Juliet Sharman-Burke has spent more than four decades at the intersection of Tarot, astrology, and depth psychology.
She is a qualified analytic psychotherapist with a private practice in London, bringing rigorous psychological training to a field too often treated as purely intuitive or mystical.
Juliet is the author of several widely read books on the Tarot, including The Complete Book of Tarot, Understanding the Tarot, Mastering the Tarot, and The Beginners Guide to Tarot. Together with Liz Greene, the renowned astrologer and Jungian analyst, she co-authored The Mythic Tarot and The Mythic Journey: The Meaning of Myth as a Guide to Life, as well as The Astrologer, the Counsellor and the Priest. Her work on the family and birth chart is explored in The Family Inheritance: Parental Images in the Horoscope.
Juliet has designed two widely used Tarot decks. With artist Giovanni Caselli, she created the Sharman-Caselli Deck, accompanying her Beginners Guide to Tarot. With Liz Greene, she co-designed the Mythic Tarot Deck, built around the mythological framework explored in The Mythic Tarot. Both decks are used in the certificate program she now teaches at Jung Platform.

Juliet's teaching style is warm and practical, never abstract for its own sake. She weaves mythology into her teaching effortlessly, drawing on decades of immersion in symbolic and archetypal material until it becomes second nature rather than something explained from the outside. Underneath that ease sits a real therapeutic awareness, the kind that comes from years of clinical psychotherapy practice, which means her work with the Tarot is never just about symbols and stories. It is about what those symbols reveal in a person sitting in front of her, and how that understanding can be lived rather than simply admired.
Courses & talk- Mythic Tarot reader certificate program (extensive program)
The Mythic Tarot Reader Certificate Program is Juliet Sharman-Burke's own framework for reading Tarot through myth and Jungian psychology, taught directly by the woman who created it. Across nine modules, you learn to read the Major Arcana as the Fool's mythic journey, the Minor Arcana through the four elements and Jung's psychological functions, and the Court Cards as living psychological dynamics, using the Mythic Tarot Deck and the Sharman-Caselli Deck she designed herself. This is not a general introduction to Jungian symbolism applied to Tarot. It is the original method, taught with the same warmth, mythological fluency, and therapeutic awareness that have defined Juliet's work for more than forty years.
