Therapeutic Astrology Podcast

"If patients stay in the system long enough, they learn to control all words and gestures linked to fantastical thinking, delusions, grandiosity, and hallucination. Through hard experience they learn the fruit of their best thinking is not approved of by the professionals involved in their care. They learn Orwellian doublethink, a capacity to believe in two opposing points at the same time. They discover the skill of believing the reality their mind often presents them with, while at the same time fitting in with the actual reality reinforced by mental health workers."(....) "The scale of suffering of our mentally disordered is rarely investigated as a factor of the disconnections between who we are now and those who went before us." David Stokes has written a truly exceptional book, where I feel he says all the things we are not supposed to say - when working in publically funded social work at least. "Masquerade At The Crossroads of Good And Evil - Holism and Spirit Work in Mental Health and Addiction" is published this year, 2026, at Aeon Books. A much needed book!! This is a shorter interview, as the audio was really poor, but I have edited it so it is a lot better for you to listen to now. I'm hoping to meet David again for a follow up. But enjoy this shorter interview on what the Crossroads is, what the Masquerade is, and how to incorporate a holistic approach into social work, not by suggesting anything spiritual to clients, but by meeting their own aspirations.

"In modern culture, our sensitivity to our embodied soul has largely retreated into the shadow. An individual may be an excellent athlete or a consummate dancer, for example, but that does not guarantee a healthy relationship with our sensual authority, emotions, or imagination. Indeed, to excel in these areas and achieve our goals of efficiency and precision, we need to focus acutely on breathing, muscles, bones, and rhythm. This creates false gods of perfectionism and achievement." (from page 44 of Body as Shadow, 2026) I am so glad to welcome teacher, lecturer, workshop facilitator, supervisor and Jungian Analyst Erica Lorentz to this chapter of TAP. Erica is the author of Body as Shadow - Jungs Method of Embodied Healing, that she just published after many years of conceiving it. Themes that come up include healing of trauma, where do you go during dissociation, trust the somatic unconscious, what does it mean if there is only darkness when you go into your imagination, and what the subtle body is, even though it cannot fully be expressed in words. Erica spontanously shares from this place in the book that magically enough already was more own favorite, both this quote but also other passages around this lunar consciousness: "As we use the radar of our own experience to feel what a client is emitting—sensing something in the field between us that has not yet flickered into focus—we must soften into it. This is a lunar consciousness (in alchemy, a "making of the silver"). Schwartz-Salant (1982) describes what it means to perceive this kind of awakening and sight: 'This shift of consciousness can be described as a movement from a "solar consciousness" that readily leads to interpretations, into a "lunar consciousness" that focuses upon images and imaginal perceptions. This shift involves an introverted act in which psychic energy—attention and consciousness—is surrendered to the unconscious and to a symbolic sense of oneness, the One Continuum.' (p. 140) Jung discovered this introverted act in psychic energy, which he called "indirect thinking" (1971), when he followed his soul into the underworld." Erica has practiced Authentic Movement for many years, and had the experience of healing a serious headache through - she shares how that happened, and we speak a whole lot on Jungian psychology, symbolic journeys, and how the whole embodied soul got pushed into the shadow, and for us to heal, we need to reconnect to it and go into the imaginal creative space. So all in all - I hope you will tap in with us - beforehand Erica had asked me to look astrologically at how the book will be received and so I interpret the Saturn aspects to her natal chart, which are many, to be a place of solid authority and a lasting impact and things becoming real now- E

To us, astrology feels completely natural. But for many, it still sits outside the system, also the system of psychology, even though the obviosly go well together. As Neptune is influencing Saturn in a critical way right now, the lines may begin to loosen. This is a conversation with Lauren Donelson, who is a psychotherapist, intuitive healer, and yes, an astrologer. We share the vision of directly usindg astrology in the healing work - so welcome to an echo chamber what we feel strongly about. TAP in with us as we explore rich themes together and Lauren Donelson brings up many important reflections: at one point she says, "they don't belong to the institutions, they are ours," speaking about gifts that are often treated as something you need certification to even have them. Here are just a few notes on what we speak about: -How completely obvious it is to use Parts Work/IFS and Astrology together - and examples of how that would look -Embodiment, containing, holding and connecting to medicine plants -Mercurial gifts, both the technical explanatory ones and the more artistic ones -Would you trust an IFS therapist who is not also a registered psychotherapist? -How awful it is that what we can go out and call ourselves titles that relies on what education we were able to buy, and not solely on qualifications -And about the registering...do you trust someone with a register more than you own intuition and if so, I wonder why we became that way... -Ancestral healing  -Environmental destruction !!! and justice -Building relationship with the land -Being magic /in Self !!! -and how it is TIME TO LISTEN deeply because the earth is speaking Astrologically, we speak about the whole gamut of Saturn, Neptune and lots of Pisces glimmer in there too, since Lauren and I have that Sun sign in common, and also Uranus through Taurus, because, as I envy in Lauren, she's got a lot of Taurus energy for embodiment, gardening, connecting to animals and nature, and her music (that we even get a tiny piece of)- It WAS truly refreshing to be with another and very qualified therapeutic astrologer-I really do hope you enjoy it LINKS: youtube: https://youtu.be/DlBiR8GKTEA   Find Lauren: https://www.laurendonelsontherapy.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embodied_healing find me: <p data-pm-slice="1 1

Manda Scott "lights the fires of possibilities", as she calls it, in this much needed episode on thrutopias, the total collapse and how we can emerge into a completely new paradigm. Manda impresses me so much, she has been a published writer for 30 years and writing still, she is also the founder of ACCIDENTAL GODS. I really hope you will enjoy this episode where we get informed, sparked and interrupted in our normal thinking. So grateful for this interview - may it be of great importance to you too. Here are some notes about what we TAP into in this episode: -Bringing knowing back to those who have forgotten -Complexity versus complicated -Thrutopian fiction -Why we do not need more dystopias -Writers and artists imagining different futures -Letting go of tribal divisions -Remembering that we are part of the web of life -Our culture as locked in early adolescence -The natural state of humanity as wholeness -Inner coherence, trauma therapy and talking to the web of life -Ask the web of life: "What do you need me to do?" -Collapse into extinction and emergence into a new system -The caterpillar, the cocoon and imaginal cells -Awake dreaming and sleep dreaming -Aquarian themes run strongly through this conversation, as the archetype is prevalent in Mandas chart.

Phoebe Wyss is a seasoned astrologer with more than 40 years of experience, she is the author of three astrology books and a meditator on the Osho path. In this episode, I speak with Phoebe Wyss about cosmology, sacred geometry, quarter days, synchronicity and experiential astrology as a path of self-discovery. We also talk about her pioneering astrology game Lebensrad, the Wheel of Life, which she created and published in Germany in the 1980s. The game was built on synchronicity, and Phoebe describes how people repeatedly received answers that felt uncannily relevant to what they were already thinking or struggling with. This became part of her research into why astrology works. The Wheel of lige describes the 12 signs as 12 basic archetypal forms or vibrations of energy, all emerging from the oneness at the center.  Phoebe also shares her current approach to experiential astrology, where students physically enter the chart, sit in the place of their astrological placements, and speak from that inner position. The deeper is truer. Finally, we reflect on Phoebe's own chart, especially I ask about her Uranus return.  LINKS: youtube version: https://youtu.be/Ri6U6tv_Vn8 Phoebe Wyss:  https://www.astrophoebe.com/ The book we speak about:  https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Cosmic-Mind-Archetypal-Astrology/dp/178250110X Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/

We have been on the edge for so long - now we are here! What do we do now with the confrontational and autonomous energy? If you want inspiration to answer that for yourself, this is the episode to tap into. Even if not, because there is more to this conversation - You will meet Evolutionary Astrologer and teacher Dabney Lawless, who also has her own YouTube channel with excellent interviews and solo content. In this episode, she shares why she believes astrology is, in a way, lawless, as well as her own recent healing experiences through Chiron transits. We then dive into a collective energy reading, where many passionate themes arise - some political, others more personal. This is a recommended episode for all astrology lovers, because Dabney is so wellspoken and her way of speaking incredibly rich. Enjoy.

