Varda of the Valar, Creator Beings and The Lord of the Rings in Astrological Meaning
In J. R. R. Tolkien's writings contains character Varda who is the elf-like Queen of the Valar. Tolkien wrote the popular books that turned into movies like The Lord of the Rings, about a metaphysical place called Middle Earth, which is based on a clear dualism between the spiritual and material world. Newly discovered Kuiper belt object Varda was named after Tolkien’s fictional mythology.
The Kuiper Belt objects, and trans-Neptunian objects in general bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose, and quantum leaps into our consciousness.
It is up to each individual if they want to embrace this time of great change, and the potentials on offer, as there is a pentagram of change in the astrological sky made out of four Yods, with Sedna, Haumea, Varuna and Gonggong as apexes.
A previous article looked at the significance of the Varda trine Eris aspect, which has been in effect since before 2020, that along with the Eris square Pluto aspect, has played a significant role in our lives. Since the start of 2020, when CoVid took off, we have seen the rise of selfish, antagonistic people, who have always been there, hiding in the shadows, not showing their cards until Eris, Varda, Sedna and Pluto enabled the deep probing into the truth of things.
Who was the Valar of Almaren, and later Valinor?
Based on timeline, the Valar was present at the known start of Tolkien’s legendarium, and are not part of the most popular films made, like The Lord of The Rings and the sequels.
Among the Valar were some of the most powerful and wise of the Ainur, including Manwë, the Lord of the Valar, and Melkor, his brother. The two are distinguished by the selfless love of Manwë for the Music of Ilúvatar, and the selfish love that Melkor bore for himself and no other—least of all for the Children of Ilúvatar, as the Elves and Men became known. Messing with other’s creations that had integrity became Melkor / Morgoth’s mission.
According to Wikipedia, the Valar (singular Vala) are characters in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. They are "angelic powers" or "gods" subordinate to the one God (Eru Ilúvatar). The Ainulindalë describes how those
of the Ainur who chose to enter the World (Arda) to complete its material development after its form was determined by the Music of the Ainur are called the Valar, or "the Powers of the World". The Valaquenta indicates that the Elves generally reserved the term "Valar" for the mightiest of these, calling the others the Maiar.
The Valar are mentioned briefly in The Lord of the Rings, but were developed earlier in material published posthumously in The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth.
Scholars have noted that the Valar resemble angels in Christianity, but that Tolkien presented them rather more like pagan gods. Their role in providing what the characters on Middle-earth experience as luck or providence is also discussed. The males are called "Lords of the Valar"; the females "Queens of the Valar," or Valier. Of the seven male and seven female Valar, there are six married pairs. The Aratar or High Ones of Arda are the eight greatest of the Valar: Manwë, Varda, Ulmo, Yavanna, Aulë, Mandos, Nienna, and Oromë. Lórien and Mandos are brothers and are referred to collectively as the Fëanturi, "Masters of Spirits".
Eru Ilúvatar brought the Valar (and all of the Ainur) into being by his thought, and may therefore be considered their father. However, not all of the Valar are siblings; where this is held to be so, it is because they are so "in the thought of Ilúvatar". It was the Valar who first practised marriage and later passed on their custom to the Elves; all the Valar had spouses, save Nienna, Ulmo and Melkor.
This article looks at the characters connected to Varda the Queen of the Valar, kindler and creator of stars, in order to better understand the astrological significance of Varda, the newly discovered Kuiper belt object.
Many people have never watched a single movie made based on Tolkien’s work, and Varda is not a featuring character in the movies anyway. Those with Varda prominent in the birth chart, or by transit, or conjunct a progressed personal planet, may find this useful.
Varda is one of the Valar, whose passion for creativity and co-creation is strong, to expand beyond the limitations of their independent being. Her specialty was the creation of light illuminating Arda.
Varda was Lady of the Light, who was responsible for the illumination of Arda, for the benefit of everyone. She was involved in the fashioning of the two lamps, the two trees, the Silmaril gem stones and later, the luminaries called the Sun and Moon. In The Lord of the Rings there is a royal elf named Galadriel who is dressed in white, and may be mistaken for Varda, but is she is not, as Queen of the Valar, Varda’s very being was said to radiate of the light of Eru.
In the beginning before time, Varda turned down Melkor’s advances to become wife to his brother Manwe, who never could understand Melkor’s turning to evil. Melkor was enraged by her rejection, but also in fear of her specialisation above all the others, for he could not understand the mastery of light. Below is an image showing the two lamps that Varda helped to fashion for Almaren, before Melkor destroyed it all.
From living on the mountain Taniquetil, Varda’s husband Manwe (King of the Valar) came to realise that the Valar and Maiar were too powerful to directly involve themselves in the lives of humans, elves and dwarfs who lived in Middle Earth.
