Earth Mama dwarf planet Ceres is currently in late Aries in tight conjunction to stationing Uranus and in loose square to Pluto in Capricorn. In other words, the Goddess of grains, agriculture, and the fertility of the Earth is triggering the Uranus-Pluto square.
Ceres moved retrograde into late Aries in mid-October, and it stationed direct, tightly conjunct Uranus, on December 8, 2016.
Ceres and Uranus are still in that tight conjunction as Uranus now prepares to station direct at 20 degrees Aries on December 28.
This is an indicator that food, agriculture, and nourishment themes - especially those that are new in human history - are being electrified and shaken up. This is also an indicator that an immediate and perhaps radical change in course may be required in these areas, and it likely needs to be self-directed.
Ceres in Aries in general indicates a battle (Aries) regarding our
nourishment (Ceres) that may also involve human rights and genetics.
Uranus is an indicator of technology, including biotechnology, and the insidious introduction of genetically modified (GM) foods into the general food supply is one area being lit up by this Ceres-Uranus conjunction.
The results of yet another animal feeding trial were recently released (under this Ceres-Uranus conjunction) that indicate health damage in lab rats fed a diet of GM Bt corn. This is corn that has been genetically modified to have insecticide built right into the plants, and it is grown widely in Canada and the United States.
The Egyptian study showed that after only 90 days, the intestines of the lab rats were damaged by diets of this corn:
"In the GM-fed rats, some areas of the villi – finger-like structures in
the intestine that absorb nutrients from food – were damaged. They were
distorted and flattened, with some cells joined together. The damage can
clearly be seen in the images included in the study. The crypts
(mucosal glands) were disrupted and blood vessels were congested. Signs
of inflammation – white blood cell infiltration – were seen around areas
of damage. In addition, the cells of the intestinal lining were
abnormal in structure.
Other signs of damage included increased
shedding of mucosal cells, increased numbers of mucous-secreting goblet
cells, and higher rates of division of cells lining the crypts."

This was the third Egyptian feeding trial study that showed health damage in rats fed GM Bt corn. The first study showed changes in organs, blood biochemistry, and body weights. The second study showed toxic effects on the liver and kidneys, as well as damage to the intestines.