Robert Falconer (Bob) is with us for the third time, and it is such a rich hour. Listen to this one if you want to learn more about what dialoguing with Spirit is, how a domination structure does not want people to have connection to spirit, how it is essential to heal from trauma, and why desire is a very good thing!!  TAP in with us and learn more about: -How to let go of the raft (the tools, worldviews, and methods that once helped us can later become limitations if we cling to them) -Distinctions between channeling and dialogue with spirit -Jung's active imagination as it relates to IFS -How IFS is a raft! Bob's staircase truly excites me -How confusion, cognitive dissonance, and uncertainty are actually the fastest way to grow -ASK: "How do I develop my relationship with this?" -Stand on the Abyss !! -Any person remains fundamentally mysterious!! -the alternative to the "attempt to kill the psyche " -Neoplatonism, theurgy, and the embodied descent of divine energies -Ecstatic energy -REVISION the history of spirituality in the West -Hunger, yearning, and loneliness are not signs of failure but forces that can carry a person home to the divine. Desire becomes distorted only when reduced or controlled -Spirit being plural -How Spirit after the book said: "You have tried to storm the Palace of Wisdom through its sewer system" -How demons keep people chained as long as they remain afraid of them but the way forward is not to violently cut cords -His comments on lasting transformations: be curious about the parts that brought the old structures back, it is a SLOW PROCESS BASED ON LOVE -we go into Bob's current transits as he has Uranus right on his Venus now (29 degrees) and have an upcoming transit of Saturn to his Sun. Major development about to give way it seems and I think his current studies of tantra could be related to his Venus in taurus and his upcoming major book project could be related to Saturn approaching, as he has felt some resistance to it and it is a major work. But it could be many other things going on this life that I do not know about, remember in these interviews I always just guess a bit from what I know whereas in a deep conversation about life events, I would understand the symbolism better- but it does point to that something does not satisfy Bob anymore, it is as if another wisdom establish, that could be a broad way to look at the current and coming energy for him. Of course, as an Aries, he marches to his own drummer regardless.  youtube video here: https://youtu.be/JW_uCCi0wfk check Bob out here: https://robertfalconer.us/ the book we speak about here: https://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Robert-Falco

Our guest today, Joel Blackstock, is deeply inspiring. Whether you're passionate about therapy or simply curious, this conversation is getting you there - we explore the natural therapeutic evolution, how pattern recognition is central and then Joel breaks down the differences between EMDR and Brainspotting, and then takes us further into Emotional Transformation Therapy. I highly recommend listening to this one. He shares so many powerful reflections, including: "I want my shadow in the room, so I know where it is" which feels especially resonant coming from a fellow Pluto in Scorpio gen. He also shares his own breakdown and how he had to go through the process himself. He also speaks beautifully about the shift from writing against critics to writing for the people who can actually be helped by his work. We of course also speak of Joel's astrology, where I put an emphasis on his Gemini signature to reflect his ability to research and understand neurology and the brain. It is also his Gemini nature that helps him apply different perspectives at once—and in terms of the current transits, we are looking straight at his Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, and Ascendant, which might mean that in this period of time he will make big decisions around central elements of his life. He will do so with his shadow in the room, as he says, and Chiron is in the room too, meaning his personal trailblazer signature showing itself also on the basis of his willingness to stay present with discomfort, allowing it to evolve into purpose and meaningful action. It is truly life changing transits, but it is also the long term perspective on projects- in fact all these major transits speak of change over a long time, over several years. Mind you that the outer planets make the strongest effect on us, however it often takes a while, as they retrograde and come back around. This means we got time to think for ourselves, then rethink the thinking and then rethink the foundation of ever having thought so...  It certainly means that we are in a maturation process. NOW: Lean back, enjoy the conversation, and check out the links below: https://gettherapybirmingham.com/ Joel's podcast here:  https://www.youtube.com/@GetTherapyBirmingham Here is the first in the series we mention about the history of psychotherapy:  https://youtu.be/aFCWDKd4xCg?si=M6aUTKK-kL6Xjgex or here: <a href= "https://gettherapybi

This is such a rich episode! Meet Justin Wilford (IFS practitioner, writer, and former academic) who for some sick reason has two PhD's. But that is all in the past. Now he is full time working with IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy) both client-work, teaching groups and retreats.  COME and be with us as we explore the core ideas of IFS, including multiplicity, Self, burdens and the UB's, and the insight that our parts are not just protective, but sacred. Justin shares how his thinking has evolved from viewing parts as mechanisms or metaphors to experiencing them as beings with their own spiritual core. We also go into the theme of religious trauma and the difficulty of reconnecting with biblical language after religious trauma - which is just nice that someone else feels as well, but of course through healing those parts with religious trauma there can open a different path into inner freedom. We also speak about unattached burdens as lost souls and the whole the spiritual dimension of healing, and how Justin understands these phenomena through direct clinical and personal experience as his sagittarius ascendent would want. We also touch on Tarot and a deep explanation of the underlying nature of reality. I truly enjoy diving into these important topics that Justin clearly cares about too and are able to articulate in such an informing and felt way.  youtube version: https://youtu.be/FDkZ-FT4AqM Check Justin out here: his substack I mention: https://substack.com/@justingwilford his website: https://www.justinwilford.com/ Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ And listen here: https://podimo.com/dk/shows/therapeutic-astrology

"What are the deeper psychological needs trying to be met through this new technology? What are the hidden archetypal patterns at play in turning to the prospect of a different kind of mind, a mind not quite human, perhaps a mind that is more than human? In this liminal space, we find a spectrum of fantasies ranging from a coming utopia ushered in by the potentials of these immaculately conceived technologies, to the enslavement or destruction of humanity by rogue AI that has outsmarted its programmers."* WELCOME to such a rich episode, where technological philosopher, mythologist, futurist and author Jason D. Batt is talking in depth with me about AI in a psychological view. Here are some of the themes we go through together - and let me tell you, this is perspective shifting, and AI is going to be completely normal soon, so lets talk about it, here close to the ingress of Uranus into Gemini. -How the book Depth Psychology, Myth and Artificial Intelligence- SOUL AND THE MACHINE came to be  -Who decides what soul and humanity is? -What are the deeper psychological needs trying to be met through this new technology? -What is AI really reflecting back to us? How is it the collective unconscious and the deeper patterns shaping humanity? <span lang="EN-GB" style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Ap

This is the second part of our (yes, yours and mine!) meeting with Kingsley L. Dennis, who holds a PhD and works as a full-time writer and researcher. He is the author of more than twenty-five books and numerous articles, making it no small task to choose what to focus on!! But today is long planned job (planned by myself Mannah)of me bringing some challenging questions to Kingsley, as I recently read his 2020 book "The Modern Seeker: A Perennial Psychology for Contemporary Times." We explore what the perennial path is, and how it can be expressed through the modern language of psychology. What are the dangers of going into the occult/spiritual domain if not emotionally stable and how can therapy work together with the perennial need to decondition? Kingsley is AS WE SPEAK ready with a new book for the public called "Sage Talks: Conversations with Gods, Deities, and Avatars" (march 31, 2026) and we of course dive into that too in the later part of this interview. But mostly we go at it with bridging tools/paths for emotional health and a spiritual growth. Modern therapy and the perennial path are not necessarily opposed - but the interesting part is how we get to this point, the process of us understanding each other in this conversation I think. DEconditioning and reprogramming is a HUGE important task. Now then what? What do we replace the old programme with? Well Soulmaking, in his language, is about nourishing the soul with what truly feeds it, rather than living on distractions, substitutes, or forms of "fast food" for the psyche.  A central thread in the conversation is that real development requires openness, critically questioning, flexibility and humor! And an underlying theme is the art of communication, because as Kingsley says in the end of this episode: "We are a communicative species." In astrological terms, we speak of a Mars Mercury conjunction (powerful communicator!) and Libra rising, which points to a soul emphasis on equal relationships. I find this very pronounced in Kingsley because he is always very easy to talk to and consistently invites me into a space of co-creation. Also in this conversation he speaks of allowing others perspectives - that is a Libra skill for sure!! I hope you enjoy it and will reflect with us on these existential and important topics  -Mannah   link to this episode on youtube: https://youtu.be/F5Sm4hz067w Kingsleys substack: https://kingsleyldennis.substack.com/ Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/

