Embracing the Archetypal Patterns of Astrology with Emmalea Russo
Emmalea is an astrologer, poet, scholar, and rogue researcher who weaves threads of esoteric astrology, contemporary cinema, visual art, literature, and the mystique of alchemy itself.
In this episode, Michelle and Emmalea muse on the dynamic relationship between the signs, their ruling planets, their metallic qualities, how they relate to archetypal and alchemical theory, and how we can apply these concepts to reading our own charts.

The manifestation of seizures and their relationship to alchemy, astrology, and self-violence
The signs as archetypes and their corresponding ruling planets and associated metals
