Vesta

Celestial Body

Vesta is the asteroid of devotion, sacred service, and the focused inner flame. Named for the goddess of the hearth, Vesta governs what you hold sacred, where you invest your purest concentration, and the sacrifices you make in service of something greater. In the natal chart, Vesta reveals areas of life where you experience a near-spiritual level of dedication. It also speaks to issues of sexual autonomy, purification rituals, and the balance between devotion to self and devotion to a cause.