In her book Black Paths and Green Cathedrals: A Guide to Ecological Paganism, Sian Sibley writes: "greed and gluttony are not just permitted, they are encouraged, driven by a profiteering media that feeds our fears because fear sells. And yet, no one ever tells us what 'enough' even means. We are kept hungry on purpose, starved of contentment, because a person who knows they have enough is a person who cannot be controlled."  WOW. This wow factor goes all through our conversation. So welcome dear listener to TAP into a conversation about: -How working with trees is very different from working with flowers and plants: flowers are quick, but trees ask us to slow down because they move at a much slower pace than we do -By selling your time, you are giving away the best part of your life  -The Industrial Revolution and the enclosure of land helped cut people off from the land and moved them into dehumanizing conditions in towns, mines, and mills -One striking example of dehumanization was the invention of food like the sandwich and the Cornish pasty -Much of modern life has handed our survival over to supermarkets and systems, leaving us deeply dependent and cut off from the sources of life -This disconnect is not just about being "green" in the modern sense of recycling or veganism, but about a root-deep wound in how we see ourselves as above nature instead of within it -What it means to be plant-blind and how admit to being just that -Humans are incredibly new compared to the plant world, yet religion and science have often trained us to think we are superior to it -CRYSTALS! There is no real proof behind claims of "ethically sourced crystals," and that label often becomes something we tell ourselves to feel better -Sacred plants are also being harmed by spiritual consumption, such as frankincense, where overuse is contributing to the endangerment of Boswellia trees -If people cannot grow food, gather water, forage, or provide for themselves, they become dependent on systems that then hold power over their lives -The drop test: If a plant can anticipate an outcome, alter its response, and remember past experiences, that fits a definition of intelligence ! -Sacred trees appear across cultures, including the world tree in Norse mythology and the enlightenment tree in Buddhism -Many ancient goddesses was nature deities connected to animals, serpents, and the living earth but later mythologies and patriarchal systems have diminished these earlier feminine powers -Plant magic and herbal practice traditionally integrate astrology through planetary correspondences/esoteric sympathies and...So Much Good Stuff in this one!!   From Aeon books website: "Sian Sibley is a writer, witchcraft practitioner, and ecologist from Wales, with over thirty years of experience in plant spirit magic. She holds master's degrees in Biological Science and

"Using astrology psychologically is not a recent trend, though; it was widespread among the alchemists of Europe, such as Paracelsus and Athanasius Kircher, who sought to undergo the great work or magna opus of transforming and transmuting the self. Astrology later attracted the attention of Western psychologists and psychiatrists" (quote from Maja D'Aoust) TAP in with us as we speak of: Shadow work, subconscious influences, counter-part, your double ganger and alter-ego and why it is so important and so natural!  Here are some of the themes we talk about: -The unexpressed energy in shadow -Doubles and the shade and its role within magical traditions -In the shadow is also our biological instinct and here is a great quote from Maja:  "The impulse and compulsion of instinct serves to keep you and all other life-forms alive. Without instinct, we would not survive; therefore instinct deserves as much respect and veneration as intelligence." -Identifying with limited information (bias) -There should be no shaming about having a shadow- we are bound to it, living in this reality! -The dualistic nature of the universe  -Pagen history and mythology -REMEMBER WHERE YOU COME FROM -Why (we think) social media is toxic now but started as an utopia -Different terminologies and perspectives on the Soul -The need to have more insight on death and the afterlife journey -Grief and love even though there "is no loss" because there is a perception of separation with death -How the I Ching helped Maja realize shadow astrology -Sharing esoteric wisdom and how I find some purpose to talk publicly about books that inspired me -Eclipses and double ganger experiences  Rich with information!!

I had to do one more interview at the astro-conference when I heard Katharina Westblikk speak!! It turns out she also works therapeutically at her Arhat Center. She is an esoteric astrologer, healer, yoga teacher, lecturer, and the owner of Arhat Center in Bergen, Norway. Tap in as we talk about what esoteric astrology is..I come into the conversation with a certain frame of reference due to the high horse I have experienced many esoteric astrologers to be on, but there is an explanation of the hight. Also...Mind you, I'm in a sensitive state as I didn't get much sleep... Be intrigued together with me as Katharina dives into esoteric wisdom with us.

This is part 2 of a 2-part series with Maurice Fernandez, master astrologer with more than 30 years of experience. In this shorter episode we speak about spiritual development, the adaptation of our brain and biology to the energetic update and how to tell if a spiritual teacher are trustworthy. I hope you enjoy it. I made this mini-series with Maurice to celebrate entering my 40s.  PS I am having my own Uranus into Gemini moment - or "progress is here-moment" - as I brought my so-called "old" heavy recording gear, just to discover that the modern smartphone is a way better recorder, than all I had brought.  Hey find more on Maurice here: https://mauricefernandez.com/ Mannah here: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ the video version here: https://youtu.be/L_05OqcYhqg

This is part 1 of a 2-part series with Maurice Fernandez, who once upon a time managed to educate me (Mannah) as an Evolutionary Astrology. Now what is that? Well, we identify the soul's evolutionary journey through the natal astrology chart and questions of the purpose of this life is in the forefront. In this first conversation we tap into the growth of consciousness that unfold over multiple lifetimes, and how one can truly find meaning, not by making it up, but by really discovering why we are here. I also get Maurice's take on neurodiversity as it is reflected in astrology. As I am stepping into my 40s, I bring you this mini-series with a great teacher of mine, who never ceases to inspire and open me up to realizations. I hope you enjoy it. PS: The audio is less than good on this one. I had taken all my recording gear to Sweden to meet Maurice, and it seems the recorder was too tired to turn on. I will do my best to ensure better audio in upcoming interviews.

"Culture looks and acts a lot like a religious cult, and as writer and magician Alan Moore has said, every culture started out as a cult." (quote from Brian James, Traumadelic, 2024) In this conversation, my very Jupiterian guest says: EXPANSIVENESS IS THE KEY and he also says "sometimes we just loose our shit!" Listen to this thought-provoking conversation about the so-called myth of trauma. It is a longer episode, but I invite you to stick around, because we get into so important themes like what is is that attracts so many people to trauma work - and what you can do when you are caught by a belief. Brian James is a depth counselor, archetypal coach, and podcast host (see link below), and we share a love of yoga, interviews, depth psychology, and a mutual tendency to question overly simplistic views!! You could even say we "trauma bond" over our experiences in (leaving) therapy schools........a little into the conversation. Like I said -please stick around! For those who care to read this text, I will mention I mix up an important word, but I mean to talk about the parentalism, a term that contains an objection within it!!! The heart of that critique in parentalism and in this conversation is actually captured in a quote from James Hillman, quoted in Brian James' Traumadelic: "The more I believe my nature comes from my parents, the less open I am to the ruling influences around me. The less the surrounding world is felt to be intimately important to my story. Yet even biographies begin by locating the subject in a place; the self starts off amid the smells of a geography. We are ecological from day one." TAP in with us as we explore: - Brian's experience with a series of remembrances - Another way of understanding causality - Radical ambivalence - A critique of "small t" trauma - Experiences with Gabor Maté and other role models that are not always easy to engage with in a nuanced way - Being right or wrong is constructed ! Go beyond! - Are we truly responsible for all our actions? -What it means to be triggered, and how we understand it without trauma -The importance of finding your own path -A howl in the wilderness of modernity -The experience of being an outsider, while still longing for connection -The myth of trauma within the psychedelic world - The cliché of non-reactivity vs. responsiveness – and the risk of overriding one's instinct to be affected – Thinking in elements, because it is all archetypal -Attending to the soul - Understanding suffering and authentic reactions -Our animal nature -Ego defenses and reactions that upsets others -disillusionments of our time -It is an affront to nature and the soul when we can't challenge what we are to learn and speak up about what we feel -Still reactive? Thank God!! TO BE OF THIS EARTH !!! -in terms of astrology we mostly speak jupiter, and I mention a danish therapist, that

