11. Vesta Aspects - Purification.
Vesta-Juno. Purification and relationship commitment. A serious effort will be made to develop a good marriage and to ensure home is a happy place. But hard aspects indicate that possessiveness and jealousy may ruin relationships. If so, dedicating oneself to a program to develop good relationship skills and to understand that one is worthy of love, is required. A career could be made in marriage and relationship counselling.
Vesta-Ceres. Purification and self-acceptance unite. A concerted effort will be made to nurture and care for those we are responsible for. But hard aspects indicate that self-esteem was harmed while growing up. Perhaps home life was very efficient, spartan, there were rules to follow and high expectations, a lack of emotional support and nurturing. A program dedicated to the development of self-love and acceptance is required. Once healed, these skills can be used to help others similarly affected.
Vesta-Pallas. Purification and mental-creativity unite. This combination gives the ability to dedicate oneself with one-pointed focus to a cause, a career or to anything else in life that needs an intelligent, concentrated approach. It will help women excel in male-dominated areas. The downside is a too narrow approach based upon rigid beliefs, or being unable to put the brakes on from a hectic life so that burn-out occurs. In such cases, time should be taken out of the mainstream to reconnect with nature and the Divine, for healing and regeneration.
Vesta-Chiron. Purification and healing-wisdom unite. If emotional wounds were suffered during childhood due to neglect because parents were too busy with their own concerns, or they had ideas and beliefs that were rigid and damaging to self-esteem; these need healing. A dedicated therapy program designed to get rid of negative beliefs such as “I'm a failure” or “I'm not good enough,” should be undertaken. This will help expand understanding and give clarity about one's life purpose. This combination gives the potential to be a healer with a mission to help and save.
Vesta-Nodes. Purification and spiritual-progression unite. This combination indicates that dedication to a higher calling or important spiritual goal is required. So is applying any and all necessary disciplines in order to be successful in these endeavours. But hard aspects and Vesta conjunct the south-node, these indicate that something negative in the character or from the past is binding the soul. Purification of the emotions is required and discipline to cut away any unhealthy life-links.
Vesta-ASC. Purification and new beginnings unite. The soul's plan is to live a pure and simple life and to be dedicated to a higher, worthy mission. This approach is necessary if important life and spiritual goals are to be reached. Hard aspects indicate a lack of balance, perhaps being unnecessarily austere in one's approach to life, or pursuing other missions that are at odds with one's true heart desire. If so, a readjustment is required.
Vesta-MC. Purification and higher-goals unite. This statement is similar to the previous one involving the ascendant, because both suggest dedication and discipline should be applied to achieve important life goals. The difference between the two goals, is that the ascendant goals are linked to self-development, while the MC goals are linked to career achievements. However, the latter could also be part of the soul's plan. Hard aspects indicate other interests could sabotage the desired achievement.
