Ceres is a dwarf planet in astrology, and ruler of nourishment, support, and resources. The transit, or moving, planets can make aspects to your natal Ceres and impact your ability to feel nourished, get and give support, and have the resources you need and use them well. Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde are no exception! They can make aspects to your natal Ceres, just like to any of your other natal planets, How do they impact your natal Ceres? What is a retrograde?
A planet or body is called retrograde in astrology when it appears to be moving backward through the Zodiac. This is just our perception, and it's not actually moving backward, but looks that way.
Planets and bodies operate differently when they're retrograde compared to when they're not. Sometimes this is very subtle, but in the case of Mercury, Venus, and Mars it's not subtle at all. This is because they are the personal planets, and we feel them in a deeply personal way. Mercury rules our communications, so Mercury retrograde likes to throw that off, and we have difficulty with focus, movement, work, expression, and tech. We can be scattered and anxious. Venus rules our relationships, so Venus retrograde likes to bring out existing issues in relationships, and can put them on the edge. It can also bring back old flames, but it may not last once the retrograde is over. We can be indulgent, impatient, and stubborn. Mars rules our energy and drive, so Mars retrograde likes to make it difficult for us to take initiative, be active, and go for what we want. We can be prone to frustrations and arguments, and this can be a time when we lash out. We can be impatient, impulsive, and insecure. Mercury Retrograde to Natal Ceres:
