Shortly before 8:00 am EDT this morning, Ceres entered Aries where it will occupy the first degree of the zodiac for the next month. You read that correctly. The object designated by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) as Number One — technically, (1) Ceres, because it’s the first minor planet ever discovered — will sit on the Aries Point until Aug. 10, after which it will return to Pisces until next year. That is amazing all by itself. Concurrent circumstances surrounding the ingress are equally astonishing. But none of that beats the evident message we will now proceed to derive: For each and all of us, sharing the one thing we love most with the rest of the world is the one thing we most need to do right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ceres is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was the first object discovered in that dispersed donut, hence its singular MPC distinction. The discovery date was January 1, 1801. That’s the first day, of the first month, of the first year of a new century. But it gets better.<\/p>\n

Ceres is also the largest object in the asteroid belt. It is the only one large enough to recently be classified as a dwarf planet. It is the only dwarf planet inside the orbit of Saturn. It is almost as if the entire history of our awareness of Ceres through astronomy is leading to this one day. Then there is the myth, and beyond that, the timing.<\/p>\n

Ceres was among the divine dozen gods and goddesses that founded the Greco-Roman Pantheon. She was the first to become estranged from it. Associated with traditions and ceremonies well developed long before that legendary alliance, she might even be the oldest deity of western civilization. The core of her defining myth is thus at the core of humanity. That would be how she responded to her greatest pain.<\/p>\n

When her daughter, Persephone, was abducted, Ceres stood up to the power by standing firmly in her own. Yet it was ultimately her compassion alone that provided a solution. Negotiating to share what she cherished above all yielded more than our seasonal cycles and their derivative — tropical astrology. It also saved our butts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, as Number One begins a brief visit to Aries, all the characters of its associated myth are becoming one with the astrology. It begins with the Moon. Two seconds (the amount of time it takes for you to say “Mississippi” twice) before the Moon moved into Sagittarius this morning, it formed a water trine from the last arc second of the last arc minute of the last degree of Scorpio to Ceres occupying the same place in Pisces. What a sendoff. Symbolically, this conferred the ultimate and farthest reaching expression of all that is water. The essential, emotional, intuitive, healing and nourishing qualities of the universal solvent were all bestowed like a bottle of champagne on the bow of a ship. Less than four minutes later Ceres crossed the Aries point.<\/p>\n

Immediately upon entering Aries, Ceres found itself in a cardinal square with an object in the first degree of Cancer. Not just any object, mind you, a Uranian point called Hades (Uranian points are hypothetical planets beyond Pluto, used by many astrologers). Depending on what definition you favor, Hades is either the name of the place her daughter was abducted to or the alter ego of the kidnapper. That would be Pluto, which is in a wider (but still there) square from cardinal Capricorn. In astrology, a square to the Aries Point represents a very personal and internal tension that all of us are experiencing in our own way all at the same time. Everybody together, all at once, is by definition a public event of one with all, all with one. Got chills? There’s more.<\/p>\n

In the third degree of Cancer, literally and symbolically just beneath the surface of Hades, is an asteroid, Persephone. Say wow now. At 11+ chatty Gemini, forming an air trine with responsible Saturn in fair-play Libra is another, Hekate. That’s the goddess who told Ceres what happened. Finally, Apollo, eyewitness to the abduction, is in aspect to its alias, the Sun. All of this is exact to the degree today and it is no accident.<\/p>\n

The objects in astrology, their angular relationships and placements are archetypes that mean something in your life. Access to that meaning depends on how you choose to be. If you choose to be aware that you are a part of the same cosmos as those archetypes and accept that, they will be available to you. If you choose to feel separate, they will not. That choice has a consequence. Ceres’ ingress to Aries today is a chance to know what that is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This morning that first dwarf planet, unseen by science for so long, was topped off and primed by the Moon, an object that all of us can look at, feel and understand. The ingress to Aries shortly thereafter activated the mythology and simultaneously connected all of us through it. Today and for the next month we are all Ceres, each in our own way, all of us together, now.<\/p>\n

Something we love and were close to was taken from us. We have the power to get it back, but there are conditions. We must proceed from an awareness that the wound we suffer is not ours separately. We share the injury with the other that inflicted it. We must negotiate and compromise with that entity even if they do not know that.\u00a0We must share what we love so that healing can be shared as well. If we are not one with each other in love and healing, we will be one alone in the dark with pain.<\/p>\n

Ceres takes about four and a half years to go around the Sun. That means it usually moves through signs at a rate of about one degree every four days. For this archetype to slow down, turn around and spend a month in the one degree that symbolizes where we come together is a message. We are now being empowered to save our own butts. Look inside yourself, then look at another; you will know what to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
