Welcome to the 8th of 12 episodes where I unshame the houses of the chart with a different guest astrologer for each episode.

My guest is Mariola Rosario! Maria is a longtime cherished member of my community. We met first when she won a Scorpio-themed giveaway I did in the fall of 2019! She has served as 13th Reader for The Magician’s Table, is the TA for Emergence Astrology Year 1, and - breaking news! - will be one of the faculty for Year 2.  

To the ancients, the 8th House was called The Idle Place.  

Here we’re discussing how shame can show up in the department of life we call the 8th House, which includes: 

- death

- inheritances or profits from death 

- matters relating to death like wills 

- occupations related to death 

- other people’s money - assets from your spouse or business partner

- taxes 

- debts 

- fears, anxieties, horrors 

- mental illness 

- depth psychology 

- psychological transformations and alchemy 

- the occult

We go really, really deep in this one. What an honor!

Mariola Rosario is a visual artist, astrologer, educator, independent researcher and flâneuse weaving occult traditions & visual culture. She is from Puerto Rico and currently lives and creates from Paris, France. She has always found herself somewhere between the teacher-student axis and would like to continue to find alternative and more compassionate routes towards inclusive pedagogy and anti-extractive modes of learning and co-creating spaces of magical and material mutual aid.  

Mariola’s books are open for one-on-one astrology and tarot consultations.  She is also open to creative collaborations with fellow artists, magicians, organizers, activists and curious souls. Mariola also organizes bespoke tours in Paris, for anyone that is interested in art, history, culture, especially as it relates to occult traditions and the more hidden, alternative parts of the city. She also offers wine, coffee and culinary explorations for food nerds like herself. Contact her if you are interested, she knows all the good spots. https://mariolarosario.com/

Her course Chthonic AF: Unearthing Myths of Power, Sacred Rage, and the Monstrous Feminine begins late October and goes until November 20th. Please contact Mariola if you would like to join, even if the course has already started. 

This upcoming Spring, during Gemini season, Mariola will co-host two dreamy Astrology, Yoga, relaxation and culinary delights retreats in Greece with friend and collaborator Megan Frye. There will be two sessions, one under the introspective New Moon in Gemini and the other illuminated by the expansive Full Moon in Sagittarius.
