Hello, and welcome to Vesta Aquaria. My name is Laura Donahue (many call me LaDonna, and I invite you to as well), and I’ve curated this space and named it with the following intention:

Vesta: In astrology, the asteroid Vesta represents your internal devotion, spiritual focus, and sacred space. Vesta is the Roman goddess of the hearth, or sacred flame, and she shows where you naturally feel safe and nourished, and how you recharge your spiritual, emotional, and energetic battery.

Aquaria: This is a feminine take on the androgynous sign of Aquarius that represents uniqueness, innovation, and collective individualism. The name suggests that your unique way of receiving, holding space, and observing your own process (and the process of others and the world around you) is in itself a sacred rebellion and innovative measure beyond the systems of control that we are collectively upgrading at this moment in human history.

Together, Vesta Aquaria means that your own sacred and unique truth is where you are the most safe, nourished, and loved unconditionally; and that this space is where you receive all you need in order to live your best life, be effective in the world, and channel the light that you alone were designed to do.

In studying my Astrology, and with guidance through Tarot, I’ve confirmed my lifelong suspicion that we are all uniquely designed and loved unconditionally. With no loyalty to religion, I am in service to love and truth, which I believe and refer to as God. In recent years, my study of Kabbalah has aligned with what I know to be true about the existence of a Creator; and I use this wisdom as I continue to learn it in my work as well.

As a child, I always found the beauty of life, and felt grateful. I also always found the discouragement of outside energies and felt compassion. Whenever someone would say or do something I perceived as mean, careless, or selfish, I would, as any human, maybe have hurt feelings or disappointment, maybe even shame, guilt, or anger; but beyond that I always wondered what made that person do or say the thing they did? What are they struggling with? Compassion has unlocked so many doors for me and I feel it is my gift to share with others. Compassion, as I have found it, is the key to abundance and success, and with any key, you must keep it safe with sacred boundaries and care. There are many keys, all to different doors of life: doors of love, doors of success, doors of health and vitality, etc.

I’m here to help you find and use your keys to unlock the doors in your life that have felt closed. The keys are in your Natal Chart, and Compassion is just one of them. Although it is the most powerful one of them all. Because without compassion, the power that our Natal Charts hold, is nothing more than words and energies that act as objects.

Self-Discovery is required for Self-Knowledge. Self-Knowledge is required for Self-Compassion. Self-Compassion is required for Self-Care. And Self-Care allows us to care for others.

We want the world to heal? Then we must heal ourselves. I’ve been doing this work for over 5 years now. And I’m here to help you.

You deserve a successful life filled with love and abundance. You deserve good health. You deserve functional harmonious relationships and career. This work helps you uncover all of these and more.

I look forward to connecting.
