VENUS enters LEO June 5, late PDT/June 6 EDT. Venus trines Retrogade SATURN and trines Asteroid VESTA at zero degrees of Aries. The two planets and the asteroid form a Grand Fire Trine at zero degrees which lasts till June 7 Initiating us into the Divine Feminine wisdom, uniting hearts, dedication, passion and serious commitments.
This is a unique opportunity: VESTA is the Roman Goddess of the hearth, home and fire. She represents focus, determination, care, keeping the home fires burning. All fires symbolize the spirit and kundalini energy.
Vesta was a very important ancient Roman Goddess who symbolizes the alpha and omega the beginning and the end the source {Fire/ Spirit} from which all emerges and to which all must return. Her name was given to the fourth asteroid discovered in 1807. Vesta’s symbol is the sacred flame. Her name is familiar to us today through the words investment, investigate, investiture, invested.
Vesta was a greatly revered Roman Goddess. Her round roofed Temple was a foundation of Rome from before antiquity. She was worshipped as the sacred hearth fire itself, the spark of life, which was necessary for life to be sustained and formed the basis of all hearths in each and every home. Vesta rules all sacred spaces, a sweatlodge, or your meditation space where you focus within.
The original Vestal Virgins were not chaste at all. Her origins are extremely ancient. Virgin originally meant a woman who is whole and complete and answers to no one but her Goddess and is owned by no man. The original Vestales were sacred sexual priestesses who controlled, focused and used sacred tantric sexuality as a way to unite the sacred fire of orgasm with the earthly human realm. They embodied the Goddess and brought Her energy through to give to men to keep the sacred alive as a Holy sacrament. Kundalini energy is the original sacred flame. The priesteses were able to conserve their sexual energy and to use it for spiritual ecstacy and to give birth parthenogenicaly.
The Vestal Virgins who were chaste was a later corrupt Patriarchal interpretation. The famed Vestal Virgins who served in her temples were women were were chosen from a young age to keep the sacred flame always alight. The Vestales swore thirty year vows of chastity. The penalty for breaking the vows was death by being buried alive or having to swallow molten lead. This was a dire warning to keep the women from going back to their origins. Vestal Virgins were of high class, educated, independent and respected.
Vesta symbolizes sexuality through celibacy or through sacred celebration of sex. She rules commitment, dedication and sacrifice to a common goal. She is relenting in her purpose. Virgo is the sign associated with Vesta.

Interestingly, Vesta’s annual celebration, the Vestalia took place over 8 days from June 7- June 15 and was a time when the inner sanctum was opened to all women to visit the temple and make offerings to the Goddess.
A special sacred cake was baked from spelt flour and water from a sacred spring carried in consecrated jugs. The water was never permitted to come into contact with the earth between the spring and the cake, which also included sacred salt and ritually prepared brine as ingredients. The hard baked cakes were cut into slices and offered to Vesta in all public ceremonies.
At the end of the Vestalia, the Temple was thoroughly cleaned, swept of all debris which was carried away to be disposed in the Tiber River. On the last day of Vestalia Ovid says, June 15th became a holiday for bakers and all who worked with grain who hung flower garlands and small loves of bread.
As the synchronicity is so exact. Do a modern ritual to honor Vesta and bake a special cake which you offer to the Goddess who also lives with in you. As you are alive you are the keeper of your own sacred spark. This offering brings you blessings of new commitments in the physical realm. Keep the hard cake as a reminder of the goal.
