Astrologer Haley Delgado explains that Vesta is the fourth major asteroid in the solar system and is named after the Roman goddess. In a birth chart, Vesta is associated with what you deem sacred. Depending on the person, Vesta may represent independence, security, or committment. If you're feeling lost, depressed, or uninspired, Vesta keeps your spirit alive. Someone with good Vesta aspects will be very committed to relationships, their kids, or their purpose.
Vesta is associated with the Vestal Virgins. We can essentially think of the Vestal Virgins as librarians who were focused on maintaining and sharing knowledge and keeping the Vestal flame burning – which is that focus on sharing knowledge and information. And so I see this come up a lot in the charts of people who are meant to teach and lead in a more traditional way through information sharing.
