Info for anyone who is confused, for reference

from The Asteroid Report by Viniita Hutchinson, which I think basically sums it up; I put the asteroids in bold

quote:
Juno (whose Greek name is Hera) is an ancient Queen of Heaven Goddess dating from that matriarchal period when the sovereign Deity was female and reigned alone, presiding over the mysteries of birth, motherhood, and the various phases of reproduction. Mythology relates how she was seduced by Zeus, married him out of a sense of honor, endured a marriage characterized by power struggles over issues of fidelity and bearing a line of descent, as well as how she went into retreat occasionally in order to renew and center herself. Her myth parallels the history of social upheaval in the lands where she was worshipped. Northern invaders struggled to impose traditions of patrilineal descent and the worship of their chief god, Zeus, upon the indigenous matriarchal cultures of Mycenaean Greece and Crete. Over a period of hundreds of years of cultural conflict, the two divinities were forced to share the altar. Thus, in addition to her authority over matters pertaining to childbirth and motherhood, Juno has come to be associated with issues of socially acknowledged relationship, legal marriage, marital fulfillment through commitment and fidelity, and the struggle for equality within a relationship. She represents, also, the kind of power struggles that involve controlling the partner through control over offspring, or through the withholding of sex or emotional intimacy. Juno can also represent committed relationships entered into out of a sense of duty, guilt, or for social reasons.
Juno represents both the need for relationship and the refusal to accept inequality within the context of a relationship. She represents the struggle to balance the need for intimacy with the opposing need for freedom - needs which both partners have, although one of these needs may be projected onto the partner. She can also represent the need to take marriage as a sacred trust, a way that leads to spiritual fulfillment through the reconciliation of the opposites in a state of union.
On another level, Juno can represent the way in which one feels rendered powerless by conflict in spite of sincere effort and irreproachable conduct on one's own part. The harder one tries, the more inadequate one's efforts seem to be, for there is a tendency to cling to old methods when circumstances have changed and a whole new paradigm is needed before the way clear can be seen. This frustration can sometimes lead to self-depreciation and loss of faith in oneself. Juno thus symbolizes the transition state between old and new ways of being, where the old fails to meet the needs of the times and the new is not yet manifest. She describes the need for a kind of spiritual self-rejuvenation that is needed in order to see oneself through times of utter disintegration into the future that awaits. Juno in the horoscope thus represents the ways in which we need to renew ourselves, and where our ability to adjust to changing circumstances is most tested.
Since marriage proved to be this goddess' testing ground, Juno in the horoscope also indicates the qualities associated with one's marriage partner and the ways in which one handles intimacy/freedom needs as well as the jealousy and insecurity that often accompany this balancing act. Juno's position describes the nature of any control issues, the ways in which such power struggles get enacted, and the type of sacred cows that need to be relinquished so that the path to marital fulfillment can unfold. Juno's placement in your chart can refer not only to your mate (or the way that you perceive your mate), but to the relationship and to your own behavior in a committed relationship as well.

And info on the others:

quote:
The astronomical body, Chiron (once thought to be a comet or asteroid, now considered a "planetoid" or small planet-like body) is named after the ancient Greek, centaur demi-god who was horse from the waist down and human from the waist up. Chiron's orbit, unlike that of the asteroids, lies between Saturn and Uranus, and is irregular in that it occasionally crosses inside the orbit of Saturn. This astronomical characteristic is symbolic of Chiron's reputation for being somewhat of a maverick.
Chiron was no ordinary run-of-the-mill centaur at the mercy of instincts and appetites. He displayed such self-mastery and was so wise and gifted in both the arts of healing and the arts of war and statesmanship, that he found himself mentor to hero's and kings and their sons. His service was of such value that he was granted immortality by the gods. Chance would have it that he was accidentally wounded in the foot by one of his own poisoned arrows, carelessly tossed by one of his fosterlings (Heracles). Since by this time he was immortal, the result of this mishap was that Chiron was condemned by fate to suffer eternally the agonies of a poisoned wound that could not be healed. In order to obtain release from his endless suffering, the wise old centaur decided to relinquish the mantle of immortality that had been bestowed upon him. He gave it, instead, to Prometheus (who needed it to be freed from the punishment he suffered for mocking the gods and stealing their fire). In this way, Chiron embraced death and found release from his suffering.
Astrologically, Chiron's placement in the horoscope indicates one's experience of the wound that does not heal, (or the wound that does not seem to heal, because although an important lesson may be learned through dealing with it, the wound seems to spiral around with another lesson on a deeper level). Chiron represents one's experience of woundedness and the nature of the wound. Second, by coming to terms with suffering through an acceptance of one's mortality, one arrives at a greater state of wholeness or healing. Third, Chiron shows how one comes into one's own as an elder or mentor who can provide healing and guidance to others. Thus Chiron also astrologically indicates the ways and means with which you can guide others, as well as the kind of mentoring and healing you seek for yourself.

