Goddess Asteroids/ Vesta

[Litha]

Vesta. In Greek mythology, Vesta was the goddess of the hearth. Astrologically, Vesta symbolizes the family and the home; that to which we are devoted and commited; Vesta is our focus, our inner center, where we feel safe. In the Greek era, Vesta celebrated sexuality as a divine channeling of lunar energy. Since Roman times, the Vestal virgins have been associated with sexual purity and so Vesta has also become associated with alienation, inhibitions and sexual awkwardness. Vesta is the transmutation of sexual energy into focused creative ability.
