Introduction To Vesta In The Natal Chart

February 22nd, 2012 @ 6:00 am by Satori

“I believe in nothing, everything is sacred. I believe in everything, nothing is sacred.”
–Tom Robbins, Novelist, strong sexual themes, Vesta conjunct Chiron in Gemini

Vesta GlyphThe asteroid Vesta is associated with the mythology of the ancient Vestal Virgins and both Scorpio and Virgo. Prominent Vesta in the natal chart is associated with the importance of sexuality, at both extremes, abstinence and promiscuity. It is not a sexuality devoid of morality but a sexuality charged with a higher dedication. Sex takes on an importance that is sacred in some regard.

Sexual energy channeled elsewhere is a powerhouse. Vesta is not necessarily about sex, though it can be. Vesta in the chart, at its simplest, is where that deep energy is devoted to a higher purpose. In antiquity, Vestal Virgins tended the fire in the temple, and Vesta is associated with the hearth and the constant fire within. Because of this it is most straightforward to look at the Vesta position to note what a person holds sacred, the center of their fiery devotion, the hearth they tend and protect. Vesta shows where you are dedicated.

The sign of Vesta will show the dynamism, the flavor of one’s devotion, while the house position will tend to outline the areas of life in which it is focused. A Cancer Vesta will strongly feature home, mother and feelings. In the fourth house this might be a private, inward devotion, someone who focuses on the homefront, as opposed to the Cancer Vesta in the tenth house who might make a career of these types of things, like a Martha Stewart.

Share your Vesta placement, if you dare! Do you prefer the fiery devotion side of an interpretation or can you see the sexual energy expressed as the sacred?

What orbs do you use for asteroids?

Satori
Satori

that’s a good question. I’m pretty loosy-goosy about absolutes but I tend to go about the same as I would with anything besides the sun and moon (which I give about 8). I usually do about 6. I give a wider orb to the chart ruler, like 8.

quincunxes I limit to 4 degrees.

ok tnx – vesta is conj my mars in the 12th in sadge, which conjuncts my asc but vesta is too far to conj my asc & trine my Jupiter I think. picks up squares to uranus, chiron and pluto.

Thanks for asking that question Jilly. Satori, excellent writing as usual. I am rather disappointed and shocked at where my “Vesta” is! All new territory, knee jerk reaction. 4 degrees CAP 11H. Less than 2 degree orb trine Venus/Pluto 7th H. Time to read some books.

Hmm…12th house Libra

conjunct Jupiter, Venus, and Pluto

So, would a twelvth house Vesta placement be even more private?

I’d say more hidden than private… or more devoted!

vesta and ceres in 7th house taurus,hmm mother my mates maybe, a continual quest to find the perfect man yep, just hope like vesta in mythology I dont have to be stopped from having true love in order to keep the flame a burning, oh just a thought i wonder if that endless search is what keeps me so deeply psychic…. off to check that out ;)

I’d check the aspects it makes to neptune and pluto. that’s an interesting thought!

Ohhh, this is interesting… I have to make dinner, but I’m gonna be back and check this out. I’ve got Vesta in the 7th house (Gemini) sextile my Aries Sun! It’s also in the same house, but out of sign, with Juno (which I’m still trying to figure out as well)… Great stuff Satori!!

I’m loving these asteroid articles; they are so succinct and I feel like I finally “get” what these various lil’ hunks of rocks signify!

Mine’s in Cancer in the 12th (and Cancer is already completely hidden in there anyway as the house is ruled, just by a degree, by Gemini.) I do get that major devotional sense in a sacred way though as to what it pertains – there may be a secret there for me, I’m beginning very recently to think, but for now only the shadow knows…

Satori this is so cool, I know next to nothing about asteroids and I like a lot that you’ve been writing about them.

Um………Cancer/7th House. 24 degrees. So…trine my guy’s and my ex’s Moons in Scorpio. Do I mother my partner? God damn it, yes I do. I have Venus/Mars in 4th as well. ACK! I have been doing my best not to do it with my Leo guy though–and am succeeding. His Mars is conjunct my Vesta, lol.

It’s in my 5th house ,scorpio conjunct pluto only one degree apart.

Does this make it a player in my grand cross?with pluto ,mars ,moon ,jupiter? Hmm…scary

I’m a virgin at 25, but not very devoted to it….I wanna be Samantha(satc), maybe I am devoted to that.

but I have issues about peps, and maybe because of pluto

 
22.
Satori
Satori

that polarization (samantha and virgin) is indicative of a prominent vesta. :) it just shows the issue has fire for you.

