What is a message in space. Astrology news. Distances of the planets from the Sun

A new frontier in the development of human civilization is the exploration of the vast and full of mysteries of space. We take thousands of steps to unraveling, and one of them is the study of the asteroid Vesta, which has exceptional features compared to other celestial bodies.

Asteroid Vesta

It is one of the most massive objects in the vast asteroid belt that stretches between Mars and Jupiter. One revolution around the Sun takes almost 4 years. own axis- 5 hours, and the acceleration of free fall is almost 5 times less than on Earth. The asteroid shares its name with the Roman goddess of the family hearth, Vesta. It got its name from the notorious Karl Gauss. By the way, Phaethon, which will be discussed later, is also named after a mythical god, and the first discovered asteroids are only named after goddesses (for example, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, Pallas and others).

Vesta is the only asteroid that is visible to the naked eye from Earth (under normal weather conditions). This is facilitated by a bright surface, large size and the ability to approach our planet relatively close. At the same time, its shape is far from ideal - round, Vesta did not have enough gravity to "polish" its surface.

Origin hypothesis

March 29, 1807 (almost 200 years ago) Heinrich Olbers discovered the asteroid Vesta. Incomparable with other celestial bodies in the asteroid belt, the brightness and the alleged origin make it one of the most interesting objects to study.

The generally accepted version says that Vesta is a fragment of the planet Phaeton, which can now only be imagined: the entire asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is its fragments. But is it?

At the end of the 18th century, German scientists discovered a pattern in the distances between the planets and the Sun. All known planets fell under the revealed rule with one exception: there seemed to be a gap between Mars and Jupiter - according to calculations, there should have been an orbit of another planet. A few years later, astronomers found it, exactly in the place where it was supposed, and called it Ceres. But the story didn't end there either. In subsequent years, 4 more large objects were discovered, including the asteroid Vesta, orbiting approximately in the same orbit as Ceres. Heinrich Olbers, who discovered Vesta, became the founder of the hypothesis: next to Jupiter there used to be another planet, Phaeton, which had broken into pieces.

Phaeton - a myth?

This idea was picked up by the world community and developed in various directions. In the last century, scientists calculated that Phaethon could have been nearly 7,000 kilometers in diameter, making it even larger than Mars. The catastrophe is separated from the present time by 16 million years.

On the other hand, all of the above are only hypotheses. The date is not exact, the causes of the cataclysm are debatable. Someone says that volcanoes were to blame, literally destroying the planet from the inside. Some argue that Phaethon was torn apart by centrifugal force, someone is sure that if such a planet existed, then it simply shattered into pieces due to a collision with its own satellite. We will talk about the theory of alien interference, which has no less followers, later.

But there are, as always happens with hypotheses, opponents of the very existence of Phaethon: the opposing theory says that the asteroid belt near Mars is not fragments, but pieces of a planet that failed to form (as the big bang theory says, all the planets were once rarefied matter until they formed into real objects due to collapse).

In astrology

Along with other celestial bodies in astrology, the asteroid Vesta also has its own meaning. Astrologers define it as serving the highest ideals, the desire not to create something new, but to renew, revive the old. In a negative sense - to block the road to renewal.

Vesta, Juno, Lada, Eros, Phaedra - all these are asteroids of the love series. Their main meaning is connected and reflected in the love life of a person. What does the asteroid Vesta mean in the list of influences on you celestial bodies love line? That you will have to keep chastity in the name of a higher goal, sacrifice your intimate life, and not always voluntarily.

At the same time, it is necessary to understand that separately asteroids do not have a global significance in astrology, they can only be "shades", only additional, specifying sources of information.

Modern research

In 2007, the Dawn space station was launched, one of its probes explored the asteroid Vesta in 2011 and 2012, but the data has not yet been fully used. In 2016, a huge number of ice formations were discovered inside Ceres, which gave reason to look for them on Vesta. But the amount of H 2 on its surface is 100 times less, which did not give confidence in the presence of water on the asteroid.

In new studies using the same bistatic radar data, scientists have revisited the existence of ice on Vesta. Having received information about its surface in centimeter resolution, they noted the variability of the properties and shape of the asteroid over the entire area and a little later established: yes, there is ice on Vesta. And it is he who is the reason for such heterogeneity in the structure.

These studies will help in the future to understand how water is transported in space and how to prevent its shortage in arid regions on Earth.

