ceresness
Ceres is an asteroid, named after a hearth goddess, that symbolizes nurturing ability, unconditional love, and family attachments, but when it goes backwards in the sky, this is a time when your nurturing will need to be turned inward. This celestial event takes place on April 28th and it is going to last until August 8th.
In essence, Ceres Retrograde does not bode well for relationships, especially if they are codependent in the first place. Someone could unexpectedly withdraw their affections or try to break an emotionally unhealthy cycle by behaving dramatically differently. Addictions and abusive patterns of behavior also tend to be more apparent when Ceres goes backwards in the sky. Romantic relationships in general will seem a little colder.
Usually, the message of Ceres Retrograde is to go inward and cultivate your ability to unconditionally love yourself, if you want to be able to love others better. Instead of being a fountain of sympathy and understanding for everyone else, focus on fulfilling your own needs. This is the best way to encourage others to do the same and you'll still be helping them by decreasing their dependent tendencies on you.
Yet another consequence of this can be poor crops as Ceres is an agricultural goddess.
