Ceres in astrology. Ceres in the houses of the natal chart

Ceres is the only dwarf planet that is located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, discovered by the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi in the Sicilian city of Palermo (1801). At first, Giuseppe mistook the object he saw for a comet. But after defining German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss studied the orbital parameters of a cosmic body, and it became clear that this object was most likely a planet. A year later, according to Gauss's ephemeris, Ceres is found by the German astronomer G. Olbers. The body, named Ceres by Piazzi, in honor of the ancient Roman goddess of fertility, was located at the distance from the Sun at which, according to the Titius-Bode rule, a large planet should have been located solar system, which astronomers have been searching for since the end of the 18th century. This is how Ceres was discovered. The planet Ceres is believed to have a rocky core, an icy mantle and a thin layer of regolith on the surface. Moreover, the mantle consists of water ice, which accounts for up to 20-30% of the mass of Ceres. Ceres is almost spherical in shape and has a diameter of approximately 950 km, which is almost a third of the lunar diameter. There are some indications that Ceres's surface is relatively warm and it may have little atmosphere. You can see Ceres through a telescope - its brightness can reach approximately 7th magnitude, but alas, it’s difficult to see the details. After all, Ceres is regarded as a very dim object and is almost invisible to the naked eye. Even the all-seeing Hubble telescope is unable to examine Ceres in detail. Therefore, on September 5, 2012, the Dawn spacecraft, having completed its work on collecting and transmitting data about the asteroid Vesta, left its orbit and headed towards Ceres.

Ceres. Astrological context.

Ceres, like all divine characters of the Greek and Roman pantheon, has a dual nature. She happens to be " main reason joy" in the supply of grain, but it can also cause deprivation, hunger and cold. That is, it can both give something and take away something. Ceres in the horoscope represents the educational qualities of the mother, is associated with the reproductive cycle of a woman, which is tied to Moon. Dark side Ceres manifests itself in depression and loss. Ceres has a very strong connection with the Moon. In other words, Ceres can be considered as the external Moon, as a shield that reflects all external events and sends on the emotional level (Moon) only what is necessary for our development. It's like a duet of two sisters: Ceres is the older sister, the Moon is the younger. Ceres seems to constantly care about our emotions and feelings, but sometimes we don’t listen to her. In the birth horoscope, Ceres indicates those external events that occur in our lives and have an impact on our emotions, our inner world. The position in the house and the horoscope sign indicates certain types and the nature of the events taking place. Of course, aspects of the relationship between the Moon and Ceres (harmonious or tense) will be very important. In medical astrology, for example, the affliction of Ceres may indicate that there are problems with the reproductive organs. This directly affects fertility and can lead to infertility. Karmic aspects of Ceres or Ceres without aspects at all may be an indication of a woman’s tendency to miscarriage. It is also associated with gastrointestinal tract and tense aspects to it can cause digestive problems.

According to the mythological meaning, Ceres in the horoscope is associated with caring, nurturing, fulfilling one's duty to people, and the defeat of Ceres means passivity, failure, unwillingness or inability to care for others or emotionally support them.

Ceres in the horoscope

Ceres is an indicator of secret unrealized hopes, dreams, anxieties, and fears that are transmitted from mother to child. As a mother, she, in addition to Virgo, her ruler, reflects the sign of Cancer. And since the Moon is exalted in Taurus, and Pluto is the enemy of Ceres, it also contains the Taurus-Scorpio polarity: in the horoscope it describes the psychological experience of attachment, separation and loss, death and rebirth, sadness and the principle of separation.

The Great Mother has exclusive control over productivity and birth, and in this sense Pluto's act of kidnapping Ceres' daughter is the catalyst needed to break Ceres' monopoly on her child. Ceres also teaches us to share our mental<детей>- productive ideas, projects and creations, instead of jealously guarding them in the hope that no one else will have them.

What is Ceres responsible for in the horoscope?

Ceres is the goddess of grain. As the ruler of Cancer, she provides nourishment as a means of exchanging love and expressing acceptance. On a planetary level, it brings to humanity the knowledge that food must be distributed among all peoples. The food of the all-nursing mother, as the ruler of Virgo, becomes physical nutrition, which builds and maintains the structure of the body.

In the horoscope, the ability to work, productivity and efficiency of functioning depend on Ceres. Sociologically, Virgo rules the working class and Ceres symbolizes the work of the trade unions. In her extreme anger, Ceres stops the productive forces of the earth - therefore she controls strikes and other expressions of refusal to work, in negative aspects also unemployment.

The cyclical nature of Ceres indicates changing cycles of work and rest. An individual with good Ceres leads a balanced work life and does not have periods when everything is<горит>or falls out of your hands.

In medical astrology, since Cancer rules the stomach and Virgo rules the intestines, Ceres is associated with digestive disorders.

Ceres rules learning and parent-child relationships.

