Any kind of physical or erotic expression between us has always been rather surreal and spiritual. It was always unconsciously purposeful and deeply transformative. Even healing.

His Vesta is in my 3H; mine is in his 12H. We're writers; often being rather inspired by the more soul-shaking things.

It seems that Vesta and nessus are pretty much polar opposites from what I've heard. The thing is, I have both nessus and Vesta conjunct Midheaven. (in cancer)
So what then? How does that work?

Vesta is a serene devotion; Nessus is abusive, calculating, and withholding. It will push, inveigle, and fight in order to get what it wants - to the point of destroying the object of desire.

As some have said, the Vestal Virgins were not actual virgins at all - but independent, dedicated women who delightfully gave of their sexuality in the pursuit of 'vestal' pursuits: transcendence and devotion to higher cause. Sex was never a means of procreation, but, really, tantra. They were tantra maidens.

Nessus does show the unfortunate patterns of abuse, however. I can imagine, (with my writerly-mind) the sort of scenario.

You're employed by someone, pouring your heart and soul into your work, sacrificing in certain cases. There's an attraction to this person. You don't want to 'go there' because of the work relationship, but they're very forceful about it. (Vesta always channels her devotion into a point she's near, and the house she occupies, so that would give greater insight into how or what. Same with Nessus; the sign, house, and aspects can be very telling.)

In this situation, the 'abuse' wouldn't even have to be overt. You might simply find your job jeopardised due to circumstances - or your work might be undermined by the relationship. Treating Vesta in this manner is extremely dicey, however. She doesn't like sex unless it's FOR something. Typically a cause.

Creatives who sexualise for their art? That's okay. Activists who sexualise their work for their message? That's cool, too. Sacrificing the sanctity of work in order to satisfy the forceful need of another? That's a no-no.

Nonetheless, Nessus is a powerful dude. Anytime he starts hanging around a specific point, it's 'dominated' - whether intentionally or circumstantially. The greatest conflict is when Nessus starts using their power or authority to undermine the work of Vesta. The opposition is very compelling, however. This is where we can find the otherwise 'exciting' instance of a taboo work relationship with an imbalance of power turning diabolical. Now it's not a longer lunch - it's 'your job'.

See how that works?

His Valentine is parallel my MC, (though not Nessus), so I'm sure that helps to soften the blow. I never feel it's anything outside of sheer stubbornness, or silently asserting that HE knows how HE's going to do this, thankyouverymuch. Rather than think, 'he doesn't respect my direction at all!' I simply sigh and go, ' ... well, okay then.' 95% he does a superlative job, so, hey.

That's really the only thing for which I've ever had concern. Outside of it squaring my Venus. But ... uhh ... that hasn't been a bad effect, actually .... nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say-no-more. The tightest aspect is his natal sextile to Saturn, which I can attribute to an indirectly domineering father. Insidious, because he was never able to point directly to the cause of the abuse. It was just THERE. Very unsettling. (Don't be an alcoholic, Dads. Really messes things up.) Otherwise, the only hard aspect he's got natally is a square to Psyche.

Now that one is interesting.

He has specific training and experience in the area of influence; persuasion, and the like. 'Mental domination and pattern manipulation', I'd say. Naturally, since it's Nessus, a lot of that was developed in response to the heavy load of having to defend his own thoughts, ideas, and ideals from unwanted domination.

As such, it is something to watch with him. You never quite know if the man's psyopping you.

Great question. Well, you will have both parts of yourself showing to the world.

The synastry is that if someone else aspects my Mc, they also aspect those. Especially nessus as it's a 1' conjunction.

Nearby, but not close enough to conjunct, I have my Nessus conjunct his Amor, and a little bit further away, but all still within Taurus I have my Cupido conjunct his Nessus.

I wish I had a better handle on how a "negative" asteroid interacts in conjunction with a "positive" or "love" asteroid. I guess I can see the possibility it could be nice, with the "love asteroid" person being able to love and accept even the most negative aspects of the Nessus person, or it could go all to hell? Anything else I should be aware of since Taurus is involved in all of these, including Vesta?