(On the edge of the 4th) 6 deg away from my Leo Saturn in the 5th….perplexing. If it’s supposed to be a more private, inward devotion in the 4th, then would the Leo kind of counter that with its’ “proud-ness”, expression and dramatic flair? I def don’t feel like home and family is something I hold sacred or am really devoted to. Its not the lowest thing on my list, but my need for independence and “quest” for spirituality are far more important than starting my own family. Maybe Saturn nearby is this restriction I’m feeling in that area?

haha , yeah def has fire , just don’t know how to get there.

@sam, in my spiritual quest, one thing most self sustaining that i found is in the sayin, “home is where the heart is” which i find is better said for me as, “home is in my heart?” with huge heart of a leo, you will shine simply by being big of heart? just my pondering lol

I was surprised – Vesta in Taurus in the 2nd. I’m not a very Taurus-y person (no other Taurus or earth, for that matter) – nor do I think I’m real 2nd house income-focused…

Vesta is square Pluto, sextile Jupiter, quincunx the Moon.

No idea what to make of this.

I have Vesta in Libra in an already packed 4th house. Pluto at 15 degrees, Vesta at 17 degrees and Venus at 18 degrees. I always knew that intimacy was important to me, but this adds an interesting dimension to my concept of home.

Did dare to go look it up…conjunct my sun in pisces in 7 house…why am I not surprised!!! That explains a lot lol…Have Ceres too there…guess I am going to have to do some reading…

Devotional for as long as I can remember. Mostly homegrown ritual and worship of source.

Vesta conjuncts Ceres in the 6th house opposing 12th house Neptune/Part of Fortune, squaring the nodes–to make a grand cross.

Also trines the Sun.

*Sighs* Every time I read about someone asking about Orbs….. I gotta take a Mental step back ’cause I like to use the Traditional (Classic) methods.

aka: I put Orbs with the planets , not the aspects. (planets apply the orbs , not the aspect)But…. I gotta remember that we’re dealing with allot of people new to astrology on this Blog.

My Vesta is in Scorpio…. along with every other asteroid (What….. is this a gathering for Tea & Crumpets??)

Vesta at 26 pisces in the 6th exact conjuntion to my sun at 26 pisces and tight conjuntion to my moon at 28 pisces. This may be the key to why I often feel connection to sign of scorpio without having 8th house planets and only the generational Neptune in scorpio. All or nothing – tantra is key to ‘all’ for me – otherwise I can be abstinent for long periods…and yes, that energy is directed towards work, with 6th house placement.

Hard to lighten up and cannot leave my ‘station’…

I have Vesta in Cancer in 1st/2nd house. It’s sextile Jupiter Rx,trine Mars,trine Mercury,and trine Sun,Square NN,Square Chiron Rx,Quintile Lilith,Trine Vertex, Sextile Ceres,Square Juno and sesquiquadrate MC

I’m not sure how to interpret this.

I found this though. http://www.carolbarbeau.com/html/vesta.html

Vesta in Cancer is the Earth Mother/Goddess/Priestess energy. This Watery Vesta placement wants to nurture and to bring healing and care to the planet. It is full of warm compassion, unconditional love and healing and often can immerse itself so strongly in another’s pain or suffering that they heal others almost through their own body. Vesta in Cancer has to learn this lifetime to create safety and healing for the self.

http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/Vesta21.4.html

Vesta in the 1st House: Every now and then, you have to get away from everybody and everything in order to recharge. If Vesta is close to the Ascendant, there may have been some blockage at the time of birth.

Vesta in the 2nd House: You have to stop work more often than other people in order to recharge, but this only applies to work where you earn money. You can still do personal tasks around the house. This is different from those who have Vesta in the 6th house because those folks have to stop all work periodically.

Vesta in Pisces, exactly conjunct Chiron, both in the 7th which means it is exactly opposite Uranus in Virgo in the 1st (plus Pluto/Mars stellium with Uranus).

not sure how this plays out.

LOL! Vesta is Conjunct my Ascendent. Less than a orb. In scorpio. lol.

Devoted to my mask? Myself? My sexuality? I dunno…

Neptune in sextile the ascendant and Vesta in capricorn,, on 2nd/3rd house cusp, less than a orb as well, so I consider all of this very powerful. But once again not sure how all this energy could work, but the focas on myself is very much there… I’m obsessive with whatever I’m into at the moment, I identify with what I obsess over, thats the scorpio.

