Asteroid Cerberus (1865)

Asteroid Cerberus (1865) is a minor body in the asteroid belt, named after the mythological three-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld in Greek mythology. As the offspring of Typhon and Echidna, Cerberus prevents the dead from escaping and the living from entering without permission, with its three heads often symbolizing the past, present, and future.

This guardianship role forms the basis of its astrological interpretations, which are niche and primarily drawn from modern asteroid astrology sources. While not as widely used as major asteroids like Ceres or Chiron, Cerberus in a natal chart typically highlights themes of protection, boundaries, loyalty, and gatekeeping—indicating where you fiercely guard something valuable, act as a protector, or enforce irrevocable entries/exits in life.

Key Astrological Themes

Guardianship and Protection: Cerberus often points to what you are particularly protective of, such as personal secrets, family assets, relationships, or self-identity. For instance, in the 2nd house, it might manifest as safeguarding wealth or resources, while in the 12th house, it could involve protecting hidden aspects like dreams or vulnerabilities.

It can indicate a "watchdog" energy, where you stand as a loyal guardian against threats, sometimes extending to defending others or enforcing boundaries.
Boundaries and Irrevocable Access: Reflecting its mythological role, Cerberus symbolizes exclusive or one-way entry—situations where once something (or someone) enters a realm, there's no turning back, or where access is strictly controlled. This could relate to life transitions, commitments, or areas where you prevent intrusion or escape.

Multifaceted Awareness and Time: The three heads may represent an all-knowing quality, allowing you to perceive past, present, and future dynamics in a given area. This can make you insightful or intuitive about others, but it might also create fear or intimidation, causing people to misjudge you.

Loyalty, Tradition, and Challenges: It emphasizes loyalty and adherence to traditions, but can also highlight broken trust, domination, or getting entangled in unrelated drama. In transits, it may signal times when personal processes or boundaries are tested.

Other Manifestations: Less commonly, it could relate to gluttony (drawing from Cerberus's devouring nature), creative talents hidden behind protective layers, or even literal connections to dogs or pets.

To interpret Cerberus in your chart, consider its sign, house, aspects, and degree. For example, in Cancer, it might amplify emotional protectiveness toward family, while conjunct the Descendant could mean guarding partnerships closely.

Astrologers recommend cross-referencing with related asteroids like Typhon (42355) or Heracles (5143) for deeper insights.

Interpretations can vary by practitioner, as asteroid astrology is interpretive and not standardized.

2025

July 2025 — Uranus Enters Gemini: Truth Disrupted
On July 7, Uranus enters Gemini, joining Jupiter in the 9th house and striking at the nation’s legal nervous system. This is the signature of disruption—of sudden shifts in how justice, truth, and authority are communicated and contested.

A cyber or media scandal may erupt, possibly tied to Musk or another tech giant, igniting debates around surveillance, censorship, and the ethics of digital power. Infrastructure may falter. Courts may fracture. Narratives may splinter into competing realities.

The old rules no longer apply. Uranus rewrites the manual.

August 2025 — The Dream Dissolves
Neptune and Saturn retrograde near the U.S. IC, the chart’s deepest root. The illusion of institutional righteousness breaks down. Ethics scandals may rock the Supreme Court, or state courts may rise to national prominence as trust in federal authority wanes.

This is the moment the country realizes that no institution is sacred, no narrative untouchable. Disillusionment deepens—but from it, a grassroots truth may begin to form.

September 2025 — Eclipse Reckonings: Who Owns the Truth?
The eclipse season culminates in a lunar eclipse in Pisces (September 7) and a solar eclipse in Virgo (September 21), activating the 3rd and 9th houses—America’s axis of communication and ideology.

The Pisces lunar eclipse at 15° casts a haze over the nation’s media, education, and public speech. Emotional revelations surface. A media entity may fracture or fall. Confusion spreads—but clarity begins to gestate in the shadows.

