Vesta (Asteroid), Celebrity Natal Charts, and Asteroid Goddesses. This archival item is the 1994 article “VESTA: KEEPER OF THE FLAME” by Frances McEvoy, published in the Astrologers’ Newsletter. It outlines Vesta’s 1807 discovery, its 29 year orbital cycle, and its mythological roots as the Roman goddess of the hearth and keeper of the sacred flame. McEvoy defines Vesta as the astrological archetype of dedication, purity, solitude, and devotion to meaningful work rather than personal power or material gain. The author provides natal placements and delineations for dozens of historical and public figures including Marie Curie, Margaret Mead, Rose Kennedy, Maria Montessori, Anne Frank, Queen Victoria, Jerry Brown, Michel Gauquelin, Yasser Arafat, Angela Davis, and Helen Keller. A concluding data column by Lorraine Welsh provides verified birth data for figures including Mitt Romney and Pope John Paul II.
