Most of these questions do not have an answer yet. Sedna has been discovered for too little time - the astrologers didn't have the time to study it yet...

Hi! New to this site, but I like it already. Re Sedna, I find it fascinating, not quite sure why yet, but I think it's always interesting when a planet is named and why it's named what it is. Some background, Sedna is an Inuit Sea Goddess, who, to make a long story short, was sold to a birdman by her father, father was assured the daughter would be taken care of, however Sedna was very unhappy on the island with the birdman who did not take care of herand when her father came in his boat to fetch her the birdman chased them and her father got scared and threw Sedna out of the boat, when Sedna tried to climb back in, her father cut off her fingers one at a time to loosen her grip. Those fingers became fish, seals, walruses and whales. Finally Sedna also sank and was transformed into a powerful spirit, her home now on the ocean floor and now controls the sea creatures. Sedna now controls all of the animals of the sea. The Inuit who rely on these animals want to maintain a good relationship with Sedna, so that she will continue to allow her animals to make themselves available to the hunters. Inuit have certain taboos that they must follow to keep Sedna happy. One of these says that when a seal is killed it must be given a drink of fresh water, not salt water.
If the hunters do not catch anything for a long time, the Shaman will transform himself into a fish. In this new form, he or she will swim down to the bottom of the ocean to appease Sedna the Sea Goddess. The Shaman will comb the tangles out of Sedna's hair and put it into braids. This makes her happy and soothes her anger. Perhaps it is because Sedna lost her fingers that she likes to have her hair combed and braided by someone else. When she is happy, she allows her animals to make themselves available to the hunters. Animals do not mind giving themselves up to provide food, clothes, and shelter for the Inuit. Sorry, thought I would keep it short, but it's good to know the background.

Finally, this is the gist of what I just posted, it is very interesting that shortly after the discovery and naming of the planet represented by the queen of the sea I believe associates with the recent end of December tsumani occurence, along with the fact that a rare comet was passing us at the same time.

Glad to see someone else interested in this fascinating planet.

:D

Hi Baker and welcome ! :)

Thanks for the story. I did a little research on shipwrecks and Sedna at some point, but failed to reach at significative results.

Anyone can calculate Sedna's position online on this page: http://astrologyweekly.com/online-ephemeris/index.php

For instance, on Dec 26, 2004, when the dreadful tsunami took place, Sedna's position was 18° 09' Taurus in retrogradation, not related to any important planet in the tsunami chart, on Jup/Plu midpoint though.
