Moon Ceres natives Hard Aspects

Moon Opposite Ceres

Michael Jackson was groomed from a very young age by his father to be a star. Of course he is a perfect example of a child engulfed to the point that it arrested his development as a man.

Moon Square Ceres

Linda Lovelace is a good example of both sides of the square. A career in pornography could be seen as large-scale loving I guess, only for Linda it was actually something she felt she was forced into by her sadistic first husband, a Pluto/Persephone relationship if ever there was one.

Ceres can function as the innocent pre-rape Persephone. Linda’s childhood also carries the Virgin/Whore signature, at Catholic School she was nicknamed ‘Miss Holy Holy’ because she would only let boys go so far. As a single mother aged 20 Linda’s mother forced her daughter to give up her son for adoption, telling her it was only foster care. So we get the Ceres child abduction theme here too.

Linda was the perfect innocent Persephone until she meet her manager/pimp/Pluto husband. He was responsible for her starring in and performing “Deep Throat” in the hardcore pornographic film of the same name. Linda was literally smothered! However her stardom started to outshine her abusive husbands power and she was able to break free of his control. Linda later campaigned against pornography, speaking to feminist groups and at college campus’s.
