Positions
Vesta in Aries
With Vesta in Aries, the sacred flame burns for action and independence: you dedicate yourself to causes you can lead, to pioneering work, and to the thing only you will start. Focus here is fierce and self-igniting, happiest when you are not waiting on anyone. The gift is the drive to commit fully and begin. The shadow is burning out, or a devotion so solitary it isolates. The growth is sustaining the flame past the first sprint. At your best you give yourself wholly to something worth being first for.
Lean in — Commit fully to one cause and pace the flame so it lasts.
Watch for — Burn yourself out by starting more than you can tend.
