Here is the link I would like to share on Varuna: http://planetwaves.net/smallworlds/contents/planets/varuna.html "One thing we can reasonably say about Varuna is that he exists on a very large scale and has the feeling of being so far beyond the human realm that he might as well be a deity-alien in a different dimension. But he's not; we know his name, we can see him in our charts, and we can get a feeling for where we are bringing that quality of totally-beyond energy into manifestation in our lives." ------------------ Out of myself, but wanting to go beyond that wanting what I see in your eyes, not power, but to kiss the ground with the dawn breeze for company, wearing white pilgrim cloth. I have certain knowing. Now I want Sight. - Rumi IP: Logged |

Here is the wiki page on Varuna, He is one of the sons of 'Aditi' and they are labelled "Gurdians of the directions" (another theme suggesting guidence.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varuna "Kuiper (IIJ I, 1957) proposes that none less than Ahura Mazda is a development from an earlier dvandva *vouruna-mitra. The basis of Kuiper's proposal is that the equivalent of Avestan mazda "wisdom" is Vedic medhira, described in Rigveda 8.6.10 as the "(revealed) insight into the cosmic order" that Varuna grants his devotees. In Kuiper's view, Ahura Mazda is then a compound divinity in which the propitious characteristics of *mitra negate the unfavorable qualities of *vouruna." Varuna,specifically, is the Gaurdian of "Rta"(In the Vedic religion, Rta (Sanskrit ऋतं ṛtaṃ "that which is properly joined; order, rule; truth") is the principle of natural order which regulates and coordinates the operation of the universe and everything within it.
here is th page on Rta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B9%9At%C3%A1 Rta and Varuna: While the concept of Rta as an abstract, universal principle generally remained resistant to the anthropomorphic tendencies of the Vedic period, it became increasingly associated with the actions of individual deities, in particular with those of the god Varuna as the omniscient, all-encompassing sky.[18] Although the Adityas as a group are associated with Rta, being referred to as "the charioteers of Ṛta, dwelling in the home of Rta", it is Varuna in particular who is identified as the "friend of Rta".[19] The connection of Varuna and Rta extended beyond the physical realm and into the sphere of ritual worship, with the sacrificial fire itself being lauded as that which "harnesses the steeds and holds the reins of Rta, becoming Varuna when he strives for Rta".[20] As James (1969) notes, Varuna attained the position of "universal Power par excellence maintaining Rta" and is celebrated as having "separated and established heaven and earth, spreading them out as the upper and lower firmaments, himself enthroned above them as the universal king, ordering the immutable moral law, exercising his rule by the sovereignty of Rta IP: Logged |

But i noticed that that Varuna isn't fast moving so i think that only tight/exact conjunct/other aspect is meaningfulIP: Logged |

Hi AriesSun I honestly thought i wasnt going to get any responses to this since i dont see much on Varuna anywhere. But that's interesting that your ex bf's Varuna is exactly conjunct your DC. This has been my expereince with Varuna but i would really like to know yours and how you relate to it. Especially what your relationship with your ex was like. Your varuna conjuncts your moon, somehow i can only interpret this as you having unbound spiritual energy. Do you ever get a feeling of being guided through cosmic energy because you follow your spirit in all that your do? I agree, you might also be right about exact/tight conjuncts with varuna being more evident as i dont know otherwise. I only have exact conjuncts. IP: Logged | |
