    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.

    Ep. 16 | Astro Church | Scarcity to Sanctuary: Cancer, Belonging & The Tides of Care

    In Ep. 16 of Sol Connections, hosts Emily, Aryn & Dani explore the archetypes, patterns, and stories of Cancer, the Four of Pentacles, Mugwort, and Over the Moon.

The conversation explores the tension between safety & scarcity-driven control, what it means to belong — to land, to lineage, to each other — and how the Cancerian impulse to care must expand beyond the immediate family to include everyone. As we reflect on Cancer season, we invite our community to ponder: As the Empire crumbles and chaos swirls, what practices ground you in the present moment and nourish your mind, body, and spirit? How can you come together with your community to nourish and support one another? What can we learn from past generations about nourishing one another in hard times? Who, what, or where feels like home and cultivates your sense of belonging?  Connect with Sol Connections and share your reflections, submit a Universal Shoutout, or pitch us to be a guest on the pod: https://forms.gle/xnHBRakLMMacCbre6 Bre Legan designed Sol Connections’ logo and artwork.
