or make big changes regarding the resources we already have. Ceres rules money, so we might experience big changes with our finances in some way; with Venus and Abundantia involved, this is likely a positive change. Ceres rules nourishment and support, so we might be making changes in what we need to feel nourished and supported, and in how we nurture others and provide support. Aquarius also rules our friends and groups, so we may give more support to our friends and to groups we belong to, and also feel more supported by our friends and groups. We can pour more resources and support in causes we champion, and we can be greater humanitarians. Now, on the downside, Ceres in Aquarius does ride with Mars retrograde, which begins the day before Ceres enters Aquarius, and lasts until the day Ceres exits Aquarius. So, we do have to keep this under control, and not let the Mars retrograde cause us to lash out. We have to make sure we've got healthy outlets for frustrations and aggravation with Mars retrograde, and not give in to impulse. We may focus on taking more second chances, revising, and understanding the past. This helps us move toward the future without all of the baggage, and without making the same mistakes twice. If we can just manage the Mars retrograde, this is an amazing period and it starts right away - don't miss it! Ceres in Aquarius 2024-2025 Aspects:
Ceres in Aquarius is only making 6 aspects. They are:
- Conjunct Pluto on December 8th 2024 @ 0 degrees Aquarius: This is part of the big energy right away as Ceres, Venus, and Abundantia all change signs and conjunct Pluto. Pushing us into the future and into the next phase! With Pluto, this can be an empowering transformation. - Opposite Mars Retrograde in Leo on December 20th 2024 @ 4 degrees: This can be difficult with Mars retrograde, and we may lash out about something we're insecure about. We need to make sure we're grounded, but also not stuck. Be resourceful and give yourself support. - Square Uranus in Taurus on January 6th 2025 @ 23 degrees: We may be extra restless with this aspect, and there can be something unexpected that we're dealing with. We need to try to avoid being impulsive, and focus on small changes. - Trine Jupiter in Gemini on January 9th 2025 @ 12 degrees: This is a helpful aspect, and we can get access to new resources, find new ways to get and give support, and generally feel more optimistic. - Conjunct Mercury on February 11th 2025 @ 25 degrees Aquarius: Mental energy surges, and we can come up with ideas for new resources, ground our minds, and voice support for someone or something. We can be active and engaged. - Conjunct the Sun on February 14th 2025 @ 26 degrees Aquarius: This shines a light on our resources, finances, support, and nourishment, and we can get and give more support, and work to improve access to resources or the way we use resources. Final Note:
Ceres spent a very long time in Capricorn, and this tour in Aquarius goes much faster - not to mention starts off with a bang! So we're definitely focusing on the future now, and ready for the change to come.