Though I have run into boyfriends who thought I was the sex goddess they had always been dreaming of. My very first boyfriend would not believe I had never been with anyone before and thought I was a lier, because I was so comfortable having fun with him. Needless to say I broke up with him not long afterwards cause he couldn’t trust in what I say. Neptune/Scorpio.

(I bought Tom Robbins Jitterbug Perfume not too long ago but now got the motive again to start it!! Us Gemini’s have a hard time committing anything lol)

Vesta in Taurus in 5th house… Elsa explained that I can be mothering but this makes perfect sense now!! Here I see it as tending to a garden of relationships and I just love all the different colors and combinations that can invariably be made!!!

Rock on Satori!! This is a very cool find indeed!

Exactly conjunct my ascendant in Libra, trining my Sun/Merc. In my wafty long dress and lacy cardi days I was forever being told I looked a priestess from the Tarot!

I’ve been puzzling over the meaning of this particular asteroid for some time, since an astrologer told me it coloured everything in my chart, being on the asc. I’m definitely all or nothing where relationships are concerned, both sexually and in terms of my devotion to it. But it still confounds me.

Vesta in Taurus: takes time to focus, but once they do, they may find it difficult to stop. Good for anything requiring lots of persistence.

Vesta in Aries,12th house opposed Venus exact inconjunct Mercury in 5th. As much as I like sex most of my life I have sacrificed sex for relationships. Now, due to prostate surgery sex is pretty much a moot point. I am doing better without it.

Libra 12th house like my Juno. Again one indication of why I’m subconsciously attracted to secret affairs.. Tr. Saturn is conjunct my Vesta right now and I’m currently in my abstinence phase. Which will at some point be followed by my promiscuous phase, if things go like they always have.

Vesta sextiles my Sun & Uranus, trines Mars and squares Jupiter.

Vesta in Leo 10th, conj. Mars, MC, Jupiter, also shares house/sign with Sun and Pluto. More Leo, I can’t believe it but it makes perfect sense.

Yes, I have been devoted to my work. For me it was more like being called on to take care of a longstanding issue for my people (to repatriate and rebury our dead held in museums and elsewhere & to protect our sacred places).

Square to 1st H Scorpio Saturn and Q 12th H Libra Neptune. This work did produce a great deal of friction and conflict for me and for the people who had to give up our dead. And it is strongly influenced by 12th H, as well as Neptoonian, spiritual ideals.

Taken by Nota’s idea of consulting the Sabian data, here’s what I got for Vesta at 13 deg. Leo: An Old Sea Captain Rocking Himself On the Porch of His Cottage — The quieted mind’s recollections of crises and joys long past.

Which exactly describes my life now. Amazing.

Satori thanks so much for your discussions on the asteroids. They were little known to me, and you have given me another opportunity for discovery and self-understanding with these golden nuggets.

Vesta is in Virgo, conjunct Venus/Pluto. Hot damn, that explains a lot. (Virgin by choice until age 25; I’m much more likely to abstain than be promiscuous.)

It’s in the 6th house, which means I’m devoted to service, but since I’m a Leo/Aries rising, that means the service is on my own terms. That coincides nicely with being a Brownie leader.

Yah!! That resonates on a much closer level with what I’m feeling :-) and when I meditate I usually find myself really focusing on opening my heart chakra to massive proportions. I also have so much Neptune in my chart….a lot of the time I feel like my connectedness with humanity is kind of like a family for me because it’s so hard for me to separate myself from the whole….I don’t know;-)

This series on asteroids has added hugely to my understanding of my own chart, and the other few I’m studying closely. It’s like building a mosaic – the picture gets clearer and clearer but it has to be done in stages!

I see the asteroids as like the essential herbs or spices in a dish – which wouldn’t be that dish without that concentrate of flavour. Eg: paprika in ghoulash – or juniper in gin even!

Vesta conjunct Neptune in Scorpio in the 4th here. Also conjunct my relocated 4th house cusp in the place where most of my childhood (and all of my adulthood) has been. One of my dreams is to move to Vancouver, BC, and live near the water and mountains. My home is my sanctuary, always has been, especially after moving out on my own — maybe an internal response to my father’s having been such a tyrant when I was growing up. His Mars squares my 4th-house Mars and also Sun a bit later in Scorpio.

