In astrology, Ceres is a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is commonly included among the four major astrological asteroids. Named for the Roman goddess of agriculture, fertility, and the harvest, Ceres is often interpreted symbolically in relation to nurturing, sustenance, caregiving, attachment, separation, loss, and renewal. Astrologers may consider Ceres’s zodiac sign, house placement, and aspects when exploring how themes of care, support, autonomy, and changing bonds may appear within the larger pattern of a natal chart. Its astrological meaning is symbolic and interpretive rather than predictive.
