The Tarot Diagnosis Shannon Knight

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m getting nerdy and exploring the topic of Tarot and Social Psychology. I spend time dissecting the concepts of power, authority, conformity, and prejudice through the lens of tarot archetypes and then I dive into the world of attitudes and actions. 



I guide listeners through an enlightening exercise I first introduced to members of The Tarot Diagnosis community - The Symposium during a monthly workshop series. Tune in to participate in a social psychology and tarot exercise to help you better understand yourself and deepen your relationship to the cards.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m getting existential. There’s been an uptick in discussion in my therapy practice around the concept of death, the meaning of life, and existential dread. So, naturally I’m turning to tarot to help me examine, ponder, and even come to terms with my own existential dread.



The Five of Cups, Queen of Swords, Hanged Man, Two of Wands, and Nine of Cups all make an appearance and help to write the narrative of an existential crisis. I’m inspired by Freud’s essay “On Transience” as well as the work of Dr. Irvin Yalom this episode.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m back after a short hiatus with the anchor of The World. I reflect personally on what this card represents for me as I feel like I’m very much in the middle of a World moment - a lot of culmination, completion, and new beginnings swirling around me. All of which is why I have been rather quiet on social media and the podcast the last few months. I sincerely appreciate all of you who have reached out after noticing I had been a bit quiet. Rest assured, I’ll be back to regular, weekly episodes soon!



For now, enjoy this brand new episode where I explore The World card through the lens of Carl Jung’s concept of individuation and through Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (aka Parts Work - because you all know I love some parts work!).



I also walk you through a specific exercise rooted in IFS theory to help you better understand your true core self! So, grab your favorite deck and follow along with me.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I am joined by author and artist Monica Bodirsky. Together we traverse the world of Judgement and explore how powerful language can be when it comes to tarot and the importance of using our *discretion* when it comes to not only how we interpret the cards, but also the words, meanings, and associations we assign to them.

She is the author and artist of seven tarot, oracle and Lenormand decks and guidebooks including the bestselling Shadowland Tarot (Red Feather Mind, Body and Spirit) and the recently released Awakening Tarot: An Elemental Approach.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I invite you to step into the transformative practice of Shadow Work, guided by the symbolism of The Sun card. Unpacking the teachings of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, I explore how the shadow encompasses suppressed fears, desires, and insecurities within us. Contrary to common misconceptions, the shadow isn't inherently dark; it also encompasses lighter aspects we've pushed aside. Shadow Work involves bravely bringing these hidden aspects into the light for personal growth and healing.

I highlight the importance of ongoing self-reflection and dispel the notion that Shadow Work is a quick fix. Drawing parallels with Freud's id, ego, and superego, I offer insights into understanding these concepts for a deeper exploration of the shadow self.

Tune in as I introduce a tarot spread inspired by Freud's theories, designed to aid in navigating the complexities of shadow work. I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery, as I pull cards to a meaty shadow work spread and work to uncover the transformative power of integrating our shadows to embrace authenticity and promote liberation.

This week’s episode is a break from tarot heavy content and instead taking a step into the world of astrology – specifically the role of the moon and our moon sign.

I’m joined by astrologer and psychic medium Alexander Kriech who shares his wisdom and experience with us and guides us through the importance of the moon and what it means for each of us.

Alex sheds light on how the moon can represent more than repression, shadows, and deep emotions – but also our relationship with our mother. So, this episode is timely on the heels of the “Healing the Mother Wound” episode.

Alexander Kriech an Astrologer and Psychic Medium located in Denver, Colorado. He has been working professionally in the spirituality field since 2015. 

He is passionate about helping you get clarity, insight, and healing with his no-B.S. approach and practical, grounded energy.

When he's not staring at the night sky or recording a podcast, I can usually be found playing Dungeons and Dragons, hiking and enjoying nature, at a Drag show, or taking a nap with his cats. 

You can out more about my work at his website www.dogstaroracle.com, or connect with him on TikTok and Instagram at @DogStarOracle. 



You can also listen to his podcast "To The Stars! An Astrology and Intuition Podcast" on Spotify, Apple, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.