Observations from Earth

As already mentioned, Vesta can be observed from Earth with the naked eye. This is best done during a confrontation.

During opposition, the observed object is exactly between the Earth and the Sun. The object is fully lit and as close as possible. For example, on January 18, 2017, the asteroid Vesta approached the Earth at 229 million kilometers (which is a microscopic distance for space). This approach was possible precisely because of the confrontation. A photo of the asteroid Vesta is posted in the article.

Observations of the asteroid Vesta could be carried out in Moscow from 5 pm to 7 am. It was observed in the constellation Cancer with the naked eye.

In 1960, Vesta was already observed in Australia. Moreover, fragments of an asteroid fell to Earth. Meteorites were discovered 10 years after that, and their unusual structure and composition (pyroxene, which is usually found in lava) determined that they belong to Vesta.

Asteroid Vesta - the birthplace of aliens?

More precisely, Phaeton. If such a planet really existed, then many are sure that there was life on it, moreover, intelligent life.

In one of the images sent by Dawn, you can see what looks like a shattered disk crashing into the surface of Vesta. All people's ideas about the vehicles of aliens one way or another converge to "flying saucers". The object that pierced into the asteroid is just very similar to such a "dish".

Of course, this theory quickly resonated with the people. One of the versions suggests the presence of a highly developed civilization that visited the Earth, the other - that the Phaetonians, in general, moved to it and became earthlings.

Phaeton was used several times in literature: writers convince that the planet was destroyed directly by its inhabitants, starting a thermonuclear war.

Vesta's chastity is associated with the sign of Virgo, but she also has an affinity with the sign of Scorpio. In the original Zodiac of Assyrian culture there was no constellation of Libra: Virgo was followed by Scorpio, and what later became Libra were the claws of Scorpio. The symbols of Virgo and Scorpio are similar, only the sign of Virgo is directed inward, and Scorpio is directed outward. The Great Mother Goddess symbolized both the chastity of the Virgin and the marriage of Scorpio at the same time. And only in a patriarchal culture did the Libra marriage sign create an artificial division of female roles (virginity before marriage and sexuality after). The discovery of Vesta shows the possibility of combining these two themes in one archetype.

The Vestals of late Rome appear before us as nuns, engaged only in work and religious service, whose life is devoid of personal relationships. This image has come down to us as the image of an old maid. However, this interpretation does not work in horoscopes: we often find a good position of Vesta in sexually active women and men. However, this sexuality is not limited to the traditional family, but refers to the ancient rituals of the priestesses of Vesta, who used their sexuality not to find a husband, but to serve the moon goddess and bless those who are devoted to her. Their sexual idealism aims to achieve ecstatic states. Modern society still does not understand the purity of such motivation.

People like Vesta are highly sensitive to the sexual needs of a woman, while at the same time their nature encourages them to remain in themselves and avoid long-term attachments. Such people may express open rebellion against traditional mores, followed by feelings of guilt and remorse for their actions. The pathology associated with Vesta is the association of sex with fear (the horror of the Great Mother described by Freud).

In the Olympic family, Vesta is considered the eldest child of Saturn. Its relationship with Saturn confirms the fact that they rule the earth signs of Virgo and Capricorn. Both express the principles of limitation, limit, focus, and mission. The sexual restrictions reflected by Vesta are like the intense aspects of Saturn to Venus and Mars. Mars affected by Vesta may reflect physical or psychological impotence. Aggression can serve as compensation. The defeat of Venus or Juno may indicate a woman's frigidity or that she feels incapable of love. Compensation can be feigned independence. In both cases, the defeat of Vesta indicates an inability to share oneself with others (to give oneself to another). At the same time, the potential partner appears to be a rude, demanding tyrant.

In general, Vesta reflects the principle of sex as a means of spiritual service. However, in the modern soul, it often presents a wide range of sexual difficulties resulting from the suppression of natural instincts.

In Leo, sexual energy works as the creative principle of self-reproduction. In Virgo, the energy of reproduction is used spiritually for the sake of transformation and renewal of oneself. Through Vesta, the transition from Leo to Virgo is carried out. The Vesta type can sublimate and transform sexual energy into one-pointed focus and dedication to work. Virginity implies perfection in oneself, self-control and self-sufficiency. Therefore, it is not barren, but very fruitful. To renew their purity and wholeness, the Vestal Virgins bathed in sacred springs and withdrew into themselves, and transits to Vesta may mark a time of inner purification and reintegration.