Then, the Virgo solar eclipse at 28° lands like a scalpel in the 9th house, opposing the U.S. Venus and Jupiter in Cancer. This is a moment of reckoning for the legal system, for truth-tellers, and for those who build the moral structure of the nation. What began in March as a question of who judges now ends in how judgment is defined, enforced, and institutionalized.

Final Reflection: The Fire We Carry
From March through September, the U.S. chart is lit up by fire, truth, and transformation. The Libra eclipse tested the legitimacy of power. The Pisces eclipse dissolves old stories. The Virgo eclipse demands we write new ones—precise, ethical, and built to endure.

In the middle of it all, Mars in Gemini, America’s courtroom warrior, takes the field. Not with violence, but with language, with argument, with law.

And in the Promethean arc of 2025, we are reminded: fire is a gift—but it always comes with a cost. Whether that cost is paid by tech titans, Supreme Court justices, or the public trust itself… remains to be seen.

The sky is on fire. And so is the future.

Eris in da houses

The #Astrology of Eris: Eris in the Houses
Posted on March 19, 2015 by Beth Turnage
Eris Glyph(Astrology Explored) Eris, the black winged goddess of Strife is a portion of the Sumerian goddess Innana, :

Inanna could be wily and cunning. She was a powerful warrior, who drove a war chariot, drawn by lions

Innanna ruled as a goddess during the dawn of human civlization and not only represented strength in battle, but also:

She endowed the people of Sumer with gifts that inspired and insured their growth as a people and a culture

.

When the patriarchal tribes of Northern Greece over ran the Southern matriarchal tribes all the goddesses, including Eris, suffered a reduction in power and influence as the new patriarchal religious forms supplanted matriarchal forms. Those goddess images that survived with good press, Venus, for instance, morphed from stronger images of War Goddesses, to more docile forms. Eris, as “queen of battle” didn’t translate well into the new dichotomy and therefore became an “outsider” in the patriarchal Greek pantheon.

Eris defines the part of ourselves whose essential nature is as odds with our current cultural norms. This part of us stands against “what everyone does”. With Eris now recognized in our solar system and now part of our developmental path as a species, this is the time for us to recognize that true inner voice that does not bend to the will of the many. We may kick up some discord, but it is for our own good.

Eris in the Houses


When Eris resides in your first house, your mission is to trust yourself. You will have opinions that differ from societies’, you will do things different from other people. You will experience pain and loss here, because though you may desire to integrate fully into society, you can not. This in not a Uranian process where you discover your individuality. The Eris process dictates that your innate sense of values pits yourself against society. You have no other choice.

With Eris in your second house of resources, it is your task to sound the alarm regarding the incorrect use of resources. You have a vastly different way handling money and wealth which involves the sharing of resources. People think you are foolish with your use of money. You are not. You realize the value of sharing cooperatively, though there is a danger of using your resources to dominate your social sphere.

In the third house of communications, Eris gives you a strong voice that sounds discordant against the sounds of the collective. You have the intellect to discern what is off balance and not in the interests of the society. You must beware of forcing your opinions on others, but it your job to tell society at large your perceptions.

When Eris resides in your fourth house of the home you have the power to recognize how past conditions have contributed to current problems. You experience through your childhood how unequal power distribution causes problems in the home. If you are wise, you will work on these dynamics in your own life, so the same bitter fruit is not born. If you do not, you will repeat the experiences of your parents.

Eris in the fifth house of romance and creativity gives you the power to create divergent forms that highlights societal problems caused by unequal power distribution. Your images, your writing, your music can inspire others with the power of your message. Likewise, if you misspend your gift, your art will devolve into pointless blame games. You must work to overcome that tendency in your life.

When Eris sits in your sixth house of health and servants, you challenges your authority with others and other people’s authority to make health care decisions for you. This latter situation can manifest as a health care crisis that is not managed correctly by the care provider calling for clarity of thinking and intervention on your part. You will have to be your own best health care advisor.

