Vesta
Vesta, goddess of the hearth and its undying fire, is read as the principle of focused devotion: the capacity to dedicate yourself wholly to a calling, to keep a sacred flame, and to concentrate with single-pointed intensity. It governs commitment to work or the sacred, the integration of sexuality and the sacred, and the cost of self-denial when devotion narrows into isolation. Read Vesta by house and aspect to find where you are called to focused, dedicated service.
Lean in — Give your Vesta house the focused devotion it asks for.
Watch for — Let Vesta's dedication harden into isolation or burnout.
