![]() ![]() ![]() As an adult, you’re comfortable with a vibrant exchange of ideas, rather than hugs. Home was a place where ideas could be safely exchanged, and you were encouraged to read, discuss and question. Your intellect and curiosity were nurtured instead. But Gemini’s domain is the mind, so maybe nurturing was not expressed primarily with food and cuddles. For example, natal Ceres in 4th House (home and family) Gemini might indicate that your childhood home was a nurturing place. She is strongly associated with motherhood. Natal Ceres by house, sign and planetary aspect describes the kind of nurturing you received as a child, the kind of nurturing you give and accept as an adult, and how you deal with the threat of loss. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Ceres between two charts will not make or break a relationship, but this asteroid gives insight into the intricacies of nurturing, separation and loss between two people. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. ![]()