If you are curious about mediumship, I really recommend this interview with medium, teacher and author Tiffany Hopkins. We talk about her book, "Beyond – A Living Person's Guide to the Dead" (2025), which I find to be an easy read, as well as very informative and mind-expanding. I would call Tiffany Hopkins a visionary in this area of mediumship, and I am so glad for this conversation with her. You are very welcome to tap in with us as Tiffany Hopkins shares about: -How she became a medium in a town of mediums -Tiffany worked in tech for 20 years, and it is not too far off from mediumship -Spiritualism, the Second Great Awakening, and Lily Dale -How mediumship and working with AI are similar -The need for discernment -Staying connected to different aspects of your being -The foundation of mediumship and why it changes us -The experience becoming real as it is shared -Creativity and mediumship—where you receive and express -The importance of therapeutic support and being validated -The countercultural component of mediumship -Will mediumship be culturally accepted? -Mediumship as inherently healing and care work -The therapeutic context -Now—what if not all the information is from spirit? Tiffany has a neuroscience background and offers her new two metaphors for what is happening in mediumship -Evidence for Spirit -Improvisation as we listen to both at the same time -Can you bring in information and integrate it? -The spiritual connection is not practical! -LONELINESS—and a potential loneliness renaissance -the social construct of this one romantic partner (I relate this comment then to the Pluto in Scorpio generation) -The Pluto in Scorpio generation is born from 5th of November 1983 to 10th of November 1995 (with retrograde returns during the period so be sure to check out your actual birth day) and we talk about the deep heartbreak that often comes in relationship because we are to grow so much, that we need the pain head first- for healing to occur the trauma need expositon/confrontation/that we dare deal with it.  Thank you for being with us- see  the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/-lcloIIbIr4 FIND Tiffanys books right here: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Living-Persons-Guide-Dead/dp/1454958391 Website: https://tiffanyjhopkins.com/unseen   Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/

Today you will meet the best kind of influencer, Iman Moeinian, whose thoughtful YouTube channel brings depth to philosophical questions. Iman Moeinians core interest is in philosophy, metaphysics, especially traditional metaphysics. I invited him to speak with me about René Guénon and Traditionalism, because he did excellent talks on the topic. TAP in with us as we speak about what has been lost in the modern world, and how the timeless wisdom of the ancient traditions can still orient our lives, like when we choose to slow down. I wanted a real casual talk so we could meet in our shared humanity, and I believe it succeeded.  The recorder was on from the beginning, and you are with us through everything!  Here is a few notes about what we go through in our little more than an hour together: -How Guénon has a critique of modern individuality and truth as a personal affair -Guénons bio which is quite secretive  -Intellectual intuition!! (the kind of intuition that today is dismissed as superstition) -The traditional view of art where art should surely delight but also point to higher truth and not only pleasure -Critique of modern psychology! Jung popular, but Iman argues Coomaraswamy is even more important -The question of the subconscious versus spiritual origin of healing -What is metaphysics ?? -We have several critiques actually such as modern writers sometimes borrow from older masters without reference  -We have a great Ananda Coomaraswamy spotlight throughout! He was a philosopher, a major thinker, mastered many languages, he had a precise mathematical style, and not widely read, so he is one Iman is bringing to a wider audience these days.  Of course, we also have fun looking at Iman's chart toward the end. We find astrological clues behind his precise craft, his ability to critique where it's needed, and his spirit of careful service for example by reading, editing, writing, and doing the hard work. Through his Uranus–Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius we see some social reform going strong in past incarnations, and with both planets retrograde, a current-life rethinking of the Aquarian progress and revolt.  I truly recommend Iman Moeinian - you can find some of his work here: https://www.youtube.com/@imanmoeinian   My web is: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ Thank you so much for being with us!!  PS if you prefer the video version and you don't know where to find it - Here it is: https://youtu.be/xHk6zwyXHJI

2026 is a year when the wheel is turning in a big way, and I have the honor of speaking with Gary Lachman shortly after he's turned the big seventy; his own significant turn. Gary is a writer and musician, he was a major influence in mid-1970s as a founding member of the rock band Blondie Blondie and other bands. In the 1990s, he transitioned to full-time writing, producing influential works on mysticism and occultism. This intro is inspired by wikipedia but the book we speak about today is a much more accurate and detailed "presentation" - as we speak of his book that is a memoir of magic, rock and roll, and becoming who you are! It is called "Touched by the Presence: From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult" published november 2025 by Inner Traditions. In the publishers intro it says about Gary that he is a prolific author and lecturer on consciousness, counterculture, and the Western esoteric tradition. The big question about how we went from big music business to that of an esoteric writer, is what the book we speak about, will answer. And. Here we are in the beginning of 2026 talking in way about the forces than can be controlled and those which cannot. At least these my after-reflections. Here are some clues about what you will be tapping into with this wonderful interview with Gary Lachman: -The true self beneath layers of sleep, social conditioning, and optimization -why Gary wrote this memoir differently than his other books: not commissioned, no plan, written during a difficult period as a way to assert and protect his sense of self -a key turning point in 1975: discovering Colin Wilson's The Occult while living on the Bowery and playing with Blondie, and how that book became the doorway into consciousness studies and the esoteric -R.D. Laing and "the sane response to an insane world": family double-binds and gaslighting -the "false world" theme through existentialism and Gnosticism: gnosis as direct felt knowledge, the demiurge idea, and modern parallels like post-truth -"You're poking your finger through this paper wall… it was just scenery, but you had accepted it as reality, and suddenly you realized you could do that" -You might know the name that's on your passport, but who is that person? -the explanation on Gurdjieff's core teaching that is about waking up from "sleep" or mechanical living: -The purpose of the Work (also called the Fourth Way) was to break habitual, unconscious patterns that keep people functioning automatically and Gary personally tried this discipline, and also Aleister Crowleys. -systems of esoteric psychological development -many people (including himself) first encounter the Work through Ouspensky's writing, not through Gurdjieff directly -books like "A New Model of the Universe "opened entire fields for him: the idea of an esoteric current running through histor

"A mystic directly experiences the flowing waters of inspiration in moments that seem to transcend space and time. Yet these, the coordinates of astrology, can still help us describe such events. Astrologers may seek out patterns that trace our treasured mystics' meetings with the muses of their ecstasies. If we succeed, their biographies may gain a brilliant new dimension, revealing some of the cosmic architecture through which spirituality flows." Quote from beginning of a chapter by David Leskowitz from the book we focus on today BY THE NAME: "Sideways from Saturn, Astrological Guidance from the Centaurs" It has just been published here in january 2026 - a long awaited book about the astrological meaning of Centaurs. Centaur refers to a distinct class of planetoid between asteroids and TNO/KBO*. There are so many of them and this episode is meant to inspire you to -rather than give up in overwhelm- to develop a personal and direct relationship to- well some of them! I recommend the book and no one pays me to do that, I just truly love a book that is both inspiring in message and in its form- and also I think it is really needed as someone like myself who has only been in depth familiar with that one Centaur Chiron - here we get a lot deeper into the Centaur family and paradigm. Welcome to this episode and now this text written fully by a human, me, Mannah, I write these for every episode, so that you may get some overview of what it is I invite you to tap into with me. It would be easier and more well written if I took the transcript from zoom or asked chatgpt to mix something up, but then again, what would I use my long lonely nights for, if not writing these show notes. I appreciate you reading and caring for the personal touch! MY GUEST TODAY: David Leskowitz who edited and put the book together is an astrologer, healer, and writer with a BA in religious studies and a decade-long engagement with the Centaurs. He has written for The Mountain Astrologer, The Career Astrologer, and Astro.com, and is the cat-herder of Praesepe Press. (you will learn in the end what it means being a herder of brillant cats) Tap in with us as we speak about: -The Centaur Era -Personal Encounters with the Centaurs -Wisdom from outside of society -Centaur-personalities and subcultures and Centaur-astrologers -Bask in the observations and the messages they bring to us -The differences between the Planets and the Centaurs -Forming personal relationships with Centaurs -Look to your Centaur transits! -Healing with the Centaurs -We talk about several but speak mostly of Chiron and Asbolus -The being behind the symbol -Becoming a conduit -The re-emergence of the relational need in astrology -Observe without agenda -Therapeutic Astrology as

