When to Pull Clarifying Tarot Cards & When you Shouldn't (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of The Tarot Diagnosis podcast , I’m exploring tarot clarifiers and a question I don’t think we ask often enough: Why are we pulling clarifying cards if we already understand the card in front of us? This episode came about unexpectedly after I pulled the Seven of Wands during my weekly tarot practice and immediately felt my body reaching for the deck again. But I already knew what the card meant and more importantly, I knew what it meant to me. I didn’t actually need more inform
The Courage to Become: A Monthly Tarot Reading (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of The Tarot Diagnosis , I’m back with another collective monthly tarot reading, and for September, I’m exploring The Courage to Become , which is a four card tarot spread I originally created around identity, existentialism, and the often uncomfortable process of growth and change.

The Nostalgia Effect: Behind the Scenes of 200 Episodes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this special episode of The Tarot Diagnosis , I’m celebrating 200 episodes with someone who has quite literally been behind the scenes since the very beginning: my cousin and the podcast’s audio engineer, Anthony DiGiacomo.

In this episode of The Tarot Diagnosis , I’m exploring self-sabotage through a psychological and therapeutic tarot lens and challenging the idea that self-sabotage means we’re just getting in our own way. We tend to label procrastination, avoidance, staying in unhealthy relationships, overworking, turning down opportunities, or repeating painful patterns as self-sabotage. And when we notice ourselves doing these things, we tend to ask the same question: Why do I keep doing this to myself? But I
Collective Reading: The Tension of Opposites & Dialectical Behavior Theories in Tarot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this month's collective tarot reading on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast , I explore one of my favorite concepts from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) : the idea that two seemingly opposite truths can exist at the same time. Inspired by the emotional chaos of Mercury retrograde (but designed to be relevant no matter what's happening in your life) I use my Tension of Opposites tarot spread (below) to explore how we can stop searching for certainty and instead widen our capacity to hold ambiguity