Ceres in Signs describes the 12 parenting styles and what we need from ourselves and those around us to make us feel accepted and loved. Ceres in the houses shows in which areas we are most successful in giving and receiving. She also points to experiences related to self-love, self-denial and criticism. Examples of people with corresponding asteroid positions are given in parentheses.

Demeter George, astrologer

Considered a dwarf planet. In addition to Ceres, this status is given to: Eris, Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. This is not only the first discovered asteroid, but also the largest known, and it is also the only asteroid with a spherical shape (other asteroids have a shape that is very far from spherical). The equatorial diameter of Ceres is 975 km. The period of revolution around the Sun is 4.60 Earth years. The structure of Ceres also distinguishes it from other asteroids; it is more reminiscent of the structure of the terrestrial planets. Inside this small planet is a rocky core surrounded by an icy mantle, which is covered with a thin, dusty crust. Radio telescope studies in 2004 and 2005 showed that large amounts of water were present on Ceres.

In a person’s horoscope, Ceres indicates the scope and methods of his work, his business qualities and ability to work effectively.

And even though the influence of a small planet is not as strong as the influence of large planets, it can also be felt.

The degree of responsibility and caution in all matters will increase.

Asteroid Ceres in the houses of the horoscope.

Ceres in houses:

Ceres in the first house:

People will always mistake you for their mother, even if you are a guy. This is because Ceres is in the 1st house. This effect is reduced if Ceres is still at the end of the house, or in the second sign from the Ascendant. There may be a problem if you are lucky enough to have many planets in the sign of Gemini, like my friend. She prefers to talk than to educate, but emotionally needy people want to strive for her constantly.

Ceres in the second house:

If well aspected, your nutrition and financial situation was always good. And you will tend to care about people in the same way. You will feel more confident when you have a large bank account and a full refrigerator.

Ceres in the third house:

Brothers and sisters, and even neighbors, could be involved in upbringing. And vice versa, it was possible to raise them alone. Your words, as a rule, often refer to problems of education. This may be good for a therapist or counselor.

Ceres in the fourth house:

Everyday life feeds the home. You have a tendency to educate everyone and everyone in your home. It is so simple. You can also work well in real estate.

Ceres in the fifth house:

fueled by fun - sports, games, romance, children, gambling and speculation. There will likely be a need to feel good about having romantic partners. Be careful to curb your gambling urges.

Ceres in the Sixth House:

Work EDUCATES YOU. And you yourself are a good mentor at work. Provides good healthcare workers.

Ceres in the seventh house:

Family business or attracting partners into business. Training them and the opportunity to use the work of people in business.

Ceres in the eighth house:

You need sex, . Well, each of us has a cross. This placement is also good for educating people who are in the process of rehabilitation. Demeter George points out in her excellent book Ceres that the 8th house can also be found in the horoscopes of those who work in a hospice - providing care for those who are dying.

Ceres in the ninth house:

. Travel, solving philosophical questions.

Ceres in the tenth house:

Well, this posting can make you popular (even if you don't want to be). As soon as you speak in public, people will start coming to mentor you. Not in private, fortunately. By at least, you will be safe in private. Even the boss may come to you for this (or you may have a tendency to groom the boss). Conversely, such people attract bosses who would like to patronize them. You may also be attracted to the career of the ruler of Ceres, namely anything related to food or clothing.

Ceres in the eleventh house:

the trends here are to patronize your friends or have friends who want to patronize you. The 11th house also rules your hopes and desires, you may easily have a desire to develop large groups of people, perhaps by joining a humanitarian group of some kind.

Ceres in the twelfth house :

This is the house of hidden things, psychological problems and "restrictions". Everything in this house shows what we don't want to show to the world, or even to ourselves. Ceres in the 12th house can show that educational needs have been suppressed. It can also make it difficult for you to parent others. WITH positive side, this placement can channel these frustrations into charitable activities where you provide education and care to the poor, sick and unfortunate.

Zipporah Dobyns

Asteroids

Ceres or Demeter (her Greek name) was the great mother of the earth. She patronized fertility and agriculture, especially cereals, and domestic animals.

She had an only dearly beloved daughter. The most famous myth about her tells of the abduction of her daughter, Persephone, by Pluto, the lord of the underworld. Ceres neglected everything to search for her lost daughter, crops failed and famine reigned until Zeus (Jupiter) intervened and forced Pluto to release Persephone.

Ceres's nature is portrayed as fundamentally kind and helpful, but her personal affection for her daughter exceeded her commitment to work for humanity, for people in general.

Vesta or Hestia (her Greek name) was the keeper of the sacred fire in the temple and at home altars. She was given virtually no role in the often brutal Greek myths, and few references describe only her devotion to duty and purity. She remained a virgin in her complete devotion to the sacred task, and so were the priestesses who served her. In some times, priestesses who violated their vow of celibacy were burned alive.

