Aspects
Moon Conjunction Vesta
Your emotional life and your need to devote yourself are fused, so you feel safest with a sacred focus to keep, a hearth to tend. Caring for the work, the practice, or the people you have consecrated yourself to is how you settle yourself; an unfocused, undedicated life leaves you restless and oddly homeless inside. There can be a vestal quality to your feelings, a self-containment that does not always need another person to feel whole. The shadow is emotional withholding, or pouring all your nurture into a cause while your own softer needs go unmet. Keep the inner fire, but let yourself be warmed by it too, not only its keeper.
Lean in — Give your feelings a hearth to tend, and let yourself be tended too.
Watch for — Pour all your care into the cause while your own needs starve.
