Corporate Investments and Trading Resources Cut Down at the Knees? A Symptom of Sedna in the 29th degree of Taurus?
The heart of the corporate machine seem to be struggling in multiple areas in the last few years… being stuck between a rock and a hard place… affecting everyone…
In astrology, Sedna has a link to global trade and aspiring towards securing a steady supply chain of resources that humans need and/or desire, for a profit and Sedna is at the apex of a long running yod in culmination.
In her discovery chart, Sedna conjunct the IC in Taurus is conjunct the North Node of Fate, in the fourth house.
Sedna conjunct the IC relates to the most sensitive inner part of the human psychology connected to inner emotional life, home and family. It’s the inner sense of security, when the storms of life rage, as it pertains to access to resources. When this is threatened, there is a massive inner crisis…
Taurus is an earth sign that is oriented around the physical, grounded, material world. It’s about the economy, agriculture, finances, possessions, money management, and issues around the land. Taurus’ is ruled by the second house, which is the astrological house of SECURITY, STABILITY, and management of one’s own RESOURCES, where the eight house is the house of other’s resources.
The Node of Destiny is in the fourth astrological house and entails aspiring towards securing established home, traditions, history, and family wealth. The fourth house is ruled by Cancer and the Moon, and include ROOTS and INHERITED wealth as PROTECTION and SAFETY for the family unit to thrive as a result of sharing. This house represents all things domestic and what we envision a house to be, like physical shelter, family life, and ancestry. It’s about feeling at home, safe and at peace, where SELF-CARE is practiced and EMOTIONAL NEEDS are met.
It is the NATURAL RESOURCES as GENERATIONAL WEALTH of a community as is reflected in Sedna’ astromythology, and it can be seen as the foundation or core of a city or region’s resources, even a nation’s natural resources, that keeps on providing for many, even extending for generations as proud LEGACY, fortune, adventure and treasure.
However, Sedna has been in the last decan of Taurus since 2006 with troubles brewing for a decade and more in these areas.
Now Sedna is in the very last 29th crisis degree, which tend to entail the consideration of a culmination, or encountering the very worst of the negative qualities of both Sedna and Taurus. This include stubborn, entitled and extreme drive for revenue, materialism, greed and hoarding. It’s artificially inducing growth of assets and creating a monopoly of resources, and providing essential goods to those who need them, taking a tumble… It involves INJUSTICE and INEQUITY, in which one or more parties had been feeding off of another’s abundance, not paying them their worth, perhaps having skimmed off the top what is theirs. It’s evil-minded, insatiable, hedonistic taking of another’s energy, time, resources, heritage or savings, like chipmunks with friends. Conjunct the North Node in Taurus, Sedna energy is about the sacred abundance from divine life force of light, that is the potential for everyone when allowed to flow, as expressed through the visceral emotions, physical body and human experience.
Astrologers sometimes have trouble keeping track of the cycle of trans-Neptunian objects like Sedna, because the timelines are so extremely lengthy. Usually, when a slow moving planet, like transiting trans-personal planets Uranus, Neptune or Pluto reach the midpoint (15 degrees) of the zodiac sign it is in, the qualities of that planet and its zodiac sign become highly pronounced all of the sudden. Well, it is the same for when that planet or object starts transiting the third decan, and then also, when it enters the crisis or 29th degree.
One of the best ways to experience the potent energy of transit Sedna (or any of the other trans-Neptunian or Kuiper belt objects) is in the week leading up to a Sedna station to change direction.
Sedna has an undeniable energy that is can be described as CONSCIOUSNESS, the experience of DEEP REVERENT SILENCE, and AWARENESS, and this is experienced through the SENSING and FEELING (Taurus) of the very PRIVATE CORE CONNECTION to the INNER SELF (IC) of the PHYSICAL BODY (Taurus). Some astrologers would stop at this as Sedna energy in astrology, however, with it conjunct the Nodes of Fate in the fourth house, this extends into the cultural story of Sedna as provider and withholder of ABUNDANCE, as it pertains to NATURAL RESOURCES that a group of people depend on for survival. The way in which the Inuit of her time lived, and the way the decendants of today, and the rest of us live is very different. Even people who live in very rural parts of the world, or highly dependent on the natural resources of the wilderness around them, are in some way tied to the ways of the modern world, in terms of some portion of their consumables, or consumer items, sourced from the other side of the world… Sedna’s tale speaks of great GREED, fear of losing those essential resources for survival, and caution that humans should not take more from the earth than what they need. With Sedna in Taurus since the 60s, this fear of being without, and the GREED and INDULGENCE (Taurus) for more than one need, has seen the EXPANSION of INDUSTRIALISATION and GLOBAL TRADE to satiate that COLLECTIVE insecurity and DESIRE (Taurus) for those COMFORTS OF HOME and FEELING SAFE (fourth house).
