Ceres in Astrology

Ceres is a dwarf planet in astrology (like Pluto), and is the planet of nourishment. It rules what we need for nourishment and support, how we provide this for others, and our resources and how we use them. Ceres connects to money, and is argued to be the ruler of Taurus.

In transit, Ceres brings this energy to whatever it's touching in your natal chart. When it's aspecting a natal planet, it can bring this energy in a beneficial or challenging way.

We're going to focus on the major aspects (conjunction, sextile/trine, and square/opposition). Transit Ceres aspects usually last 1-2 weeks.
