This Taurus Ingress chart for Washington, D.C. is very auspicious. It occurs just after Midnight in
Washington, has the Galactic Center rising, Chiron exactly entering Pisces, and Ceres coming into
contact with her old enemy, Pluto. I have a lot to talk about this chart.
Ceres is the Roman name for the Greek goddess, Demeter, who was in royal battle with Pluto who
was the Greek, Hades! Got that? Anyway, here's their story:
The story of Demeter and Persephone is supposed to be the mythological explanation of the
changing seasons. In the story, Demeter was the goddess of agriculture. Her daughter Persephone
was walking outside one day when the Earth opened up and she ended up in the Underworld. Hades
made her stay with him. Demeter was devastated and fell into a sad slump. When this happened,
the plants died, birds stopped singing, and everything became cold. Finally, the leader of the Gods,
Zeus, could not put up with this, and sent Hermes, the messenger of the gods, to get Persephone.
Before she left, Hades tricked her into eating six pomegranate seeds. Because of this, for half of
every year, Persephone would have to return to him. In this time, we had autumn winter. But when
she returned to Demeter, everything was beautiful, thus we had spring and summer.

Well, that's so clinical; I prefer this one:
As the story goes ....
Zeus had three sisters. Hera, his wife and sister, was the goddess of marriage and the queen of all the
gods. Hestia, another of his sisters, was a much loved goddess by the woman of Greece - Hestia was
the goddess of home and hearth.
His third sister, Demeter, was in charge of the harvest. All the gods jobs were important. Demeter's
job was very important. If she was upset, the crops could die. Everyone, gods and mortals, worked
hard to keep Demeter happy. What made her happy was enjoying the company of her daughter,
Persephone.
Persephone had grown into a beautiful young woman, with a smile for everyone. One day, while
picking flowers in the fields, Hades, her uncle, the god of the underworld, noticed her. Hades was
normally a gloomy fellow. But Persephone’s beauty had dazzled him. He fell in love instantly. Quickly,
before anyone could interfere, he kidnapped Persephone and hurled his chariot down into the darkest
depths of the underworld, taking Persephone with him.
Locked in a room in the Hall of Hades, Persephone cried and cried. She refused to speak to Hades.
And she refused to eat. Legend said if you ate anything in Hades, you could never leave. She did not
know if the legend was true, but she did not want to risk it in case someone came to rescue her.
Nearly a week went by. Finally, unable to bear her hunger, Persephone ate six pomegranate seeds. It
seemed her fate was sealed. She would have to live in the Underworld forever.
Meanwhile, back on earth, Zeus was worried about the crops. The people would die if the crops failed.
If that happened, who would worship Zeus? He had to do something. Zeus did what he often did. He
sent Hermes, his youngest son, the messenger, to crack a deal, this time with Hades.
Even as a baby, Hermes was great at making deals. Everyone knew that. But this deal might be the
challenge of his life. His uncle Hades, king of the underworld, was really in love. This was no passing
fancy.
When Hermes heard that Persephone had eaten six pomegranate seeds, he had to think quickly. The
deal he made with Hades was that if Persephone would marry Hades, she would live as queen of the
underworld for six months out of the year. However, each spring, Persephone would return and live on
earth for the other six months of the year. Hades agreed. Zeus agreed. Persephone agreed. And
finally, Demeter agreed.
Each spring, Demeter makes sure all the flowers bloom in welcome when her daughter, Queen of the
Underworld, returns to her. Each fall, when Persephone returns to Hades, Demeter cries, and lets all
the crops die until spring, when the cycle starts again. (And they all lived happily after!)

The explanation of the Galactic Center I'll leave to Philip Sedgwick; he knows so much about it, I'd
swear he was from there. Look under his menu, Galactic anomalies.
As far as Sun sextile Chiron; it's usually no big deal, but at 0º 00', it's a really big deal. Sextiles reveal
opportunities, Chiron represents healing, the Sun shines as Spirit, and Pisces/Taurus knows how to
heal and preserve. Get the hint? We've got an opportunity to heal body, mind, and Spirit here and
NOW; the whole country and maybe the whole world! The Galactic Center is opening to Washington
at the same time all this other stuff is going on. Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find;
knock and the door shall be opened. Expect a miracle! God bless America.
