crimsoncurrentCeres in the natal chart represents how your mother nurtured you, and how you, in turn, nurtured others, which spills over into how you make your living. Ceres, the Goddess of the harvest (specifically wheat, which makes cereal and bread), represents what you have internalized as worthy of nurturing yourself and others. Think of what the hippies used to call money, “bread,” and you’ll understand that she is interlinked with how we make our living as well.
Think about the way your mother spent time with you, gave you attention. The moments you can look back on your childhood and feel connected to her, the joyous moments when you felt loved. This is where and how Ceres works in your chart. In my case, the positive times I had with my mother were sitting at the kitchen table, talking about spirituality, philosophy, and religion. I have Ceres in Gemini in my 9th house. Those times when my mother and I had a cup of tea and talked about all the big things in the universe, and later we both wrote, so we also talked about writing, are my fond memories of her.
