The Asteroid Vesta Is in Leo, and It’s Asking You to Step Into the Spotlight
It’s time to step into the light, whether you’re ready for it or not! The asteroid Vesta is entering Leo on August 11, bringing a roaring flame across the sky, and it’ll stay in this exuberant sign until entering Virgo on October 22. According to Roman mythology, Vesta was the goddess of the home, domestic life, and the hearth—so this is a fitting asteroid to give our attention to while we’re self-isolating. Studying Vesta helps us understand where we need to focus our energy at home. This asteroid also calls attention to our need to make sacrifices that encourage both our personal growth and communal development.
