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.
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.
