Sedna in Natal Astrology, Part 2

Today's astrology tutorial post looks at Sedna in the natal chart by sign.

For all of us alive now, Sedna's either in Aries or Taurus in our birth charts. One of the differences in that placement is that those born with Sedna in Aries may have experienced the fragmentation of her personal story as the story of their times, a metaphor for the firt two thirds of the 20th century. Those already born, or born soon, with her glyph in Taurus may experience her phoenix- or Pluto-like transition from turbulence into transformation as their cultural story. For them, she shifts from outcast and angry Inuit goddess into whole-world icon calling for change. For those born now through the end of Sedna's stay in Taurus, her continuing transformation into nurturing World Mother may be the story the tell around their virtual, or actual, campfires as the story of their times.

In NLP terms, those with Aries in their charts grew up in a world that saw differences first, as Aries would indicate. Before the energy overlay of the previous Sedna placement in Pisces faded into history, differences was considered suspect. (In NLP-speak, Pisces sees only sameness, no differences at all.) Nevertheless, change was in the wind. About halfway through the Sedna in Aries cycle, women in ther United States were granted the right to vote. When the Sedna Aries cycle was almost complete, various counterculture movements burst forth to declare in vivid color, in vibrant song, in lifestyle, in education and voting rights, that difference enriches, that Black is beautiful, that women have authentic identity in our own right. Angry, yes, but also vital, their breakthroughs paved the way for those with Taurus in the chart to have the world they grew/grow up one that sees sameness as enriched by diversiy.

And, yes, of course, all of us alive now lives through all these cycles individually, more or less consciously, each in our own personal time frame, since this cycle is "our time" and we're both "products of" and co-creators of our time as well.
