I hope you are enjoying today's ingress of the Sun into Pisces. This month we will be more community-minded and more sensitive to the social undercurrents at play in our lives. This sensitivity makes it more likely that we are willing to go along with the flow.
The Sun is sextile Varda as it ingresses. Varda is our new planet of inspiration consciousness, who is in the last degree of Sagittarius at 29 degrees 28 minutes. Sagittarius is curious, and the last degree is wise, so Varda brings a curious and wise inspiration to whatever we are doing today.
Varda is about shining our light in the world. She is the interactive struggle we have with our opponents, or with the dark forces, which we win by being inspiring and hopeful, and by creating light in the dark times and places. She is the Star Kindler in Tolkien's fictional mythology The Lord of the Rings, embodying themes of light, hope, and divine protection.
At the unconscious level, she can encourage us to live in a rich fantasy world, which functions well, but which may however have little contact with normal reality. So, if you need to interface with the real world today, be careful of drifting off into fantasy. But if you have the time to daydream, this is be a great day for it.
Varda can also bring the necessity to indulge in strategic games or arguments. So, if you have to make some key power moves, your best approach today is to be hopeful and inspiring, because this gives you the ability to vanquish the dark forces you encounter by shining your light.
She can also highlight the need to get out of the toxicity and stagnancy of visions that have gone sour, so that we can regenerate and build new visions that have stability. So if you have been souring on your vision of life, this is a great day to update it.
As we develop spiritually, Varda brings light to the long nights we can experience, offering us a hope that can carry us through. So if you are currently navigating a “dark night of the soul” or any other “dark" confusing time, today you can likely find guidance to support you on your path of transformation.
At the spiritual level, she encourages us to look towards new horizons, and gives us the ability to walk away from previous betrayals and associations, and start afresh elsewhere. We're into the last week of the retrograde Mars, so if this retrograde is bringing up past betrayals to be resolved, this is a good day to let them go and walk away.
In her mythology, she inspired her people with light and hope when the Dark Lord took over the Middle Earth, and she led the Elves away from danger and through a transition to a new safer home. So, at the top level, she gives us the ability to inspire others and lead them through a transition to a new state of being.
I often think that inspiring people is perhaps the greatest way we can have an influence on the world, so I encourage you to embrace hope today and shine your inspirational light in the world.
Varda Early Scholarships
Varda is a very lovely planet to study in your chart, because you see and can embrace your ability to bring light. So I encourage all those who haven't yet looked at Varda to jump into this class. To encourage you, I have some Early Scholarships. Snap one of these up, to get the best deal on this course. Varda was our new planet last year, and it was our most successful course in terms of student numbers and positive feedback.
And remember, this course has our new structure with a choice of two Zoom times, giving the British and Europeans a new morning option which is proving very popular. And it also has our new Tutor support program, which provides small group tutorials to help those students who need assistance to complete the assignments. Wherever you are with your understanding of astrology, our tutors can help you participate.
Join us if you can on Varda and thanks for your work embracing these new aspects of consciousness.
Love and laughter
