#173 - Bryan De Justin: Tarot & the Unconscious: A Freudian Perspective - Tarot Psychology
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
“Mythology, resistant to time and age, has long instructed humanity in the ancient truths of life’s mysteries. The Tarot, as a mythology of human existence, is no different. Mythology, within a psychotherapeutic framework, functions through personification.” ... “The use of the Tarot in therapy is therefore parallel to the use of projective tests such as the Thematic Apperception Test. The Tarot arguably holds an advantage over the TAT in that it is inherently encoded with cultural, psychological, and philosophical symbolism.” (Quotes from Bryan De Justin’s book, the focus of this...

#172 - Kristin Fontana: Amazon Rising: Awakening the Wild Feminine
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
"The Soul must gradually strip away the armor of perceived safety—the identities, defenses, and strategies formed under threat, and risk becoming essential once again. Vulnerable. Present. Alive." This is a quote from my guest in this episode- I speak with Kristin Fontana, Evolutionary Astrologer and teacher at the School of Evolutionary Astrology, about her new book "Amazon Rising: Awakening the Wild Feminine", 2026. I must say a very inspiring book!! The Amazon is the female expression of the Warrior Archetype, and in the birth chart the asteroid Amazone (#1042) marks the place where...

#169 - Jessica Fern & David Cooley: Consensual & Ethical Non-Monogamy - Navigating Open Relationships
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
"The further we step outside the constructs of monogamy, the more we inevitably come to see our relationships through new eyes, and sometimes we may not like what we see. Whether you are brand new to CNM, or have been living some form of it for years, the changes that come as you or your partner develop new relationships can radically alter your life in unpredictable ways. For many, the changes that CNM can bring act like a pressure cooker, heating things up and bringing to the surface all kinds of feelings, issues, and dynamics that you were potentially never aware of, such as...

#168 - Joseph Pawson: Dependency and Denial - The Stories That Divide Us
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
"When our cries go unanswered, we find ourselves having to shout louder. It is easy to see how these attempts to be praised can be misread and labelled incorrectly as arrogance, misbehavior, or being a show-off. As a result, it may feel as if we are being told that our need for mirroring is in some way bad or wrong. In being misunderstood, our developmental needs can be misconstrued, and a distorted story may be told about who we are. Sadly, we often internalize these stories and labels and, in doing so, inadvertently deny and exile the vulnerability of our own needs. Misunderstandings of this...

#166 - Philip Shepherd: Ground and Heighten Your Sensitivity to Live More Intelligently AND: How to Feel SAFE When Sensitive (p.2.)
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
"The more sensitive someone is, the more crucial it is that they embody this other quality if their sensitivity is to inform their wholeness rather than disrupt it." & "If our sensitivities open us to the resonances of the world, it is another capacity that enables us to “gather” what is gleaned rather that being overwhelmed or knocked off balance by it: a capacity that enables us to be “collected”—to deepen into our wholeness and assimilate What Is. We might call this integrative quality ‘groundedness’. (Radical Wholeness, 2017, Philip Shepherd - it makes even more sense...

#165 - Philip Shepherd: Softening Into a Porous Relationship With the Present - Radical Wholeness (p.1.)
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
Okay a long quote, but seriously, check it out: "We feel ourselves held within a personal boundary that keeps our life separate from that of the world. It’s hard to appreciate how strangely normalized that state of ours is until we look to other cultures for comparison. When we seek to promote our personal well-being, for instance, we might think about taking the right supplements, eating organic food, exercising regularly and sleeping well. I have no issue with any of that—but it’s based on an assumption that health will be achieved by doing the right things to...

#164 - Christina Rodenbeck: Lilith Untamed - Making the Case for Black Moon Lilith: The Astrological Lilith
Therapeutic Astrology Podcast
"Somewhere inside you there is a wildness that yearns to be acknowledged and seen, honoured and cherished, brought into the light. That untamed sliver of self is in all of us". Welcome to an insightful and wide-ranging conversation with Christina Rodenbeck about her book "Lilith Untamed: A Guide to the Astrological Black Moon" (The Wessex Astrologer, 2026, the above quote is from the very beginning of the book). Christina has a long experience with tracking Black Moon Lilith (BML) she started from scratch and tested whether the assumptions about the Lilith archetype actually held water,...

- We do the actual Blue Diamond healing!
- The energy system is where information is stored

- Why we attract more of the same
- The SACRED UNKNOWN EVOLVING SELF
-Transference in a new light
- How the blue diamond field will bring about what we ask, if we dont have internal objections - but what if we have unconscious traumatized parts of us that do object to healing?

And much more
