The Astrology of Sedna - The Goddess of the Underworld

Sedna is an asteroid being assigned the number 90377 that was discovered in the year 2003. It has a diameter of about 1000 miles and is the largest planetary body located after the discovery of Pluto. It is three times further way from the Sun than Pluto is. Some astronomers call it as a Planetoid. It is the next reddish colored planet body after Mars. Hence astrologers consider Sedna as a trans-personal planet after Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Sedna is so far off into the cosmic sky that it is named after the Goddess of the Inuits which rules over the seas and is said to reign the cold arctic depths.

Inuit mythology has it that Sedna was a very beautiful young lady who was tricked to marry an evil man. Though her father made all attempts to save her, she died eventually and hence Sedna indicates the sacrifices and hardships we undergo in life. Sedna in astrological studies indicates the troubles and problems we might come across and how we can tackle the same.

The Astrology of Sedna

Generally it takes years of research and academic studies for astrologers to tie up any planet to any particular attribute. As Sedna has been discovered of late, not much can be said about its astrological impacts as of now. Some say, that Sedna can be taken as the ruler of the zodiac sign of Pisces in addition to Neptune. Neptune, much like Sedna is also related to spirituality, the oceans and the underworld.

Asteroid Sedna spends about 100 years in each zodiac sign and hence its effects are stronger for humanity as a whole and not much on a personal level. Sedna was in the zodiac sign of Aries from 1865 to 1966. This hundred-year period saw massive reformations for women across the globe. And in 1966 Sedna moved over to the sign of Taurus and would move to the sign of Gemini in 2024 when the whole idea of the cosmos is in for a major shift. Taurus is all about earth, stability, materialism and do you see a link over here? The next 100 year transit of Sedna is most likely to influence and bring about changes in our spirituality.