In your seventh house of partnerships Eris will create situations of unequal distribution of power that will stress your relationship. You will have to work at finding a partner that will share your goal of sharing the work and well as the joys of partnership, or suffer the consequences for failing to doing so. If you attempt to follow traditional male/female roles, your relationship will ultimately lose its vitality and strength of purpose.

Eris in your eighth house of death [transformation] creates situations where you experience people trying to take away your resources. Inheritances, insurance payments and loans can be contentious and difficult experiences, especially if you are elected to be the consevator/distributor of those funds. You may have to share a partnership role in the disbursement of funds, but do not have final say in where they are to go. In the area of sexual development you may have sexual experiences that are incomplete or unsatisfying due to one partner or the other demanding a control of the sexual experience.

With Eris in the ninth house of law and education, you may experience education and travel opportunities that are divergent from the norm. You may find the traditional educational process difficult to complete because of your urges to pursue your own line of study. Travel takes you to places where you glimpse the economic inequities of life. Even if you go to a sunny Carribean beach for vacation you might find yourself getting lost in the slums.

When Eris resides in the tenth house of authority and power, you are here to understand your role in taking care of the those with less power than you. Should you not have a natural understanding of this role, Eris will make sure you experience the consequences of the bigger fish eating the smaller fish. You will experience why some people insist on “survival of the fittest” and you will not necessarily be the one considered “fit”. When you grow in wisdom in this role, you wlll be a fine steward of the needs of the people.

Eris in the eleventh house of organizations and friends, you either do or will come to understand the necessity of a cooperative role within the group. You may be confronted with situations that place you outside the group for a time to experience the feeling of “odd man out.” In a cooperative society there is no room for pushing people to an outsider’s position. When you come to understand this yourself, you can teach the rest of your brothers and sisiters.

In the twelfth house of connection with the your higher sources, Eris gives you a voice to speak about how this dimension’s experience does not necessarily mirror all of reality. You have a powerful prophetic voice that holds much wisdom and truth. You can channel the wisdom of higher realms and have the ability to access the Akashic records without the guidance of the guardians from the other side. However, because your voice is at dissonance with the drumbeat of your time, often you are not listened to, like Cassandra of Trojan War fame.

14 Cancer

A VERY OLD MAN FACING A VAST
DARK SPACE TO THE NORTHEAST
Commentary: ‘A Very Old Man’ is ‘Facing a Vast Dark Space to the
Northeast’. He may be feeling old, lost and in need of guidance.
Washington DC, the capital of America, from the majority of the
country is in the ‘Northeast’. This is the Symbol of America’s
Sun sign, the 4th July. It speaks of looking towards that place.
This is also the degree of the fixed star Sirius, the star many have
looked to for spiritual direction. The ‘Vast Dark Space’ may feel
like alien or foreign territory. The ‘Very Old Man’ looks to the
‘Northeast’ for guidance; perhaps he is looking at a particular
star or merely “staring into a void”. Can he find salvation there?
answers?—or does he feel lost and deserted? People overwhelmed
by “big brother”, commercialism and the battle to “keep up” can
feel ‘Old’ in some way. However, direction may be found in this
‘Vast Dark Space’.
Oracle: Guidance may be needed, but it can be hard to come by;
faith may be the only light to guide you through. As we grow and
age, we can choose to become more enlightened, with a greater
ability to see spiritual truth. However, you could be feeling that
even faith is difficult to keep hold of at the moment. You may feel
let down by people—friends, family, or lovers, right through to
authorities or the government. There needs to be both trust and
courage that one’s inner wisdom is in touch with some higher
truth. We need this especially when we don’t know where we’re
going and feel like we have to take things one day at a time.
Once we have completed our journey in this life, there is still
the mystery of the next life. Venturing into the unknown when
you think you have seen it all can be a reminder of the thrill of
life. Take some time to look to to the sky at night; this may bring
encouragement and some kind of realization or fulfillment.
Keywords: American Indians and other native peoples that have
been left in the dark. Losing faith in the future. The dying out
of cultures or languages. Washington DC. Staring into a void.
Blindness. Searching for answers. Sirius—the Dog Star. Magnetic
shifts. Compass directions. Stargazing. Navigation. Faith. The
earth’s poles. Astronomy. Vast dark arenas. Wisdom that comes
with age. Feeling old before one's time. Seeking purpose and
direction.
The Caution: Seeing nothing. A lack of purpose. Abandonment,
rejection, loss and darkness. The exploitation and abandonment
of native people. Myopia. Voids. Emptiness