It’s the misuse of the earth’s resources due to soul disconnect and spiritual poverty that Sedna warns about, and the call to take the shamanic journey to what matters more, something intangible, but real, experienced in the human body as HOME; divinity as soul incarnated in the human form for a short time.
It’s about finding real PROVENANCE, PROFIT and ABUNDANCE, that doesn’t entail behaving like crabs in a bucket… which is likely what may be revealed with Sedna in Gemini in the next decade or more…
Sedna Transits and the Culmination and New Beginning of the Sedna Yod
Oort cloud object Sedna has been in Taurus since the 60s, but entered zodiac sign Gemini for the first time on 16 June 2023 to retrograde back into Taurus in November 2023.
Sedna finally leaves the 29th degree of Taurus for Gemini on 27 April 2024, when the Sedna yod with new leg Varda is in tight orb. Sedna will be in Gemini until 2067.
This entails a massive shift in consciousness that we should be excited about, because clearly is old machine is not so wholesome anymore… and whatever course correction the machine attempts, is costing them… and everyone…
It is not succeeding at providing SUSTENANCE, PROVENANCE and SECURITY, when most ‘things’ that may be grown or manufactured at local level, are overtaken at market level by the competition who creates a monopoly, which means that some essential object, like a particular food, has to come from the other side of the world because the local market for production of it has collapsed.
For more detailed information about what Sedna in astrology might entail, see the Sedna blog, as those concepts won’t be repeated here.
To the left is a graph showing the astonishing synchronicity of outer and trans-Neptunian objects moving through the 29th degree of their respective signs. This entails these planets/objects aspecting each other powerfully during this time, in what this website describes as the Climate of Change.
The Sedna Yod with Ixion (betrayal and immaturity) and Haumea as legs has been in effect for more than a decade. However, due to Ixion moving out of orb towards the end of 2023, and Varda moving closer to taking over as leg in the Sedna Yod, in 2024, the Sedna yod continues beyond 2030. Therefore, Sedna will be one of the most important trans-Neptunian objects to keep an eye on, for the potentials for the future are massive… despite the situation at the moment, as Sedna (under the activated Sedna Yod apex) traverses the crisis (anarectic) degree of Taurus…
Remember that the shifting of an object like Sedna into Gemini is gradual. We may not see the changeover clearly until Sedna has traversed at least a few degrees into the new zodiac sign.
The Sedna yod with Varda as new permanent leg kicks off in 2024, and this injection of LIGHT should be very exciting… but ‘till then, certain things are in their culmination…
Recent Examples of Sedna in 29 degrees Taurus and Un- sustainability?
Other articles in the Sedna Blog has explored what Sedna in Taurus might entail. Remember that is work is pioneering and experimental, see the Ethics page if you have an issue. The following is a new look at Sedna, because in just a few weeks Sedna leaves Taurus for Gemini for good… This is not meant as scaremongering, as we have all grown quite accustomed to the many symptoms, that something has reached its limits and is going to change… with new exciting potentials in the pipeline for everyone…
Australia in Per Capita Recession ‘For Three Consecutive Quarters’?
On the 1st of February, Economist Leith Van Onselen said that Australia has been in recession per capita “for three consecutive quarters” due to “extreme population growth”.
“In the year to September, last year, which is the national accounts data is the latest data we have got, The Australian economy actually went backwards 0.3 per cent in per capita terms,” he told Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny. “The overall economy grew by 2.1 per cent basically because of extreme population growth. It didn’t grow fast enough to keep up with the population which grew by 2.4 per cent. Real per capita household’s disposable incomes actually fell by 6 per cent in the year to September … it is a very weak economy now.”
