Therapeutic Astrology Podcast

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.

YAY Mark Jones is back, and we begin by TAPping into the role a therapist in the future - and then we go from there. Of course for us therapy involves a birth chart, this special map for deeper insight on what the purpose of it all is. Astrology and psychology need each other. But how does the field of therapy look in the future? Here are some key points we dive into: The Future of Therapy: The conversation opens with a vision for how therapy might evolve. We discuss that therapy is no longer just about traditional models – it's becoming more individualized, more integrative - Saturn Archetype Changing: Mark notes that the archetype of Saturn is shifting. Where it once represented rigid norms and societal expectations, there is now more room for personal authority, unique self-expression, and freedom. However - we shouldn't reinvent the wheel every time either.... Neurodivergence and Pluto in Aquarius: I bring up neurodivergence, linking it to Pluto in Aquarius. Mark reflects on how we are moving away from the systemic, hierarchical nature of Pluto in Capricorn into a more decentralized, knowledge-sharing era. This allows for new voices, new minds, and new ways of being to emerge. However... Pluto in Aquarius & Uranus in Gemini: Mark adds that Pluto in Aquarius alongside Uranus in Gemini will foster rapid technological innovation, particularly around how we process and understand information. This could revolutionize fields like therapy, communication, and even consciousness. AI and Therapy: The question arises: Can AI be a therapist? Well... not a very sacred therapist? Materialism vs. Sacred Imagination: A central critique is how materialism has narrowed the meaning of astrological archetypes. Mark calls for a return to sacred imagination, where astrology isn't just about prediction or personality, but about engaging with something transcendent and mystical.   Thank you for being with us Find Mark Jones here: https://markjonesastrology.com/ [https://markjonesastrology.com/] Mannah here: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ [https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/]   youtube version of this show: https://youtu.be/UCKaV-IGhpU [https://youtu.be/UCKaV-IGhpU]

Joanne Twombly, MSW, LICSW, integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) with essential knowledge from the complex trauma and dissociation field for safer, more effective treatment of C-PTSD and dissociative disorders. She's got more than 30 years of experience in the field of treating dissociation! In her book "Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems: How to Successfully Treat C-PTSD and Dissociative Disorders", she writes that: “Dissociation is a protective defense that, in a way, hides oneself from oneself.” In this interview, Joanne Twombly shares her argument for trauma-informed adaptations to standard IFS. Here is some of what we cover: – “Dissociation is a protective defense that, in a way, hides oneself from oneself.” In this interview, Joanne shares her argument for trauma-informed adaptations to standard IFS. Here is some of what we cover: – Dissociation, and how to dissociate "better"—which gives choice and control - Use the trance you are in! – Dissociative parts can show up as numb, deaf, robot, or sex-only parts. As Joanne explains, all of them have a survival purpose, and healing requires compassionate engagement—not suppression – Hypnotic language as a tool to support engagement, symptom management, and communication with parts – Orienting parts to the present: essential when parts are stuck in past timelines or multiple subjective realities - Being even with affects  – How to combine IFS with phase-oriented trauma treatment to create a safe and effective model – Using containers to hold trauma until it’s safe to process – Creating safe spaces for parts not actively participating in a session – Safe Space Imagery: stick around as Joanne offers a brief, guided experience - It helps parts manage overwhelming material.
