Traveling this Summer? Can you Write it Off?!

Welcoming Summer

As an Excellent Time to Create a Ritual in Support of YOU Being

the Very Best YOU -- You Can Be

The summer solstice takes place on Saturday June 20, 2025. This means the Sun leaves fast paced communication and curiosity-oriented Gemini and enters slowed down, for the purposes of being nurturing, (including to yourself) Cancer. On June 20 when the Sun moves into zero degrees Cancer, its movement is regarded as having a particularly strong impact because zero degrees Cancer is on the world axis. It is regarded with reverence because this takes us into a foundational point of experience with the potential for meaningful change that is global in nature. Obviously “global” means worldwide. However, it also relates to individuals.

There is a very personal potential for change that can be comprehensive, and, thus, significant in its nature.

Meet Vesta: The Goddess of Investing Who Calls on You to Be Nurturing Yourself

Historical Astrological Background Information

In the 1960’s a group of female astrologers were mightily disturbed because the astrological pallet included 8 masculine planets and heavenly bodies and only 2 feminine (the Moon and Venus). They decided to take destiny into their own hands and commandeered the direction of this profound ancient art, by adding the four Olympic Goddess Asteroids (Ceres, Vesta, Juno and Pallas Athena) to the mix. In this article I focus on Vesta because on June 15, just one week before the Cancer Solstice she commenced to be moving forward after having been in retrograde since March 21. Her name “Vesta” relates to her profession as a Vestal Virgin in charge of the ritual of keeping the fires burning in the temple. In both ancient Rome and Greece women who chose to offer this service were unmarried. Vestal Virgins chose paths of personal freedom and enlightenment. In astrological chart interpretation the placement of one’s Vesta relates to revealing in what aspect of life a person is likely to seek to be free spirit and to the best of his or her ability unencumbered with responsibilities.

Vesta, Enlightenment and Investing in One’s Self

The brightest asteroid in the Earth’s asteroid belt, that is located between Mars and Jupiter, is Vesta. With her name being contained within the word “invest,” it is understandible that astrologers have found a link between the placement of Vesta and “success” both practically and spiritually.

In Greek mythology, Vesta is the offspring of the Titans Kronos and Rhea. Her Olympic siblings include Jupiter, renowned in astrology as the planet of growth, expansion, prosperity and good fortune. Her sharing DNA with powerhouse Jupiter is noteworthy, reflecting Vesta’s own powerful traits. Her retrograde began

March 21, 2025. This marked the start of a period for deep inner reflection on devotion, commitments, and sacred boundaries. It ended June 15, 2025. Vesta’s forward movement signaled a time to reignite sacred focus, and move forward with renewed enlightenment, clarity and purpose.

About the Power of Rituals

Rituals are powerful tools. They anchor us in meaning and intention. Whether simple or elaborate, they provide structure to our inner world and create a sense of continuity in our ever-changing lives. A morning routine, lighting a candle with an affirmation, or setting intentions under a New Moon are examples of rituals that can

transform ordinary moments into sacred acts. These practices help us step out of autopilot and engage consciously with our desires, goals, and emotions. They bring mindfulness into daily life and serve as reminders of our values and purpose. In spiritual or healing contexts, rituals activate symbolic meaning, allowing us to

release what no longer serves and call in what we are ready to receive. When practiced consistently, rituals become transformative agents of self-awareness and empowerment—strengthening our connection to ourselves, others, and the greater mystery of life.

Guidelines for an Incorporating a Vesta Ritual into Your Daily Routine.

Materials: Five white candles (with the candle holders of your choice), matches or a lighter, a quiet space and any additional sacred objects of your choice. Timing: Choose what works best for you: Daily?, Weekly?, Monthly?

1. Ground and Center Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Feel connected to the earth beneath you and acknowledge the sacredness of the moment. Suggested self-talk: “I honor the fire of devotion within me.”

2. Light the Candles Arrange the 5 candles in a row. Light the candles starting with the 3 rd or middle Vesta candle. As you light the candle, engage in self-talk:“I ignite the flame of Vesta focus and purpose. May it burn clearly and guide me.” Reflecting on what your “inner fire” longs for, (Healing? A creative mission? A relationship?) light each of the candles that represent the summer months. (See the graphic at the beginning of this article.)

4. See yourself making positive choices, and taking actions that protect, nurture and nourish your inner fire.

5. Close with Intention Extinguish the candles slowly, thanking the flame and Vesta’s presence. End with self-talk:. May my life reflect my true devotion.” The Potential Positive Uplifting Results of Practicing a Vesta Ritual

 Clarity of Purpose: You may deepen your understanding of what truly matters to you.

 Inner Peace & Focus: By regularly tending to your inner flame, you'll feel more centered.

 Renewed Commitment: A Vesta-inspired ritual strengthens your dedication to self-care.

 Emotional Resilience: Rituals that honor your sacred focus can reduce burnout

 Empowerment: Vesta rituals remind you the most important fire is the one you keep alive within you.