Despite her unsociable, almost colorless nature, Vesta played big role in the Greek faith. Any meal began and ended with a sacrifice to it. Safety depended on the preservation of her sacred fire.

Pallas either Pallas Athena or Minerva appeared armed and in full bloom from the head of Zeus (Jupiter). Like Zeus, she threw lightning, but in addition to her warlike nature, she was associated with wisdom and crafts. She was credited with the invention of weaving, the potter's wheel, spinning, embroidery, and was also associated with navigation and agriculture, especially the olive tree. One of the myths describes Pallas taming the winged horse, Pegasus.

Pallas Athena was the special patron of Athens, as her name suggests, defeating Neptune in the rivalry when her gift of the olive tree was recognized more useful people than Neptune's horse. While Minerva's name indicated her wisdom as an advisor to her father, Zeus, her sacred bird was the owl.

She was given the name Pallas because she killed the famous giant of that name. She was also called "Hippia" because she tamed horses. Although she is often involved in battle, Pallas is considered less aggressive and bloodthirsty than Mars.

She usually fought for justice.

Juno or Hera (her Greek name) was the wife of Zeus, who reigned on bright Olympus. She is considered the only truly married goddess on Olympus, having celebrated her marriage to Zeus (Jupiter) in the presence of all the gods. She was the patroness of brides, marriages and female virtue; it was believed that every woman had her Juno, as a form of guardian spirit, just as every man had his own guardian spirit.

People made sacrifices to these guardians on their birthdays.

Juno is also associated with ornaments and feminine finery; her sacred bird was the peacock.

But Juno was also a warlike goddess, and especially vengeful in her jealousy of the goddesses and mere mortals with whom Zeus constantly entered into love affairs.

Among the many myths associated with the two warlike goddesses, Pallas and Juno, there are curious stories about their dispute with Venus and its consequences, the Trojan War. Paris was the judge of this rivalry between Pallas, Juno and Venus, in which the most beautiful of them was determined.

Juno promised Paris power and wealth if the choice fell on her. Pallas offered him military glory and victories if he chose her. Venus promised him as a wife the most beautiful woman in the world, if the prize, the golden apple, goes to her.

Paris chose Venus as the winner, and as a reward he received Helen, the wife of the Spartan king Menelaus, whom he took to Troy. Naturally, Sparta declared war on Troy, and Athens supported the Greeks. Among the gods, Juno and Pallas supported the Greeks, and Mars and Venus supported the Trojans. Jupiter, Apollo (Sun) and Neptune were also involved in battles from time to time, with Neptune siding with the Greeks and Jupiter and Apollo at times supporting different sides in the battle.

Let us summarize the consideration of the natures of these four goddesses. Myths show them as very important. Three of them were sisters of Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto, the main gods, and Pallas Athena was the daughter of Jupiter. Ceres and Vesta are shown focused on their work, hinting at Virgo's rule, and Ceres also introduces a note of motherly care in contrast to Vesta's avoidance of personal commitments. Pallas and Juno are warrior goddesses, both associated with sacred birds (air connection?), both related to justice and relationships. Pallas adds an involvement in knowledge or wisdom, while Juno emphasizes appearance and personal affection, sometimes to the point of possessive jealousy. The areas of concern of Pallas-Juno suggest the possible control of Libra.

All four goddesses had some connection with crafts and art.

Verification by experience

The most we can expect from these myths is to receive hints or clues, some theories to begin with in our search for possible meanings associated with asteroids.

A serious test is always an experience. In astrology, this means finding natal charts in which one or more of these new bodies is in a prominent position, i.e. placed on angles or forming strong aspects to major planets, and noting the character of that individual.

Since character is always an abstraction derived from actions, it may be more effective to begin with by observing periods when asteroids are prominent in current configurations (transits, progressions, direc- tions) to note the events at those times, and then from there tracing the character likely causing or allowing such events.

Astrology has grown in this way, from events to the induction of the principles involved, to the deduction of the application of these principles to future events, to the observation of the next round of events and the refinement of the formulations of the principles.

So far, over four years of working with asteroids, their basic nature as suggested by the myths has proven remarkably close to my experience.

Indeed, it is much closer than the correspondence of the mythical nature of Jupiter to my understanding of Jupiter in horoscopes, in human nature and life.

Ceres and Vesta seem to represent the two sides of Virgo, while Pallas and Juno symbolize the two sides of Libra.

Ceres has proven so reliable as a key to our ability to "mother, protect" or "be protected" that I have begun to regularly use it as a key to an individual's experience with his mother or his propensity to take on a nurturing role. It consistently occupies a prominent position in current configurations where people have children or are involved in nurturing and caring roles or have other caring roles.

Conflict aspects indicate problems in this role: difficulties with childbearing or communicating with children; conflicting feelings (which may be subconscious) towards one's mother or the state of motherhood.