Janduz: Dangers linked to water (if Imum Coeli involved).
Others lack physical references.




====================================================================================================

- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Carelli

13-14 deg Cancer An inborn nobility, such as to raise a peasant’s son to a higher status on account of his native superiority; a natural sway over others, high feelings, kind manners. The native’s judgment will be right and will be listened to. He will be fond of art and, in art, of the sublime. Though usually smooth mannered, he might become boisterous at times owing to an excessive emotivity.

His mind’s adaptable manifoldness is, so to speak, boundless, and will balk at no practical problem. His favorite sciences are natural history (especially botany) and mathematics (above all, astronomy); among arts, poetry and painting and among crafts, goldsmithy. Whether practicing them or not, the native will become a protector of arts as soon as he can.

96

A fresh, healthy complexion, possibly doomed to wither early.

The native’s marriage partner should come of a noble family; famous through its old lineage or through artistic achievements or otherwise. Usually there is plenty of luck, but the other components must be recognized.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Bardon

128: Camalo (14° Cancer) - This head is well informed on the remotest secrets of magical science and shows the magician means and ways, as well as methods, by which he can make himself invisible. It is with Camalo's help that the magician becomes invisible, i. e. that he can betake himself into all spheres, mentally, astrally and, if necessary, also physically, without being recognized there. The faculty of making oneself invisible anywhere desired is quite a special faculty that is only controlled by a few magicians.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Chandra

CANCER 14 A dried up streambed covered with smooth rocks.

810

Unless tragedy strikes, a new Earth cannot be accessed. Only as all the old, familiar places dry up is there a path to walk revealed beneath, pristine and beckoning. It is no use looking back. The way lies right here, strewn with experience, memory, loss, and redemption by walking onward. It is a difficult, painstaking journey from here. You have to go so deep inside burrowing into the cave of navigational realization, that you are held, cherished, known, given all you need; yet as well required, commanded, to become entirely purposeful and to be the path and to cease all complaining and extraneous consciousness. This, in order to do what is here to do, with your entire being in ring- ing conviction and fidelity to the highest.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Charubel

A man, standing before an audience, with all the paraphernalia of a juggler. This denotes one having all-round accomplishments. He is never at a loss through lack of resources. He is capable of turning his hand or his wits to anything.

- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Henson

13-14 deg Cancer

Business ability, music; singleness of purpose; may work with publicity or insurance, math ability; can work in solitude; religion, or lack of it, sometimes plays a part; a person of great emotions; gives great energy; severity, cruelty, or punishment; honor, renown, custodians, guardians, curator; high offices in the government; abdominal walls.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Janduz

13 Cancer "A star shines brightly over a bed of flowers and a lamb wearing a crown adorned with a star." Intelligent, serious, and determined character. One has a keen interest in plants, precious gems and metal, and in all matters related to astronomy and space, including rockets and spaceships. If the family belongs to a high social layer, one perpetuates the tradition and increases the inherited wealth. If of modest origins, one distinguishes oneself through one's work and earns a brilliant reputation. In both cases, one achieves wealth and success, probably owing to a precocious marriage. Travels and education are very favoured. If in the natal chart, the Midheaven is in conjunction with this degree, all the good omens are strengthened. With the Imum Coeli, it heralds dangers linked to water.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Kozminsky

13-14 deg Cancer

Symbol: A crab climbing up an upright iron spear, above which is a circlet of seven stars.