Dr. Steven Farmer is a bestselling author, licensed psychotherapist and somatic therapist, shamanic healer, ordained minister, former college professor, and the creator of many oracle decks (not ORAL I mispronounced when I introduced him ) Tap in with us as we speak about: -Steven's call to shamanism -The samness of trauma therapy and shamanism -Experiences of losing faith in God and later reconnection -Guidance from spirit guides within the therapeutic process -The experience of being a "weird kid" — and the need for something different (for example, an Aquarius Moon) -Inspiring, encouraging, teaching, and healing -Journaling/soul-journaling -The ancestral council that speaks with one voice -Learning to listen to your inner voice -Finding your own spiritual guidance -A direct message from the ancestral council, that Steven channels  -Stevens pitch to everybody about how to get in touch with the sacred via the ancestors -Ancestors as intermediaries -Family secrets and dark laws in the family dynamic -"Your dark law is often the result of ancestral patterns with one or more of your most immediate ancestors being shaped by a similar imperative." -Healing the effects of abuse in the family -The cure in stretching yourself -In the astrological perspective, I touch on the Capricorn–Cancer axis and its connection to lineage and I also mention the Aqurius moon because Steven emphasizes community- and the aquarian moon also points to Stevens music. -Prayers of thanks -A story of spirit animals (distant ancestors) Thank you so much for listening. I hope you enjoyed it. At 78 years, Dr. Steven Farmer brings wisdom and experience and wonderful suggestions for healing, so much so, that we've already agreed to meet again- just the idea of it during the interview calmed me down, because in the first part I already realised there wasn't time for all my questions. Plus a new meeting makes even more sense when I

Intuitive guide Matt Powers is weaving ancient wisdom and cosmic insight into modern life, and that is exactly what he shares with us about in this episode. Matt Powers is formerly a filmmaker, but found his true calling as a vessel for self-discovery, forecasting, and intuitive guidance. Stay with us for this meaningful and layered conversation starting with the explanation about his major turning point after a parentel loss, opening the door for him to recognize and step into his intuitive abilities. Prior to this those same abilities had been misunderstood greatly...  Tap in as we talk about: -What it really means to live and work in alignment with one's inner design -Structures that genuinely align with feelings rather than mere consensus -ADHD and the pressure to conform to a standardized rhythm -Patterns, signs, and symbols in the material world as a way of receiving information -How a regular deck of playing cards can be used as a divination tool -When therapy can become destructive in its attempt to socialize and normalize -Inspiration to reflect on your internal design through self-discovery -How playing cards can tell you about yourself  -What the Mystic Test Book speaks of -How the cards are a model of the revolution around the Sun -Ancient wisdom in modern life that stands the test of time -Cards to simplify and create order (a big theme in Matt's birth chart around exactly order and systems) -The sensitivity we circle back to several times -The nodes of the moon  -Forcasting by playing cards -Attune to your own rhythm  -WHAT mysticism is, the presence of prayer, the language of creation and other jewels, like when Matt shares my card-reading through a love letter! TAP in and reflect with us about the order of things, the flow of the cycles and listen as Matt gives us a walkthrough of how the place the cards on the place of planets and their meaning. Rich episode, we might learn something together in this one!! LINKS: Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ptYdcIjAys   Matt Powers: https://www.powers.guide/ <a href= "https:

"As human beings we have experience and we have story. We tend to shape the experience with story into a form that makes sense, is comfortable for ourselves, and presents us in the best light to others. In the case of psychosis, and other exceptional and anomalous experiences, the experience threatens to overwhelm story. In these circumstances, the obvious recourse is to go to the 'experts', perhaps the doctor, who has a ready story based on the medical model. You are ill. We can treat you." (quoted from Isabel Clarke, Conflicted Stories. A case of expanded reality.) But there is another way..... a way of understanding the mind as permeable, porous and the self being something we create. WELCOME to a rich episode with psychologist Isabel Clarke, who has many years of experience working at the intersection of spiritual emergency and psychosis - with expanded consciousness. Psychosis and spiritual experience both involve entry into another reality – a reality that is integral and vital to human life. As Isabel Clarke points out, this realm can be loving and expansive, but it can also smash the self. A key factor is the ability to move in and out of these states voluntarily. In this conversation, we explore schizotypy as a dimension of human experience, involving sensitivity and openness to anomalous experiences. We speak about two ways of knowing: the scientific mode of precision and division, and a more integrative way of knowing through emotion, imagination, and poetry. Tap in with us as we go into what it means that the mind is open and  what Isabel calls "Myths of Power" - and  also that we need to take serious the shared world, as we can only conduct our lives full time in the shared world. (Her Capricorn Moon is very present, yet constantly balanced by her Libra placements). I also ask her about trauma and openness, and what it means in everyday life what it looks like to be porous.  Isabel Clarke is of a certain age, that is 80 years, and apart from this wonderful meeting, her experience can be found in several books and articles, including:  "Madness, Mystery and the Survival of God" "Third Wave CBT Integration for Individuals and Teams: Comprehend, Cope and Connect" "Meeting Mental Breakdown Mindfully: How to Help the Comprehend, Cope and Connect Way" REMEMBER: We er more connected than we may think!!! I would love to hear from you, when you have heard this episode. It was such a joy to speak to Isabel Clarke and meet h

Okay so the Left-Hand Path is a spiritual philosophy centered on the preservation of an enduring self rather than spiritual dissolution or obedience to an external authority. Listen as Sereptie (Craig) shares how, for him, the term (with ph, lepht hand philosophy) connects to acid communism and the discovery of a portal beyond capitalistic reductionism, opening toward a transcendent renewal. You really have to hear his answer yourself, it will take you on a journey from politics to the inner dream world of truth. You will learn in this episode what he meas by lepht hand philosophy, plus I think a really central theme for ALL OF US CREATORS and ALL OF CONSUMERS of INFORMATION!!! That is: the attention economy - how do we stay true, avoid (being) noise and like "get the best, leave the rest"/try not to be totally destroyed by it? You will get some good suggestions in this episode, plus I think exactly conversations like this are so important, not to just be part of it (the noise) blindly, but reflecting as we are in that nonestop information flood, that we got going on, inside as outside.  Sereptie Craig is so intellectually stimulating to speak to, and so soulful as well as his Gemini Sun and Pisces Moon are really central to everything we discuss-  and I mean, anyone who loves philosophy will enjoy when he speaks. Tune in as Sereptie shares what his philosophical school is about, what his dream would is reaching for, and how he relates to his tarot-deck creations and personal astrological chart where we end up staying for a bit there in the end, because his curiosity turns out to be more fun than a certain scepticism he also carries. Don't miss this one... I'm telling you... it's some good stuff right here. -Mannah LINKS: video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjliAYaOJas Sereptie: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizon (find all this links through this) Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/

John Michael Greer is an award-winning author of over fifty books and an initiate of Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Martinist Order, and several Druid traditions. He also served for twelve years as Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America. I'm delighted to be with him to explore some of the themes from, what at this exact moment is his newest book, "Revisioning the Tree of Life; A New Cabala for Magic, Meditation and Pathworking" – it is hard to keep track when you are such an active gemini mind that John is. Join us as we talk about: -How John Michael Greer came to take on the work of John Gilbert -Why Western occultism can be understood as Middle Platonism dressed in wizard's robes -Use the Tree of Life as a tool (not a truth) -Here is a quote that I reflect back to John: "As I write these words, the Western world is stumbling through a cascade of difficult cultural transformations set in motion by the failure of the cult of progress mentioned earlier, to make good on its promises. The rationalist materialism that provided that cult with its impetus has begun to crumble as it became clear to too many people that the artificial world coupled together by human reason in the service of collective ego has turned out to be unfit for human habitation. The most common response to that realization is to fight back to the dogmatic religious ideologies of an earlier day. Too few people have noticed that it was precisely those belief systems with their inevitable abuses in the hands of entrenched and often despotic hierarchies that made rationalist materialism inevitable and built the foundations for its temporary triumph." -that leads to us talking about progress.... John says we trust progress like a superstition ! -If archetypes are not only psychological, the implications are .....? Think with us please.. how archetypes move through individuals and manifest collectively, is it energies trying to express themselves through us? John speaks about how Figuration that is a shifting pattern of interdependence formed by human beings – things are not as solid as they seem -DESIRE (one of my favorit themes that John mentions in his book) Remember: we desire what we do not fully possess....... is all desire for the Divine? Possibly! -Projections of shadow (can you hear how close occultism and in depth trauma therapy is?) -The second triad with WILL, IMAGINATION and MEMORY -the tree of life and archetypes and how it helps to have more control, to have thoughts rather than thoughts having you (again link trauma therapy and....the great Merlin!) -John's strong Gemini emphasis, which is what I feel he refers to as his two secret weapons -What lead John to the Kabbalah and to the Golden Dawn Order</p

It's a real honour to be with Jim Sher, a seasoned astrologer and therapist. He leads a mystery school devoted to a holistic, dialogical approach to astrology and metaphysics. Jim has practiced astrology for over 45 years and has taught it for more than 25 years. His book from 2025 is called "Astrology as a Spiritual Path: Birth of the New Human". In this episode we of course talk about his take on astrology with therapy and how it's an attempt to bring spirit back into modern psychology. We then go on to talk about: -How astrology is spiritual path -What is the connection to hermeticism -Transpersonal psychology/astrology -The experience of archetypes -Yet how you are also unique -Resistance to going onyour spiritual path -Towards higher levels of consciousness -Are we still survival-based and what kind of astrology do we yearn for in this time? -the longing is where it begins -Awakening to the friction -Dane Rudhyar and the law of one's being -The importance of self-actualization  I really hope you enjoy this one, where Jim Sher takes time take us into his work and thinking. In the end I look at his birth chart, in dialouge with the Jim though, and as we both have the south node in scorpio it is not hard to agree on the need for alchemy, therapy and shadow work around the ancestral line - and in the end also disidentification from the chart. I would love to hear from you if you too enjoyed this episode.

