Sedna
Sedna, a distant dwarf planet named for the Inuit sea goddess, discovered in 2003, is read in modern astrology as the dwarf planet of betrayal and abandonment, the deep frozen wound and the long work of surviving and transforming it, kinship with the marginalized and with nature, and the very long view. Read Sedna by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Sedna's theme of betrayal, the deep wound, and survival where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Sedna as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
