Lavandar’s path was awoken through a series of remarkable meetings, with the likes of UFO contactee George Van Tassel and astrologer Linda Goodman – and several others. Each one carried part of the puzzle, which she realized formed a larger whole: that we come here with a specific mission in life. Through her work as an astrologer, she searched for “codes” in someone’s birth chart that revealed certain people’s missions and she created a support network, the Starseed Academy, that would help these people along their path. Identifying and embracing one’s mission is an age-old invitation from the cosmos, detailed in the Hermetica, and the backbone of many ancient cultures, topics which Lavandar has explored in great detail.