Australia currently has a massive rental crisis, with too much demand and not enough supply, which has been discussed in previous articles in the Sedna blog. Yet, Australia is still allowing an astonishing amount of new migrants into the country. These are new FAMILIES, who will be facing a massive crisis in finding rental accomodation as a STABLE RESOURCE (Taurus)
that is a FAMILY HOME (4th house). And if they have the funds to enter Australia’s over priced housing market, they will fork out heaps, perhaps creating massive debt and emotional strain for themselves in years to come. Houses are currently 30% more expensive to build than pre-pandemic… Australia seem to be saving face by keeping migration into the country extraordinarily high. Why? For the clear benefits. These immigrants will become taxpayers, over-paying to keep the status quo machine going, perhaps without there needing to come a day of reckoning, or at least postponing it. Sedna’s Inuit mythology is about living from the resources of the land SUSTAINABLY. In Australia, it is simply a situation where the wealthy in assets can rent out their multiple properties for high prices, that may create more financial difficulty, poverty and perhaps even homelessness for more Australians.
The Australian dream is about selfish hoarding, in an artificially created status quo, and not living sustainably, ignoring the needs of vulnerable low income earners who require affordable living.
It’s also about legally hindering sustainable solutions - like tiny home villages - with prohibitive over-regulation, that would see people in a STABLE affordable ASSET (Taurus) where they can feel the COMFORT of BELONGING, being SAFE, and SUPPORTED (4th house) in like minded communities, into old age, while perhaps on a small income…
The Home as an Asset a Massive Contributor to Inflation Within Australia?
Economist Leith Van Onselen explains in this video that Australia’s rental crisis resides as the main “stake” in domestic inflation as the fire continues to be “stoked” by record population growth.”
“Rents as well as the cost of buying a new home which has been pushed up by demand, etcetera … is basically a stake in Australia’s inflation,” he told Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny. “And that is being stoked by Australia’s record population growth because, effectively, we are growing the population faster than the economy can cope. Because of that , we have got really poor productivity as well as rising inflation.”
“The number one thing the government can do, and it can be very quick, is they can cut immigration.”
But why would the Australian government, the nation’s homeowners and wealthy stakeholders cut out their INVESTMENT in the status quo, to lose benefits, and to face the music? With Sedna in it’s own discovery chart conjunct the striving for the North Node of Fate in Taurus in the fourth house, there is an element of striving for find a stable place to call home, where a sense of EMOTIONAL STABILITY, -SAFETY and -NEEDS are met. With Sedna moving into Gemini, home ownership, or at least a collective agreement on what is fair to all, will have to be renegotiated. Why? Gemini is the sign of the twins. It’s about having compassion with another, and being so invested in each other’s wellbeing, that both understand the other. This was described in detail in other Sedna articles on the Sedna blog, and it is also visible in the discovery chart of Sedna, as Mars conjunct Salacia in Pisces opposes Jupiter in Virgo and makes a t-square directly on Vesta conjunct Pluto/Eros in Sagittarius in the 11th house (amongst others in the cluster). Curious, isn’t it, that the t-square demands pressure on home matters (Vesta) rooted in passion, desire and love (Eros) that need transformation (Pluto) in social situations as it pertains to the vision (Sagittarius) that a society has for itself (11th house).
Large Businesses Going Bust, Industries Dying and Iconic Retailers Going into Administration in the Zodiac Sign of the Bull?

One Australian business is going bust every hour, with a reported 30 businesses going under every day, with the construction industry some of the worst affected, leaving half-built houses and shattered dreams regarding building wealth, longevity and security.
Also going bust is hotels, restaurants, couriers, and mortgage brokers. These are the kind of institutions that used to provide the ideal and dream of stability in investment for solidity to society…
This video details that an iconic Australian retailer with A LONG HISTORY involving ROOTS and BELONGING is closing more than 50 stores with hundreds more in doubt as it goes into administration. The Godfreys vacuum store chain is blaming hard economic times for the collapse after close to a century in business. 93 years ago the business was started in Melbourne, but it grew to a large Australia-wide company, as it pertains to exclusively selling cleaning machines, like vacuum machines, accessories, steam cleaners, etc., with 54 out of 141 stores countrywide reportedly closing.
