Madonna’s bid to adopt a little girl from Malawi was just denied – poor Mercy James, the 5th Beatle of the Madonna Family. Ceres, the asteroid that rules nurturing and motherhood is currently retrograde and conjunct Madonna’s Natal Pluto in the 12th house.

The 12th house rules our dreams and inner-most motivating desires, as well as endings and letting go. Pluto represents control issues. The fact that transitting Ceres is hitting this point today, indicates the loss of some type of dream concerning motherhood.

Ceres will be passing over this point again in May. After Ceres passes Madonna’s ascendant later this Spring, there may be a second chance for Madonna to adopt, or to somehow reinvent her approach to motherhood and start a new cycle, especially in June when Ceres conjuncts her Natal Ceres / Moon conjunction. No matter what else, motherhood is fundamental to her identity, and she probably does make quite a caring mother behind the scenes.