quote:
Ceres is the expression of the Earth Goddess archetype that has been worshipped in many forms by various cultures. This archetype has always been associated with mother earth, harvests, a transformational journey to and from the underworld, rites of passage, and the birth or resurrection of a fertility deity.
The myth of Demeter (da mater or "earth mother") and the sudden abduction of her dearly loved daughter Persephone by the lord of the underworld contains the same universal symbolism as other Earth Goddess myths. These myths may appear, at first, to be early explanations for the changing of the seasons. They are actually wise, rich, symbolic teachings on such profound themes as loss and renewal, death and rebirth, and the endless transformation that constitutes the very laws of creation to which this universe and everything in it adheres.
On a more personal level, the Ceres myth deals with the severance of the bonds of love and/or attachment. When we experience love as we have known it being taken from us, we can feel as if we have been cast into a realm of eternal darkness, never to return to the world of the living again. We may then be unable to let go of the past, reliving it again and again in our minds - protesting and resisting the present, and demanding that it somehow hand over to us the treasure that has been snatched away.
Yet as with Demeter, who chose to forgo her divinity and wander in the world of humans, after which she was reunited annually with her transformed daughter, it is only when we can give up notions of eternal paradise and immortality that we can relinquish old attachments. Only when we have been humbled by and have accepted those mysterious cyclic forces beyond ourselves that we can be restored to a state of plentitude and abundance in the here and now. Then we can truly understand how our cup must be emptied in order to be filled afresh.
Ceres in the birth chart thus describes what one really cares about, and the way one nurtures others (and needs to be nurtured oneself) in a parental kind of way. It also indicates where one may tend to cling, the kind of separations that can be traumatic, and what one may be required to give up (or share with others) in order to grow. It can also indicate the ways in which we seek for something that seems to be missing, something we didn't get enough of, as well as the ways that can help us mourn such a loss. As with Demeter and Persephone, Ceres can also indicate the kind of experience that constitutes a rite of passage - the most profound transformation: the death and rebirth of the self.

quote:
As with goddess-myths associated with the other asteroids, the myths that pertain to the warrior goddess Pallas Athena reflect socio-historic upheavals as well as archetypal themes. One of the most interesting aspects of Athena's myth, as it has evolved, is the changing nature of her birth. In her earliest form she was said to have been born of Lake Triton in Libya, home of the legendary amazons. Her worship was brought to the Greek islands much later by the Libyans themselves as they emigrated across the Mediterranean sea. The story of her birth reflected this migration, for she was then said to be born of Metis - a sea goddess. Further evolution of her myth reflects the encounter of the goddess worshipping peoples with the patriarchal people invading Greece from the north: Metis (whose name means Wise Counsel), pregnant with Athena, was devoured by the invaders' god, Zeus, who later gave birth to a fully grown and fully armored Pallas Athena from his head. Later versions of this myth omit altogether any mention of Metis, and depict Athena as having been conceived without a woman's involvement.
Later myth also portrays Athena as bringing about the destruction of both Pallas and Medusa in what appears to be sociological evidence of the attempt to destroy goddess worship. (Pallas, Athena, and Medusa were the three faces of the Libyan version of the triple goddess.) In one of these myths Zeus tricks Athena into killing her Amazonian sister Pallas during a friendly competition. Another myth relates how Athena helped King Perseus to cut off Medusa's head by giving him a mirror to use so he could avoid her deadly gaze. Yet, as much as these myths might have been used as evidence of the wise Athena's denunciation of the Feminine, they also contain symbolism that indicates how Athena preserved the goddess trinity. For, upon the death of Pallas, the grieving Athena placed her sister's name before her own. As for her attitude towards Medusa, she bore Medusa's image upon her breastplate and distributed her blood to healers as a regenerative medicine. The symbolic importance of the mirror in the Perseus-Medusa conflict also hints at Athena's wisdom and gift as a mediator in teaching how to reconcile opposites by seeing in oneself the disowned qualities that are projected onto opponents.
Pallas Athena signifies wisdom and creative problem solving in which a holistic view of conflicting or opposite elements (the Masculine and the Feminine) is required. This sense of fairness is backed up by a willingness to defend or fight for the underdog. Thus Pallas Athena is also associated with fighting for causes. She represents the application of practical skill and creative intelligence in order to best be of service. She was the goddess of war (defense, originally) as well as the goddess of wisdom and culture - patroness of the civilized arts such as pottery, sculpture, weaving, architecture, and animal husbandry. Pallas Athena can also represent the denial of one's own gender in an effort to cope with situations that require the skills of the opposite gender in order to survive, as well as the struggle to rediscover and reconnect with essential qualities of one's own sex. Androgynous conditions and healing through feminine wisdom, energy balancing or conflict resolution are also expressions of the Pallas Athena archetype.

