Sedna on MC in Venus Return

[Jennifer]

Hi Kim & all,

I just ran the chart for my Venus Return and noted that the MC of the return chart is 17 Taurus, a degree I am well aware of these days because of Sedna's position there. . . I have been paying quite a bit of attention to Sedna of late, as I am sure many have due to the tsunamis. . . but it's strange because I've known of Sedna since the discovery last year but hadn't begun looking into it in depth until about a month ago, at which point I found myself writing about Sedna, pondering the symbolism, absolutely fascinated by the story, and kept whispering the words "sea change" to myself. . . and trying to make the connection between Sedna and the fact she was discovered with Uranus in PIsces, right around the time that whale exploded in the streets of Tainan last year. . . .anyone remember that?

So I was quite surprised to find Sedna conjunct the MC of my Venus Return. . . which occurs tomorrow. . . and has 26 Leo Rising, putting that ever fascinating Uranus in Pisces in my 7th right near my Desc, along with Psyche and Amor. . .

Any insights into Sedna on MC of a Venus Return would be much appreciated. . . Sedna seems an archetype that never could find a real social realm: only the depths. . . people kept trying to assign roles to her. . . .

I'm going to pay close attention: in any event I am very alert to her story. . . . Venus is the ruler of my natal chart so I always watch the Venus Return, which interestingly, this year falls on the same date as my Mercury Return, linking the two returns, I believe. . . and in this year's solar, as in my natal Mercury and Venus are conjunct. . . so I expect to feel that blend this year. I have yet to look at the Mercur

Best to all,

Jennifer

I had to add this because it just hit me. On top of all this Sedna and Piscean Uranus on the Desc. . .

transit Neptune is also poised conjunct my natal Eros at 16 Aquarius for the next year. . . adding to the oceanic themes. . .

I am going to take up swimming. My boyfriend and I decided to start going after work, swimming. That's one mundane manifestation but that can't be all. . . I have been torn between form and formlessness lately, kicking all that around in my head. Boundary issues are BIG to me now. What constitutes my space? How do I maintain personal identity in deep relationship? What matters most to me? What do I take personally, anymore? Being a poet, these are important concerns to me.

Personal interests. . . . identity against post-modernism and new age abstractions. . .

These are my preliminary thoughts. Also, with all this going on: Pluto transits right on my natal Mercury-Venus. . . I better go swimming or I might combust. . . heh heh. . .

I will report any other insights, Sedna does feel very Pluto-Eros-Neptune to me, don't ask why. . . is it a genuine correlation or just me experiencing simultaneous transits??? Hmmmm. . .

Again, best
Jennifer

Thanks for the comments and input about Sedna, both of you.

Because she is so newly discovered, I don’t think anyone can say how Sedna on the MC is going to unfold. Perhaps there would be more awareness of the Sedna archetype in your sense of ambition, career, mission or profession. Perhaps you will gain a conscious understanding of this deity and translate that in some way to the public…she could rise up in your poetry, for instance. Or, perhaps not!

We just don’t know yet.

I think Sedna “feels” like the other outer planets all rolled into one because she is so damn distant. Three times further out than Pluto, remember! We are looking at some very very unconscious material here. Sedna’s realm is dark, frozen and vast. It may be difficult to “get a handle” on her in any personal way.

I don’t know if we will ever feel her distinctly, not consciously anyway. We may not be able to say, “oh that’s just Sedna conjunct my Sun...” not in the way we can say “that’s Saturn conjunct my Sun, or Venus…”

Time and careful observation will tell.

Watch your 10th house this year, and the house that contains 17 -19 degrees of Taurus. Record any changes in your “calling”, career, mission, profession and relationship to parents, authority. This is how we will learn.

Thanks again for your comments.

Warmly,
Kim
