As guardians of the sacred flame from which any hearth fire could be replaced, the Vestal Virgins dedicated their lives to serving the temple. Aspects to Vesta are often present when individuals choose to be celibate (or their partner's choose), or sexual blockages to pleasure exist. Vesta seems to represent commitment, concentration, focus, sometimes tunnel vision. Vesta seems to show the Virgo urge to do something worth doing--and to do it well. She can be a key to the workaholic, critical, and alienated. Vesta may be a key to great success (but sometimes at the price of cutting one's self off from the full human experience). Skill with details is likely. Craftsmanship, devotion to work, service, discipline, sublimation, solitude, self-reliance and organization skills are common. Both work and health issues are prominently featured with Vesta. She can indicate great physical challenges and tremendous healing potential. When people are very frustrated by their work, or their work does not satisfy the Virgo need to do something well, illness may be an unconscious way to escape without feeling guilty.

A small sample of children with psychokinetic abilities ("spoon-bending" and the like) seems to correlate with a strong/prominent Vesta.

Several of our best psychotherapists have had Vesta Sun conjunctions: Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, and Fritz Perls. An excellent psychic surgeon in the Phillipines has Vesta conjunct Sun. Katherine Kuhlman, the famous American spiritual healer, had Vesta conjunct Sun.

Several clients with major health problems (two congenital) have Vesta right on an angle of their horoscopes.

One woman with Vesta exactly conjunct the Descendant had a good sexual relationship with her husband before they were married and became totally uninterested once they were married.

The "tunnel vision" potential of Vesta can be quite deadly if it is carried to an extreme. Jim Jones and Jeffrey Dahmer had Vesta conjunct Saturn, while Adolph Hitler and Oliver North have Vesta conjunct Mars.

In current patterns, a strong Vesta focus is most commonly centered around work or health. Vesta seems to have a strong connection with Virgo with perhaps overtones of Scorpio or Capricorn for the tremendous obsessive-compulsive potential.