As the principle of focus, Vesta collects energy and directs it to one point. With Vesta afflicted, the focus may be blurry and vague, or, at the other extreme, be overly defined and give rise to a narrow and limited vision of the world. Through self-determination, man is able to dedicate himself to a goal. The defeat of Vesta may indicate that a person is afraid to make commitments or is unable to fulfill them. Vesta can also mean the work of a person in the sense of his path, the fulfillment by him of his dharma. This focus goes beyond the personal and extends to society and the planet. If a person is unable to perform this type of work, it can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. Thus, Vesta also indicates the sacrifices that a person must make in order to follow the chosen path.

Describes 12 styles of focus, commitment, and what we must give up in order to fulfill our life purpose. She also describes a way of handling sexual energy: its freedom, sublimation or suppression.

Vesta in houses indicates an area of ​​obligation or commitment, as well as an area of ​​limitation.

Vesta in houses

Vesta in 1 house

Through a strong focus on self-determination or pursuing one's own goals, there may be a tendency to exclude long-term relationships from one's life. One-pointedness and abstinence can lead to significant gains. Loyalty to yourself.

Vesta in the 2nd house

The ability to generate resources to provide and support yourself and loved ones. There may be limits in money, comfort and feelings so that the tension created leads to the study of the art of self-manifestation.

Vesta in the 3rd house

The purpose of an advanced mind is to spread information to others. There may be restrictions in communication in order to clarify one's own ideas. If a person is critical of himself, he may experience a feeling of inferiority of his intellect. This position is characterized by work with the intellect.

Vesta in the 4th house

Devotion to home and family. Often, the additional responsibility in the home in youth develops into responsibilities towards the family later. Such a person may experience limitations in personal freedom because of these obligations. An efficient and skilled approach to household chores is required.

Vesta in the 5th house

A call to personal creative expression - in children or art forms. Alienation from children, romance, and pleasure may be present. Due to the excessive sublimation of sexual energy, barriers may arise in this area. There is a need for a creative profession or something that puts a person in the spotlight.

Vesta in the 6th house

Dedication to work and efficient functioning. Health problems can draw attention to self-medication, nutritional care, and bodily exercise. The incentive to improve can lead to very good performance.

Vesta in the 7th house

A call to work in cooperation. Since Vesta craves self-fulfillment and independence, conflict can arise in cases where a compromise is required. Often a person is overly absorbed in interaction.

Vesta in the 8th house

A call to psychic and occult activities or deep engagement with others. It may also be difficult for such people to find someone who matches their sexual intensity, and thus they may feel limited in this area. Difficulties with others over the distribution of resources - money and energy - can lead to learning the ability to give up personal desires and share property.

Vesta in the 9th house

A call to seek the truth. Too much focus on a belief system can lead to political or religious bigotry. Limitation of breadth of horizons. The ideal image must be found in the material world.

Vesta in the 10th house

Devotion to a career or position in society. Being close to the MC can indicate a spiritual calling. There may be difficulty in finding a satisfying destination and path if critical faculties are developed. Potential talents are monstrous discipline, thoroughness, and the will to work hard.

Vesta in the 11th house

A call to group interaction. There may be restrictions in friends or companies, and from this a person understands the value of others in his life. There is a need to merge hopes and desires together so that a person can devote himself to the ideal.

Vesta in the 12th house

Dedication to selfless service and adherence to spiritual values. There is a strong subconscious need for isolation and withdrawal in order to develop deep faith. Persecution for religious beliefs or fear of past mistakes can cause fear of penetration into the spiritual nature. There may be subconscious sexual fears and barriers that are overcome by connecting the desire for the infinite with a practical appreciation of the physical world and its limitations.

