Sovereignty is a dance between our intention and the collective psyche. We have to claim it and at the same time others have to agree to give it to us. We have to say 'I can do this' and then do it. And other's have to agree, 'yes, you can do that, and you're the best one to do it'.
Once we step up, we have to keep doing it over time. It is this persistence that builds an audience for our work, or draws the populace for our kingdom. And this ongoing work creates a notability, where if people are asked ‘who to turn to’ for the thing that we do, everyone points to us.
And it is easier to claim our sovereignty when we are not wedded to the existing social structures and roles, but can laugh at our conditioning and free ourselves to do the thing that we want to master. Through the ability to laugh, including at our own petty habits and mannerisms, we can enable a deconditioning process, which frees us to develop our true individuality and claim our sovereignty.
Varuna also gives us a desire for justice and the ability to understand the Divine Order. When we embrace his sovereign demands, he enables us to oversee the world and make impartial judgments. To know what is true in any situation, and what is morally right. And this enables us to gain unlimited knowledge and become a sort of sage in some area if we do the work required to achieve this.
But there can also be a loss of power or status bought about through inaction in a crisis. This inaction is caused by a higher understanding that action is in fact not necessary. But this analysis doesn’t factor in the real political need to be seen to be in control. So, others who do act, are given the power in our stead.
If we are still at the personal planet level however, Varuna can give us an unfounded sense of entitlement which, when it inevitably doesn’t work, shows us up as being incompetent and encourages us to blame others for our own shortfalls. At this level we may be overlooked or demoted because of this incompetence and will likely lament our losses and hold resentment as a result.
Once we are on the spiritual path however, Varuna teaches us to stand in the center of our lives and own the results of our dance of karma and dharma without the need of outside support.