Among recent examples, I can mention a woman whose secondary progressions showed a Moon conjunct her natal Ceres at the time I plotted her chart, and an expected conjunction with progressed Ceres six months later, all in the ninth house. Since she was past the age of motherhood, and one of the many meanings of the ninth house is grandchildren (5th house from the 5th house, therefore children of children), I asked her if she was expecting grandchildren now or in six months. It turned out that her daughter was due in about six months, and her son, the last unmarried child, had just announced plans to marry, thereby giving her another child in the form of a daughter-in-law.

A similar case involves the conjunction of the progressed Ascendant with the natal and progressed Ceres at approximately five-year intervals. In both cases, the woman had a child.

A couple expecting their first child had the following configurations: the husband's progressed Ceres was conjunct her natal Mars in the tenth house in Leo, the wife's progressed Ceres was conjunct her Midheaven. In another case, progressed Ceres was conjunct a woman's MC when she was working on a book with an older woman who played the role of "mother" to her. The relationship ceased after the completion of the book, just about the time when the aspect of Ceres lost its effectiveness (the orb exceeded one degree).

I have often seen progressive dividing aspects to Ceres (opposition or quincunx) in miscarriages or when a person leaves home to become independent from their parents. Ceres in Aries was often found in the charts of women who had only child. Ceres in the “fertile” signs (Taurus or Cancer) in the fifth house was present in two women who had eight children.

Descriptions of the qualities of the sign, house, and aspects of Ceres seem to usually provide clues to a person's childhood experiences with his or her mother, as well as to his or her attitude and ability to be a nurturer. However, this is also the key to finding the right type of job. It serves as a sign of slightly greater strength than the Moon, the other major key to motherhood. Virgo's desire to act effectively is present here, along with nurturing overtones. In many cases, progressive aspects to Ceres coincided with a change of job.

Vesta will also likely be in aspect to other factors when it comes to work.

If an individual loves work and is dedicated to his work, then outstanding success is often possible. Dislike for one's job, on the other hand, can lead to poor health, which makes it possible to get rid of work.

Both Ceres and Vesta can be involved in health issues, but Vesta has been found to be significant in many more cases, in my experience. Virgo's theme of "effective functioning" applies to both work efficiency and body functioning, and loving your work is one way to stay healthy. Individuals with an emphasis on Virgo and/or Capricorn factors (planets, signs or houses) may have health problems in childhood, while they are not yet able to work, and then again towards old age if they are forced to retire.

What's at stake is a sense of competence, accomplishment, productivity, not money, so an all-consuming hobby or volunteer work can provide the necessary sense of getting some tangible results from one's efforts.

Vesta probably symbolizes the true Virgo “work-aholic” (work + alcoholic), a person who works practically for the sake of the work itself, and not for any other rewards. For people with significant Vesta, it is especially important to find a job to which they can devote themselves. Naturally, sign, house and aspect positions must be taken into account to determine the appropriate type of work.

Carl Jung had a close conjunction of Pallas and Vesta with the Sun, Pallas almost exactly on the cusp of the seventh house, if the time of birth is accurate. Juno formed a broad conjunction with Neptune in the sixth house of Jung's chart, and he was always associated with the spiritual dimension of life.

Alfred Adler had Pallas in Aries and Juno conjunct Venus in Pisces. Adler is less famous than his contemporaries, Freud and Jung, but his contributions to psychology were very extensive, including the concepts of the inferiority complex, female rebellion, fraternal rivalry, etc. Like Jung, he was a humanist and recognized the importance of spiritual principles, hopes, and dreams.

Freud, like Jung, had Pallas within two degrees of the seventh house cusp, a sign of a potential lawyer.

Fritz Perle had a Pallas conjunction with Neptune and Pluto in the eleventh house, he created a new type of psychotherapy - Gestalt analysis.

Among politicians, the significant position of both asteroids, Lada and Juno, seems to be common:

Jimmy Carter has Juno rising in exact conjunction with Saturn in the first house, potential to work with his spouse. We see the same message in his wife's chart, the conjunction of Pallas and Vesta. President Carter also has Juno trine Pallas in Pisces in the fifth house, suggesting a harmonious marriage.

Maurice Udale has Juno in Aries in the tenth house, while his Pallas is in exact conjunction with Saturn, linking his status role to the Juno/Pallas attraction to law and politics.

Henry Jackson has Pallas conjunct Neptune in the eleventh house and exact Juno conjunct the Moon in Sagittarius.

Walter Mondale has Pallas just on the cusp of the eleventh house, partly in both houses (Placidus), and Juno in Virgo in the seventh house, trine the stelly mind of Capricorn. His wife was also a true “same team player.”

California Governor Brown, a 39-year-old bachelor, has Juno in Sagittarius and Pallas in Pisces squaring each other. In his youth he was briefly a Jesuit monk, a role sometimes described as "married to the church", and he may still be searching for the "perfect" wife.

Richard Nixon has Juno conjunct the Sun, with strong emphasis on the fourth and fifth houses, and has maintained a close-knit family despite public disgrace.

Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles, has Pallas conjunct his local Ascendant.

Turning to lesser-known psychotherapists than those | mentioned above, it can be noted that Pallas and/or Juno are represented characteristic feature most natal charts:

Juno is on the cusp fourth house one of them, and Pallas forms an exact conjunction with the Ascendant.

Another has Pallas, Vesta and Ceres in the first house.

In another case, Pallas forms an exact conjunction with the Ascendant and a broader conjunction with the Sun. Juno is located in the tenth house.

Another representative of this profession has Pallas in moderately close conjunction with the Ascendant, Juno in the seventh house, as well as Ceres in the first house and Vesta exactly at the Midheaven.

Another therapist has Pallas in the first house and Juno in conjunction with the Moon.

The other has an exact conjunction of Pallas and the Sun, with Juno forming a trine to them.

And, at the risk of repetition, we can say about one more person who has a conjunction of Pallas with the cusp of the fourth house, and Juno is in the tenth house in conjunction with Pluto.

A woman with Pallas in exact conjunction with the Midheaven was on the council of NOW (National Organization for Women) and founded a local branch of this organization; hosted her own television show; taught elocution and drama at the university level for many years and was also a teacher in the Methodist missionary program in Africa for four years.

Another feminist, big one, Strong woman, has Pallas exactly on the Ascendant plus a conjunction of Uranus and Ceres in Aries in the first house. She is a physical education and self-defense teacher for women.

Another feminist is actively involved in many social causes, including working with international students. She seems to act as a shared mom in addition to raising her own eight children with her husband's help. Her Pallas is conjunct the Sun in Gemini in the first house.

Another leader of the feminist movement has Pallas conjunct the Moon and Pluto.

For another representative of the women's movement, Pallas forms an exact conjunction with Mars in addition to a broad opposition to the Ascendant.

People fighting for social change:

The progressive, socially conscious Unitarian minister has Pallas conjunct the Ascendant.

A university professor who heads the teachers' union and defends their rights.

Moving towards the realm of art:

A young actor specializing in mime has an exact opposition of Pallas to the Ascendant, while his Juno forms a conjunction with Venus in the fifth house.

Another Juno/Venus conjunction is found in the chart of a psychotherapist who has a magnetic effect on women.

A brilliant young musician has Juno conjunct the Ascendant.

The skilled portrait photographer has Pallas exactly conjunct the Ascendant, while Juno is conjunct Mercury.

Another excellent photographer has an exact conjunction of Juno and Mars within two degrees of opposition to the Ascendant.

An original architect designing houses for clients has Pallas conjunct Uranus in the fifth house.

Thomas Edison also had an exact conjunction of Pallas and Uranus in Aries.

Overall, Pallas seems a little more emphasized in social affairs, and Juno is in art.

One case of perceptual problems involves a child who has an exact conjunction of Pallas and Mercury in Scorpio in the first house. This problem appeared from birth, the disorder joint activities eye muscles. The girl underwent four surgeries to cut the muscles, but still has to wear glasses with very thick lenses to prevent the effect of double vision.

An interesting case of an exact conjunction of Pallas with the Ascendant in Capricorn was associated with a normally hearing child born into a family where both parents and a brother were deaf. She became their ears. The significance of a factor in a chart indicates the importance of the aspect of life it symbolizes, but there may be special talents or serious problems, or both.

Life Events and Current Configurations: Ceres and Vesta

A number of characteristic events were already given in the initial description of the theoretical nature of asteroids. Current aspects to Ceres are centered mainly around work or some type of nurturing. For example, just by looking at the charts of the political leaders who rose to or lost power during the 1976 presidential election, it can be noted that newly elected President Jimmy Carter, former President Gerald Ford, and their wives have their respective divisive (opposition or quincunx) aspects to asteroids.

Throughout 1976, President Carter had a progressed Midheaven quincunx on Washington with progressed Ceres and progressed Vesta - a "yod" configuration that places strong emphasis on the likelihood of moving in a new direction in life. At the same time, his progressed Midheaven at his place of birth was in quincunx with natal Vesta in the fourth house, hinting at a change of location along with a change of job, and his progressed Ascendant was in quincunx with natal Ceres, repeating the statement about the likelihood of a change of job. Aspects to angles, either natal or progressive, serve as the most expressive pointers to obvious changes in life.

During the same period, Roselyn Carter had progressed Vesta conjunct natal Ceres, and progressed Venus squared it. Her progressed Ascendant was sextile to progressed Ceres, while progressed Mars was sextile to natal Vesta. The Ascendant and Mars always serve as keys to personal identity and action. Venus shares this meaning as it has progressed into the first house. Thus, the aspects connect her personal activities with these work asteroids.

