Positions
Ceres in Leo
With Ceres in Leo, you nurture through warmth, play, encouragement, and celebrating the people you love, and you feel most cared for when you are appreciated and seen. Nourishment is heartfelt recognition. The gift is a generous, dramatic, confidence-building love that draws others out. The shadow is care that needs to be praised in return, or attention given with strings. The loss-and-return cycle plays out around being valued for who you are, not what you provide. At your best you love people into their own radiance.
Lean in — Celebrate others freely, without needing it returned in praise.
Watch for — Give care with quiet strings attached to being appreciated.