The second largest and brightest object in the main asteroid belt is called Vesta. If not for the most powerful collision in antiquity, Vesta would have been classified as a dwarf planet.
Discovery history

As with the discovery of all main belt asteroids, the history of Vesta's discovery began with the search for the missing planet in orbit between Mars and Jupiter (which can be found in more detail in the main asteroid belt article). Vesta was first discovered by the German astronomer Heinrich Olbers in 1807. The name of the new object in the solar system, with the permission of Olbers, was given by another German astronomer of that time - Karl Gauss. He chose the name Vesta, after the ancient Roman goddess of the home and hearth.
Asteroid characteristics
The generally accepted designation of asteroids suggests that the name of the object is preceded by its serial number, in the order in which the asteroids were discovered. Vesta was the fourth discovered object in the main belt, therefore its designation is (4) Vesta. Vesta is the most massive asteroid in the main asteroid belt, accounting for 9% of the mass of the entire main belt. But Vesta is smaller than (2) Pallas and the dwarf planet Ceres. The diameter of the asteroid is 560 km. At the same time, Vesta is the brightest object in the main asteroid belt, even brighter than Ceres, whose diameter is almost 2 times that of Vesta. The surface of the asteroid is covered in basaltic rocks, similar to those that erupt from volcanoes on Earth. Such rocks have a higher light reflectance than the carbonaceous minerals that cover Ceres. Therefore, Vesta is brighter than Ceres and other main belt asteroids. Despite its small size, Vesta can be observed even with the naked eye on a dark night away from artificial lighting.
Vesta's orbit lies in the inner region of the main asteroid belt. The average distance from the Sun is 2.4 astronomical units. One revolution around the Sun takes 3.6 Earth years, and one revolution around its axis takes 5 hours and 20 minutes. Temperatures on the asteroid's surface range from -190°C in winter and can rise to -3°C in summer.
The shape of Vesta is close to spherical and would have been if there had not been two powerful collisions with other asteroids. It is believed that about 2 billion years ago, Vesta survived the first collision. The crater formed from this impact is called Veneneia. Its diameter is about 400 km. A little less than a billion years later, Vesta experienced another, more powerful collision. The result was the impact crater Resilvia, with a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the asteroid itself - 500 km. The depth of the crater is 19 km, and in the center there is a peak 23 km high from the base of the crater. The impact was so strong that furrows formed on the equator of the asteroid due to the compression of the rock. Their length is 465 km, and the average width is about 10 km, in depth they can reach 5 km. (In the video below.)
So, if it were not for the impact craters that disfigured the appearance of the asteroid, today Vesta would be classified as a dwarf planet.
The collision of Vesta with another asteroid allowed scientists to study the internal composition of Vesta even before the Dawn spacecraft entered its orbit in 2011. The fact is that a large amount of debris was thrown into outer space from the impact. It is estimated that Vesta has lost about 1% of its volume. These fragments subsequently fell on other bodies of the solar system and on the Earth in the form of meteorites. Studying the chemical composition of these meteorites allowed scientists to speculate that Vesta is a protoplanet (the embryo of a planet). Her inner chemical composition similar to the earth.
Young Vesta had a sufficient amount of internal heat, its bowels were melted as a result of the decay of heavy radioactive elements. In addition, a process of internal differentiation took place, when heavy elements move to the center of a celestial body, and lighter ones are displaced closer to the surface. The molten core of a young asteroid and further differentiation of the bowels allow us to speak about the planetary structure of Vesta.
Throughout the history of the solar system, asteroids with a metallic core have been destined to break up due to collisions with other objects. As a result, many smaller bodies formed. And only Vesta was lucky enough to survive to this day in almost original form. Thus, Vesta is the only representative of protoplanets that has survived to this day, from which such planets as Earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury subsequently formed. Vesta is an excellent object for studying the processes that took place in the protoplanets of the young solar system.

A computer model made on the basis of images obtained from NASA's Dawn spacecraft. On video:
1. Furrows of Diwalia formed as a result of a collision with another cosmic body.
2. Marcia crater, the largest crater in the snowman series, 58 km in diameter.
3. Dome of Aricia, 5 km high and 39 km in diameter.

P.S. New cosmic oddities were discovered by the tireless seeker of alien artifacts Joseph Skipper (Joseph P. Skipper, Investigator). He and his many colleagues - virtual archaeologists - are looking for unusual objects, examining in detail the images from other planets and other celestial bodies posted on official websites. And they find.
This time, the attention of "archaeologists" was attracted by the asteroid Vesta - the second largest in the solar system. Its diameter is 550 kilometers. Almost a planet.
Vesta is located between Mars and Jupiter - in the asteroid belt. And according to one of the very popular hypotheses, this belt is the remains of the collapsed planet Phaeton. And on it - this is already according to another hypothesis - once there was life. Perhaps even reasonable. That is, with local residents who have reached a high level of development. It seems that Skipper and colleagues have found confirmation of this fantasy. They saw the remains of two technical objects at once on Vesta.

