Therapeutic Astrology Podcast by Mannah (TAP) is place to learn og and feel into healing methods, psychological insights and the mystery pointed to by forgotten languages of the soul. My name is Mannah, and I aim to inspire you to a rich life on all levels of experience. As you listen, let the existential questions breathe into your inner realms where Wholeness is always present. 

We are in good company with thought leaders, authors, and healers of our time - or sometimes of past times as I may read the authors alive in solo episodes. In common my variety of guests have a wish to stop fragmentation and care for a greater view of this embodied spiritual life. My own primary path is through Evolutionary Astrology, and in each episode I spend a few moments to tap into my guests birth chart.

Let's TAP in together - no matter where you are, you have a place to call Whole.

Therapeutic Astrology Podcast

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
 
-The Aquarian versus Piscean view of community and visions of the future (talking about the ages that last about 2160 years)
 
-The beautiful Gemini Saturn link that reflects how John Michael Greer became an authority on traditions that raised his curiosity and that he was and still is able to write about in understandable language.
 
Thank you for being with us and wishing you a wonderful end of the year, we have been through a lot together in 2025 havent we?!? Wishing you a magic transition into the new year coming up – or a lot of good energy to when ever you are, as you read this! I will be back in the new year with authors who influence and inspire us, all coming with different pieces of the puzzle!
 
Remember... You have a place to call WHOLE.

#128 - John Michael Greer – Revisioning the Tree of Life - John Gilbert's Cabala

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.

#127 - Jim Sher - Astrology as a Spiritual and Transformational Path - Fulfill the Law of Your Being

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".)

#126 - Solo:The Astrology of Transformation by Dane Rudhyar - Integrating the Yin Approach to Life (p.1)

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!!

#125 - Kingsley Dennis - Heal the Wounded Mind & Break the Spell: Dictate Less, Dialogue More

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

#124 - Georgi Y. Johnson - Nondual Therapy - The Healing Qualities of True Nature

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.

#123 - Oholomo - AWAKENING THE BELOW- Navigating through Darkness and Spiritual Emergency

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...

#122 - Paul Marcus - Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes - A Time to Heal

"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!")
 
I hope you were inspired!!

#121 - Phil Mollon - The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers

"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.
 
We talk about:
 -How viewing the body as an energetic system expands our approach to healing
 
-The powerful role of water, that she calls the backdrop of everything
 
-Electrolytes that help hydrate the body
 
-Not to get caught up in the latest health trend, but to remember the internal conductor of our symphony- our consciousness
 
-How mitochondria are the body's communication hubs, responding to our thoughts, emotions, and environment, and sending out it's own signals
 
-The science of light within and around us—how our cells communicate through light and how ancient cultures honored this relationship
 
-The emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology, linking mind, body, and immunity
 
AND MUCH MORE
 
again- you will be so smart after this one.

#120 - Dr. Catherine Clinton - Longevity through Quantum Biology - A Language of FREQUENCY

MUST-HEAR episode where I pull out as much knowledge and insight as possible from historian, author, and tarot-deck creator Travis McHenry.

Here are some of the themes we explore:
 
– The difference between occult tarot and other forms
 
– The secrecy around tarot and how it historically ensured that only the initiated received certain information - so what makes an initiate today?
 
– How the real and spiritual origins of tarot cards have been obscured
 
– The Tree of Life
 
– How to ask a good question for the tarot cards
 
– Female empowerment in the cards
 
 – The tarot is not from Egypt—however, there are Egyptian elements
 
 – The signature of Saturn in Virgo
 
– What the Sola Busca Tarot is and why it remains so mysterious
 
– A few stress-questions at the end about demons