quote:
The asteroid Vesta (Latin) is named after the ancient Greek goddess Hestia, first born of the Olympian deities and last released by her father Cronos (father Time), who at one point swallowed all his offspring. Thus she denotes the beginning and the end - alpha and omega - and serves as a reminder of the source from which all things originate and to which all must return. She represents the preservation of sacredness and the state of connection to formless Essence. As such, she is the only Olympic deity not worshipped anthropomorphically; she is symbolized only by the altar and its sacred flame. Thus she also represents any sacred space - be it temple, sweat lodge, or meditation corner - that acts as a container in which we may center ourselves, and feel the presence of Spirit. In ancient times Vesta was worshipped both in the city center as the flaming altar, and in every home as the central hearth whose embers were literally passed on down through the generations from mother to daughter when the daughter married and established her own hearth. In this manner Vesta came to represent the perpetuation of the spark of life, and of civilization and one's ancestral and cultural roots.
In early matriarchal societies, priestesses honoring Hestia maintained a connection to this spiritual essence (represented by a sacred flame that they tended night and day). They offered themselves in sacred sexual union in order to teach the divine aspect of sexuality and the need to remain aware of the sacred while engaged in physical life. The priestesses remained unmarried and committed to none but themselves and their worship. Their sons (conceived anonymously during ceremonial summer solstice rites) served as year-kings when there was no royal heir. These customs were finally abolished when patrilineal traditions were enforced and the priestesses were compelled by the Roman king to serve as keepers of the new (patriarchal) civilization and to observe vows of celibacy. To break these vows entailed a cruel death penalty. In exchange for the relinquishment of their sexuality, matrilineal customs, and true spiritual function, the priestesses (Vestal Virgins) were granted freedom from paternal control.
Vesta's sacred flame represents, in the yogic tradition, the kundalinii force which, when properly awakened and channeled, leads to spiritual development. Thus, astrologically, Vesta has come to represent both spirituality and consecrated (or desecrated) sexuality. This can include a wide range of sexual expressions such as abstinence, renunciation and celibacy, the celebration of spiritually honored sexuality, sexual idealism, and the sacred ***** . Astrologically, Vesta stands for that which provides us with inner sustenance; the way in which we are pulled back to our core or inner self; and the struggle between this and the demands of the outer world. Vesta represents the way in which we long to bless others with the fruits of the spiritual resources we have found within ourselves, but it is also the need to retreat and preserve our inner sanctuary against any disrespectful intrusion. Vesta is associated with dedication, focus, and commitment. She represents those things that helps us focus, the way in which we dedicate ourselves with heart and soul, and that for which we are ready (or compelled) to make a sacrifice. The things indicated by Vesta's position in your chart may be things that you feel compelled to give up or sacrifice, often out of a sense of spiritual compulsion. Yet they can also be the very things that evoke your dedication - leading to a sense of deep inner fulfillment when you are willing to make some sacrifices on their behalf. Keep this paradox in mind as you read on, for Vesta can express itself one way or the other - or both!