Near the asteroid is now the American automatic probe "Dawn" (Dawn), which approached him on December 12, 2011. The probe transmits high-resolution images to Earth. NASA publishes them on its official website (NASA Photojournal).

So, in one of the pictures we managed to make out a disk partially hidden under a layer of soil. And partially destroyed. The object is very similar to a "flying saucer" that crashed. In our repose, of course, about "flying saucers".

Vesta in the horoscope is associated with the sign of Virgo, but it also has an affinity with the sign of Scorpio. In the original Zodiac of Assyrian culture there was no constellation of Libra: Virgo was followed by Scorpio, and what later became Libra were the claws of Scorpio.

The symbols of Virgo and Scorpio are similar, only the sign of Virgo is directed inward, and Scorpio is directed outward.

Vesta in the signs of the horoscope

Vesta in Aries

People work with a strong commitment to the cause. Motivation comes from within and they work better on their own and with their own ideas. Excesses occur if a person is so involved in the whirlpool of his activity that he leaves no room for others to participate in it. Finding this place can lead to wonderful personal accomplishments.

Vesta in Taurus

Better energy focusing in steady state. They are persistent and constant, like rocks, if they see tangible results of their efforts. Difficulties arise because of their inflexibility. Sexuality is based on the natural release of natural instincts. If there is no sexual satisfaction, sexuality can be stressful. A pragmatic, though acceptable approach to sexuality and comfort requires a material justification.

Vesta in Gemini

Concentration is facilitated by the spoken word and the information received. Good coordination. Alienation occurs through excessive intellectualization and the loss of the meaning of words. Mental exchange means a lot in sexual relationships. However, these people also tend to use words to create distance between themselves and others. The mind should not be allowed to dominate the emotions.

Vesta in Cancer

For an active business, a person must feel needed by others. The sympathetic connection with families and those who depend on them allows them to open the tap of the reservoir of working energy. Due to emotional hypersensitivity, withdrawal into oneself is possible, which is caused by the desire to protect oneself from real or imagined dangers from others.

Sexual satisfaction comes when a person feels loved and treated. And the feeling of insecurity encourages a break in relations. Relationships require emotional stability.

Vesta in Leo

A person works best when he is given creative freedom. The desire to be proud of your work aims at the desire to beautifully present the result. Since this person is radiant, alienation can arise if his brilliance is<сжигать>surrounding, as well as from her arrogance and arrogance. Romanticism and admiration evoke a sexual response. However, sexuality is restrained if the energy of reproduction is directed only to one's creative efforts.

Vesta in Virgo

Strong concentration at work. The incentive is the desire for improvement. The tendency to be overwhelmed and the habit of criticizing removes from others. Sex is seen as a service to the comfort of another or as a duty. The natural response may be hindered by the shortcomings of others. With the harmonization of this moment, a much greater efficiency in activity is achieved (Martin Luther).

Vesta in Libra

A person prefers to work with others more than on his own. He is trying to recruit others and benefit from their contributions. But since Libras need to compare themselves to others, there is a strong moment of competition. The need to be recognized as an equal and reproaches about<взятого и отданного>- an important factor in sexual relationships.

However, since there is a need to be accepted and admired, a person is forced to put aside his own needs and desires. It is vital to achieve the necessary balance between personal inclinations and the preferences of others.

Vesta in Scorpio

Such people often seek depth and are cautious in all ventures. Sex is seen as the ultimate experience despite all social taboos. On the other hand, the individual may have feelings of guilt, sin, and shame that drive him to repress his sexuality. The strongest concentration and devotion are available.

Vesta in Sagittarius

A person concentrates well when he is working for something he believes in. The ideal awakens his energy to work. Alienation occurs if he propagates his own view, regardless of the beliefs of others. The search for truth or adventure stimulates sexual activity, a lack of honesty can undermine relationships. These people can also turn sexual impulses into action. The mixture of these aspects forms practical idealists and mystics who are traumatized by the material world.

Vesta in Capricorn

It is best to work in a disciplined and consistent manner. Effort at work is often motivated by ambition or the desire to succeed. The ability to formulate and execute plans leads to success in administrative work. Adherence to rules and regulations can lead to excessive rigidity. Responsibility is necessary for the completeness of sexual relationships.

