Therapeutic Astrology Podcast (TAP) explores ways to remember and reconnect to our innate wholeness. In each episode, I, Mannah, talk with authors and thought leaders about personal growth, symbolic awareness, and how to live better lives. Tap into the well of wisdom when guests from diverse therapeutic schools of thought, metaphysical philosophies, and varied astrology and meditation backgrounds come and share with me about their field.

TAP's slogan is "A Place to Call Whole." Home may not be a loving association, but being whole is all about love. 

ME? I go by the name Mannah. I was born in Denmark during one of the retrograde periods of Pluto in Scorpio! Talking about wholeness (and knowing what it means to be divorced from my true nature), my Pisces Sun has a dedicated orientation toward healing and universal belonging. 

I hope you find something that resonates as you listen through the archive. You can text me at therapeuticastrologer@gmail.com

Therapeutic Astrology Podcast

"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. 
Thank you for tapping in today

#112 - Brynja Magnusson - Yin Mysticism - A Hypothesis on the Unknowable and Dark Half of All Things

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.

#111 – Gabrielle Perez – Luminous Astrology – Soothe Your Nervous System and Energize the Reality You Want

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’ll meet again!

#110 - Colin Karewa Forbes - Surf The Spiral - Awaken to Symbolic Wisdom

"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.

TAP is Back - Meaninglessness as Initiation - Solo by Mannah

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.
 
Mannah,
 
May 17, 2025 just as the Capricorn moon is making itself known in my sixth house of work.

#108 - Last Episode - For Now- And Now is All We Have - Solo by Mannah

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.

#107 - Rebecca Martin Hart - An Exploration of the Asteroid Hygeia as the Healer's Signature - House of Hygeia

"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.

#106 - Yael Eini - Karmic Constellation - Unblock Your Life on the Soul Level

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.

#105 - Mark Jones pt 2 - The Future of Therapy with Pluto in AQ - Astrology as a Psycho-Spiritual Path - Reclaiming Depth, Sacredness, and Complexity

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.