Gerald Ford held good fight for holding onto the presidency in 1976, but his map also shows the likelihood of changing jobs and places of residence. Progressed Ceres was in quincunx to progressed Pluto, while progressed Saturn had just reached one and a half square to progressed Vesta in the tenth house. At the same time the progressed was in quincunx to the natal and progressed Ceres in the fourth house; again the dual theme of separation from home and work. Her progressed Moon was conjunct her natal Vesta at the time of the election. Naturally, there were many other aspects of the planets to each other, but the asteroids offered clear support for the messages of the rest of the chart.

During that same election year, Nelson Rockefeller, the outgoing vice president, had the progressive Midheaven linking up on Washington with the progressive Vesta; progressed Ceres was square progressed Venus in the tenth house (he was blocked from achieving the power he really wanted, the presidency), but Ceres was also sextile progressed Juno (his wife was happy as she never liked his involvement in politics).

Henry Kissinger, the world-famous US Secretary of State, also resigned during the administration changes. His progressed Vesta was at this time square Mars in the first house and sesquisquare to natal Ceres, while progressed Ceres was quincunx to progressed Venus and natal and progressed Pluto on the second house cusp. He moved from traveling more towards writing and teaching, alternating between ninth house activities.

Vesta was equally important in the chart of the previous president, the man responsible for the administration of Ford and Rockefeller. Richard Nixon, the first US President forced to resign in disgrace, had both of these Virgo asteroids in aspect to the Virgo Ascendant in his natal chart: Ceres sextile him and Vesta square, in addition to opposing the Midheaven. During the Watergate crisis, his progressed Vesta was conjunct his natal Sun and square his Washington Ascendant, while in solar arc directives Vesta was conjunct his natal Moon. When Nixon was elected President of the United States in the fall of 1972, transiting Vesta changed direction to conjunct his natal Midheaven. A planet in a stationary state, either moving forward or into retrograde motion, marks a time of increasing emphasis in the part of life that it symbolizes. Transiting Vesta went direct and crossed back over Nixon's tenth house MC at the same time as transiting Ceres forming an opposition to his MC in March/April 1973; At this time, the Watergate scandal became front-page news in all publications. His forced resignation occurred when, in the direction of the solar arc, Vesta reached a quincunx to his Midheaven on Washington, a typical aspect of separation from work. During this period, progressed Ceres was in aspect to natal Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven and Ascendant, and progressed Midheaven was square natal Ceres from about mid-1972 to mid-1974, depending on the exact minute of birth.

The contacts of these two Virgo asteroids with the angles, rulers of the angles, and luminaries (Sun and Moon) certainly draw attention to Nixon's professional role. His natal and progressed signs of Ceres and Vesta - Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn - indicate issues related to respect for the rights of others (Scorpio), ethical principles or values ​​(Sagittarius) and the treatment of executive authority (Capricorn). It is worth remembering that Vesta's potential is an "all or nothing" focus on work to the exclusion of everything else. Nixon apparently felt that the question of his presidency was so important that any means to achieve the goal were justified. His natal chart suggests that executive power was both a primary value (Saturn in the ninth house and Jupiter in Capricorn indicate the same danger) and an ego-stimulus (the Sun in his own home in Capricorn). Mars (my will) in Sagittarius (search for the first cause - God in some form) conjunct Mercury, ruler of the Ascendant (again my will), in Capricorn (law), and both in conjunction with Jupiter (again search for God) manifesting as "My will is God and Law,” rather than trusting that if he does his best, God will take care of the rest.

Vesta is the most dramatic example in my work with asteroids; there are too many of them to list in the available volume of the publication. Here are just a few illustrations noted during my first few months of working with these minor planets.

A woman who had been financially supported all her life went to work when progressed Vesta reached her natal Moon.

A woman with natal Vesta in Pisces in the ninth house. When the progressive Vesta reached the Midheaven, her biological father ended up in the hospital, then in a sanatorium, where he died, so she never saw him again.

When the progressed local Ascendant reached a conjunction with Vesta in the twelfth house, the man's brother committed suicide, and he broke off all relationships with people around him for a year and a half, feeling guilty that he could not protect his brother.

Man with strong Leo and Scorpio in the natal chart decided to remain single when his progressed Midheaven reached a conjunction with Vesta and Venus.

When progressed Vesta was conjunct the natal Midheaven, the woman had an abortion, divorced her husband, and allowed him to take custody of another child.

The man got divorced when the progressed Midheaven was conjunct natal Vesta.

The woman, with the conjunction of progressive Vesta with the natal Midheaven, stopped painful relationships and completely plunged into work, achieving great success in an area where she had neither training nor experience.

Two women had progressed Vesta conjunct Saturn in Capricorn when their husbands became impotent.

A woman with a long-term conjunction of progressed Vesta with the Ascendant (Vesta changed direction, so she moved very slowly) divorced her husband and spent all ten years of the exact (with an orb of one degree) aspect in a painful and continuous struggle to feed herself and her child. When the aspect ended, her sister died, leaving her with enough money that she did not have to continue working.

