Shatabhisha

Varuna is the Vedic god of oceans and atmosphere. As the sky and the ocean are boundless in nature, so Varuna is the protector of the vast ocean of consciousness – not only the individual consciousness, but also collective consciousness. He awakens within us an understanding that we are all connected together. From that understanding the natural sense of righteousness and non-violence is arising. Without this understanding, unrighteousness and misbalance takes place.

Varuna is the guardian of truth and righteousness. He is the Cosmic Judge and the lord of karma, who always tries to bring us back to the right path. Sometimes, in order for our earthly learning process to be successful, he also needs to give us back some of our less pleasant karma and make it manifest itself in our lives as disease, poverty or loss. Often those so-called misfortunes become a turning point for an individual and allow us to finally learn our life lessons and heal ourselves on a much deeper level.

Varuna helps us to reconnect with the boundlessness of our consciousness and free ourselves from the shackles of our own mind’s limitations. He inspires us to heal our mind from all polluting thoughts, so our inner ocean can become pure once again – and so the light of truth and Divine inspiration can shine through it. Because when our mind liberates itself from those limiting influences, the body automatically starts heading towards healing, too.

Acceptance is the first step in that process. People born under stellar influence of Shatabhisha nakshatra might often have a problem with that and may tend to be too judgemental. Varuna will be inspiring them throughout life to have a little bit more faith in Divine justice and to realise that nothing ever happens to anybody without a reason – but it is merely a manifestation of our karmic lessons and debts, that we need to pay and go through in order to progress in life.