Thanks Satori; these asteroid posts are like little nuggets of information, not too much all at once but giving lots to mull over. :)

In Leo in 10th house… that sounds intriguing! It sounds like it’s the most “public” placement ever, showy even :D

If I select “Add aspect lines to all” on astro.com, it makes a beautiful aspect pattern, where it forms 3 grand trines, with my personal planet stellium (Sun-Mars-Mercury) and Neptune.

Now I am intrigued!

Satori, these asteroid articles are truely amazing ! I’ve been looking at them for a while, but you truely offer a new insight to them.

My Vesta is in 11th house, Cancer. I haven’t been looking at this throughly, since it’s not as big a player in my chart as Ceres or Juno are. There is, however, an opposition to my Moon and sextile/trine aspect to MC/IC axis. It’s also a major player in the relationship synastry between my SO and I.

This makes sense. I’m very devoted to making groups work well together. This is supported by every psychological test I’ve ever taken. Also, I do tend to end up playing Mother Hen, it happened even when I was working with women who were older than me (some could have mothered me).

But I don’t find the idea of Vesta having to do with sexual energy foreign either.

My Vesta is exactly conjunct my Mercury in Leo in the 11th House, also in sextile to my Jupiter in Gemini and my Midheaven in Cancer.

I think this is meant to say that I am dedicated to developing my mental abilities, my career and my exploration of the physical and spiritual world, and that I can focus on creative communication. I am definitely a bit of an intellectual, as obnoxious as that may sound, and have enjoyed writing since I was a kid.

Other feedback/suggestions welcome :)

21 deg Virgo 8th. Quincunx my 22 deg Venus Aquarius 12th and ASC.

I have stated on another post that I prefer to have sex in a committed relationship, so I guess this seals it. Sex is something I do with someone with whom I feel spiritually connected.

I have been forced to have sex with two then-husbands I was in a committed relationship with, but no longer had a spiritual connection to, which disgusts me.

It also explains this urge I have to have sex outside in the woods (Virgo), surrounded by nature. lol

Vesta in Scorpio, 5th H, conjunct Sag.

Vesta in the 5th House: Romance can be hot and heavy, but then you simply have to take a break. Be sure to explain to your lovers that you have Vesta in the 5th house and that means you have to get away for a while to recharge because otherwise you may get sick. I’m sure they will understand. The 5th house also rules children, sports, games, creativity, gambling, speculation, hobbies, and any activity that is fun. Explain to your spouse that every now and then, THEY have to watch the little darlings because you get too drained. Creative pursuits, sports, and games can also be tolerated for only so long. Then you have to withdraw and recharge. It is the same with hobbies. No matter how much you love them, you have to get away for a while every now and then. As for gambling and speculation, well, don’t become a day-trader.

Hmm… 5th house Capricorn, sextile Jupiter, trine Chiron… And at 13°13′ it’s smack between my Moon at 3°27′ Cappy and my Venus at 24°37′ Cappy (but too far to be considered conjunct either, I think…).

I get the 5th house bit, I think (creativity and such), but I’m not really sure how to interpret that with a Capricorn spin on it. Any ideas?

In particular to what I am going thru in my life right now, really resonated!!

That’s interesting, VirgoLeoRising – my Vesta/Venus exact is in House 5 too and that’s very true of me. I do everything in very concentrated bursts, inc work (or sex!) and then have to withdraw and rest, in isolation preferably.

I’ve read a lot since satori first posted this, and I now understand my attitude to love and sex much more clearly – love as healing, including sexual love, and I feel it almost as a sacred calling. It’s been at my own expense too, almost entirely.

Mine is in the 3rd house in Aries and conjunct to my Sun and opposed to my Pluto. I’m thinking it’s related to independence, action and accomplishments working along with a need or importance in communication. I can definitely relate to that. Not quite sure about the aspects though…

Vests conjunct Sun in Sag. Woohoo. In 8th House.
I have had long periods of complete sexual abstinence by choice. Have good focussing ability, can be very single task oriented for long periods.
Some times the sacred and or devotional side can be so intensly and personally meaningful, it can be tricky to put into words.

My Vesta is 17 Scorpio at the end of my 1st house and it forms an exact trine to Saturn in my 9th house in the sign of Cancer. The sabian symbol for 17 Scorpio is “A woman, filled with her own spirit, is the father of her own child.” I’m very devoted to self-care!

Just learning about Vesta. Mine is Virgo in the 8th house. Of course it is! That combimation seems to rule my life. I guess I need to change my lucky number from 3 to 8. Whatever!