And Im pasting my report to share in case y'all have any of the same placements/aspects..

quote:
Chiron in Taurus
When Chiron is in Taurus, mentoring and the healing process are associated with learning how to care for one's body and one's physical and material needs, and with learning how to live in and care for the physical world. This applies to both the kind of mentoring you seek for yourself, and the kind that you are eventually able to extend to others. You may encounter mentor figures who are earthy types, engaged in such activities as organic gardening and ecological movements. Unhealthy attitudes towards the body or sensuality, or lack of physical nurturing or material security and stability at an early age could lead you to feel wounded or inadequate in these areas of life. Experiences such as the loss of material possessions or physical health can evoke your philosophical side and awaken a true sense of wisdom as you struggle to come to terms with the ongoing suffering and the healing sought.

Chiron in 10th House
Chiron in the tenth house indicates that issues of healing, wounding, or mentoring (as described by Chiron's sign placement) play themselves out through the sphere of life that has to do with career and/or social standing. Your profession or career may involve work with healing arts that are holistic or that deal with the reconciliation of the instinctual with the spiritual. Your work may involve mentoring, guidance, or counseling. Your career path may take you through some excruciatingly painful ups and downs before you come into a profession that is healing both for yourself and for others. The inability to fit the executive/business mold or to embrace traditional standards of corporate or "upper class" achievement can be a source of great suffering. Eventually you learn how to integrate and learn from these experiences in such a way that you cyclically reap deeper and deeper healing and wisdom from them.

Mars Quincunx Chiron Orb: 00°57'
Chiron forms a challenging aspect with Mars. The centaur and the warrior butt heads! You may suffer due to opinions that it is unmanly for men to engage themselves in healing, therapeutic or counseling endeavors. Or perhaps you struggle with feelings of lack of confidence or fear of confrontation when it comes to fulfilling a calling you feel to teach or mentor. The ability to cope with confrontation and aggression, as well as to assert yourself and express your drive and your anger in effective ways is, for you, experienced as a painful or wounding issue in some way. You may have been exposed, in early life, to an ongoing atmosphere of subtle or overt abuse and intimidation that prevented you from learning the positive skills of self-assertion and healthy anger. You may fear your own capacity for anger, or believe that all anger is destructive. This can lead to a suppression of anger that builds up and does start to feel threatening. As a result you may, consciously or unconsciously, lapse into passive-aggressive behavior patterns or indulge in backhanded competitive efforts to wreak vengeance on those with whom you are angry. Direct honest expression of your anger can be the most frightening and threatening challenge in the world, yet you long to learn how to be able to handle yourself in such a way. When you do, you find the effects incredibly healing. The trick is to learn to see that the need for healing and the need for confrontation are not incompatible, and that by learning to embrace both these needs you find the solution to these old patterns of conflict.

Ceres in Scorpio
With Ceres in Scorpio, nurturance is associated with deep and intense emotional bonding, transformational experiences, and the healthy affirmation of one's instinctive and sexual needs. You nurture others through the confident sharing of your energies: emotional, sexual, and "shamanic" (healing). Others may be transformed through these experiences with you, or through your penetrating psychological insight into their problems. The intensity of all this could be too much for some folks, which grieves you, for it is your way of caring. Lack of this kind of intimate nurturance and emotional affirmation in your own upbringing could become a source of grief that serves as a catalyst to help you transform your own resulting inner emotional wounding, and thus, to be able to help others in this way as well. Birth, sex, conditions of the reproductive system, death, and other rites of passage could be profound experiences that change your life and constitute an initiation into the lessons of loss and return, transformation, and simply letting go.

Ceres in 4th House
Ceres in the fourth house indicates a capacity for emotional empathy and caring that calls to mind the unity between a mother and her unborn infant. Nurturance is associated with an emotional communication so connected that words are almost unnecessary and "cutting the cord" feels like a threat to life itself. Perhaps the birth experience or some other parent-child separation at a young age was a traumatic experience that introduced grief into childhood. At any rate, you have an incredible capacity to provide emotional nurturance and, with the home possibly serving as a base of operations, you like to nurture others by providing food, child care, or emotional healing through any method that addresses the wounds of childhood.

