Why is Everything F*cked? - A Collective Tarot Reading

from The Tarot Diagnosis · host Shannon Knight

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I’m kicking off March with a new series for the pod: a monthly collective tarot reading. A lot of you asked for more frequent check-ins after my 2026 year-ahead reading, and honestly… I don’t know why I didn’t think of doing this sooner. So, thank you for the suggestion!If you’ve been around my work for a while, you know I don’t read predictively. My relationship to tarot is rooted in its therapeutic components and how archetypes help us access unconscious material, think outside the box, and get curious about what’s happening inside us and around us. So, these monthly readings are meant to offer an invitation for us to think deeper, feel inspired, and spark conversation.For this first collective reading, I’m using one of my favorite spreads: “Why Is Everything F*cked?” Because…well, everything is f*cked.The spread:A card to represent the current chaosWhat have we not considered about this chaos?What role do I play in the resolution of the chaos?What might await on the other side of the chaos?In this episode, I explore:How the Ace of Pentacles can represent systemic instability and liminalityWhy Death is the card we tend to resist when change is necessaryWhat legacy actually means in times of cultural and institutional upheaval with the Ten of PentaclesHow the Page of Swords reflects collective reframing, discernment, and new languageIf you want to see the cards I pulled and the spread laid out visually, make sure you’re on my email list (those subscribers get the images and spread first), or subscribe on Substack.Want more of this type of tarot experience?📚 Order my book Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow for more therapeutic tarot practices!🌙 Stay Connected With Me💌 Follow me on Instagram:⁠ @thetarotdiagnosis⁠🧠 Sign up for my newsletter at⁠ thetarotdiagnosis.com⁠👥 Join ⁠The Symposium⁠ — my tarot & psychology membership community If you love The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, please consider leaving a review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a super easy and FREE way to support my work.
