Ep. 12 | Astro Church | To Everything, A Season: Taurus, Stewardship & the Path of Pleasure

In Ep. 12 of Sol Connections, hosts Emily, Aryn & Dani explore the archetypes, patterns, and stories of Taurus, the Knight of Pentacles, Rose, and FernGully. They discuss the astrological transits of Taurus season, including the Mars-Pluto opposition, Full Moon in Scorpio, and Uranus in Taurus. The conversation delves into the importance of rooting into the cycles of death and rebirth, finding one’s place within the web of life, and heart tending to receive the abundance and pleasure of spring. As we reflect upon Taurus season, we invite our community to ponder... What is your role in the ecosystem of your community and the land around you? What seeds are you being asked to nurture? Where are you being invited to remember your agency? What wounds need tending? Where would better boundaries help you open to more connection and pleasure? How can you let pleasure be your guide? Connect with Sol Connections and share your reflections, submit a Universal Shoutout, or pitch us to be a guest on the pod. Bre Legan designed Sol Connections’ logo and artwork.