Sometimes, in the world of interviewing, a few cancellations suddenly leave you weeks without a new episode woops! So I figured it was time to take matters into my own hands (voice?) and ease into a SOLO episode during this dry spell. And honestly, I'm in the best company with the artist and pioneer in the humanist approach to astrology, Dane Rudhyar(1895-1985). I start off with a bit of personal chit-chat,,, feel free to skip ahead and then at some point I dive into Dane Rudhyar's book "Astrology of Transformation, A Multilevel Approach" from 1980. I read bits, reference key passages, and occasionally offer my own reflections or sound effects along the way - so it is very unlike an audiobook, more like, let's understand the essence here. With a mix of personal favorites of his quotes. I go through his prologue, first chapter and into his second chapter in which I don't stay long....To be continued!!! IF YOU UNDERSTAND my pronounciation, then you will learn about what astrology is for, what the transpersonal means, intro to levels of consciousness, psychological investigations at the borderline of consciouness, yin and yang approaches to life (and astrology) and that we all can become MORE than what we are if only defined by our conditions.   Thank you for being here!! You have a place to call Whole (BTW just a small note: I say "whole" a lot in this episode when reading about his yin approach. I hope you can hear the W in there and don't mistake it for "holes".) -Mannah MY WEBSITE HERE: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/

Kingsley Dennis, author and researcher, points to an honest truth in our collective mind. We talk a bit about "Healing the Wounded Mind: The Psychosis of the Modern World and the Search for the Self," his book from 2019, but actually our conversation centers on a theme that runs through ALL of his books. There are more than twenty; and he has one published this year too! Kingsley has an academic background but left academia to write and research with more freedom. I love his unpretentious yet truly brilliant energy — and I think you will love him too. Tap in as we speak about: -What the wound in the collective mind is about -How to be authentic in a digital world -Who can we trust? -Ways of knowing - and knowing what thoughts are our own -The perennial tradition - the eternal truth -How to heal! -I dare to compare parts of Kingsleys astrology chart to a danish journalist who is also revealing truth - the documentary that I mention is written about here: https://nordiskfilmogtvfond.com/news/stories/people-say-film-art-or-journalism-cant-change-the-world-forget-that-it-can -a lot more good stuff, for sure want to recommend you stay to the end with this one Be safe and good for you that you found this podcast!!

This episode is both an interview and a kind of guided meditative reflection, inviting you to sink more deeply into your true nature. I say that because my guest, Georgi Y. Johnson, has a magnetic way of speaking – precise and deeply attuned – and she touches directly into the most sensitive, often unspoken places in our experience. Georgi Y. Johnson is a spiritual psychologists, author of I think 8 books, including (the one I found first) I AM HERE and Nonedual Therapy: The psychology of Awakening TAP in with us as we speak of such huge deep sensitive topics as: How Nondual Therapy first emerged as a therapeutic approach Unity, contraction in the self, and the sense of "otherness" Innocence - do you identify with it? Touching on political themes, even those are welcome here Awakening and suffering as part of a deeper healing process What it means to be unconditionally alive Depersonalization when the light of consciousness is free – and how this can be healing at a deeper level When you are aware of a pattern but still cannot seem to change it The innocent aspect of you is suffering ANGER and how to give space it through the lower half of your body ALSO- Georgi is a wonderul speaker and person to reflect with, so halfway through I try to ask a question but I can't gather my thoughts entirely, but she manages to answer exactly that which I didn't ask. RECOMMENDED listening for sure - in astrology we speak of a virgo stellium with chiron in pisces in opposition to that. Thank you for being with us - hope you recieved a lot from it -Mannah Here is a link for Georgi: https://www.iamhere.life/ Link for Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ youtube video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7yJLDdq8oM

Let's talk about navigating darkness! Everyone on a spiritual path encounters challenges, and in this chapter of TAP we meet author Oholomo, who talks about rather than transcending or letting go, we can welcome and fully embody them- so that its energy can be liberated and expressed in the present. When we awaken DOWN into life it begins with a Descent. The call to the Below can take many forms and we each have our own personal experience of it. Like Oholomo says in this book, "Awakening the below": "Once we turn toward the call, whether through our choice or not, a chasm will open up and we will be drawn down into its darkness. This process is never a perfectly step-by-step linear one, and everyone's experience is unique. Some people find themselves having dramatic mystical experiences when moving through the Below, while others have more of a gradual unfolding. Some people experience high levels of absorption whereby their entire reality seems to be shaped by the Below to the exclusion of all else. Others are able to maintain a wider, more holistic perspective that allows them to do the work of integration as they go along. Awakening the Above and Below may happen sequentially or simultaneously, or perhaps all mixed together." People, you really don't want to miss this one—especially if you've known darkness in your own life. My hope is that it inspires you to go deeper and experiment with a model that isn't about disidentifying from the darkness, but about fully sinking into it. Oholomo articulates this with such clarity, and his voice has a quality that seems to draw you directly into the Below, I feel inspired to move further myself.  Welcoming any comment you might have as usual. -Mannah Links The book we speak about:  https://spirit.aeonbooks.co.uk/product/awakening-the-below/95385 ATB20 -code valid until ​17/12/25 and will give you 20% off Oholomo: awakeningthebelow.com    oholomo.com   <a href="http://facebook.com/oholomo" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/

You've got to hear this one! At least if you're not afraid of talking about meaninglessness — and the antidote to it. My guest today has combined his psychoanalytic lens with a deep reading of an ancient biblical text. I love combining perspectives, especially when the purpose is healing! Meet Paul Marcus, PhD — psychoanalyst, supervisor, and author of numerous books. Today we dive into the themes of his newest work, Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes (Routledge, 2025). As they write in the book description: "Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes will be of interest to psychoanalysts exploring spirituality and the human condition, and to academics and students of psychoanalytic studies, religious studies, Judaic studies, and philosophy." Tap in with us as we explore: – Perspectives on meaninglessness — because life really does feel that way sometimes (but LOVE changes everything!) – Who Koheleth was, and how he moved through despair – The psychology of work: job, career, and calling – The Moon, Pluto, and South Node as symbols of a self-centered or image-focused mother – Ways of healing and why we become therapists! Freud is every present in the conversation - here is a quote from the book to understand why: "Koheleth, like Freud, is characterized by his unshakable intellectual honesty, his courageous use of reason in facing the most agonizing problems of life, his absolute refusal to sureness where he saw ambiguity and uncertainty, and the relentless devotion to truth, regardless of the uncomfortable ramification in one's personal life". I truly loved talking to Paul Marcus, his honesty touched me, and I deeply appreciate that. Let's say it like it is: sometimes it's tough. We meet resistance, not only in our clients but within ourselves, and there are good reasons for that. Change takes time. So I hope you feel inspired by this ancient preacher we talk about — and mind you, we speak of the text in a symbolic, not literal, way...

