Full Moon Square Ceres

The January 31 lunar eclipse at 11°37′ Leo was conjunct minor planet Ceres. Because of retrograde motion, Ceres is now at 10°16′ Leo conjunct the North Node of the Moon.

The January 31 lunar eclipse and the April 29 full moon focus attention on single mothers and working mothers. Sole parent fathers are included with Ceres because they play the role of nurturer. Social discussions and political debate will include parenting styles, custody rights, maternity leave, childcare and equal pay. While full moon April 2018 offers stability and security for families and relationships, it also represents more struggles for some women and single parents.
