Vesta: The Eternal Flame of Futility
The Meaning of Vesta
In Roman mythology, Vesta was the goddess of the hearth, home, and sacred flame. In astrology, Vesta represents:
- Dedication to a cause
- Sacred sexuality
- Focus and concentration
- Spiritual devotion
- The preservation of sacred traditions
"Your devotion burns eternally, like a flame in an airless void, consuming itself for no purpose other than to witness its own extinction."