"Once we start to think of the mind as itself consisting of a kind of "space", which other fields of influence can shape, distort, or form pathways within, there are many obvious parallels with the physics of the cosmos." Quote from our guest today Phil Mollon, who is currently with this new book: "The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers", 2026, by Karnac Books. Phil Mollon, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and energy psychotherapist. He is well-known as a writer and speaker on topics including shame, trauma, dissociation, self-psychology, and EMDR – and has pioneered the development of psychoanalytic energy psychotherapy.  TAP in as we speak about: How the human mind is a fractal of cosmos Quantum in the dreamworld Therapy and superposition The unified field is a self-organizing living system How information is stored holographically and the structure of the brain follows a holographic pattern and minds are organs for dealing with information! The physics is as usual a little beyond my understanding (Mannah here) so here is a qoute from the book to help: "The mind and brain display quantum qualities. Although the brain influences consciousness, there is also a way in which consciousness selects brain states in both self and other." This is when we speak of the primacy of consciousness What does it imply that we are plasma? The concept of mental radio In closing Phil shares something to reflect on; the parallel of the speed of light and of thoughts (Here is a quote from pga 62 that underlines that: "A computer with a slower processor can do most of the same tasks as a faster processor, just more slowly. Many educational systems fail to recognise neurodiversity and the relativity of different brains and modes of learning (Forchelli et al., 2022). Moreover, there can be advantages in slowing the presentation of information right down, as in meditation. The equation indicates that as the movement of conscious focus slows towards a point, intelligence expands towards infinity!")

"Life is beginning to shift. There is a momentum growing. Our understanding of biology, our expectations about health, our priorities in life are changing. We expect more now. The same old ways, the same old answers from science regarding health, no longer satisfy." (From Dr. Catherine Clinton's upcoming book, OPTIMIZE, pre-order possible) You will be so smart after listening to this interview, where we explore the invisible forces that shape our wellness and the science of unlocking the body's healing power through quantum biology. My guest, Dr. Catherine Clinton, author of "Optimize: A 7-Step Plan to Health and Longevity through Quantum Biology", helps us understand that "we don't end at the barriers of our skin," reminding us that we are intimately linked to each other and the world around us.

Special episode with natural philosopher and cosmic technologist Alex Reuter. Alex is the creator of STARFIELDS, an innovative astrology app with a deeper vision. It is a newer initiative, so you can influence what it develops into by sending Alex your thoughts about it by writing him here: https://starfields.app/contact  Alex is so excited about Astrology and how it has changed his life. In this episode we talk about his motivation behind the project, his hopes for how technology can support rather than replace human connection, and his response when I insinuate that the automatization of astrology is a little scary! Alex shares how astrology apps can truly complement our lives — and how his work with STARFIELDS aims to help people discover their soul's purpose in this lifetime.

Consciousness can be experienced in many diverse ways — such as the normal waking state, REM dreaming, states brought on by psychedelics, states of being under light anaesthetic etc. How is psychosis different from other states? And how is the sense of self experienced during psychosis? Today's guest: Shauna Winram is a PhD candidate in the School of Philosophy, Australian National University, I am so glad that she shares her research and her personal perspectives with us! TAP in to this fascinating conversation about: - How individuals may or may not realise they're in a different reality during psychosis. - How the mental-health system often fails people through lack of therapeutic support, stigma, and disempowerment. - How understanding that psychosis is part of the diversity of human experience can help reduce stigmatising these experiences - Shauna Winram's own lived experience of psychosis - Why we shouldn't romanticise these states — but need to ensure that people are helped and treated properly - Balancing ✨spirit and matter✨ - What are global states of consciousness? ...and more!

Kaedrich Olsen is a seasoned Paranormal Arts Mentor, and in this episode he shares about Sacred Masculinity and how to relate to the modern world through inspiration from Norse mysticism. A small note from me: I trusted my microphone to be on, but it didn't connect to my computer for some reason, so my audio is less fortunate — I hope you can flow with it!! Tap in to hear some juicy parts about how Kaedrich has been studying Norse mythology, mysticism, and the old belief systems since his teenage years. He discovered the runes and even translated the Poetic Edda himself to understand the Old Norse mindset. The Norse people lived with spirituality as an everyday part of life — what we call the supernatural was simply the invisible part of nature. TAP in as we dive into the topic of the sacred masculine and: -The mature warrior is calm, self-contained, and protects out of love for what's behind him — family, home, community. – The sovereign archetype, or sacred king, holds vision, builds alliances, and uplifts others rather than hoarding power. – In Old Norse stories, the best rulers were called "Ring Breakers" and "Haters of Gold" because they gave away wealth to strengthen their people. – Not just warriores, but the craftsman, the magician, the sage  – Take individual responsibility and choose what truly makes sense to you instead of following the collective mindset – The current turmoil in the world is like a collective shadow surfacing, calling us to evolve – Loki, the Norse trickster, stirs things up and creates discomfort, but when the dust settles, everyone is better off!! – I also get his take on the Vikings tv-series- he in stead recommends "The North Man" and "The Last Kingdom" and shares that Ragnar Lothbrok is "sort of like a King Arthur figure," likely an "amalgam."

Do you know that tension between your imagined life and the "real" one? and at this time do you feel the systems breakdown and the potential "heroes" rising? In this episode, astrologer, writer, and podcaster Adam Sommer helps me tap into the Saturn–Neptune conjunction — a 36-year cycle, yet they have not met in Aries since year 1703. I share my most recent story of feeling disillusioned or we could say that an authority "gave up on me", and that could fit the Saturn-Neptune as well. TAP IN with us as we look at how to avoid its shadow expressions such as victimization martyrdom and escapism, which could take us over, when what goes on just seems too void of purpose. Adam reflects on historic turning points that relates to this transit and how this rare alignment invites us to build new structures for collective dreams - and Aries is the sign of THE SPARK OF LIFE. There's the disenchantment, the necessary confrontation and then there's all the possibilities!!  Stay with LOVE, stay with FORGIVENESS, and REMEMBER — appearances aren't always the TRUE FACT. That's how I make peace with being unexpectedly kicked out of therapy school (when I am done being angry) - and everything else that's going on that seems random at times. In astrology of course there are many transits happening, but I like just tuning sometimes to some particular background energy (we mentions others too), like we do in this chapter, and so I hope you enjoy it and get some helpful reflections for your own context and situations in daily life. -Mannah LINKS to Adam: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ direct to his pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/constellating-cosmos-an-astrological-lens/id413880792   My web: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/   Youtube Version of this episode: https://youtu.be/zcQdmIYp150

WELCOME to this conversation with translator and esoteric researcher Yury Pankratov, who has translated "The Encyclopedia of Occultism" by the early 20th-century Russian occultist and Martinist teacher Grigori Mebes. Yury's own journey went from computer engineering in Russia to the hidden traditions of Western esotericism and the rediscovery of Russian Martinism – a spiritual current rooted in the teachings of Martinez de Pasqually, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, and Papus. TAP in with us as we talk about: – The rise of Russian Martinism and the soul's fall and reintegration – Occultism is a training of thought  – Mebes' model of Archetype, Man, and Nature – The astral plane as a bridge between spirit and matter – The mystery of Egregores – collective fields of consciousness that shape, heal, and influence human life – The creative polarity of manifestation expressed through Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh – How the Tarot serves as a initiatory alphabet  – The three stages of initiation – physical, astral, and archetypal – and the meaning of inner alchemy – What it means to make gold by first having gold – Yury's own practice of astrological theurgy through Orphic hymns and planetary communion – Reflections on Mebes' astrology, the question of free will versus fate – Mebes' later life and the happenings due to the Russian Revolution Thank you so much for being with us!! LINKS Here is the book we speak of: https://spirit.aeonbooks.co.uk/product/encyclopedia-of-occultism/95373 Here is Yury's substack:

"The Book of Thoth inspires students to progress from foundational knowledge of Magick and Mysticism to a deeper engagement with the writings of Aleister Crowley and other luminaries".... "Step onto the sacred path mapped by the Book of Thoth—a gateway to spiritual mastery and cosmic understanding. Whether you're an aspirant seeking the wisdom of the A∴A∴ or a student of esoteric traditions, this profound manual offers the Keys to navigate the Map of the Universe." - (Direct quotation from by Paul Hughes-Barlow) Welcome to an episode that goes behind the new book "THE SECRET OF THE THOTH TAROT The Origins of Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth" by Paul Hughes-Barlow published on Aeon Books.  TAP in as we speak about some background story of Aleister Crowley and also topics like: -Pauls process with writing the book (that was in fact channelled) -Crowley's obsession with Tarot  -Eliphas Levi -The number of Mercury and Christ -The promise to have contact with the Hidden Masters -Freemasonry  -Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, as influencing Crowley's ethic -Crowley stayed Christian -To hide your light under a bushel -What all the secrecy is about!! -The four levels on the Qabalistic Tree of Life <span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;

