Omg Tarot! A Podcast About Reading Tarot Cards

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 with the Queen of Swords?

In this episode, that's what we're talking about.

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 symbolism of these figures goes far deeper than that and can be traced to ancient times. If you've studied art history, you probably know exactly where this is going, and if you haven't, tune in for a deeper appreciation of the images in your tarot deck.

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 cards are a positive sign for your career...and which are a bad omen? How can you get even more insight out of a career-related pull? Listen now and learn more.

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 changes things, not always for the better, and once it makes those changes, there's no going back.

In this episode, we break down the Uranus and Pluto placements for the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, Gen Z and Generation Alpha. We also look at some interesting crossovers and how we see similar themes crop up across the decades. In any natal chart, the outer planets have more of a cultural impact on the individual, so in a lot of ways, they're why we say an individual is a "product of their time."

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 about AI’s place within the world of tarot.
