Positions
Vesta in Gemini
With Vesta in Gemini, the sacred flame burns for ideas, words, and learning: you dedicate yourself to understanding, teaching, writing, and connecting information. Focus here is mental and articulate, able to concentrate deeply on a subject and make it clear to others. The gift is a devoted, lifelong learner's mind. The shadow is a focus that fragments across too many interests. The growth is committing to one thread long enough to master it. At your best you give yourself wholly to knowing and sharing the truth.
Lean in — Commit to one subject deeply enough to master it.
Watch for — Scatter your focus across too many half-learned things.
