An underlying and potentially agitating influence over the next month or so comes from transiting stimulation to the formidable dwarf planet Ceres. A cantankerous sort, Ceres wants what she wants and will sacrifice anything to get what she desires in the way she desires it... even if it means cutting off the nose to spite the face. Astronomically, an assessment of Ceres’ physical characteristics confirms she maintains a disposition similar to Pluto or Eris. She is indeed a force with which everyone must reckon... how she stands in the natal chart, where she transits and the relationship she maintains with other planets, natally. And by her current position... one is urged to reckon well! She is something else. It is worthy of note that other gods, including Jupiter, deferred to her whims and laments throughout mythological lore.
Upcoming Mars, Mercury, Venus and the Sun all directly and distinctly aspect Ceres. As well, Mercury, Venus and the Sun all engage with the Galactic Center. Mercury does so following their Ceres aspect, Venus at the same time as Ceres, and for the Sun, the aspect to Ceres follows the conjunction to the Galactic Center - a most curious set of circumstances, indeed!

The key above is to keep in mind there are always two points of view (at least, maybe three or more) to every situation. Instead of the urge to whine, declare a foul or incite vengeance for a perceived grievance, work to examine all aspects of the situation(s) that incite(s) your ire. Realize that others not aligned with your ideas actually believe what they contend. Why is that? Does it help to know how they arrived at their conclusions? Or is the fact that the belief is held sufficient... and can openness be applied to create objective informational exchanges?
A key with Ceres is to ensure before taking action that the beliefs underscoring your presumptions are on the moral high ground, the correct side of the law, and that efforts exerted to ease ire will achieve a result that creates negotiated resolution, not scorched Earth.
01 December Mercury in Sagittarius square Ceres in Virgo
Likely the urge to state ones point of view tops the list of priorities. If rushed, others may fail to grasp your communication agenda entirely. Take your time in issuing any point that needs to be made. Include only relevant details - no tangents or distractions. And ensure all needed facts, reasons, beliefs that contribute to your communiqué are stated. Bear in mind that if you skip a step in explaining your thought process, others will have questions. These questions imply no inadequacy or judgment. Simply, others do not have enough information to track your mental flow.
Consider that when looking at the constellation Sagittarius, or Virgo or any defined stellar gathering for that matter, the stars are seen as a flat template for the stellar pattern. If you moved deep into space and examined the stars of any constellation from a right angle, the distances between those stars and the layout would make the constellation imperceptible. The point: Observations made from varying points of view see things differently. From that point of view, the perception is the perception. Strive for inclusive consideration of alternative points of view that appear alien.
While there may be factors that contribute to distortions of points of view, seek to declare what causes such refractions instead of discrediting strange points of view. Also, consider the intent behind sharing information and the motive behind sharing “campfire stories.”
04 December Mercury to the Galactic Center by conjunction
Pure insight flows from the core of the galaxy seeking to update all mental operating systems. Note that in receiving galactic insights several steps must occur to claim access to the cosmic data. First, the insight must be consciously sought and downloaded when it appears. Following downloading the cosmic files must be installed into ones consciousness. During the installation, note that it must overwrite existing thought processes, and while conducting that action, a purge of files no longer needed or relevant must be performed. Clean out additional redundant files. When done with that, test the insights recently received by clear declaration with the understanding that they will not immediately click in the collective. Declarations may take a while for others to emotionally wrap around concepts offered.
07 December Venus in Sagittarius square Ceres and Virgo, both to the Galactic Center
Double duty for Venus and Ceres. Not only are both the goddess planets square, they simultaneously tap all the best insights the supermassive black hole that is our Galactic Core. They include all frequencies of emanations, discriminating against none. These planets have a specific agenda... examining the need underneath agendas that creates an energy that either conflicts with fulfillment of those agendas or works to usher those agendas forward. If feeling stuck, clear the energy behind motivations and intentions... then state your needs. It’s like magic unclogging goo!
18 December Sun in Sagittarius conjunct Galactic Center
This aspect is about establishing a clear pipeline to external cosmic forces that exist. They are unlimited. What will help is to realize that a vast array of energy frequencies originate in the Galactic Center and beam toward Earthlings. It benefits an inhabitant of the third planet from the Sun to know which frequency can be most easily accessed and requires less translation, decoding or captioning to absorb the messaging. Bear in mind, it may not be the same frequency all the time. Allow for instinctive response to information in the moment. Like in the old days, tune those radio knobs... especially the ones attached to your chakras. Receive and absorb all the information. Then, physically write down what you received and learned and decide how you are going to promulgate the gift(s) you received from above.
22 December Sun in Capricorn square Ceres in Libra
Scorched Earth makes no sense as a policy. Why obliterate a city and render it to ruins only to claim it is conquered and then commence restoration and rebuilding? Capricorn despises wasted resources... and for what? The underscoring force here is perceiving fairness and feeling that one received their due. Those scorned tend to scorch, but again, to what gain? Capricorn wryly reports from the elevated perch goats often achieve, you know, living well might be the best revenge. What if you learn the system you oppose and work it to your advantage? You know, like those dang metaphysical axioms annoyingly report, create change from within to without to better access that damn as above, so below stuff. Right? Give that a whirl for a while would you? And, oh by the way, release past attachments to sticking points before going to do that within to without thing.
Perhaps it is good to recall a current model of astronomical thinking. There are verifiable physical facts about Ceres that imply that she once resided out in the Kuiper Belt in Pluto’s range. Jupiter evidently induced her gravitationally to relocate to prime property in the asteroid belt. Imagine, Jupiter may have physically caused Ceres to step back from and reset life perceptions far away from the primary source of her scorn! Is there a model for reactionary behavior for an Earthling in so doing? One way to know for sure.
More soon!
