In this episode, I go deep with the wonderful Mariola Rosario on the topic of Living Emergence. The third episode in this new series, this conversation is rich, vast, and deeply moving.

Some of the references from the episode:

Film: Fire of Love (2022)

Essay: Under the Sign of Saturn by Susan Sontag

Book: Underland by Robert Macfarlane

Poem: Caminante no hay camino by Antonio Machado

Mariola Rosario (she/her) is an artist, astrologer, writer, teacher, and independent researcher from Puerto Rico, currently based in Paris, France. She explores visual and material culture in relation to terrestrial and celestial practices and mythologies, tracing how images, objects, and language shape cultural memory, origins, and political imaginaries. She is committed to co-creating anti-extractive spaces of learning and mutual aid that honor both the magical and the material conditions of our time. Mariola also has a lot of fun writing on Substack, where she shares reflections on myth, art, monstrosity, astrology, politics, and the magic of language.

Her books are also open for Astrology consultations online and in person, in Paris. https://mariolarosario.com/

Her upcoming course, Chthonic AF: Unearthing Myths of Power, Sacred Rage, and the Monstrous Feminine, runs through Scorpio season. In this course we turn toward the underlands where gaze and voice cut across fear, desire, and resistance. Guided by Medusa and the Sirens, figures of fear and allure, they surface again and again in feminist, queer, and decolonial retellings. We will explore why they are returned to, reclaimed, and reimagined, and why we cannot seem to let them go. We ask what is it that they may be demanding from us now, here in 2025? We will dive into the chthonic and its relationship to monstrosity, ritual, art, astrology, and collective memory. We begin on October 22nd and spend four weeks in the underworld together, through the heart of Scorpio season. All genders, experiences, and learning styles are welcomed. Sign up is open. https://mariolarosario.com/copy-of-chthonic-af-scorpio-season-course-2025
