Ceres, a dwarf planet ruling nourishment, support, and resources, is about to turn retrograde on May 15th, to stay until August 26th 2024. A planet or body is called retrograde in astrology when it appears to move backward through the Zodiac, and this tends to throw the energy of the body off. With Ceres, this can mean we struggle with insecurity, lack what we need, and feel we can't get help. This retrograde occurs entirely in Capricorn, and this sign rules goals, direction, responsibilities, as well as governments and corporations, so we can have issues with all of these things and can feel restricted, limited, and overwhelmed. It's important we get to the root of the problem, as what we're feeling is likely symptoms and not a cause. Are we taking on too much, or too little? Are we being ethical and responsible? Are we demanding too much perfection? Are we sticking to plans? Are we making plans at all? Are we doing homework first? Are we rushing, or going too slow? Just some questions to ask ourselves! If we can address the problems, we can work through them, and hopefully navigate through the retrograde without too much trouble. Ceres Retrograde in Capricorn for the Zodiac Signs:
This is taken from the Retrogrades of 2024 class, and taps into how this Ceres retrograde impacts each sign (read your Rising sign if you know it):
Ceres Retrograde for Aries: There can be blocks on your path, and you may feel insecure because of this, but you likely need to slow down a little so you can assess your plans and make sure they’re realistic. You can give yourself support as you take small steps toward what you want to achieve, and this can help you feel more secure. Ceres Retrograde for Taurus: Getting the space you need to have the experiences you want might be challenging during this retrograde, and you likely need to work within the limitations you have. If you can do that, you can free yourself up, and having small adventures can nourish you and make you feel more secure. Ceres Retrograde for Gemini: Deeply-held issues that have gotten in the way of making you feel supported and secure can become more obvious,and you can take time to dig into it and get to the heart. The more you understand, the more likely you are to figure out how you can transform. Empower yourself, and give yourself the support you need. Ceres Retrograde for Cancer: Your relationships may need more support, and you can focus on trying to improve the ones that have been depleted lately. You can give more support to those you care about, but they might demand more than you can give, so try to be mindful of boundaries. Try to restore balance in your life, and this can nourish you. Ceres Retrograde for Leo: Not getting the support you need and nurturing yourself can make you feel stressed out and anxious. Try to focus on small ways to get the nourishment you need, and bring this to your daily life so you always feel supported. Structure and order might help you feel more secure, and make time for breaks so you have adequate rest. Ceres Retrograde for Virgo: Being creative can help you feel more nourished, but you may not have as much time as you’d like to be creative. Try to bring creativity into everything you do, no matter how mundane. Connect with your heart, and this can help you nurture yourself. Taking care of your heart can be the key to having what you need. Ceres Retrograde for Libra: You may lack resources you need at home or with family, and you may not feel as connected to your support system, which can make you more emotional. Try to improve matters at home, and give support to those you think of as family. Strengthen your support system in different ways, and this can open up more for you. Ceres Retrograde for Scorpio: Getting support for your ideas and plans can be difficult to find, and you may struggle with feeling confident in what you come up with as a result. You may need to make more time to nourish your mind in different ways, and to come up with unconventional ideas to use resources you have to give yourself the support you need. Ceres Retrograde for Sagittarius: You may feel disconnected with your resources, your body, and the physical world, and need to get to the root cause. Don’t become stubborn about it and work on a solution. Surrounding yourself with abundance might help, and you can make the most of what you have to improve stability and security. Ceres Retrograde for Capricorn: This retrograde is in your sign, and you may lack the support you want, the resources you need, and feel nourishment is hard to find. Try to find different ways to nourish yourself, or ways you have used successfully in the past. You may want to focus on a second chance, and can get support for that. You can pick back up an old resource as well, and find different ways to use the ones you still have. Ceres Retrograde for Aquarius: Getting time alone can be important to nourish yourself during this retrograde. Other people and situations might drain you, and getting time alone can allow you to reflect and recharge. You might be easily taken advantage of by others as well, especially emotionally or financially, so try to work on healthy boundaries. Get introspective and consider old issues that might be impacting nourishment and support now. Ceres Retrograde for Pisces: Work on nurturing your independent side, your quirky self, and your unconventional approaches. You may feel unsupported when it comes to being true to yourself and what makes you different, and you may need to take a step back and find support in ways that you have before, or experiment with finding a new support system. Your dreams for the future may also need to be nurtured, and you may need to make changes for them.
