Saturn-Neptune sextile Sedna

I hope you are enjoying this week's Saturn Neptune conjunction which will be exact on Friday. I encourage you to be gentle with yourself in this intense time. This conjunction invites us to explore how discipline can coexist with dreams, how reality and idealism can dance together. This is a powerful time when the practical meets the mystical, offering us unique challenges and opportunities for growth.

You might find yourself drawn to manifesting your dreams with a newfound focus. Saturn's influence provides the discipline needed to bring Neptune’s visions into reality, giving shape to your imagination. This is a moment to ground your creative ideas, and craft them into something tangible and lasting. Aries adds an urgency, a drive to innovate and push forward into new territories.

However, this conjunction also carries its challenges. When you are operating at inner planet consciousness, the idealism of Neptune might sometimes clash with Saturn’s realism, creating tension between what you wish to achieve and the practical steps needed to get there. As a result, you could feel confused or disillusioned if your dreams don’t materialize as quickly as you’d like.

The key here is to balance dreaming big with taking concrete, realistic steps to bring those dreams to life. It's about finding the courage to pursue your vision while maintaining the discipline to see it through. Navigating these energies requires a strong foundation of patience and perseverance. Trust in Saturn’s steady guidance to help you lay the groundwork for your aspirations, and let Neptune inspire you to dream without limits.

For all of us on a spiritual path, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction offers a transformative spiritual journey. Saturn’s grounding energy combined with Neptune’s spiritual depth encourages you to explore your beliefs deeply. This is a period to strengthen your spiritual practices, integrating discipline with mystical insight. Consider building a structured spiritual routine that includes elements like meditation, visualization, or creative expression, allowing these practices to fuel your inner growth.

Embrace the spiritual lessons this transit offers by seeing challenges as opportunities for awakening and deeper understanding. This conjunction invites you to trust the process, to have faith in the journey and in your capacity to bridge the material and the spiritual worlds. Let Saturn teach you patience, and let Neptune open your heart to limitless possibilities.

Welcome to the Soul Growth

This Saturn Neptune conjunction is particularly auspicious because it is almost exactly sextile Sedna, our new planet of spiritual destiny, at 1 degree Gemini. This sextile is elevating your practical and visionary challenges into soul level work. Neptune is our spiritual consciousness and the sextile with Sedna will enable a major step-up on your spiritual journey. Each experience, no matter how challenging, serves as a step towards deeper self-understanding and spiritual fulfilment. 

Sedna is always trying to get us onto the spiritual path. She encourages us to let go of the Saturnian physical realm and allow transcendence to a new holistic spiritual consciousness. This soul-growth consciousness enables us to allow love and harmony, and to nurture abundance. So Sedna talks about our spiritual destiny at the highest level, but also about all the learning experiences we have to go through to get to that spiritual destiny.

I call her our Soul’s Path of Destiny because her placement in your chart represents the growth experiences that your soul really wants to undertake in this life. Pursuing these will enable you to embrace your spiritual destiny and joyfully do what your soul wants to do. So, the Saturn Neptune sextile to Sedna will be enabling both a physical and an imaginative manifestation of your soul needs, and the Gemini placement suggests this will result in a growth in personal consciousness.

Because these outer planets talk of consciousness, how they manifest in our lives depends on our current level of consciousness. Are we at the personal planet level of consciousness, unaware of these outer influences, or have we started to embrace the spiritual growth that Uranus and Neptune are encouraging? 

When we are unconscious of her energy, Sedna brings transcendent crises into our lives which force us to let go of our old consciousness framework and transcend to a new spiritual consciousness. So, the sextile could bring physical challenges or restrictions which force you to adopt a more spiritual view. There is no solution to a Sedna crisis, but by being counterintuitive and letting go early, we can avoid repeated pain.

So, with Sedna's Gemini ingress and the sextile to Saturn and Neptune, you could be experiencing a crisis of consciousness manifesting in your physical reality in some way. If you are having a Sedna crisis, you will be experiencing repeated pain in the area of your life represented by the house position of either the Aries or the Gemini cusps in your chart, or of the houses opposite. The important thing, when you realise it is a Sedna crisis, is to be counter-intuitive and let go of the problem, rather than try to solve it.

The more conscious we are of the outer planets, and the more we develop spiritually, the easier and more beneficial the transits become. As you embody the understanding that everything is perfectly tailored for your soul growth, you will be able to look back and see the Sedna crises as blessings in disguise. At this spiritual level, the Sedna sextile to Saturn & Neptune is encouraging you to beat your drum and sing your song to life. This transit is a good time to step up to do the soul-based work that you are here to do. And by doing that, you will move through a fated transcendence to a more transpersonal consciousness.

At the top-level Sedna brings transcendent peace, and the ability to nurture abundance. So, if you’re in tune with your soul needs this week, you will find that your material needs will manifest in your life in each moment. It may not be what you want, but it will be what you need. And, as you have the courage to embrace and nurture that, you open to the source of abundance in your life. I encourage you to embrace the Saturn, Neptune, Sedna alignment as a practical guide on your soul path, leading you toward both profound personal achievements and spiritual fulfilment.
