Tarot Therapy: Aces & The Stages of Change

The Tarot Diagnosis

This week on ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast⁠, I am introducing a brand-new series—Tarot Therapy! In this series, I’m returning to the foundation of my work, where I explore tarot through the lens of psycho-therapeutic models and theory. Each episode in this series will dive into a different psychological theory and/ or therapeutic model, blending them with tarot to deepen self-awareness and of course, personal growth.

In this kickoff episode, I explore The Aces in tarot through the Transtheoretical Model of Change, also known as the Stages of Change. If you’re part of The Tarot Diagnosis community, The Symposium, you might recognize this concept from a recent workshop. This episode serves as a deep dive into how each Ace corresponds to a different stage of change.

Precontemplation → Ace of Cups: When we’re unaware that change is needed. What are we oblivious to that needs to change?

Contemplation → Ace of Swords: The moment clarity strikes, but doubt lingers. What’s the story we tell ourselves about change?

Preparation → Ace of Pentacles: Laying the foundation and gathering resources. What support do we need?

Action → Ace of Wands: Taking bold steps toward transformation. What’s one small action we can take right now?

Maintenance → The Fool: Sustaining progress with curiosity and resilience. How do we keep moving forward?

Throughout the episode, I pull cards to explore each stage more deeply, offering prompts and reflections for your own tarot practice. Plus, I’ve modified the Celtic Cross spread to align with the Stages of Change—head over to Instagram (@TheTarotDiagnosis) to check it out!

If you’re ready to explore transformation through tarot and psychology, this episode is for you. Listen now and let’s dive into Tarot Therapy!
