Goddess Vesta: Keeper of the Sacred Flame
In Roman mythology, Vesta, goddess of the hearth, home, and family, embodies the quintessential Capricorn spirit. Her energy is not one of flamboyant power, but of steady, enduring strength.
Like the Capricorn who builds a legacy stone by stone, Vesta maintained the sacred, eternal flame—a symbol of stability, duty, and the unwavering focus required to achieve long-term goals. Her priestesses, the Vestal Virgins, were chosen for their discipline and devotion, reflecting Capricorn's mastery over commitment and tradition.