Australian Consumers are being ripped off by Price Gouging, Monopolies and Corporate Profiteering
Some of Australian’s biggest concerns are the staggering cost of living expenses and contributions to inflation.
Former ACCC boss, Allan Fels said in this video, that Australians are being ripped off by banks, energy companies, airlines and supermarkets, according to the findings of a 2024 report titled Inquiry into Price Gouging and Unfair Pricing Practices.
He used the words “near constant exploitation” and called corporate giants “out of control”, and the cause is “weak and ineffective competition in too many sectors”. Another video explains that the report calls for “it to be made an offence to charge excessive prices” and saying the “misuse of market power, is so harmful to people”. Allan Fels said in this video that the lack of competition for the major supermarkets meant that profit margins in Australia are a lot higher than in the UK or the USA, and that is due to there only being “two main players Aldi and IGA, to some effect”. Curiously, Alan Fels report came into media spotlight as the Varuna yod was activated by transit Saturn conjunct Gonggong sextiled Quaoar conjunct Ixion in Capricorn, making a yod apex on social justice and emotional fairness Varuna.

The Worst Traffic Jams of Resources in History: The Panama Canal & the Suez Canal as Critical but Narrowing Arteries in Global Trade
This Real Life Lore video shows just how reliant moving cargo ships involved in global trade, and war ships in the old war machine thinking of countries who battle each other are on the Panama Canal, and the Suez canal. Both the countries Panama and Egypt have become extraordinarily wealthy because of these trade shortcuts, and without these resources in healthy operation many would be in great trouble, with future’s uncertain.
Both these routes have been experiencing severe challenges in the last decade or more, that seems to have become progressively worse, with huge economic repercussions felt globally. These routes and their narrow chokepoint gates carry manufactured goods and raw materials from their individual origin to a consumer market, and this is what is slowing down… This vast volume of ‘ENERGY’ that flow through these routes, makes SECURITY and STABILITY extremely important, and a core interest for multiple countries and parties, with vested interests in maintaining the PROVISION’S success.
More than 80% of the volume of international goods trade is done via sea.
Maritime transport is the lifeline of global trade.
Prolonged disruptions in major trade routes will disrupt global supply chains, leading to delayed deliveries of goods, increased costs and potential inflation.
Curiously, Sedna was in the zodiac sign of Aries from about 1865 to 1966. Rapid economic growth began to occur after 1870, springing from a new group of innovations in what has been called the Second Industrial Revolution. In 1858, Ferdinand de Lesseps formed the Suez Canal Company, and started in 1859 with the building of, with canal officially opened in November 1869. Ten years later plans were put in motion to build the Panama canal. These two important trade routes brought tremendous success for world trade.
Suez Canal Vessels under Attack and Revenue Tumble
Recently, the shipping vessels in the Suez canal have fallen under attack in the Red sea. According to this recent article, traffic has dropped 42% since Yemen’s Houthi rebel attacks, and Egypt’s Suez Canal revenues are down 40% in the last two months. This video explains how Yemen is wreaking the entire global economy, by targeting any of the ships that might be associated with Israel, saying that they will not stop until Israel withdraw from Gaza and the war with Hamas. However, the ships that pass through the narrow area that separates the Red Sea from the Indian ocean, has a complex multi-national ownership structure, and origin and destination are often different countries. Thus, the rebels decide at their own discretion who gets attacked, which is a flawed and unfair strategy. The alternative for ships who want to avoid taking a hit financially, or with missiles and drones physically, is to take the long trek around the Cape of Good Hope, which entails travelling to the very southern tip of Africa, and all the way back north, which is highly expensive and time consuming. This alternative route around Africa adds a staggering extra 8,900 km.
The canal is a NATURAL RESOURCE turned into a LEGACY that provide SECURITY and STABILITY to the fortunes of many powerful players from various countries around the world, that utilise it as a shortcut to save and make money in trade of goods. This is an example of how this resource is utilised to control other’s LEGACY for selfish gain; how one’s INHERITANCE is held ransom.
