Vesta ~ The Sacred Flame

the eternal flame of spirit, of source
mary's eternal flame, the heart on fire, the heart chakra
we can see vesta from earth with the naked eye
combination of fire and earth
glyph is flame and hearth
the virgo earth energy, the human body
the eternal flame, the sacred flame in the container of the body
powerful combination
physical, grounded human body connected to the eternal spirit of source, through the archetype of the divine feminine
the home, the hearth, the fireplace
the heart of the home
provides a place of safety, of warmth, of nutrition. it is where we gather, we cook and eat, keep ourselves warm
what we are meant to feel and see within ourselves
a sacred energy of nuture
sister, sisterhood
relating to others in a nuturing, supportive, kind manner
she is grounded, practical

for me, vesta is in the earth sign of taurus, in my 10th house. my 10th house is ruled by Mars (aries). taurus is intercepted. so this is not something i was born knowing how to do. but is something i deeply desire to understand in this lifetime. 

vesta is a giver, a servant. associated with nuns and virgins. but that does not mean she is without sexuality. she is about sharing energies. and about discernment. who you share your sacred flame with, who you share your sacred fire with, your energy and your time. your body. your spirit. creation energy. chaos, the womb. the woman as a container, pool of creation. the private space within, the private internal sanctuary. for me, this is in the most visible place in the chart. how do i use my energy towards my passions to be of service to others and contribute to the bigger picture. how can i use my spark and my flame to light the world on fire and light others up?

vesta is desire and dedication. vesta wants to be seen and felt. vesta wants to warm the hearts of others, to improve their lives. contribution to the greater good and to the world. in taurus, she wants to take care of mother earth, gaia, and protect her. create beauty, return the natural beauty of gaia, spread it to others, spread it to the future, preserve it and protect it for the future. this will give me the self worth i desire. show others what is worth keeping and protecting in their lives as well. we can turn things around. we are not out of time. we are here at this time and we are perfectly in step with time, but make no mistake, the time is now.
