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?

What inherited beliefs do I have about gender, power, and desirability? What does it mean to reclaim that?
What does being a “warrior” mean to me beyond violence or conquest?
