When Vesta aspects Venus or Juno, a woman may feel unable to love or relate meaningfully, adopting a false veneer of independence, claiming she doesn't need men while inwardly longing for a relationship. When Vesta contacts the Sun or Mars, a potential partner may be seen as brutal, tyrannical, demanding or manipulating. A stressful aspect may indicate someone who fears commitment.

Transits to Vesta signify those times when we need to retreat from the outer world to purify, replenish and reintegrate ourselves. These withdrawals often follow times when we have depleted our resources due to excessive involvement with people or events. This explains why Vesta transits point to relationship separations. When stressfully aspected in a chart, the personality may be unable to integrate itself, and remains depleted of energy. Infertility, barrenness or sterility are another response.

When transiting Vesta aspects a planet, it focuses the native's attention upon the issues that planet represents. A strong Vesta symbolizes a person who is centered in her own identity, and self determined in her activities. Vesta suggests the sacrifices one must make in order to follow a self-directed path. (Home, family, children, relationships, etc) One must be careful not to become a martyr. Vesta symbolizes the type of severe alienation that occurs when an individual becomes too absorbed in her personal quest.

LOVE OF WORK, LOVE OF PEACE

Albert Einstein was a ripe example of Vesta incarnate. Modest and mild-mannered, he had Vesta conjunct the Ascendant in Cancer. He was a man totally consumed by his work. As early as age 12, he had committed himself to decoding the mystery of the universe. The object of his obsessive focus was physics, the scientific version of universal law. Theorizing on the nature of ultimate reality gave meaningful expression to his Pisces-Sag nature.

Einstein was profoundly committed to pacifism and worked with characteristic devotion on behalf of world peace. Vesta's instinct to provide refuge and shelter motivated him to support Zionism, which guaranteed a homeland in Israel to the Jewish people.

Vesta in Leo people work best when allowed a creative free rein in their efforts. The capacity to have pride in one's work focuses the lens of aesthetic output.
