Aspects
Pluto Conjunction Vesta
Your capacity for devotion runs deep and absolute, fused with power, intensity, and transformation, so what you dedicate yourself to tends to consume you and change you to the root. You can focus with a force that excludes everything else, give yourself wholly to a sacred work or cause, and you carry a charged relationship to sexuality as a kind of sacred fire, sometimes withheld, sometimes wielded as power. The shadow is obsession, self-denial taken to extremes, or using dedication to control. At its best this is consecrated, regenerating focus that transforms whatever it touches. The work is balance: serve with everything, but do not let the flame burn up the rest of your life.
Lean in — Give yourself fully, but do not let the flame consume your whole life.
Watch for — Turn devotion into obsession or self-denial.
