Ep. 21 | Astro Church | Back to the Underworld: Virgo, Libra & the Magic of Thresholds

In the final episode of season 1 of Sol Connections, hosts Emily, Aryn & Dani explore the archetypes, patterns, and stories of Virgo, Libra, the Ten of Swords, fungi, and the myth of Persephone. They take time to reflect on one year of co-creating Sol Connections and what the podcast means to them. Then they delve into the astrological transits of Virgo and Libra season, including the Pisces-Virgo eclipses and the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Scorpio. The conversation weaves the myth of Persephone with crossing the threshold of the Fall Equinox and settling into the dark half the year. As we reflect upon Virgo and Libra season, we invite our community to ponder... What thresholds are you moving through and what do you need to let go of? What is alluring to you in the underworld that is scary to admit? 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.
