The 2015 Sagittarius Full Moon “After-Party” – A Double Lunar Grand Trine and the Other Retrograde (Ceres)

So the big celebrity event of the astrological day yesterday, 2nd June 2015, was the Sagittarius Full Moon that was at its fullest phase at 9:19a PDT. In my previous post, I noted that the Sagittarius Moon was also a player in two lunar mutable t-square configurations leading up to the Moon’s maximum full phase – one at 3:28a PDT, and the other at 7:24a PDT. I mentioned that there were quite a few truths factual and emotional that would come to Light and need to be addressed during the course of the day & for a couple of days before and after.

What I didn’t mention in the Full Moon post is that the T-squares and the Full Moon were not the only big events of the day. There was a LOT of transit activity yesterday. I chose to focus on what I thought would be most significant when discussing the Full Moon, yet there was so much more.

Later, as the Sagittarius Full Moon made its second (post-maximum) appearance in the night sky last night, there were a few more astrological events of note.

Ceres in Scorpio – February 2014 – The Transformation of Your Comfort Zone

Ceres is often referred to as “The Great Mother”, yet in my experience, I have found that Ceres shares the mothering duties with the Moon.  Where the Moon is the emotional component of the maternal impression, Ceres is the physical component.

Ceres reveals what has us feel safe, secure, and taken care of on a physical-material level.  It represents our creature comforts – what we need to “survive” and the quality of those needs based on our early or conditioned impressions.  It’s the quality aspect that lends Ceres to another association – with our personal values and standards, our personal lifestyles.

When it comes to our lifestyle resources, what is “good enough” for us?  This is often determined by what we value – by what is comfortable for us.  For some, appropriate shelter is a cardboard box that won’t leak when it rains.  For others, nothing less than an 8-bedroom mansion on 10 acres of land will do.  It all depends on who you are as an individual, and what your personal comfort levels are.

For the reasons noted above, I associate Ceres with the sign of Taurus to answer the questions, “What are you comfortable with?” and “What makes you feel safe and at ease?”
