4 Zodiacs Impacted By The Ceres Retrograde On May 14th

Ceres – the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt — goes retrograde in Capricorn on May 14. Considered one of the four major asteroids in astrology, Ceres represents cycles of the natural world, feminine energy, and womanhood. For all signs, this retrograde provides an opportunity to slow down and remember what it means to nurture and prioritize ourselves. The relationship we have to self-care is a powerful one, and one that goes far deeper than surface level actions and behaviors alone. These 4 Zodiac members will be particularly influenced. 

Taurus

A sign who appreciates the finer things in life, especially within the realm of sensual pleasure, one of your deepest fears is sensing as though you’re moving away from life’s dreams and goals. With Ceres in retrograde, Taurus, you may notice things feeling awry. This sense of activation may trigger anxious thoughts and beliefs. Although the idea of change can be scary, layers of reality are presenting themselves to align with dreams and goals more fully than you ever could have imagined. Prioritizing grounding is essential over the next few months, as this is a period for integration.

Cancer

As Capricorns’ adversary, you may find this retrograde brings light to darkness never known. Going inward is a process that brings deep fulfillment to you, Cancer, as queen of the unconscious world. You may notice patterns of self-care that are no longer serving you, but in turn find qualities of inner strength, peace, and resilience. Your challenge is to give yourself opportunities to heal old patterns in real-time rather than remain stuck in self-reflection or emotional processing. Go all in on healing, and bring insight into action.

Virgo

You have a strong connection to the feminine, unseen forces of this world, Virgo. With Ceres governing qualities related to self-care, this retrograde will provide ample opportunities to take healing capabilities inward. You have a tendency to see yourself as a martyr, and these next few months will challenge the ways you see yourself. Perhaps an illness or health struggle will lead you to spend more time tending to your own healing, or your inner child will call to ask for more protection, love, and nurturance. Sometimes what feels like a step backwards is really a shift forward in the right direction.

Capricorn

No path is purely linear, Capricorn. Perhaps life hasn’t been going as swimmingly as you’ve been making it out to be. You may find old patterns impeding — rather than supporting — an authentic path forward. These next few months are a call to go inward, develop radical self-honesty, and challenge ways to find comfort in the ungrounded nature of reality. You may feel your sense of self-confidence plummeting, and it’s important to remember that growth happens outside a three-dimensional reality alone. It’s okay — and highly encouraged — to reinvent routines.
