I’m entranced by the myth of Sedna… the patriarchal elements of cruelty and betrayal, the welcoming embrace of the healing Neptunian waters, the world of non-human care and comfort.

I’m entranced by the myth of Sedna… the patriarchal elements of cruelty and betrayal, the welcoming embrace of the healing Neptunian waters, the world of non-human care and comfort. It’s a story of loss, resurrection and sovereignty. It’s a story of finding one’s true identity and place, of belonging. I love this myth. It’s prominent in my natal chart and in my heart. It speaks directly to so many elements of my personal life.
Thank you for sharing, Dianne! I am curious if your connection to Sedna came from discovering the myth first or the natal chart placement. When we feel resonance with an archetypal dynamic, it is not uncommon to find it reflected in many areas of life.
Deities of the sea also connect symbolically to the unconscious and its primordial waters, to the shifting tides of our inner depths, to the calling we feel to submerge ourselves for renewal, cleansing and exploration. Do you feel any resonance with these themes as well?
The myth came first… I immediately recognized the resonance but it has taken much time and deep diving to come to any real understanding of personal connection. She’s my core myth… the one that unifies all my other myths, the overarching organizing principle of this incarnation. I am her daughter.
It’s fascinating to me that I instinctively used nautical metaphors in my journal entries for years before I came upon the myth. I still find myself speaking in nautical terms sometimes. I’m a child of the New England shores and feel rather bound up and lost when I’m deep inland for too long. It’s a claustrophobic sense that leaves me looking for air. As for primordial deeps, I have Neptune, Moon, and the South Node conjunct at the very bottom of my chart with Cancer rising and a Pisces MC. What’s odd to me is that it took me so long to recognize my personal Goddess. I guess we see it when we’re ready.
That's beautiful, Dianne. To discover a core myth can be such a powerful and expansive experience. It really can put so much in to context.
I do think it takes time to see all the pieces together. Or, for me, the most obvious thing can be so inherent to our outlook and disposition that we don't think to call it out or name it; it just is!
The Cancerian and Piscean connection is quite interesting. Cardinal and mutable water feels very balanced, the grounding and initiating energy balanced with the shape-shifting, transitional energy.

Thanks, Alyssa. It’s like fish not recognizing the waters they swim in. I often miss the most obvious elements of my own reality.