There may be fear of sexual intimacy or emotionality if it is associated with a critical approach or loss of power and control. Great strides can be made. These people expect success through the repayment of their debts.

Vesta in Aquarius

It is best for a person to work for a humanistic, social or political motivation: the ideal of freedom for oneself and others. Alienation can occur due to insufficient attention to the needs of loved ones. Often there is rebellion towards the figures of authority. The sexual response stimulates the unusual, and the person engages in sexual relationships with friends on a non-commercial and non-responsible basis.

Vesta in Pisces

The soul receives energy to work in service to others. There is a difficulty in finding the point of application of one's forces due to the vagueness of the goals. Such a person can play the role of a martyr and make others feel guilty for his suffering. The ability to heal others through sexual interaction or the sublimation of sexuality into spiritual realization.

A person may feel that his sexuality belongs to all who need it, and that no one alone has a right to it. Mixing dream and reality, in poetry and in practice.

Demeter George, astrologer

Asteroid Vesta was discovered on March 29, 1807 by Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers and is one of the brightest asteroids that can be observed from Earth on a clear night. It is located in the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. This asteroid has always attracted scientists, as it closely resembles a planet that suffered a collision with some huge object more than two million years ago. Despite the fact that the asteroid is almost the same age as the planet Earth, in the pictures it looks like a nascent planet. Usually, small objects of the solar system (satellites, asteroids), devoid of a magnetic field and not protected by a powerful atmosphere, inevitably “age” from the effects of cosmic dust, meteorite impacts, solar wind. But for some reason, the surface of this asteroid looks like that of a young planet that has not undergone cosmic weathering (darkening of the surface). To solve all these mysteries, more accurate information was needed than that which is available only through a telescope. And on September 27, 2007, NASA's Dawn space probe was launched - the first space mission to Vesta. Already on June 1, 2011, the first images of Vesta were obtained by the Dawn space probe, which showed the rotation of the asteroid. On September 5, 2012, the Dawn spacecraft, having completed the collection and transmission of data, left the orbit around Vesta and headed towards Ceres. Dawn made 78 observations of Vesta, the highest quality in the history of such interplanetary missions. A surprising discovery was the discovery in southern hemisphere Vesti two huge craters, partially overlapping each other. The former has a diameter of 395 km, while the latter is 505 km, which is almost 90% of the diameter of Vesta itself. Also, noticeable gravitational anomalies were discovered and the first gravitational map of Vesta was compiled. According to gravimetric measurements, the substance of Vesta is concentrated towards the center, possibly forming an iron core. The axis of the asteroid is tilted by about 27 degrees, that is, more than the earth's (23.5 degrees). For comparison: the axis of the Moon, which has craters constantly in the shadow, is tilted by only about one and a half degrees. As a result, the seasons change on Vesta, and every part of its surface at some point sees the Sun.

Vesta. astrological context.

Vesta is the goddess who keeps the eternal and holy fire of spiritual development, transformation, purification and enlightenment. From an astrological point of view, it develops vigilance and responsibility, ethical concerns in a person. It serves to maintain life without taking part in life itself. Position in natal chart indicates those areas of life where a person can do something more and sacrifice himself for the common good. Where Vesta is, we must allow the other person to see what we consider most precious, but often, this is also the most vulnerable. If Vesta has a connection with the planets of relationships, then such people are always tuned in to a serious relationship, frivolity is not in their style. They would prefer loneliness more than frivolous and unsuitable partners. For example, the Vesta-Luna interaction gives a sense of belonging, and day by day after we meet, we share this feeling with those we love. Tolerate relationships that do not allow this, such people simply will not. In the dynamic unfolding of the horoscope, Vesta manifests itself especially clearly in such events as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child (a child comes to a family), a change of residence. Less actively and not always, Vesta is involved in the formation of instructions for the purchase or sale of real estate, travel, the appearance of a new family member in the apartment. This happens, for example, in directions - by aspecting Vesta with the rulers and cusps of the "marriage" houses - I, III, IV, VII, X. Moreover, as expected, Vesta both gives aspects from her directional position and receives them to its natal position. For example, in the year of divorce, it becomes on the cusp of crisis houses (IV, VIII, XII), has a configuration with Nodes, a connection or a negative aspect with the rulers of "marriage" or crisis houses. In any case, the use of the asteroid Vesta is additional important information when reading a horoscope.