Thus, instead, helping and guiding them through emissaries, like the five wizards of the third age, and the scouts like the great eagles of the misty mountains. The stories of many well-known Valar don’t seem to have been taken up in the many movies that have been made around Tolkien’s work. However, this video mentions that among Varda’s many servants, was Ilmare her maiden (who was chieftain of the Maiar).
Varda is a trans-Neptunian planet in the Kuiper belt, and has one moon, which astronomers named Ilmare, after her handmaiden.
There was also Olorin, who later became the Wizard Gandalf the Grey (pictured above), who was sent to Middle Earth in the Third Age to destroy the ring One Ring, or main ring of power over others, that Dark Lord Sauron had created.
These Istari (wizards) are Maiar: spirits similar to the godlike Valar, but lesser in power and rank. Outwardly resembling Men but possessing much greater physical and mental power, they are called Istari (Quenya for "Wise Ones") by the Elves.
The wizards were sent by the Valar to assist the free peoples of Middle-earth to counter Sauron, a fallen Maiar.
Sauron had been servant of Valar Aule the smith, but became a defector and turned Melkor / Morgoth’s first lieutenant. Melkor had once been one of the Valar, the brother of Manwe.
Both Dark Lords - Melkor and Sauron - used what they knew, or had learnt form the Valar, to be their enemies.
Of the five wizards (who are Maiar) who the Valar sent to Middle Earth, only two play prominent roles in the the Lord of the Rings: Saruman and Gandalf.
Gandalf “elf of the staff”was known as the wisest of the Maiar, being the protagonist in The Hobbit where he assists Bilbo Baggins on this quest, and in The Lord of the Rings he is the leader of the Company of the Ring. King of the Valar Manwë tasked Gandalf to join the Istari and go to Middle Earth to protect the free peoples of Middle Earth, however, he did not want to go as he feared Sauron, but Manwë persuaded him.
To the right is actor Christopher Lee who played Saruman in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit as "a powerfully haunted and vindictive figure". Saruman the White is leader of the five Istari, that initially set out to help Middle Earth, named in The Lord of the Rings as Saruman “man of skill or cunning”.
But Saruman was also said to grow to hate Gandalf, and felt insulted that Gandalf received Narya Ring of Fire from Cirdan the shipwright; feeling that he was more entitled and deserving of it. A seed of jealousy and resentment was planted, that grew… It corrupted Saruman so, that years later he started to mislead, and trick the White Council, mock and imitate Gandalf, and extend his influence in private. Saruman had his own agenda and evil aspirations; showing that his decent was his own choice, and a product of an overblown ego and arrogance. Saruman would join Sauron (Melkor’s minion), and not only betray the mission when they needed him most, but as an emissary of the Valar, this became one of the biggest betrayals in the history of Arda.
Saruman’s character illustrates the corruption of power; his desire for knowledge and order leads to his fall, and he rejects the chance of redemption when it is offered.
The inhabitants of Middle Earth often came at the receiving end of multiple attempts at win-at-all-cost battles; to be controlled and dominated by an overlord, defectors, or those who became corrupted. But the destruction of Varda’s luminaries were felt the most, as is seen in the songs of lament the elves would sing to her…
Varda was most beloved by the elves of Middle Earth due to the stars she kindled for them, that brought them hope and joy.
Varda was the ‘bearer of light’ and inspiration to many, yet it is her creations that Melkor most sought to destroy.
Varda energy contain stories that carry great contrast between good and evil, and experiences of betrayal by those co-creators who are close. The stories also carry multiple elements of having to protect the integrity of the benevolent creations of the good, against the opponent who wants to own or destroy it. These are the kinds of people, who will use everything you give or say to them, and turn it, to be used against you. There is no gratitude at all, due to selfish desire being the only priority.
Messing with other’s creations that had integrity had become Melkor’s mission and purpose; creating paranoia and lack of stability for his satisfaction. Destroying everything that others build, because that is his choice.
Those who have Varda prominent in the chart, may have similar stories along these veins, regarding these utterly selfish individuals, who no matter how much you give, may put the metaphoric knife in your heart, to fulfil themselves. Varda energy is about the betrayal of a co-creating collaborator to serve selfish ends. It is about co-operating towards a mutual goal, and getting severely backstabbed, to the extent that it affects the very foundations of security and stability of a society. And having to re-establish elsewhere after a cataclysmic encounter with the opportunistic antagonist.
In a nutshell, Varda energy do carry themes of sudden massive collapse and death of the old way, having to walk away from previous associations and betrayals, having to look towards new horizons, and starting fresh new beginnings elsewhere.
The eyes are the window of the mind, and Varda saw right through Melkor from the start, which is why he hated her most of all the Valar. Manwe, Melkor’s brother, could never understand Melkor’s moral evil, selfishness and vanity.
Despite all the good qualities that Eru created Melkor to be, we can clearly see that divine illumination was a big problem for the Dark Lord. He did have his own light of a sort, but by his own mind distortions, bad choices, and indulgence in low vibration, we can see that what he chose to invest in, became his reality. Melkor created it for himself…
Melkor could not create anything new, but was only capable of corruption and destruction.