The Ship that Broke Global Trade?
Another one of their fascinating YouTube videos detailing how one boat caused what they titled “a $400 million an hour traffic jam” in the Suez canal during the peak of Co-vid outbreaks. The Ever Given was a new class of mega ship, one of the largest in the world, travelling from a port in Malaysia to The Netherlands via the Suez canal, when a sandstorm mishap caused the container ship to become wedged, and be a complete physical blockade for six days, and seven hours that would be highly pricey indeed… This happened in 2021 in a single lane that blocked all movement like a cork stuck in a bottle, with hundreds of ships carrying nearly $10 billion worth of trade goods becoming bottlenecked.
The world became highly aware of just how vulnerable global trade is, in relying on it to secure, sometimes very basic needs.
Another Real Life Lore video shows in great detail how the Suez Canal had been in a massive traffic jam for almost 8 years in the 1960s as Egypt and Israel could not get along, as the two countries that was separated by the Suez canal, each wanted control. War broke out to sabotage the Suez entirely.
The canal is a NATURAL RESOURCE of the topography of the land that provide both SECURITY, STABILITY and A SENSE OF SAFETY to the nation who controls it, which is Egypt, and is part of the lifeblood that keeps the nation’s DOMESTIC WEALTH afloat.
Panama’s Drought is Threatening Global Shipping
The idea of the Panama Canal suffering from water shortages may seem counterintuitive considering that it spans just 50 miles between two oceans, but it is a very complex problem due to the topography of the land. The century-old engineering marvel that revolutionised global trade, is being squeezed shut by drought and forcing vessel traffic to take the alternative route around Cape Horn at the Southern tip of South America, which is costly, carbon emissions unfriendly, and takes about an extra 18 days depending. An extreme, severe drought, exacerbated by an ongoing El Niño that is affecting Gatún Lake is to blame. Why? The gate locks of various levels of the Panama canal, utilises fresh water from the nearby lake to enable large ships to go in and out of various water levelling stages of the canal. With every repeat of this process, fresh water is lost to the ocean, but this is not the only problem. The levels of water in the lake is running out, and is cause for great concern for the cities and settlements around it, that depends on it for drinking water. Putting the material considerations and security of the canal as financial benefit, above the people, would be a massive hoarding and betrayal of everyone, as the loss of the freshwater resources in the area, are clearly also important.
In essence, the historic drought in Panama is limiting the number of ships allowed to pass and the amount of cargo they can carry. They are losing money and global trade is severely impacted, and the people’s drinking water is also at stake.
The freshwater which is a NATURAL RESOURCE of the land (Taurus) provide both SECURITY, STABILITY and A SENSE OF SAFETY to the local community (fourth house), and is part of the lifeblood that keeps the nation’s DOMESTIC WEALTH afloat.
Sedna The Cruel Mistress in Taurus? Really?
Who is the cruel hoarder of benefits that squeezes the natural flow of abundance? Who is the cork in the bottleneck trying to acquire and accumulate resources as their own Inheritance?
.jpg){kind=link}
This astrologer has seen Sedna being called the CRUEL MISTRESS in articles written about Sedna, many times, but really, who is cruel? The cruelty lies in the greed and selfishness in the heart of the hoarder who disadvantage others in their grab for ASSETS (Taurus) in over-indulgence and gluttony, to add to their own HERITAGE (fourth house).
This planet has become ‘small’ due to GLOBALISATION, so how can one justify overindulging or being like a cancer on it?
The problem is the lack of CONSCIOUSNESS, or perhaps lack of CONSCIENCE when it comes to managing the economy of RESOURCES that are a LEGACY of WEALTH, that can benefit everyone.
In astrology, Sedna entails facing fears with courage and compassion. Facing fears with fear makes a bad situation worse, while a pure and brave heart can transform the situation. The ability to change something from bad to good is true strength. Sedna energy represents refreshment and cleansing the heart and mind from limiting beliefs after trouble, becoming the respected alchemist. It promises restored faith and renewed purpose when we are at our most vulnerable. As we pour our faith and trust into our divine Selves, we receive healing and guidance through the constant REPLENISHING flow of the Divine, through the human.
