Omg Tarot! A Podcast About Reading Tarot Cards

The Fool bravely leaps off a cliff, loyal little dog at his heel, not a care in the world because he's diving into the next phase of his life. He hasn't planned for this next phase; his only plan is to take it as it comes. The Tower...is burning. And getting struck by lightning. It's a hot mess over there, which is why the people are diving out. At first glance, these cards don't a...

Whoah, two podcast drops in a day?? Yes. Because last week got busy, so this episode is the one that was supposed to come out last Thursday. Check out the second half of my conversation with Scarlett Seebach, where I read her natal chart and she reads my Human Design chart. In it, we compare the two systems and see how many similarities we find...and how they differ! We both learned a ton about th...

Imagine this: You're a reiki practitioner, and your client has an injury you just can't heal from this plane. It's not that you can't heal the injury, you can...but only if you can get past the physical limitations of being a flesh-and-blood human. What do you do? You invent a new kind of reiki that makes it possible to get out of your physical body and heal that client's wound...

I'm trying something new :) Every Monday, tune in for Omg Tarot's weekly tarot forecast. No, this is NOT replacing our regularly scheduled chats and deep dives on the regular pod. It's just something extra. And you get to actually see the cards I pull.

A lot of people who sit for readings with me tell me the same thing: "I've never done this before." And honestly? Great. I kind of like being somebody's first experience with tarot because I know I'm setting the bar high. I'm making sure their first experience is a great one, even if the message is something that involves the 5 of Pentacles or 3 of Swords (which sometimes...

Numbers are integral to tarot. Literally every card has a number, and each number has a meaning. But it goes deeper than this. In tarot, the numbers on the cards you pull give you their context. A 4 may generally mean stability, but a 4 that follows a 9 tells a very different story than a 4 that follows a 2 or an ace. That's what tarot reader, charm caster and numerologist Dina Berrin and I ar...

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Niels Vantzuriel, creator of The Arrival Method and co-founder of Adventures in Quiet Places. Through The Arrival Method, Niels and his partner help high-achieving women who are ready to change their lives do just that: change their lives by connecting with Ireland's ancient spiritual landscape. In our interview, we chat The Arrival method, the fae, w...

What's the most important thing for a tarot reader? Intuition. Are some people born gifted with intuition and others, not so much? NO. We are all intuitive. We are all capable of developing intuitive skills. And the tough truth is, we live in a world that actively works against this development, with constant stimulation and lives so tightly scheduled that there's barely a moment to just s...

In this episode, we take a little detour from tarot to explore another famous deck: the 52-card deck you play poker, rummy, war and go fish with. Based on your birthday, you have a birth card, a personality card, and a whole constellation of other cards that, if you learn how to work with their energy, can help you live your best life. I sat down with Alexander and Vikki of The Source cards to dis...

It happens. Sometimes, when you're reading tarot for somebody, the message doesn't resonate. And other times, the message may very well resonate, but it's not what the querent wanted to hear...so they act like it doesn't resonate. Or they argue with you. Or they insert their own interpretation. What should you do in these scenarios? Although they look similar on the surface, they're really three d...

I talk about the Rider Waite Smith deck a lot on this podcast, and that's for one simple reason: it's referenced just about everywhere and it's the template for a lot of modern decks. So my thought is, using it as a frame of reference means you can either pull out your copy and follow along or visualize your way through the podcast if you're listening while you drive or do somethin...

You might've noticed there are a few angels in the Rider Waite Smith deck. There's the one looming above The Lovers, the one passing water between cups on Temperance, and the one blowing the horn on Judgment to raise up the dead. But there are a few more angelic references too, like the angel baby face on the Queen of Swords' throne. Why is it there? What does an angel baby have to do...

In the Rider Waite Smith deck and a significant number of decks that have followed, there are figures in the corners of The Wheel of Fortune and The World. They're a bull, an eagle, a lion, and an angel. You might have heard that these figures represent the four fixed signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius. That explanation isn't wrong, but it only tells part of the story. The truth is,...

The top three things people ask me about are: 1. No question. Just see what the cards have to say. 2. Love. When will I meet someone? How can I find a partner? 3. Career. Will I get a promotion? What field should I be in? How can I make more money? So today, we're talking about topic #3, tarot for career and financial guidance. What are the best ways to phrase these kinds of questions? Which c...

Following up our recent episode about Neptune's generational influences, today we're taking a look at how Uranus and Pluto shape generations of people. There are some similarities between them; Uranus brings about sudden, dramatic changes and Pluto brings rebirth through intensity. Think of Pluto as the solar system's pressure cooker. By that logic, Uranus is its...toaster oven? Uranus...

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Voinier, founder of Aries Moon Crystals, Evidential Medium and Paranormal Investigator to discuss Hot Takes in Tarot. We explore ethics, boundaries, and discernment in modern tarot and intuitive work. We talk about why she doesn’t offer emergency readings and what that protects for both reader and client. We discuss the evolution of intuition and thoughts ab...

You've got 10 planets in your natal chart, and some of them shape you closely, while others shape you from afar. What do I mean by that? I mean that certain planets, namely Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, shape your generation. These planets spend years in each sign, which means all the people born during a given generational transit have a shared cultural perspective. A good phrase to keep in min...

You know the basics of reading a natal chart. You've got planets, the planets are in signs, and the signs rule houses. Great. And you probably know the relationships between the planets are important...but if you aren't super confident about interpreting these in your chart, this episode is for you. Degrees and aspects are components of astrology that often seem more complicated than they...

In our follow-up to the last episode, we're exploring tarot and spirituality. On the surface, the answer might seem like a "well, duh, of course tarot is spiritual." But there are a lot of non-spiritual ways to work with the deck...and are the cards themselves, without human interaction, spiritual? What does spiritual even mean? Here's my take on these questions, plus some fun ta...

When you pull tarot cards, are you doing something creative? I think so. In this episode, we get into how tarot and really, all forms of divination, are inherently creative acts. I also share a couple of cool ways you can make tarot part of your regular creative practice. Welcome to Season 3! Music credit: Fiftysounds.com

As the last episode for season two, I'm sharing my villain origin story 😈 How did I get into reading tarot cards? What did I initially think of my sun sign? How did my first attempt at a tarot business flop miserably? Learn all that and more, plus some cool stats about you, the listeners, in this year's State of the Pod. I hope every one of you has a fantastic holiday season and a great s...

How is the Judgment card different from the Justice card? What about Temperance versus The Star? In your tarot deck, there are a lot of cards that have similar, yet distinct, themes. Sometimes, it can be easy to get these cards confused...or to know the difference, but have a hard time articulating it. This episode is all about those cards that have similar narratives, but tell unique stories. Mus...

Every tarot card reader is unique. We've all got our own special combo of deck preference, relationship with the cards, philosophy, and delivery style. How do these come together in your unique reader mosaic? Maybe you haven't thought about this question much. But it's an important question to answer because the better you know yourself, the better you are as a reader. That's what...