A man with a long eight-year conjunction of Vesta with the Descendant left his wife and children, but achieved great success in his work, moving from a low-skilled worker to a manager, and then became the owner of his own business.

A man with progressive Vesta entering the fifth house in Virgo was thinking about taking a vow of celibacy and entering a monastery. At this time he was in his fifties.

When progressed Vesta was conjunct natal Ceres, a woman gave birth to two children and gave them up for adoption; her husband divorced her and received custody of the other two children.

A woman with natal Vesta in the fifth house had a hysterectomy when progressed Vesta formed a conjunction with natal Mars in the sixth house and progressed Midheaven was in opposition to her natal Vesta.

A man with natal Vesta in Aquarius and a progressed Ascendant conjunct progressed Vesta in Pisces has developed a mysterious illness that has baffled doctors. When discussing his life

he admitted that he had always been a loner, but found satisfaction in his work. Now the work seemed uninteresting and unpleasant, it had lost all its attractiveness, but he still felt unable to form lasting personal attachments to enrich his life.

The illness forced him to face the fact that he was blocking his energy and turning it against himself. He spent a summer in another country learning and updating his approach to work, and was able to return to it with renewed enthusiasm. The disease has disappeared

and did not return for four years after that

episode. "

A woman with an exact conjunction of Vesta with the Descendant in her natal chart remained unmarried at the time of my interpretation of her chart, at which time she was already over forty years old, and she was firmly convinced that she would never marry again. She also had Ceres in Cancer conjunct Pluto and the fourth house cusp, which exactly held the latter position for a number of years in progressions. She solved the problem of her need for warm personal affection by staying with her mother. The mother had died two years before our discussion, and now this woman had stomach problems that medical research could not explain. She needed another “object of protection” and her stomach was letting her know that her dependency/care needs were not being met. She rejected the idea of ​​replacing a partner with a pet because she wanted the freedom to travel, but she would have to find some source of warm companionship to satisfy this Cancer side of her nature.

Life Events and Current Configurations: Pallas and Juno

As in the case of Ceres and Vesta, there are only a few cases in which asteroids have aspects corresponding to life events, but, apparently, with Pallas and Juno the focus is on the relationship of equals:

A woman with Taurus rising (seventh house rulers Mars and Pluto) became engaged when the progressed Sun and Midheaven formed a T-square with Pluto and progressed Mercury and Mars were in aspect to Juno. However, the man changed his mind and terminated their relationship. She married two years later, when progressed Juno reached sextile to natal Mars, and progressed Pallas reached semi-sextile to natal Pluto.

A woman began to live under the same roof with a friend when her progressed Moon was in opposition to Juno. But, as often happens when something new begins with divisive aspects, this relationship did not last long.

Another woman got married while her progressed Juno was conjunct Neptune. Her husband was a musician and later became an expert on flying saucers.

It is believed that Adolf Hitler, the dictator and instigator of World War II, married Eva Braun, his longtime acquaintance whom he had mistreated over the years, just hours before their joint suicide in 1945. At this time, Hitler's progressive Sun and Mars were square to natal Juno.

Both Pallas and Juno were involved in progressive aspects in the charts of many US political figures at the time of their marriage:

At the time of Henry Kissinger's first wedding, he had progressed Mars and progressed Ascendant conjunct natal Juno, progressed Juno just shy of semi-sextile natal Mars, progressed Venus conjunct natal and progressed Mercury, both of which were sesquisquare to natal Pallas, and progressed Pallas formed a sextile trine to the Lunar nodes. During his second marriage, Henry Kissinger had progressed Pallas opposite Pluto, tripping Vesta and sextile progressed Jupiter; progressed Juno formed a semi-square to the natal Ascendant, a trine to the progressed Midheaven, a semi-sextile to progressed Venus and a square to progressed Jupiter; the progressed Lunar nodes were sextile trine natal Juno.

Former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, at the time of his first marriage, had a progressed Moon semi-sextile progressed Pallas and progressed Juno sextile his natal Moon. At the time of his second marriage, Rockefeller had progressed Pallas square his natal Sun conjunct progressed Neptune, but Pallas was also sextile natal Jupiter and Vesta; progressed Venus was sextile natal Pallas; progressed Juno remained conjunct the south node for a number of years, showing tension in personal relationships until the end of his first marriage.

Former President Gerald Ford at his marriage had the progressed Sun quincunx to natal Juno (they were in trine in the natal chart), and progressed Pallas was quincunx to natal Venus and square to Uranus. This marriage continues and appears to be successful, but is interrupted by frequent separations due to his work, including frequent trips around the country to lecture.

Betty Ford at the time of her wedding had a quincunx of progressed Sun to progressed Pallas (in the natal chart they were in trine); progressed Pallas was trine natal Juno and square natal Moon; the progressed Moon was forming a conjunction with progressed Juno. Until a person makes real changes in his character, quality natal aspects, appears to appear while the progressive aspects mark the time of action.

