Aspects
Descendant Conjunction Sedna
A bond is where the abandonment lives, or finally heals. With Sedna on your Descendant, the seventh-house point of the close other, the theme of betrayal, the deep wound, and survival is fused with partnership, so relationship becomes where the old abandonment replays or is at last met: a bond that takes you to the depths, an oceanic merging shadowed by the fear of being cast off, a partner who reaches what was cast off in you. You may draw those who leave, or find a recognition with another who has survived. The gift is a relationship deep enough to reach what was abandoned, a partner who stays. The shadow is expecting betrayal from everyone, or an isolation no closeness can cross. The lifelong work is to let a bond go to the depths without bracing for the next abandonment.
Lean in — Let a bond reach your depths without bracing to be left.
Watch for — Expect betrayal from everyone you let close.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads the natal Sedna conjunction the Descendant as the dwarf planet of betrayal, the deep wound, and survival, the one cast into the abyss who endures, working through partnership and the close other.
- Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche (2006)Tarnas frames Sedna as an archetype of the abandoned depths and what survives the unsurvivable; here the Descendant is where Sedna conjunction brings that oceanic survival into partnership and the close other.
- Greene, Relating: An Astrological Guide to Living with Others on a Small Planet (1977)Greene frames the Descendant as the seventh house of relationship and the close other, where Sedna conjunction sets the theme of abandonment, the long exile, and the sovereignty drawn from the deep.
