with alexandra volland
Asteroid Vesta in the natal chart shows us how we move through the cycles of creativity: the phases of inspiration, where ideas flow naturally and even overwhelm us; phases of creation, where we can quickly write a book or get something else into the world in record time. The phase of revision, where it's easy and natural to go back to what we have and to fine-tune it; and the phase of rest where creativity lays dormant and we're focused on other things. By seeing how this cycle works for us and how we can facilitate it, we can dissolve and prevent Creative Blocks and schedule our lives around our own creativity cycles, which is helpful for both professional creatives and people who just are creative, with no financial recompensation in mind. It also helps us jump-start phases of creation or inspiration, to find motivation for the phases we're in, and to understand ourselves - which then allows us to build realistic expectations, rather than beat ourselves up for being who we are.
