OK, I've mentioned Juno and Ceres, so let's bring this little tryptich to an end by looking at Vesta.  The symbol for Vesta is the flame in the centre of the hearth.  Take off the first 'h' and you have earth, take off the second 'h' and you have heart.  The heart of the earth, that suits Vesta very well.  She is one of the Roman goddesses of the temple, she is the fire in the centre, her main principle according to astronomical and astrological lore is that of focus, health, nutrition and devotion, plus a number of sexual complexes.  Whilst I concur with astrological thought on this, I would also, as a result of personal experience and evaluation over decades of looking at charts, suggest that Vesta is the major specific when delineating nerve and digestive disorders when older and issues of imperfection and rejection when younger.  Never going to be good enough, always getting better.  98% is good enough, if you or they had 100% you'd have wings on your back.  If you've a difficult Vesta in your chart, the single best medicine is to lighten up and take the pxxs out of yourself.
