August 16, 2025 – Conjunction – Uranus & Sedna 0° Gemini
Sedna is one of the most distant bodies in our solar system. Discovered in 2003, her orbit takes more than 11,000 years. Sedna is part of the group of distant dwarf planets that orbit at the edges of our solar system, a realm of bodies that carry deep generational and collective themes. In Inuit myth she is the sea goddess cast into the depths, both victim and source of power. In astrology Sedna represents what is neglected, abandoned, or forgotten until it can no longer be ignored. She shows the consequences of systemic failure and the reckoning that comes when reality pushes back after centuries of denial.
When Neptune at Pisces 12° moved within orb of a square to Sedna at Taurus 27° in March 2017, and held that square through February 2019 until Neptune passed 21° Pisces, the world was caught in a wave of misinformation and disorientation that still lingers. The exact hits included June 2017 and the retrograde returns of September and October 2018. Images were falsified, news was manufactured, and the digital flood revealed what happens when truth is neglected for too long.
When Saturn at Aquarius 23° moved within orb of a square to Sedna at Taurus 28° in March 2021, and carried that square through January 2023 until Saturn passed 3° Pisces, the collective faced systemic breakdowns in supply chains, institutions, and accountability. The exact hits included May 2021, August 2021, and January 2022. Long term neglect of infrastructure and trust was exposed. The reckoning could no longer be delayed.
Now Uranus at Gemini 0°55′ joins Sedna at Gemini 0°. Uranus is the lightning strike. Sedna is the cold abyss. Gemini is the nervous system. This conjunction entered orb in May 2025 when Uranus reached Gemini 25° Taurus, five degrees away from Sedna at Gemini 0°. It will hold through March 2026 until Uranus passes Gemini 5°. This is the meeting of sudden shock with the slowest consequence, delivered through information and communication. On the world stage, it shows up as technological leaps, network collapses, data floods, and markets that react in bursts instead of cycles. At the local level, it arrives as rumor chains, outages, sudden detours, and a nervous system pushed to its edge.
For those with planets in early Gemini this is a conjunction (fusion that amplifies). For early Virgo placements it is a square (tense conflict that spurs action). For Sagittarius placements it is also a square. For early Pisces placements it is an opposition (polarity that requires compromise). For early Libra and Aquarius placements it is a trine (easy flow that accelerates). Sedna asks what has been ignored for too long. Uranus insists that it cannot be ignored any longer. The grid shakes. The street hears it.
What’s Coming Up Next
August 19–20, 2025 – Sun conjunct Mars at Leo 26° and Mercury conjunct Venus at Leo 15°. Fire and voice meet. One transit resets drive and courage, the other softens words and brings charm. Together they fuse assertion with expression. The week opens with both the roar and the purr of Leo, passion sharpened and spoken aloud.