Moon Sextile Ceres Orb: 03°51'
Ceres forms a harmonious aspect with the Moon. Your experience of mother-child bonding themes blends easily and naturally with your emotional and instinctive reactions. Your natural response is to care for life and others, and your grace in dealing with life's losses and difficult rites of passage makes you a comfort to others grappling with these issues. Your emotional acceptance and grasp of the dark terrain of "the Underworld" is nurturing to others.

Venus Sextile Ceres Orb: 01°48'
Ceres forms a harmonious aspect with Venus. The mother-daughter (parent-child) story complements and is complemented by the pleasure principle (beauty, harmony, and the world of the senses). You associate nurturance with the cultivation of a sense of self-worth through affirmative touch and the affirmation of one's attractiveness. You nurture others (and look to nurturance yourself) through a loving acceptance of the sensual, the artistic and the creative. Your sexual expression may be very caring and tender. Love, relationships, and sexuality all benefit from your experience in handling the formation and severance of strong emotional ties.

Pallas in Libra
Pallas Athena in Libra denotes perceptive insight or intuitional skill when it comes to creating balance and harmony - whether in the social context of human relationships, or in the aesthetic context of decoration and the arts. You may be particularly inventive or subtle in your ability to juggle all the components of a situation, or to arrange compromises that accommodate everyone's needs or points of view, and it may be important for you to utilize these skills in your career. (Difficulties may arise if the tendency to compromise involves a betrayal of the self, if you war against any other point of view but your own, or you justify the use of aggression or violence in the name of idealism or dogmatic crusades.) A natural gift for mediation, tact, taste, and diplomacy may be put to use in the defense of some cause or underprivileged group, perhaps women (see Pallas Athena's house position, below). If you are gifted artistically, these gifts may also be put to such use. Gender energies may be muted by an androgynous quality. The healing of the Feminine, or of the war between the Feminine and the Masculine could be a major concern. Skills in healing or conflict resolution may lie in the creative ability to work with opposites or polarities: taoist practices that balance yin and yang (e.g. macrobiotics, tai chi, shiatsu, chi gung), marital counseling, or co-dependency, for example.

Pallas in 3rd House
Pallas Athena in the third house denotes a truly intuitive gift for teaching and communicating. Creativity, zeal, and practicality are blended in a revolutionary approach to education and knowledge. You are the "warrior student" or "warrior teacher!" You may be particularly inventive or subtle in the use of gesture, words, speech or writing, and it may be important for you to utilize your skills in the communication of knowledge and ideas in your career. Your creative writing, your communications, and your study may center around issues of justice, humanitarian causes, women's issues, or the taking of a cultural warrior stance of some kind. You might write as a way of making a cultural contribution, or perhaps your thoughts, speech, or writing revolve around issues dealing with sexual identity or healing gender conflict. Skills in healing or conflict resolution lie in the creative use of language and thought: mantras, affirmations, and positive thinking; as well as in therapies aimed at the functions of speech, the nervous system, or manual dexterity. Difficulty can arise if Pallas Athena's energy is expressed as a learning crusade in which information is all that matters.

Moon Square Pallas Orb: 06°13'
The asteroid Pallas Athena forms a challenging aspect with the Moon. There's a conflict of interest between the instinctive emotional nature and the creative intellect with it's penchant for cultural or refined expression (either within yourself, or between yourself and others). You may feel torn between mothering and career needs, or between emotional needs and mental/creative pursuits. You may experience strong emotional reactions to non-traditional gender, cultural, or political rights issues (whether for or against such activities). These reactions may come from yourself or from anima or mother figures. The stress generated by this conflict can be resolved by coming to understand how both these needs seek a positive expression in your own life, and that you must not rely on others to totally express these energies for you.

