This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we explore the intersection of fantasy and reality - where daydreams meet the realities of lived experience. True story: in 1997 Luna took a job working at a summer camp where a reality show called Bug Juice was being filmed and featured Luna as one of the camp counselors. The show aired on The Disney Channel and developed a pretty big following. Every once in a while, the show remerges on social media. Lately, it’s been on TikTok – which prompted us to explore the intersection of reality and fantasy. From Three of Swords to The Fool, tarot helps guide us as we explore the health benefits of daydreaming and fantasy and also the realities and pitfalls of getting lost in that space.   Join us for this unique conversation about the need for fantasy and daydreaming, how it serves us and how it can hurt us - while also exploring the reality of the experiences of those who can inspire the dreams (and how that experience isn’t always magical).  Decks used: Modern Witch and Golden Art Nouveau Have a topic you’d like to hear up talk about? We’re always interested in hearing your suggestions! Click here to submit a topic!

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we take a philosophical journey through the often elusive world of Self-Worth.   We explore the various factors that can contribute to our sense of self-worth, as well as the challenges that can arise when our sense of self-worth is compromised. People will talk about self worth (and its first cousin, self esteem) all the time. It’s hard to spend 10 minutes on social media without having someone say something about it. The problem is, most of us have always struggled at least a little bit with having good self worth - and very few people talk about what that is, and more importantly, what to do with that. We begin our journey with the Eight of Swords and Seven of Pentacles as we explore the tension between feeling trapped and acknowledging our accomplishments. We then invite in the energies of The Magician and Two of Cups, Strength, The Hermit, and The World while we talk about how our past impacts our personal narrative and what we can do to change that.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we explore an often universal phenomenon that so many of you have asked us to talk about: Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is a phrase that gets thrown around lot in our world, but what does it really mean? And - if it’s something we struggle with, what can we do about it? We have a remarkable start to the episode as we both pull a Page - which sets the tone for our exploration into the wide and wild world of imposter syndrome. The truth is, we can all experience imposter syndrome, but it can come from very different places and needs to be tended to in a variety of ways. While the experience is universal, the root is often very personal. Join us while we dive into the internal world of imposter syndrome through the eyes of Pages, and also spend some quality time with the Nine of Swords, Three of Cups, Three of Pentacles, Ace of Cups, and Two of Wands.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we get real on a topic that we’ve been noticing personally, professionally, and within the greater tarot community - feeling Stuck in a Rut. It’s a normal part of our human experience to feel stuck and like every day is the same and to wish we felt more inspired and engaged. But just because it’s normal, doesn’t mean it feels good. First cards of the episode don’t hold back: Death, Three of Swords and Four of Cups. Oof, but accurate. And from there, we go all out - talking about what this experience feels like, why we land in it, what makes it so hard to crawl out of, and most importantly, how we can do just that. Come listen in, while we journey from Five of Pentacle to The Hanged Man and from Nine of Wands to The World. This is an episode you’re going to want to go back and listen to again and again.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we finally get around to tackling a topic that we all can relate to… procrastination. Inspired by a question from a listener, the cards guide us through an enlightening conversation about exploring the roots of procrastination. From Three of Wands to Death, Queen of Wands, Page of Wands, Knight of Swords, and Three of Pentacles, we dive deep into emotional awareness, neurodiversity, rebellion and the importance of compassion and companionship.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we began with a phrase that we fell in love with: Letting Ourselves be Seen. And, as is always true when we pick an idea based on a title- we had no idea where this topic would take us. Because let’s be honest- it could have gone a lot of different ways. We began with Eight of Wands and Four of Pentacles, then we visited with Two of Pentacles, Nine of Swords, Five of Wands, all of the Pages (of course) and all of the Threes. If you love a good conversation about the intersection of tarot and mental health - this is the episode for you, because when we explore what it means to let ourselves be seen we really are exploring how we learn to see, accept, and respect ourselves.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we are exploring Relationship Ruptures, where we peek inside the inner workings of how fractures and upset happens in relationships and what we can do to both prevent and mend them. What’s unique about this episode is that we take you farther behind the scenes than we ever have and talk about a recent rupture we had between the two of us. We decide to use the experience as a model - both for how things can go wrong, and how to make them right. We start with Three of Wands and Knight of Pentacles, which really drives the episode. We also spend some time with the Queens, The Star, Tower, and Judgement as we navigate feelings of betrayal, rewriting narratives, and figuring out how to protect ourselves while also being brave enough to have uncomfortable conversations.  So, buckle up, grab a notebook, and get ready for the most honest and vulnerable episode yet!

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we thought it might be fun to do a deep dive into a specific card, and no place better to start than with The Fool. We’ve actually been spending time with card all month long inside The Symposium, with the monthly theme of Playing the Fool (which is also the title of this episode), and have been delighted and surprised by all the twists and turns we’ve gone through as we have journeyed with this card. This week’s podcast ended up being a wild ride, spending time with a huge number of Wands, The Moon, Six of Cups, High Priestess and Six of Swords along the way. So, grab your dog and your knapsack, and come walk this path with us! We won’t let you fall off the cliff - we promise!

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we step into the world of personal identity and navigate the often uncomfortable experience of having to figure out who we are and who we want to be. We have to say, we knew it would be an important conversation, but we were really blown away by the direction it took. We begin with Strength and Reversed Star, then we create a roller coaster of the major arcana, tons of reversals, and some very old school psychological theory. Join us for this lively and insightful chat as we explore how we developed our identities, why we grow attached to them, and how to manage it when they have to change.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we decided to do a few rounds with an adversary we all know in Taming the Inner Critic. We all have a critic’s voice in our head - and some of us have multiple critic’s voices. A quick Google search will offer some quick advice about how to quiet this voice, but we wanted to go a step farther and move beyond “symptom management” and really dive deep into how to better understand and ultimately tame, gain mastery over, and even embrace these voices. We went through a ton of cards in this episode, including all the Sevens, a deep dive into the King of Swords, and gain some new perspectives on both Justice and Three of Wands. We both walk away with some new ideas and ways to look at both the cards and our own inner critics.