After Melkor had become Morgoth, the light he had in his eyes, was deadly and destructive, hence the comparison with a flame. If he could not have the goodness of the light, he would destroy it for all.
The despair Melkor and later Sauron brought onto Middle Earth shows how immense the need was, and grew to be, for the kind of light that Varda represented…
VARDA ASTROLOGICAL GLYPH
So envious and destructive was Melkor/Morgoth, that twice he demolished the beauty, radiance and life that the Valar had created, first by destroying the lamps and their home Almaren, and secondly by eventually bringing destruction of the two trees on Valinor (the new home of the Valar) as well. The online course titled The Pentagram of Change details how the discovery chart of Varda, has deep resonance in Varda of Tolkien’s story.

The Symbolism of Stars and Light
According to various sources on the internet, have multiple meanings, and many of them are explored in Varda’s fictional mythology. Stars are symbolic of divinity. Stars are often seen as referenced as divine light. Stars also represent hope, faith and guidance etc.
Trans-Neptunian and Kuiper Belt Objects in Aspect and Relation
The Kuiper Belt objects, and trans-Neptunian dwarf planets bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose, and quantum leaps into our consciousness. It is up to each individual if they want to embrace this time of great change, and the potentials on offer.
Eris in Aries and Varda in Sagittarius have been for many years, and are currently still in trine to each other at 24/25 degrees respectively, but Eris will take up a prominent role in the Haumea Yod as antagonist soon, and in 2025 Varda will move on to take on a new role in the Sedna Yod.
Initially, Varda in Sagittarius is not part of the pentagram (five pointed star) pictured below, that took off at the ingress of the Haumea Yod in April 2022. Varda is not part of the Yods that create the star, nor the Hammer of Thor aspect patterns, as she is travelling a few degrees behind Quaoar and Ixion in Capricorn. She’s out of orb. However, she becomes a star in the show, carrying the Sedna Yod far into the future. In late 2024 faster moving Ixion moves out of orb away from the Sedna Yod, and this is when Varda moves to continue the Sedna Yod in February 2025, all the way beyond 2030.
Varda in Sagittarius / Capricorn in the Sedna Yod
Sedna energy is one of the most strongest and most prominent astrological energies at play. We see this as the Sedna Yod was activate on 31 January 2020, when the WHO issued a Global Health Emergency.
Haumea at almost 28 degrees Libra was sextile Ixion at 29 degrees Sagittarius, making the Yod apex on Sedna at almost 27 degrees Taurus, conjunct malefic fixed star Algol.
The first support system drivers, Haumea and Ixion, are strange bedfellows, especially with Ixion bringing its reckless, no-care betrayal of others, not heeding the wheel of karma energy into the Sedna Yod. Yet, when Varda takes over as support system driver, along with Haumea, two potentially wise and mature forces take the Sedna Yod beyond 2030.

Together The Foundations of Change, and the The Pentagram of Change courses are designed to decode the dynamics of any of the Yods; the Sedna Yod, the Varuna Yod, the Gonggong Yod, and off course the Haumea Yod. Yods are named according to the apex planet.
Below is a variety of charts created for The Pentagram of Change online course, about one of the pinnacles in the astrological energies of the TNOs and KBOs converging:
Why do people feel like they are losing their heads/minds since the start of 2020?
Read all about the strange mixed bag of energies we’ve been having since the start of 2020, like the four Yods and three Hammer of Thor aspect patterns.
The Gonggong Yod is all about the massive chaos caused by floods, too much rain and landslides.
The Sedna Yod is about the respect for people, animals and the natural world being violated and betrayed, and how the natural world can come back to bite. When the WHO announced a global health emergency on 31 January 2020, Haumea in Libra was sextile to Ixion in Sagittarius making a Yod apex on Sedna and malefic fixed star Algol.
The Varuna Yod is about sacred law and order, justice and truth in the cosmos that needs to return.
The Haumea Yod is about the wild abundance and providence of nature that can be created when appropriate governmental structures support benevolence for all.
The MakeMake square Quaoar aspect is about is about the smite that the Hammer of Thor apex makes in Taurus smiting things Taurus, perhaps into oblivion. Curiously, both this Hammer apex and the Sedna Yod makes apexes in Taurus, which is the sign of the bull. Together they are creating massive upset and change in agriculture, the natural world, earth matters, and with cattle; with the recent threat of foot and mouth disease in Australia a great example of the manifestation of this energy. This Hammer apex will also be on malefic fixed star Algol, Uranus and eventually Sedna.

Adamus Saint Germain on What is Evil and Darkness?
Your darkness is nothing to fear, it's simply where your light has not yet been; reality that has yet to be experienced. In fact, Adamus says, "The darkness is not filled with evil. Evil is actually simply a distortion of light." There is nothing outside of yourself.
