FROM OPA’s MONTHLY SPEAKER SERIES – RECORDED OCT 12 2025
The transiting cycles of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto bring consciousness growth into our lives. The inner planets represent aspects of personality, and the outer planets represent aspects of consciousness. The discovery of Uranus brought intuitive consciousness, Neptune’s discovery brought spiritual consciousness, and Pluto’s discovery enabled our lives’ psychological understanding.

This talk will give you consciousness exercises to work with these outer planets and introduce the 10 new ones that have been discovered this century: the Seeker consciousness of Ixion, Karmic consciousness of Orcus, Higher-love consciousness of Salacia, Mastery consciousness of Varuna, Unity consciousness of Haumea, Spirit consciousness of Quaoar, Systems consciousness of Makemake, Empathic consciousness of Gonggong, Diversity consciousness of Eris, and finally the Soul consciousness of Sedna.

New Zealander Alan Clay is a transpersonal astrologer inspired by the work of Dane Rudhyar. He has done extensive research on the new dwarf planets, and his book, Sedna Consciousness, the Soul’s Path of Destiny, is the ultimate reference for the new outer limit of our solar system, Sedna. He recently published ‘New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets’, selling over 2000 copies in the first 6 months. Under the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of 2020 he founded the Dwarf Planet University, where he teaches online diploma courses helping students understand the meaning of each dwarf planet in their personal chart. Currently, there are 150 students at any time across all course levels.
