Sedna Consciousness: The Soul's Path of Destiny (The Astrology of the Dwarf Planets)

Discover the evolutionary spiritual power of Sedna, the new esoteric outer limit of our solar system and learn of the profound implications for society and for each of us individually in the coming years, as she approaches her closest point to Earth.  When a new Solar System body is discovered, clues to the astrological meaning comes primarily from studying the planet in a large number of charts to find common themes. This book is an attempt to do this for Sedna. Drawing on two years of research using hundreds of charts, New Zealand astrologer Alan Clay, calls it ‘the soul’s path of destiny’. Many astrologers believe that each new planet discovered represents a new aspect or level of consciousness that humanity starts to embrace from that moment and, if this is true, Sedna represents the weird new outer limit of our consciousness which is stretching our concepts of reality and is pulling us to look at ourselves as part of the very big picture. To understand Sedna, the book also looks at the physical characteristics of the planet, at the myth behind the name and at past cycles, finding a connection with the Ice Age cycle and with evolutionary changes on Earth. We also look at discovery events in 2003 and find a link with the emergence of neural networks, which is the basis for Artificial Intelligence and we find a link with Dark Energy and Dark Matter, which together make up 95% of the world around us. We take a look at Sedna in the signs and the houses and, in the last section, we look at Sedna in aspect with all the inner planets so you can begin to interpret this evolutionary planet in your own life. The book includes a comprehensive aspect analysis with all the traditional planets, plus all the dwarf planets including: Ceres, Pluto, Ixion, Orcus, Makemake, Haumea, Varuna, Quaoar and Eris. Alan draws the connection between Sedna and the centaur, Pholus, because they both have a 'space weathering' process that turns the surface of each red, so they both have to do with growth and illumination. And he links it with Ceres, because they both likely have internal oceans, so they both speak of a nurturing process. And with Saturn, because their daily rate of spin is the same, so they have the same day to day practical perspective and both speak of limits. Legendary humanistic astrologer Dane Rudhyar posited that there were three different levels on which each planet could operate depending on the evolution of our consciousness. Most of us are at the beginners' level and will manifest the energy of Sedna from a position of being buried in the dysfunctional swamp of density. Largely unconscious of the spiritual energy of the planet, at this level we’ll likely only notice it when it jolt’s into our reality to correct some imbalance in our lives by bringing illness, or victimisation, like the judder strip on the road, to steer us back onto the true path of our soul’s destiny. At the intermediate level, we tire of density and the grief it creates, and we start a spiritual journey to get out of the swamp. This is the key to working with Sedna, she wants to get us on a spiritual path, or for us to recognise the spiritual path we’re on. Then she hits us with transcendent crises, experiences which force us to let go and rise above them, resulting in a huge growth to a new level of consciousness. There is no choice with these crises and the more we try and solve them the more we will get hurt. At this juncture in human evolution, few people use their planets at the spiritual level, but such people are wonderful to be around. The well-known pattern with the other planets is that the spiritual level is vastly different from the two previous levels and this is also true for Sedna. Here the struggle of the beginners level is gone, as are the transcendental crises of the intermediate level. At this level everything Saturnian is meaningless and yet everything Sednian has it’s place. Read more
