Ceres in Virgo, Ceres in the 9th House

Ceres in Virgo

Ceres in Virgo is very detail oriented and focused on perfectionism. The Ceres Virgo wants to provide for others by being practical and on time. They want to provide all the essentials for their partner and make sure their needs are being met. Sometimes they can struggle on the emotional end and verbally giving their love and affection. However, if you can find a way to praise them for their efforts, they will feel the love. The Ceres in Virgo needs nurtured just as much as any other type, but they won’t admit it. No, the Virgo Ceres is a hard worker and knows when to keep their head down and just go to work. The Virgo Ceres needs to realize that while they provide very useful and helpful constructive criticism, they can go a bit too far and cause the other side to lose confidence. If they could find a way to be more tactful with their words, it can go a long way toward building confidence in the others around them.
