Ceres

The largest body of the asteroid belt and the first of the four major asteroids used in modern astrology.

What this means

Ceres is the archetype of nourishment — how you feed and are fed, literally and emotionally — together with the cycles of loss and reunion drawn from the Demeter myth. Her sign shows your style of care; her house shows where care is given and needed most.

In practice

In K A X A N T A, ceres is one of the concepts The Architect cross-references when synthesising your reading. The western astrology engine surfaces it alongside seven other wisdom traditions so you can see how the same question reads through multiple lenses.
