planet Sedna was discovered in 2003. In this article I will explore the myth of Sedna and her significance in astrology. Sedna’s discovery was possible because the planet is currently at perihelion (closest to the sun).Eris was actually discovered back Although Sedna is relatively close to us, it was considered a candidate for the 10th planet until 2005.

This missing tenth planet has always been a fitting hook for the missing dark goddess archetype and exiled woman in astrology, which is why both Eris and Sedna resonate with the Persephone myth. They also share the theme of resurrection from deep, dark and desolate places.
Sedna myth
The myth of Sedna is quite terrifying. Her father was a widow who was eager to marry off his eligible daughter, but she rejected all his options. Sedna’s father was at his wits’ end and in order to punish her, he forced his erring daughter to marry a pet dog! Unfortunately, the animal actually mated with Sedna, so she ended up giving birth to baby puppies.
Her father, ashamed and frightened, threw her into the street. Feeling poor, abandoned, and alone, Sedna decided that marriage might be a good idea, if only with a comfy bed! So Sedna hurriedly hooks up with the first attractive and well-dressed man who appears.
Unfortunately, once safely married, the smooth talker reveals himself to be a terrible Crow. It turns out that he has no wealth, only a smelly lair. Sedna was beside herself with disappointment, but instead of telling the bony face where to stick the tattered feathers, she cried helplessly for hours on end until her guilty father came to her rescue.
Mr. Crow returned from scavenging and found that his loot was missing. He set off angrily and found Sedna and her father escaping on the boat. His anger created a violent storm, and in a panic, Sedna’s father decided to save his own life by throwing Sedna from the sinking ship.
Although Sedna is tenacious and stubborn, she will not accept her fate. She clings to the side of the boat for dear life until her furious father chops off her fingers one by one. Sedna had no choice but to plunge into the icy abyss. Sedna was deprived of everything, with only pitiful stumps left on her hands, and she simply hit rock bottom.
At the bottom of the ocean, Sedna realizes that her fingers are turning into seals and her palms are turning into whales and dolphins. Sedna becomes the queen of sea creatures, finds her purpose, and finally her peace. However, when her unruly hair becomes tangled, she becomes enraged again and threatens to withhold her bounty from the sea. All wizards of the sea know that in order to ensure an adequate supply of fish, they need to soothe Sedna by combing her hair.
As you can see, the story ends well; like the Persephone myth, it is about a rite of passage and eventual resurrection.However this time it is child She is too persistent and possessive of her parents, as opposed to the opposite of Ceres in the Persephone myth. The lesson here is not to accept yourself as a victim. One must learn to take responsibility for one’s own life, turn the situation around, and turn extreme negativity into extreme positivity.
Sedna Astrology
Here are some explanations I found online that sum up her for me, starting with the lowest vibrational Sedna:
“Sedna is evil. Sedna businesses will leave their customers in the gutter after taking all their money and robbing them of their self-respect. Sedna symbolizes drugs and prostitutes, as well as promoting violence and/ Or the product of emotionless sex. Sedna is so insidious and helps no one. During what Sedna calls “good transits,” one will make money – but the profits will corrode one’s soul to The core. Sedna would then eat the man alive. “ [Magi Astrology]
“The myth of Sedna may represent a woman who doesn’t want to get married, date a man, or even stay on Earth because she’s afraid of getting hurt—either an unresolved issue or her unfortunate past. Shaping, one will only continue a lonely life. ” [Lunar Planner]
“An encounter with something that was lost, submerged, or frozen long ago…in other words, our own ‘ice age’: the soul trauma caused by a father’s impatience, condemnation, dismissal, or anger; the living reality of unresolved rage Hell; the violence of suffering, the desperate and vulnerable things we cut off ourselves or others to survive.” [Melanie Reinhart]
“Sedna swims into your life and tells you to stop being a victim. The way to achieve wholeness is to recognize how you are stuck and living in the victim archetype, and then change that pattern by empowering yourself.
Do you like to say, “Why did this happen to me?” Don’t get bogged down in the “why.” … Sedna says we have all been victimized by something, such as patriarchy, discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or color. She encourages you to claim your power” [Lynn Koiner]
“The goddess Sedna teaches us that if we want to find the riches there, we must delve into the dark, cold places that we fear most. Sedna reminds us that for all our weaknesses and foolish mistakes, we are still worthy of love and respect, and have every right to expect and even demand that others treat us well.” [Goddess Gift]
