Positions
Vesta in Sagittarius
With Vesta in Sagittarius, the sacred flame burns for truth, belief, and the larger journey: you dedicate yourself to a philosophy, a faith, teaching, or the lifelong search for meaning. Focus here is visionary and far-reaching, devoted to something bigger than the day. The gift is an inspiring, principled dedication that lifts others toward the horizon. The shadow is a flame that preaches, or restlessness that abandons the work for the next vista. The growth is staying devoted through the unglamorous middle. At your best you give yourself wholly to a truth worth living for.
Lean in — Stay devoted to the quest through its unglamorous stretches.
Watch for — Abandon the work each time a brighter horizon appears.