Venus Square Pallas Orb: 04°10'
The asteroid Pallas Athena forms a challenging aspect with Venus. The goddess of wisdom and culture meets the goddess of love and the fight is on! You may feel, or be made to feel, that it is unappealing for women to express themselves assertively career-wise or in the fields or mental/creative or political endeavor. Trouble could arise over "dumb blonde" assumptions or behavior. You may prefer the pursuit of pleasure over issues of social conscience, and run into difficulties as a result. Or perhaps your socio-cultural interests or work activities take such precedence in your life that love and pleasure take a back seat; you may feel that it isn't appropriate to have fun as long as your favorite cause suffers from social or cultural injustices. If one goddess is being ignored in favor of the other, then (as the ancient Greeks pointed out) you can expect trouble. Things can tend to go to the extreme unless both of these "goddess"-archetypes get their fair share of healthy expression in your life.

Mars Conjunct Pallas Orb: 01°56'
The asteroid Pallas Athena is conjunct Mars. Your male assertive energies team up with your creative intellect and socio-cultural sentiment. Your creative genius is manifested in the world through your boldness and assertiveness, your ability to take action, and a willingness to defend your cause. You may support an oppressed group through courageous, militant, or strategic action or through a remarkably persuasive sales technique. Your creativity may express masculine themes or be put to the service of men's issues. Your masculine qualities may be highly developed, and you could excel in sports or the martial arts.

Saturn Conjunct Pallas Orb: 00°46'
The asteroid Pallas Athena is conjunct Saturn. The creative intellect is wedded to practical achievement. Your interest in artistic or political cultural expression is grounded in your urge to manifest goals in concrete, long-lasting and durable ways. You can apply your highly developed sense of discipline and responsibility to the manifestation of your mental/creative efforts, or in the support of some cause that is dear to your heart. You may be gifted at the perception of the structural rules and laws that govern systems and organizations, and may work to correct imbalances or authoritarian abuses within them. Perhaps you champion traditional customs or ancient ways, or enjoy expressing your artistic creativity through folk arts.

Pluto Conjunct Pallas Orb: 05°40'
The asteroid Pallas Athena is conjunct Pluto. Issues of power and self-empowerment are bound up with intellectual and socio-cultural interests. You may have a powerful impact upon others through the expression of your mental/creative abilities, perhaps through artistic expression or perhaps through socio-cultural contributions or activism. Or perhaps you possess a certain charisma that you wield in support of a favorite cause. You may possess intuitive insight into the workings of the human psyche, sexuality, self-transformation, and power issues. You may support groups that are experiencing or recovering from abuse of some kind.

Juno in Sagittarius
With Juno in Sagittarius, the qualities you seek in a committed relationship are freedom, a spirit of adventure, a shared vision, and a shared belief system to lend you faith and inspiration in the movement towards your goals. You appreciate a partner with a love for the outdoors and an interest in outdoor sports. Someone who's willing to explore, and to travel beyond the familiar in search of truth and the unknown. It could be that, in spite of your best efforts, you yourself experience a sense of inadequacy or powerlessness when it comes to such matters, or that your partner is doing all the expressing in this regard (or vice versa). This could be a source of difficulty when it comes to intimate relations, and may lead to fanatic adherence to one's own beliefs. Intimacy/freedom needs, childbearing, fidelity, and power issues need to be handled frankly, otherwise unrealistic expectations can result.

Juno in 5th House
Juno in the fifth house indicates that your need for creative fulfillment is actualized through being in a partnership. You may like to have someone else with whom to share creative work with. You might need encouragement or inspiration from a loved one, or perhaps you feel creatively thwarted and meet these needs through your partner's creativity or through your children. Your most important relationship experiences will involve your children, lovers (romance may be a necessary ingredient in your relationship life), or creativity. The qualities described by Juno's sign position (above) indicates the manner in which you can best deal with these issues.

Sun Sextile Juno Orb: 02°30'
Juno forms a harmonious aspect with the Sun. The need for intimacy and a mutually supportive relationship combines with the sense of identity and creative purpose in a natural, easy manner. You like to relate harmoniously with others, and you are able to handle with grace such issues as the struggle for equality and the need for autonomy within relationship. You may be supportive of your partner's creative expression and playfulness, or be attracted to a partner who supports your own creativity and self-expression. Such interests may provide you and your partner with a comfortable way to share and enrich your relationship.

