Sedna — Betrayal, Descent, and Reclaiming Sovereign Boundaries | S2 Ep.10

Uranus-Sedna conjunction May 2026, patriarchal shadow, Jungian depth psychology, somatic psychoeducation, and the Inuit goddess myth that teaches women how to stop taking responsibility for what was never theirsPatriarchy is not being subtle right now, and neither is the shift I’m feeling in women’s bodies. When bodily autonomy gets legislated, when women’s pain gets dismissed in public, when power structures show us exactly who they were built for, something stops negotiating. A quieter kind of boundary appears: a line drawn in the sand that says, “I am done taking responsibility for what isn’t mine.”I take that collective moment into the myth of Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the deep ocean, holding her story with respect as a student of archetypal psychology. Sedna is betrayed, cut loose, and forced into a descent that looks like devastation, until it becomes transformation. Through a Jungian lens, her story mirrors the return of the repressed shadow: what was always operating in the dark gets dragged into the light so it can finally be named, faced, and changed.From there, I bring in somatic psychology and nervous system regulation, including the window of tolerance and a polyvagal-informed clinical map, because you cannot “mindset” your way out of what lives in tissue, breath, and posture. I also share why this week’s astrology matters to me: Sedna crossing into Gemini for decades and a rare Uranus conjunction that speaks to disruption, voice, and finally giving language to what the body has carried. We name the pathology of the good woman, the survival pattern of managing men’s emotions, and the difference between dysregulated discharge and sovereign directness. I end with a grounded practice you can use immediately: “I am not responsible for…”Goddess Astrology Mini CourseIf this lands, share the episode with a woman who needs it, and leave a review so more listeners can find the work.Send us Fan MailSupport the showFollow Casey Dunne on Substack Educational Resources and Priestess Initiations WebsiteBooks I Love Shop through this link to support independent bookstores and this podcast.Discover Your Goddess Astrology PlacementsWellness Guides by CaseyThis podcast offers spiritual and psychological education and priestess wisdom.
