Bump! I have Vesta in Scorpio in the 8th House too. "Vesta is also called Hestia. Her symbol is the Eternal flame, she is Keeper of the Sacred Flame. The flame she tends is that of truth and of the hearth. She is associated with devotion, service, conservation and dedication to religious or spiritual beliefs. She is mythologically the Vestal Virgin, one whose life is committed to spiritual service, therefore she is 'married to spirit'. Her sexuality, as all other aspects of her being, are surrendered to spirit and used in its service, therefore she is virgin in the sense that she belongs to no man, but only to Spirit. In a chart she indicates how we deal with issues of work, devotion, commitment, sacrifice, and denial of [or fear of] intimacy, and primarily with the question of personal integration.
Vesta is the core of the planet Maldek which is [was] the natural ruler of Virgo and the sixth house, therefore Vesta retains those associations."
Vesta in the Eighth:
"You are dedicated to transformative experiences of emotional and sexual intimacy, and delving into the realm of hidden or occult knowledge. Your desire is for an absolute sharing, perhaps a mystical union, and you may have great difficulty finding a partner who can match your intensity. Your challenge revolves around letting go of personal desires and the lessons of sharing energy and possessions."
Vesta in Scorpio:
"You are very passionate in your devotional nature, needing depth of intimacy in relationships, and seeking absolutes in your spirituality. You may ignore sexual taboos, but may also be vulnerable to shame and guilt as a result, which could lead to repression."