At the time of President Jimmy Carter's wedding, his progressed Mars was trine his natal Juno and conjunct his progressed Pallas; progressed Saturn trine natal Pallas; progressed Juno sextile the natal Sun. His wife, Roselyn, had her progressed Ascendant sextile her progressed Pallas; progressive Midheaven in quincunx to progressive Pallas; progressed Mercury sextile natal Pallas; progressed Neptune semisextile natal Juno; and progressed Juno was just leaving semi-sextile to the natal Ascendant, but was in square to the natal Moon. IN in this case, also, the marriage was truly successful, but during it her house was repeatedly “broken down,” especially at the beginning, when Carter was a naval officer.

The event cards are also very interesting and offer clues to the nature of the situation:

When Nelson Rockefeller was sworn in

inauguration of Vice President Pallas

was just above the Ascendant in Aquarius with a stellium in Pisces in the first house: Moon, Ceres, Jupiter and

Juno. Vesta was located in Capricorn between Sol

cem in Sagittarius and Venus in Capricorn conjunct

both of them. Such combinations indicate high

hopes and dreams, some of which are obvious

were not implemented.

Former President Gerald Ford's natal chart features a Uranus/Vesta conjunction in the tenth house in Aquarius. Vesta remained in progressed conjunction with Uranus within a one degree orb for many years of his life. In his inauguration chart, when he was sworn in as President of the United States, Uranus and Vesta were conjunct on the Ascendant.

Of course, Pallas and Juno may be describing events other than marriage. Indeed, they are often significant when political leaders enter or leave office, just as they are often significant in the natal charts of such leaders:

Jimmy Carter had his progressed Moon aspecting his natal Pallas when he was elected president, while progressed Juno was square his progressed Moon. Lunar nodes and in trine to Uranus. At the same time, Roselyn Carter had a progressed Pallas conjunct natal Saturn, the key to executive power, while progressed Juno was semi-sextile to the progressed Midheaven, another key to executive power and status in society.

Walter Mondale's Progressed Pallas was conjunct Progressed Mars when he was elected Vice President. Remember that all progressive aspects are limited to an orb of one degree.

Gerald Ford had a progressive Pallas opposition to his natal Ascendant when he became president.

Nelson Rockefeller, when he became Vice President, was aspected by progressed Pallas and progressed Sun and progressed Ascendant.

Maurice Udale had his incredible Leo stellium (progressed Ascendant, Sun, Neptune and Mercury exactly conjunct each other) sextile progressed Pallas as he sought the presidency. Pallas was also sextile to natal Mars.

Conclusion

Even though humanity has been observing the “clock in the sky” for thousands of years and trying to decipher its writing, there are still an endless number of questions to which we do not have definitive answers. We know that astrology works. We have theories about how and why it works, but no evidence. We also have conflicts regarding aspects and orbs; regarding house systems and even zodiacs. But we are not alone in our conflicts. As noted in the case of Patricia Hirst, "scientific" disciplines that study the same subject, the human mind and life, are equally torn by conflicting theories. Psychology and psychiatry are divided by the same gulf between a materialistic worldview and a view that accepts reason and meaning as fundamental realities. Research will resolve some of these questions, but basic metaphysical principles will probably always be, to some extent, a matter of faith.

Meanwhile we learn through personal experience, to the extent to which we are prepared, to look at the world, leaving all theories, as they deserve, as theories to be tested. The day is fast approaching when we will have many more asteroids to test. It is possible that there is no "unoccupied" sign or house or "unaspected" planet. It will only be a question of relative strength, and we may need computers to weigh a variety of factors.

But this is an exciting time for people involved in astrology, as astrology will break through the stronghold of science and command attention and respect in the coming years. The materialistic premises of science are discarded, but more than ever we need scientific method, when we venture into the uncharted world of the mind and its powers. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground as you reach out to the stars.

House/planet/sign combinations

Comment:

Each combination has a joint key value. For example, the first house, Mars and Aries are cardinal, fiery and symbolize direct self-expression, self-will in actions.

The use of the terms (+) "positive" and (-) "negative" in astrology is similar to the use of these terms in electricity, without associating them with the meanings of "good" and "bad". It is believed that positive signs (air and fire) are active, open, spontaneous, oriented towards external expression, while negative signs (earth and water) are counteractive, hidden, cautious, serious, oriented towards conservation and retention.

Although three external, recently open planets control of three signs has been transferred, the traditional lords of these signs must still be taken into account when considering the chart houses ruled by them. This applies to Jupiter as the co-ruler of Pisces, Saturn as the co-ruler of Aquarius and Mars as the co-ruler of Scorpio. Four asteroids discovered between Mars and Jupiter have also proven useful. Ceres and Vesta appear to share the rulership of Virgo with Mercury, while Pallas and Juno share the rulership of Libra with Venus.
