The eclipse is going to be at 29 Virgo on Friday the 22nd. I’m not sure if I can be of any help, but here’s some Vesta info --

From Horoscopeschat: “Vesta signifies alienation and separation from and denial of personal relationships; anchoring in stability; ascetism; aspiration; avoidance of marriage and children; the balancing out of excessive emotionalism (where indicated elsewhere in the figure) or deficient self-esteem; barrenness; the binding of groups of people having a common belief; celibacy; chastity; clearing away of débris; commitment; conservatism; contracts; credibility; dedication (to causes, careers, or service); delay of desires by responsibilities; devotion and devotional activities; exercise; extremism; fanaticism; fear of intimacy and commitment; fertility; focus and centredness; frigidity; health; heritage; hospitality; impotence; initiation; inner strength; liberated or discriminating sexuality; meditation; nutrition; the perception and use of physical space and of the home; personal integration; personal routines; prayer; preparation for new growth; preservation of what is important; promiscuity; prostitution; protection; psychic development; purification; purity; retreat; religious activities; religious and magical ceremony; ritual; the transmutation of karma through dharma; safety; sanctuary; scholastic interests; security; self-containment and self-reliance; self-discipline; self-regeneration; seniority; service and servitude; sex outside committed relationships; sexual fears, guilt and inadequacies; solemnity; sterility; sublimation or transmutation of sexual energies in devotional, intellectual, mental, physical or work outlets; tradition; treaties; virginity; voluntary simplicity; vows; warmth; willing sacrifice (especially to reach goals); 'workaholism'; work motivated by personal alienation or compensation; and zealousness.”

”It is associated with acolytes; altars; ancestral care; assistants to priests; caretakers; ceramics; ceremonial objects; club members; deer; donkeys; esoteric, fraternal or sororal orders; fences; fire as used for human benefit; the Fire element; heart fires; gurus; hearts; houses; ibises; illuminators; keepers of traditions and of esoteric and religious teachings; keys; lamps; laurel trees; light bearers; locks; masons; monks; nightingales; nuns; oak trees; the pineal gland; pornography; priests and priestesses; professors; religious orders; Rosicrucians; safes; scholars; scribes; secret societies and orders; service groups; slow, steady animals; social groups; spiders; teachers; and zealots. Its glyph represents the Hearth Fire; and its symbols include eternal flames; five-pointed stars; flaming altars; torches; and tripods.”

With nVesta conj your nMoon, I suspect you may experience some disconnection from your feelings from time to time….. does this resonate? But when the Sun aspects this pair perhaps the opposite is true and you feel very centered? I also suspect your spirituality runs very deep…..

Some of the above is kinda funny (**watch out for those Rosy Cross people and other zealots!!**)

My Pisces Moon is at 26, square nJupiter at 26 Gem and quincunx nSun at 26 Libra, so I’m several hours away from direct contact with the Eclipse, although I’m sure I will experience **something**!! My Asc and Dsc are also quincunx the New Moon, at 29 degrees Leo/Aqua. My NN at 29 Cap will be trine the New Moon. But I plan to have a lovely day anyway, and I’m looking forward to whatever changes are on deck!! The Eclipse will happen first thing in the morning where I am, so I’ll only be half-awake anyway. The New Moon is New Beginnings, and I could use some new beginnings right now in several facets of my life. And any break from tPluto’s assault on my Moon/Jupiter is appreciated.

Did you read the Lisa Dale Miller blurb on the New Moon? http://www.astrowisdom.com/thisnewmoon.htm

The transiting NN will be right on my nMoon, I have no idea what that means…..