Denotes one who, never daunted by obstacles, opposition, and hardship, will rise by his own effort to a position of dignity and importance in his special sphere. Uniting an iron will to stubbornness of purpose, the native proves his worth, and triumphs. It is a symbol of Irrefragability.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Leinbach

13-14 deg Cancer

This degree is productive of a keen mind with the utmost ability to ferret out intricate patterns. It grants a mind capable of dealing with subtle meanings. The memory is excellent, grasping information quickly and easily, and then retained until the meanings of many otherwise disconnected bits of information fall into place in a coherent manner. Such a mind is capable of being severe or even cruel in getting to the point. A lawyer with this degree prominent would go to extremes to pursue a point, while walking a tight logical line. Religion may play a part in this native’s development. However, any philosophy adhered to by this native would have to be very well supported by solid thinking. He will look not alone for evidence of perfection to the letter but more deeply demands perfection of function. Any subtle weaknesses will be dislodged and questioned. Along with these abilities there is great sensitivity which results in awareness. There are often problems in marriage because of these qualities even when used with compassion he may be felt to be hyper-critical and fault-finding. There is great devotion to home, however the family will not be able to deter him from his path. There is great difficulty in making a start at times. But once a direction has been established he makes remarkable progress, because the difficulties have long since been eliminated. There is an insatiable thirst for knowledge which never slackens from the cradle to the grave.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Muir

13-14 deg Cancer

Undaunted by obstacles he rises to a position of prominence in middle life, but is considered willful and stubborn.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Sabian

PHASE 104 (CANCER 14°): A VERY OLD MAN FACING A VAST DARK SPACE TO THE NORTHEAST.

KEYNOTE: Fulfillment in transcending and changeless wisdom.

This symbol describes the Wise Old Man, an archetypal figure found in all systems of symbolism. In occult terminology the northeast is the direction from which spiritual-cosmic forces enter the Earth-sphere. This is probably because the polar axis of the Earth is inclined by some 23 degrees away from the exact perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. Thus the actual pole of our globe not only differs from the permanent pole of the Earth’s orbit , but constantly changes its direction, successively pointing to several large “circumpolar” stars during the so-called processional cycle (or “tropical year,” or Great Polar Cycle), which lasts somewhat less than 26,000 years. Because of this inclination of the polar axis, we have the phenomenon of seasonal change. Supposedly during the early Golden Age no such change occurred; a “perpetual spring” reigned. This is the (traditionally) spiritual state. The Wise Old Man faces the Changeless Reality, the true North—which for us is located in a northeast direction. He faces the great Void, that apparent Darkness which is an intense Light invisible to our senses.

As this is a fourth stage symbol in the five-fold sequence, there is as usual a hint of technique. Implied is that by consistently and for a long time meditating on the changeless and spiritual reality at the very core of all experiences one can attain the supreme and age-old wisdom. We see in the symbol a way beyond appearances and toward PERMANENCE IN TRUTH.


- Sun 13°19' Cancer - Weber

13-14 deg Cancer

Busy, emotional, artistic, apt to rise quickly in status, and attracts a great many love interests. Success in general and good, usually stable marriage. Drawn to arts, opinionated, and with double air influence of Gemini/Libra puts ideas to use, and creates superior works of art.

- Moon 27°10' Aquarius - Carelli

26-28 deg Aquarius

28 Aquarius

Moon at 27°10' Aquarius - Carelli (26-28° Aquarius)The provided query includes a partial reference to Carelli's interpretation for 26-28° Aquarius, but the full text is not given in the input. Based on available sources, Carelli's degree for approximately 26-27° Aquarius is symbolized as "A Renaissance castle," describing a highly desirable influence: The native is an aristocratic being with innate refinement, culture, chivalrous soul, and keen honor. Success, honors, and riches are promised, with the ability to command obedience through kindness and firmness. Wealth and happiness follow, but humility is advised to avoid arrogance.
