Whow!! True for me too! My first's Vesta is exactly conjunct mine by one degree. Mind you, I'm not sure about that aspect "Freeing" us sexually. I was never able to completely relax with my first, or really enjoy the whole sexual experience (that came years later). But it's downright spooky that one little astroid could so accurately pinpoint the person you lost your virginity too. Thank you for sharing!

It really is amaizing!!!!!!

Your very welcome!

However, I would like to thank you as well for sharing your testimonial with us!!!!!!!

Concerning Vesta:what would a Vesta in Libra,2nd H./squaring Mars/conjuncting Pluto probably mean to someone?

---

Here is some info I found from a site....

quote:

---

Vesta in the Second:
Your path of devotion is learning to manifest material abundance and security
for yourself and loved ones. You may go through experiences of limitation of
pleasures and comforts, as a challenge to learn the art of manifesting through
thought.

---

And.....

quote:

---

Vesta in Libra:
You need to work with others rather than alone. Interaction, cooperation and
balance bring out your devotion and willingness to serve. You need equality in
intimate relationships, but your need to be accepted and pleasing may prompt you
to relinquish too much of your own personal preferences. Comparing yourself with
others may foster competition, which can interfere with intimacy.

I hope that helps... and I think the aspect you have between vesta and mars will (natally) stimulate action....

And with vesta and pluto... stimulate change....

Oh, I wouldn't get too discouraged. I just checked the charts of a couple who have been together for a long time (and I know for sure one was the other's "first time"). Their vestas are in the same sign but donot make an aspect with eachother.

---

So I believe as long as you have a sextile by sign... this will still hold true.... and like you said... the moon-vesta synastry conjunction could also be another indicator!

the guy has no Aries but I'll see what other aspects there are

He has Cancer Mars 6 deg...does that count as square?

If not maybe it could make an aspect to asc.
I know nothing about his birth time

I've really been diving into the meaning of vesta as I completely over looked it in my chart before. I am a 12th house Virgo Sun with Taurus Vesta (Gemini vesta on astrotheme charts) conjunct Gemini Mars In 8th house.

I've just realized that vesta is the true ruler of Virgo and now it has totally reoriented my view of my chart. Sexuality is a major theme in my minds experience of life and I can agree that vesta conjunct my own mars is
NOT a freeing "spiritual-***** -like" experience. Though I consider myself fairly popular with girls I definitely have blockages with be as sexually open as I'd like to be (like normal people).

Any thoughts on that?

So weird that with my first she was so aggressive and sought me out that there was much flow to the whole thing. But turns out later I found she lied about how many people shed been with! She told me only 1.

The concept of a Vestal Virgin is not one and the same with modern religious purity and chastity - there are posts here on Vesta already that will explain this misconception.

Using Vesta in this manner is widely opposed to the reality for me in this "theoretical" calculation. I do mean that literally as well... a wide orb of separation and opposition... although these contacts are strong synastric signs for dedication, devotion, commitment, and being dutiful and responsible in relationships (or not depending on the actual aspect).

Vesta does not rule Virgo - in fact, the only time Virgo has been determined to have any other ruler beside Mercury is at the placement of Ceres as her ruler, in some circles of modern astrology - but this is not widely agreed upon in any case. There are about 7 goddesses with celestial bodies all named for them who are already related to the constellation of Virgo and Libra (Libra which breaks off from the Virgo constellation story).

VESTA = VESTA

the biggest problem in understanding the meaning and significance of Vesta in a chart is tied to the belief that somehow she and her Vestal Virgins somehow signify virginity in the sense of purity being a person who has not experienced intercourse, otherwise being someone sexually "pure". Which is not the case. The same misconception is held by those who somehow relate the sign of Virgo to being the sign of virginity in these same misconstrued terms. Virgin did not imply the same thing to the founders of the myths that astrology was built upon, and this is what needs to be recognized today.

These two articles will help you better understand Vesta and her meanings.

Thanks for the response !

I think the cool thing about astrology is when you understand what energies the planets represent and hence recognizing the energies within yourself, it's primarily up to your own interpretation of how they blend.

As a Virgo Sun/Merc and Venus I know innately that vesta is a much more relatable and Virgoan energy principle than mercury. I always thought there was too wide of a gap between Virgo and Gemini energies for them to have the same ruler. Virgo's sense of analysis has more of an intuitive-earthy-bodybased-gut feeling tone to it, while Gemini's has a more superficial data intake and is even invertible in what it's looking for.. Mercury as Virgo ruler always felt like a puzzle piece trying to be forced in. Mercury as Co-Ruler? Yeah that feels more like it. I mean I'm not going to be the one going around changing official rulerships, but I know now that highly Virgo influenced charts will relate much more personal meaning to their placement of vesta than mercury

I think it's also amazing that the lady I lost my virginity to had her mars exactly conjunct my vesta. And i was only prompted to check after stumbling on this forum. the fact that others have experienced this too at least makes the theory at least worthy of an eyebrow raise and more research.

I've just recently discovered vestas influence in my chart and life...a huge "aha" moment. Mars conjunct Vesta is something I feel and acknowledge deeply. Mars is my descendant ruler and I've always been oddly picky about relationships. I can also realize now how I displace my sexual needs to my career through the jupiter sextile to the 10th house.

Transiting Vesta is in my 9th house Gemini and I have been BINGING on astrology like the Internet is about to end.

The 8th house Gemini Mars/Vesta square Virgo Venus in the 11th seems to be the root of my relationship problems though....(Libra Rising)

Any insights on how to work with vesta conjunct mars better?
