This podcast discusses Algol, a star in the constellation Perseus known historically as the "Demon Star" and often associated with misfortune in traditional astrology, due in part to its variable brightness and connection to the myth of Medusa. Despite its challenging reputation, the discussion explores Algol's modern interpretation as a powerful catalyst for profound personal change, highlighting how its energy encourages individuals to confront inner struggles and transform obstacles into personal power. It is seen as a tool for shadow work, facilitating emotional liberation and self-awareness. Ultimately, Algol is presented not just as a difficult influence, but as an opportunity to evolve and integrate hidden aspects of the self for healing and self-actualization.   The podcast has an accompanying blog:  Algol - Star of Inner Renewal
