What is at the heart of temples? Why the holy of holies and the red forest lilies….

Sky tells stories and Vesta’s tale is always at the heart of it; our passions and devotion at the heart of home, as per the ancient goddess of the hearth. We tend to the home fires as old ladies lighting candles in church, in the holy space or heartmind.

Vesta, the second largest asteroid discovered in 1807 and more than 100 years before Pluto, is goddess who tends the sacred flame. SHE reveals your inner light, focus and sacred devotion. Vesta is chaste, calm and introspective, quantum Keeper of the Sacred Flame; a Light Bringer.

“Vesta brings the concept of our own inner hearth fire and our capacity for healing and wholeness and being complete in ourselves,” write astrologers Tamsin St. George and Lorraine Grayston.

Vesta is currently stationing direct; officially 9FEB24 @21GEMINI44’ – retrograde for 99 days since 7CANCER30’ 3NOV23 when Vesta directly opposed fixed star FACIES, the sights of the Sagittarian Archer, as in the missiles, drones and rockets almost a month into the chaos of Palestine and Israel, like a sacred face-off with the mundane, gods and humans warring.

The closer we get to the stars, the closer they come to us, sometimes a gentle reminder and sometimes, like now, a bit more of a forced nudge like forced agendas, mass killing, black-outs…

Vesta’s midnight star or ‘revelation’ moment was at solstice 21DEC23 @29GEM38’ (on my Venus Star Point / VSP that I share with so many born at the tail of the 60’s – whose Mars Star happens to be zero Cancer……cosmic Venus with a new voice and cosmic Mars with the essential oil of chief water Cancer and Mars being the peacemaker as much as the war-maker in the new family, zero Cancer).

Personally, I have become intensely aware of Vesta wanting to rebuild my body temple, my compression wave harmonics and inner waters through this time. The challenges in the outer world seem much bigger than us, while also somehow being held in our own hands.

Vesta has retraced her pathway all the way back to El Nath, the tip of the Taurus Sky Bull’s horn. Beta Taurus is a weapon / point of attack for the force of the Bull; yes, a terrible weapon to seed anxiety, hatred, cruelty and destruction. Or the force of our living EARTH; her blood of life and living waters that creates our life force of love, joy and happiness.

Many are striving for peace in this time of war and yearning to make sense of the many struggles humans have in keeping life sacred. Vesta is with us at this critical time, asking us to each rebuild our waterbody temples with her in mind; from unconscious blindspots lying and unseen that need focus, to the Bull’s point of attack weapons, like a sharp tongue either curbed or used, Vesta’s sacred flame needs kindling.

So soft is the inner light and radiance as we allow the sacred hearth of self to be honoured. This is your inner temple for the goddess of your home fire and belonging. More than the split of Adamic free will emphasised here in Gemini, the heartmind is reminded of stillpoint timelessness. We remember ourselves as ecological, impulsed and pulsing, practicing peace in our own living temples first.
