2nd in a series of articles about bodies in the Asteroid belt, considered minor, but representing ideas important to personal fulfillment including:

Vesta is, like Juno, a minor body in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Vesta was a goddess who ruled over the sacred hearth fire, the center of the Roman home. She was the protector of the home. Her priestesses were ritual virgins who gave up their procreative rights for a standing within society that was beyond what they would conventionally have, but a place won through service.
Here in lies the key to the meaning of this so-called minor body. Vesta rules over how we can gain personal fulfillment, and indeed personal power, by setting aside our personal ambitions in favor of bigger humanitarian and social goals. More-over she rules over how we may gain from giving.
A Well-balanced Juno is a great thing indeed. It does not sacrifice who we are but rather allows us to overcome our personal tribulations through service.
She allows us to transcend our subjective struggles, but in doing so overcome them. Vesta represents, in many ways, one of the great foundations of a happy life. For just as the Buddha we may find ourselves with everything and realize it is worth nothing. It is our connection to others that we will remember in the end and celebrate most.
Vesta was discussed in the third vlog here:http://rebelastrology.blogspot.com/2011/05/3-new-video-blogs-about-expansion.html
