The discovery of the asteroid Vesta happened in 1807. Vesta was the fourth asteroid discovered after Ceres, which was the first one.

Vesta is the second heaviest asteroid and has on its surface two huge craters which are a result of mass collisions which happened billions of years earlier. The debris from these collisions fell on Earth as meteorites.

The name of this asteroid comes from the Roman goddess of home, family, as well as fertility. Vesta was also the protector of Rome and well-respected deity for the Romans. She had a temple dedicated to her which was placed in the Roman forum.

The Romans had a holiday dedicated to this goddess, named Vestalia.

Vesta was known for the sacred fire which burned in her temple without seizing. That fire was very important for the Roman people because they believed that it protected them from any harm. The priestesses of Vesta, the Vestal virgins were in charge of taking care of the fire and making sure it continued to burn.

The Vestals who performed their duties badly, were beaten or in another way severely punished.

The Vestals were virgins, chosen from young girls of the age of six to ten years, which needed to accept to remain virgins in the next 30 years. It was a big sacrifice, but also a great honor to be chosen in that position.

The Vestals performed rituals to make sure the harvest is good as well as to enhance fertility in women.

In an astrological meaning, Vesta symbolizes the manner in which we choose to handle the issues we encounter at work, the sacrifices we make for someone or something, our devotion to someone or something, our integrity, as well as the problems we have because of abstaining from intimacy and personal relationships or fearing them.
