Blinded by the Sedna
I'm not all that into the asteroids most of the time (I'll pay attention to a few major ones like Juno and that's kinda it), but I was looking up stuff about Sedna and well, found some stuff. It's OF COURSE on my seventh house cusp/Sun/Chiron conjunction...I should really just call that the conjunction of OW. And draw some kind of big stabby knife over it on my natal chart.
Sedna is the place where our parents fail us. They fail to teach us, either because of their own flaws or lack of knowledge or inattention to our needs how to navigate that area successfully. It is the place where because we lack a base of knowledge to work from, we are blind. We can not put into perspective the issues Sedna touches off in our chart. With work, we can transmute our understanding of this area, but it will always be a place where we experience loss and betrayal.
As a preliminary definition, this is how Sedna appears to work with personal planets,especially in the hard aspects.
Sedna/Sun–You have difficulty understanding why you can’t find your “place” in the world. Your ego drives seem to miss the mark over and over again, where you either go too far, or not far enough in achieving personal goals."
*sigh* Yeah.
"Every once in a while you get a client where nothing is quite right and then again nothing is quite wrong either. Everything on the surface looks good, home, career, etc. but there is an underlying sense of dissatisfaction you get from the client, something that goes beyond the usual Uranian and Neptunian sturm and drang of the mid-life crisis. There is a sense of opportunities missed or opportunities that never quite materialized. This is where Sedna comes in.
As mentioned before, Sedna appears to act like the blind spot in your life. In the area that Sedna sits we have a fundamental lack of understanding of what we are due, what we can expect. It is a resource untapped, because we have no understanding on how to use it. Often times, when we do try to tap this resource we get some nasty blow back because of a mishandling/misunderstanding of the energy.
Much care must be used in approaching a Sedna situation. Our instincts are skewed in this area and so we must plan a reasonable response and work the plan. Faith is the vital component here. As with all the transplutonian bodies, we are working with extra dimensional realities. We have no earthly frame of reference to make sense of the circumstances, let alone the results. Now that these dwarf planets have revealed themselves, we have access to their energies, but we have a way to go before we understand they work in our lives.
Because Sedna’s trip around the Sun is so long, every person alive has Sedna in Aries or Taurus. This makes it easy to find it in the chart, but it obscures the meaning of your Aries or Taurus point. With Aries you were never taught to defend yourself properly. Either you are unable to defend yourself or you go into overkill mode. With Taurus, resources were withheld from you as you were growing up, leaving you to feel like you don’t deserve the financial resources you need. Consequently, you over consume to compensate for these feelings.Sedna in aspect to the Sun–With Sedna in the fifth you always feel like your creative endeavors are not good enough. Oh you certainly try, but your ultimate disastifaction with your attempts leaves you with a sense of frustration. For you you must get engaged in the process and stop trying to judge your results. The same thing goes for romance, because romance is about a creative process as it gets.
Whee.
Sedna in the Seventh–Understand that the concept of partnership is formed in the early years by a having a bonded relationship with a parent. The parent has one contract, to nurture the child, the child another, to grow up into a productive human being. Somewhere along that developmental tract, those contracts were voided and as a result, your sense of partnership is seriously skewed. Either you abrogate your responsibilities to your partner or you take on way too much of the work of the relationship. If you end up in therapy over your relationship, listen to your therapist very carefully, because they understand what you need to do better than you.
Mine is skewed indeed. Yeah, can't deny it.