Neptune Conjunct Juno Orb: 02°46'
Your Juno is conjunct Neptune. Your longing for an intimate relationship between equals colored by your sensitivity and your mystical longings. Your partner may affirm your spiritual nature, or encourage your sensitive ability as expressed through artistic, healing, compassionate or psychic capacities. Or perhaps it is your partner who possesses these characteristics. At any rate, your sense of the sacred, the beautiful, and the spiritual is strongly colored by your experience within a committed relationship, and may figure importantly in the power struggles and the striving for equality which are part of such relationships.

Pluto Sextile Juno Orb: 02°39'
Juno forms a harmonious aspect with Pluto. The whole sphere of intimacy and equality in relationship combines nicely with issues of power, self-empowerment, and transformation. Your instinctive grasp of the deep inner forces at work in life grants you a psychological depth and a sense of self-empowerment that can benefit your committed relationship or partner. You associate healthy partnerships with powerful instincts and energies, and the encouragement of one's ability to handle power and undergo transformative experiences.

Vesta in Capricorn
Vesta in Capricorn indicates that discipline, ambition, and determination are the things that help you focus and center yourself. You use them to go inward, get in touch with yourself, and tap into your sense of dedication, which is then committed to highly disciplined activities of an organizational, executive, or administrative nature (described further by Vesta's house position, below). You are capable of hard work and great achievement through sheer tenacity and the willingness to stick it out. It is possible that, through one-pointedness, you focus so much on your determination and systematic ways that the means becomes an end in itself and you lose sight of the goal they are meant to serve. If this happens, determination can evolve into a need for power and status, and discipline into inflexibility. This can leave you feeling off-center and out of touch with yourself, and tempted even to renounce all ambition. Renunciation of personal ambitions for spiritual reasons is also possible with this astrological placement. Respect and serious commitment are necessary for sexual fulfillment, and the need for authority and control can inhibit it. In some cases sexuality may be renounced in favor of structured responsibilities or austere disciplines. Alignment of the determination to succeed with your sense of inner spiritual presence, can renew the sense of inspired dedication to your goals.

Vesta in 6th House
Vesta in the sixth house indicates that sacrificial dedication and intense focus are channeled into your interactions with co-workers, bosses, and employees, as well as into efficiency in the handling of matters in the daily work environment. Apprenticeship, the gaining of work skills, and service activities may also be the center of this focus. You could experience frustrations and setbacks on the job, but your commitment and willingness to make sacrifices for your work ensure that you do an excellent job. Difficulties may arise if your zeal involves excessively high standards (and thus a critical attitude towards co-workers), perfectionism, or workaholic tendencies. Sexual expression could be sublimated into your work drive. Health, nutrition, and preventative care are other areas in which you may direct this kind of one-pointed focus, perhaps as a result of your own struggle for good health (especially where the digestive system is concerned). Careful consideration of these activities or issues will help you understand how to best manage your sense of commitment and remain centered in your self.

Mars Square Vesta Orb: 04°59'
Your Vesta forms a challenging aspect with Mars. Your fighting spirit and masculine energies are at loggerheads with the whole issue of dedication and self-sacrifice. You may feel, or be made to feel, that it is unmanly for men to express themselves in spiritual or sexually honoring ways. Or perhaps you struggle with a lack of confidence or fear of confrontation when it comes to expressing your spiritual views, your sexuality, or your capacity for dedication to a cherished activity. Sexual or spiritual trauma resulting from patriarchal abuses may require healing in order to move beyond a state of entrenched conflict. Or perhaps spiritual views leave you feeling uncomfortable about your more masculine characteristics, such as willful drive or assertiveness. Impossible as it may seem, there is a place in the world, and in you, for both cherishing sacrifice and healthy masculine assertiveness. The more you can entertain this possibility and give up the tendency to take sides between these two expressions, the more you will experience the resolution and healing of old conflicts of this nature.

Jupiter Sextile Vesta Orb: 03°53'
Your Vesta forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. Your sense of faith and optimism bolsters your capacity for commitment to a cherished goal. Your quest for knowledge and understanding, and your interest in travel and foreign culture serve to deepen and enrich your spiritual/sexual expression. You are able to balance your capacity for sacrifice and intense dedication with your need for adventure, growth, and exploration. Your philosophy, teaching, and cultural or legal activity can be supportive of those who seek healing from the trauma of spiritual or sexual desecration.
