Woman as Lover or Mother: The Venus-Ceres Crisis

Submitted by ciuboda on 7 November, 2008 - 18:19.

"In our modern "civilized" society, woman's role as a loving person is divided. The sensuous, erotic function (woman as lover) has been disassociated from the maternal role (woman as mother). One example of the suppression of the sensuous aspect of the mother-child bond is the use of plastic pacifiers. Few people feel it is socially acceptable for a mother to breast-feed her child openly in public, but if she is apparently enjoying the process, it is considered somewhat pornographic and even incestuous. Yet science tells us that women are not divided biologically. There is a physiological behavior that is common to both lovemaking and nursing, as well as natural childbirth. The hormone oxytocin is released during orgasm, lactation and childbirth"

    "Venus symbolizes attraction of all kinds, infatuation, desire, attachment, and emotional needs.

Venus has dominion over combining and coordinating different things, including parts of the body, countries, companies, ideas, and any two things whatsoever.

    'I became fascinated with Ceres back in 1995. I had already fallen for Chiron in my chart consultation work and wanted one more celestial body to dance through the zodiac with the eleven "planets" I was using. After devouring "Asteroid Goddesses" by Demetra George I wanted to add all four asteroids to every chart, but decided I only had room for one. A shaman casting too many bones might be prone to confusion. I wanted twelve celestial bodies to go with twelve signs and houses, to keep the sacred geometry in tact.

    'Venus in the 12th house, Venus in Pisces, Venus-Neptune aspects and Neptune in the 7th house can manifest in similar ways, because Neptune, the 12th house, and Pisces are all related energies and because Venus rules the 7th house of relationships. (Neptune in Libra–a placement shared by a whole generation–can have some of these qualities as well if it’s strong in the chart.)'
