Vesta is an asteroid named after the Greek Goddess, Hestia, linked to the home and fire.
One of the major asteroids in the birth chart, Vesta in astrology is key to establishing a balance between your ambitions and deep desires. Vesta represents your commitment to yourself outside of the responsibilities you have at home and reveals the fire that truly ignites your soul even in the most difficult times.
