THE RETURN OF
PLANET
SEDNA
The Return of the Planet Sedna is a deep and engrossing contemplation of the connections between our world and very high galactic dimensions. Gehl posits that the return of Sedna signals the time has come to heal hidden fear and pain from the great cosmic cataclysms that occurred during Sedna's last cyclical return around 12,000 years ago. Gehl notes Sedna's return means shamanism and the recovery of our personal mythos is the way to go beyond this primordial wound. Bravo! Sedna is a must-read for all astrologers and those studying cataclysmic cycles.
BARBARA HAND CLOW, AUTHOR OF AWAKENING THE PLANETARY MIND AND ASTROLOGY AND THE RISING OF KUNDALINI
The Return of Planet Sedna is a portal for everyone to connect to a larger reality. This profoundly important work is a must-read for all who are concerned with the condition of our planet, our society, and our interpersonal relationships. Gehl leads us toward a point of transition, where we can see that we are extraordinary superconductors of energy, who, through the choices we make, can participate in the alchemy of change necessary for our evolution.

Jennifer Gehl provides an insightful analysis of the discovery chart coupled with a deep analysis of the myth, approaching both from a healing perspective. She also explores the close relationship of the planet to healing correspondences from ancient myth and certain future potentialities as they relate to Sedna, particularly the water element, the I Ching, and human DNA. I commend this work as another valuable piece of the roadmap charting Sedna's meaning in our lives!
ALAN CLAY, AUTHOR OF SEDNA CONSCIOUSNESS: THE SOUL'S PATH OF DESTINY
Sedna is, on the one hand, the ancient northern peoples' fruitful goddess of the deep sea and, on the other, the recently discovered minor planetary body on the extreme outer reaches of our solar system. Both depictions are ingeniously linked through Gehl's enlightened perspective on a symbiotic relationship between deep-rooted myths and cutting-edge science.
MICHAEL HAYES, AUTHOR OF THE HERMETIC CODE IN DNA
Fleshing out the emerging paradigm of human health and its psychospiritual dynamics played out between the Earth and the wider ecology of the planets and stars is the central gift of this book. Gehl details how the flow of an awakened cosmic Kundalini, through the living tissues of our own bodies and the body of the Earth, through its ley lines or meridians, is the herald of a new medicine that in some ways is remarkably ancient. The story of Sedna is our own story told in psychocosmic terms. Truly expansive.
EDWARD BRUCE BYNUM, PH.D., AUTHOR OF DARK LIGHT CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE DREAMLIFE OF FAMILIES
This is an extraordinary book. Gehl has provided an exhaustive examination of this extrasolar planet. A great read for those with interest in astrology, mythology, and archetypes, this book is a gift to the Acutonics community that will expand and enhance our clinical applications of this powerful planetary frequency.
JUDE PONTON, D.C., M.AC., L.AC., AND PAUL PONTON, M.AC., L.AC., SENIOR ACUTONICS INSTRUCTORS, PRACTITIONERS, AND COAUTHORS OF ACUTONICS FROM GALAXIES TO CELLS
This book is a comprehensive exploration of the cross-disciplinary links between Chinese Medicine, Inuit culture, science, astrology, vibrational healing, and the critical importance of myths. Gehl provides a powerful lens into Sedna's gifts and challenges while offering a path forward to apply them for the transformation of consciousness. A book desperately needed for global healing in the 21st Century!
ELLEN F. FRANKLIN, PH.D., AND DONNA CAREY, L.AC., COFOUNDERS OF THE ACUTONICS INSTITUTE OF INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
This work is dedicated to all the souls who chose to return at this pivotal time in Earth's history so that higher vibrations of love and light could be anchored on this planet. For all the brave wayshowers who willingly and consciously navigate the dark unknown so that others may find the Light... it is your time to shine.
FOREWORD
CULTIVATING THE INNER PATH
JOHN D. GROVE
I met Jennifer at a signing event for her first book, The Science of Planetary Signatures in Medicine, where she wrote Thank you for supporting my work. May you be inspired by what you read and trust in life's process. All is well. A few weeks later, we met at a local caf to further explore our common passion for astrology, psychology, and planetary symbolism. I shared the thesis of my book Dreams and Astrological Psychology (2014), and my background in the Huber method for which I received an advanced diploma from the Huber-affiliated Astrological Psychology Association. During our meeting, Jennifer agreed to an analysis of her natal chart using the Huber method. As our conversation progressed, I felt as though I was sitting across from a Mediatrix, a facilitator of planetary vibrations at the subatomic level for the purpose of reconstructing psychic-soma balance. On the day she came for her reading, I explained that with the Huber method each chart pattern evokes intuitive images, and her chart reminded me of a radar receiver in space anchored to a satellite far away from the Earth. At that moment, it struck me that Jennifer is an ambassador of intergalactic intelligence with a mission to bring forth cosmic wisdom and healing.
As we continued to collaborate and hold discussions regarding astrology and its relevance to clinical psychology, we discussed the parallels between Sedna's discovery chart and Jennifer's own natal chart, each having a pronounced Scorpio-Leo dynamic. In Jennifer's chart, there is a Scorpio stellium (Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Sun) in the first house, which has to do with identity, behavior, and appearance. Astrologically speaking, this describes an individual with an intense capacity to focus on the deeper issues and psychological insights (Scorpio) regarding spirituality (Neptune), relationships and resources (Venus), communication and education (Mercury), all of which she embodies and expresses (Sun). With her North Node, Moon, and Mars in Leo at the top of the chart in the ninth and tenth houses respectively, her mission is that of pulling the mysterious and occult information (Scorpio) into the light of conscious, creative, joyful expression (Leo) in the houses related to career and publishing or broadcasting. In Sedna's chart, the Leo Ascendant combined with the South Node and Sun in Scorpio also corresponds to transforming darkness into light, a notably shamanic process. With the planetary rulers of the nodes (Venus and Pluto) conjunct in Sedna's fifth house, the natural domain for Leo, we see the invitation to unite past (South Node) and future (North Node) experiences through creative expression in the present that wants to celebrate life. More importantly, the fifth house energy is one of being able to trust in life's process.
