Goddess Asteroids/ Ceres

[Litha]

Ceres, the largest asteroid, is the Great Mother asteroid, and embodies the motherly qualities of nurturing, caring, and fertility. Mythological Ceres was grief stricken by the abduction of her daughter Persephone by Hades, god of the underworld. Ceres teaches the joy of unconditional love and the pain and grief of dependency. Ceres can end heavy dependencies in order to create more sharing and varied interactions. Letting go of stranglehold grips on people and possessions can ironically bring greater gains. Astrological Ceres represents how we love and how we need to be loved.
