Vesta in Cancer, Vesta in the 5th House

Vesta in Cancer

Vesta in Cancer needs to feel appreciated for all the work they put into a relationship. They give a lot of themselves, their time, and their energy. They need to learn how to not sacrifice so much of themselves. They were born to nurture and protect, but sometimes these feelings can go too far and leave them physically and emotionally drained. The Vesta Cancer paradoxically also have high walls up for themselves when it comes to other people. They don’t want to be hurt or face rejection so sometimes they don’t let others in. This can be useful if they are surrounded by pessimistic and negative people, but it also prevents them from living their best life and letting others in. They are very kind, helpful, caring, and compassionate. They need to feel needed which is a great trait, but they just need to make sure they are engaging with someone that will appreciate all the sacrifices they make for them.
