"With Ceres in the house of personality, it is important to you to project a protective and nurturing quality into the world. You can take on leadership and responsibility in such an unassuming, born-to-help way that people don't even realize you're leading: they just want you to look after them! You have a knack for helping other people to 'find themselves', at least once you've found yourself, and that self has a good deal of the good mother or father in it. Unless Mars is rampant, you will appear gentle, but also strong and stable. People turn to you for guidance and comfort, and you will lead your life in such a way that you develop the skills needed to be a generous mentor and counselor."
That interpretation is from the Deluxe Asteroid Report.
Do you have Ceres in the first house? What can you tell us about it?
I have Ceres in the 1st house, in Gemini. I supervise and train people and I've been told that I'm really good at it. Also, people feel comfortable venting to me and turning to me for advice.
I relate to all of this! I have Ceres in the 1st house in Capricorn, which I think might make me seem strict & maybe a little controlling but only because I care a lot about my loved ones! My Cancer Moon probably softens things, too.
