Astrology Tutorial: Zodiac Signs & Rulers, 4

What zodiac signs do Uranus, Neptune, Pluto rule? Look at the list in #1 of this astrology tutorial series to find out.

When, late in 2003, Sedna was discovered, the astrological question rose, Which sign does Sedna rule? Some people say that she might be the (secondary) ruler of Virgo. For those folks, the Virgo line in part 1 of this astrology tutorial series would read:
Virgo Mercury (Sedna).

Some other folks think she rules Virgo alone. That rulership may eventually be proven true, and though it's way too early to be certain, there's something very appealing to me about that placement. Virgo comes into her own as an adult when she realizes that her fabled capacity for obedience is best applied as obedience to the Still, Quiet Voice within her. As the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo completes the cycle of individuation, which has much to do with obedience to the still, small interior voice of Compassionate Wisdom. If the girl who grew into the figure whom Inuit mythology calls Sedna wasn't just being a spoiled brat when she refused to marry the man her father chose for her, then she was speaking the truth of her individuation.

Others speak of her affinity for Taurus, and I can make a case for both Capricorn and Aquarius. Hmm. And various parts of her story align with Scorpio, Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces, too.

Maybe Sedna, like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, has an ffinity for one sign but also ups the ante for all of them by infusing each one with a new level of meaning, challenge and opportunity. We'll see; I think it's true, but more research is definitely necessary.