"Every single person has a deep storehouse of mysterious Yin, rife with potential richness, meaningful innovation, and the terrifying unknown. When one knows how to walk in a Yin way, they orient themselves to the fabric of reality. This is why one who navigates life in a Yin way is masterful, because they work with the current of the cosmos and they feel the contextual web of possibility." A quote from the book "Yin Mysticism and the vesica Piscis" by my guest today, Brynja Magnussen. Inspiring and beautiful book. Brynja Magnussen is an artist in the visionary and psychedelic genres and an author of archetypal and energetic reference books. In this episode we dive into Yin Mysticism and the mind's hidden currents. TAP IN as we speak about themes such as: -Hypnosis & Yin: "Hypnosis holds a special role in the modalities of Yin because it directly approaches the Yin subconscious from a wakeful YANG state." -A world short on Yin: "The subjugation of and separation from YIN over millennia is bound to begin manifesting in neuropathology."  -ADHD & unchecked YANG paradigm -Separation as mystical-mundane. Why the most profound transformations leave you alone afterward -Seasonal depression and what one could do about it -Astrology !! As we speak about modern life over-privileges analytical, fragmentary, left-hemisphere styles— a Yang tendency—at the expense of contextual, embodied, relational, integrated, holististic form of knowing. Eclipse seasons (literal alignments, shadow and light) are a good time to rebalance toward Yin qualities such as: recovering, attunement, dark unknown.

Welcome to TAP in with Gabrielle Perez, who has a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and almost twenty years of astrological practice. Like myself Gabrielle is a professional in both fields of therapy and astrology - which in short is connected by the ability to help people (and ourselves) connect with the unconscious. (Pluto in Scorpio) In this conversation we get to know each other's work a little bit while also reflecting about the meaning of our current times. We begin by exploring Gabrielle's journey from mental health counseling to astrological practice - other alternative healing modalities. Back then she had a Uranus on the MC experience and is currently getting to know Pluto transits. We talk about trust as we share a Pisces/Scorpio signature, meaning we have experienced trust-shattering events, and many times realized less control and agency than other might be inclined to. Then soon we go into why bridging therapy/psychology and astrological insight can serve deep healing plus how to navigate the Virgo Pisces eclipse with all the background of shifting outer planets. That is my very short resume, but I encourage you to listen in, I feel very honored and glad that Gabrielle Perez takes the time in this one to not only share her work but also interpret for us how best to relate to the energy. AFTER the interview I received this wonderful text from her linking to the point in our conversation, where she forgot something and I actually directed us to something else so it didn't come back TILL NOW-- so here is what she wrote me: "I remembered what I was going to say about the Pluto in Scorpio generation which is that we are the first generation with substantial access to therapy. The USA is founded by traumatized people that continued to inflict that trauma on the Native Americans, African slaves and each other. I believe the Pluto in Scorpio generation is healing and transmuting that. And because we are doing that work, this Pluto out of bounds cycle has the opportunity to actually bring transformation that raises the vibration of the planet." ENJOY and keep reflecting with us and reading the energy to enter deeper into your own alchemical process. You have a place to call Whole. -Mannah LINKS to Gabrielle: https://www.luminousastrology.com/   <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-astro-attunement-podcast-grounding-cosmic-wisdom/id1802940770"

Coherence Coach Colin Karewa Forbes is an active Substack writer and in this episode of TAP, we explore the story behind his tagline "Surf the Spiral." Tap in if you're curious about awakening  from the turbulence of ego-based outcome consciousness into the steady current of process-oriented, Integrated Self! We discuss these Sagittarian themes: -An experience of Oneness-  Constant expansion – Leaving religion—only to find more religion? – The search for truth– Growing a little every day – The importance of reading symbols- Do the astrological archetypes represent ultimate limits, or can consciousness evolve beyond them? – The construct …and much more. This is just the beginning—an initial conversation with Colin.

"We are fully alive in their alternative world when we dream them. When we have bad dreams or nightmares, or any dream for that matter, our body/mind system does not differentiate between waking experiences and sleeping experiences." – Linda Schiller, PTSDreams: Transform Your Nightmares from Trauma through Healing Dreamwork (2022) Welcome to this rich and dreamy chapter of TAP, where I speak with Linda Schiller—psychotherapist, author, and expert on the neurobiology of trauma and dreams. Plus she seems much of an eclectic such as myself, as she studied many fields within the healing work, (which we get to enjoy as listeners) We begin with the "sameness" of dreams and trauma. As Linda writes, "The past and the present become entangled and confused, much as in a dream state." It is about reconnecting with our enlivened self, Linda explains as we go through what makes dreamwork such a unique path to healing and how it relates to active imagination- how working with dreams can resolve long-standing trauma. We also talk about dream-memories after overcoming drug abuse, Linda Schillers PARDES system rooted in Kabbalah and the healing process called Memory Reconsolidation. Basically I get as much in there as I can in one hour and I am so happy for the result - hope you enjoy it too. Dream well till next time. - Mannah LINKS Find more about Linda Schillers work here: http://www.lindayaelschiller.com www.moderndreamwork.com www.ptsdreams.com www.ancestral-dreaming Link to the dream organisation Linda mentions in the beginning:  https://www.asdreams.org/   My (Mannah) website: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/   The youtube version of this episode:   https://youtu.be/x2eNWudW3C0

Let's TAP into perhaps the last episode ever. I like how we landed on the number 108, which is the number of making the cosmic alignment of the total solar eclipse possible, because the distance from Earth to the Moon is about 108 times the diameter of the Moon. In spiritual traditions the number 108 also hold great significance - anyway, I didn't mean for it to happen now, it just so happens, that I have stretched myself too far, and now that Neptune is on my natal Mercury, I must slow down and give way.  I hate cancelling so I am taking it in small steps. At least for now I have cancelled interviews in the month of may, and let's see what June brings. Maybe I will need to come back on, and maybe a break will turn into a lifestyle.  Regardless - thank you for being here.

Yay – Rebecca Martin Hart is in the house! I mean... the House of Hygeia!!- In this episode, we TAP into the astrological meaning of Hygeia, the goddess of health, and explore her role in the birth charts of significant healers – as well as examples of her extreme opposites. For me, Hygeia in the birth chart represents how you can support others in healing. If you're working in a therapeutic or healing field, Hygeia reveals your unique vibration—your particular way of contributing to others' well-being - including emotional. I'm still relatively new to this understanding, which is why I invited a true Hygeia expert & lover to bring more depth to you. Rebecca Martin Hart is a holistic healer, astrologer, and founder of House of Hygeia. In this episode, she shares insights into Hygeia's mythology and symbolism, discussing how this asteroid reflects an individual's healing journey and potential health imbalances. Hygeia is often associated with health (maintenance & prevention) and the holistic view of body, mind, and spirit— through routines/ rituals, and a balanced live. How can we actually work with Hygeia  in our healing practice? Join this conversation and learn more—we share examples of Hygeia in Aquarius, Libra, on the angles, and on the lunar nodes. So  pleased you're with us.

"MAKE THE PAST YOUR STEPPING STONE" says my guest today, and I think Saturn in Aries are behind that as well. Join us as we are speaking about karmic constellations with Yael Eini, developer of the Karmic Constellation method The Karmic Constellation method by Yael Eini has spiritual roots, as it draws from Yaels experience in energy healing and family constellation work,. What we talk about today is a method to trace karma, those old patterns we carry without even knowing why. In her book, Karma Healing, Yael shows how past-life traumas and unresolved soul contracts show up in our relationships, our fears, our repeating life themes. She writes on page 30: "The purpose of karma is soul growth. When we meet someone, the interaction we create with them is karma. It motivates us, it teaches us, it allows us to accumulate experiences, and it helps us to develop both as human beings and as souls. And yes, encountering the other can be painful, even very painful. At the same time, this pain is not a punishment; rather, it is an invitation to learn. The person may not learn, but the soul learns." This is SO aligned with Evolutionary Astrology where we see the birth chart as a map of the soul's intentions, some call it a karmic blueprint. We can see the memories of previous incarnations through archetypal patterns. We interpret the chart related to evolutionary journey of the soul, so that placements describe past-life dynamic, especially through the lunar nodes and planetary aspects to them, but really all of the chart are soul memories. That's why I am fascinated with Yaels work, because she has a method of working therapeutically with a past life story. In this interview we explore how the soul has a very different opinion that the human, and how to use representatives to unite karma and rewrite soul contracts. Tap right into the links below.
