Omg Tarot! A Podcast About Reading Tarot Cards

Rocio del Alba, aka Morning Dew Tarot, is a tarot reader and numerologist who used her unique skill set to create a brand-new form of divination. This method combines Pythagorean Numerology, intuition, and influences from augury, the practice of reading birds' patterns, to explore the messages the querent needs to receive from Spirit.

That's what this episode is all about! Listen now to meet Rocio and learn more about her spiritual journey.

One of the most common questions people ask me is "How did you get into reading tarot?"

So I tell them. But my story is uniquely mine...and your tarot story is uniquely yours. In this episode, seven tarot readers shared their stories of how they got into reading. Some are relatively new readers, others have been doing it for decades. Despite these differences, you'll notice a few themes come up again and again: curiosity, community, and putting your skepticism to the test. Listen now to hear how we all came to working with the tarot.

Yes, it's a long title, but that's because there's a ton of amazing insights in this episode! I sat down with Lily Martin, a psychic medium, tarot card reader, and salt reader to discuss our wide range of experiences with tarot, the clairs (clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairaudience, etc), and working with people who come to us seeking insight and answers.

Get an insider's look at life as the intuitive connecting the living and the dead. You might find yourself nodding along, recognizing the experiences Lily discusses. And yes, you read that right earlier...Lily does salt readings. Listen and learn more about this unique form of divination (and how you can find the forms that resonate best with you).

In your tarot deck, the backgrounds matter. Where are the figures? How are they engaging with their environments?

...Are they on stage, performing a play?

There's some compelling evidence to support that last point, at least for certain cards. But with every card in the deck, you're looking at a full picture with a horizon line, details, a foreground and a background, and the entire story these details come together to tell. How closely are you reading these parts of the deck?

Pathworking is a fantastic tool for visualizing our world and the symbols you encounter within it. As you might imagine, it's also a powerful way to explore your tarot deck.

In this episode, I sit down with Niko Contouris, tarot reader, pathworker, author and tour guide, to chat about his experiences with exploring the tarot this way. We also get into the Thoth tarot a bit, since I've just started working with this deck and it's Niko's daily driver. If you're considering picking up the Thoth tarot, be prepared to think differently about the cards! I know it's changed how I read, and I'm not the only reader who's experienced this.

In my experience, tarot is best when it's enjoyed with friends. Today's guest, tarot reader and teacher Stefanie Wittmaak, has had the same experience...and as a fellow Scorpio Rising, an eerily similar tarot journey 😲

Listen now to learn more about our experiences starting tarot clubs, teaching tarot courses, and more about the things we've encountered in this wide, magickal world.

Your forecast for this week, grouped by modality. Listen for your Sun, Moon, and Rising.

When you've been reading tarot as long as I have, you tend to notice things. Patterns emerge. You understand people differently. Here are a few of the observations I've made over the years.

Hey all, I know it's been a few weeks since one of these made it over to Spotify...between tech stuff and personal stuff, it's been a rough couple weeks at House Omg.

But in case you're looking for your tarot forecast and you don't see it posted to Spotify, it's always on Instagram. Join me live or watch it as a reel after the fact; it's always up on Monday.

And a new regular episode will be up this Thurs :)

What are your big three...in cheeses?

I'm a Baby Swiss Sun, an Espresso Cheese Moon, and a Pecorino Romano Rising.

Yep. In her book, Cheese Astrology: A Weekly Guide, author Tabitha Dial walks you through each decan of the zodiac in the most delicious way possible. And in this episode, we're cutting up the cosmic charcuterie and exploring how this book came to be.

A day late, sorry about that! I recorded July 13, and the forecast is good all week.

Sometimes, Saturn smacks ya. Especially if you're not suspecting it. But think of Saturn's smacks like birthday whacks. They're the lessons life throws your way to stretch you, test you, and build you into a more nuanced version of yourself.

That's what this episode is all about. Listen for an explanation of Saturn's energy, what it means for a planet to be in domicile vs. detriment vs. exaltation vs. fall, how Saturn tends to express itself in various signs, and stories from listeners that illustrate their experiences with their Saturn Returns.

This episode features music from Fiftysounds.com and Pixabay.

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 appear to have much in common. But there are two key things to keep in mind:

• Both are a sign that you're moving into uncharted territory
• Both are followed by creative cards that put the power back into your hands: The Magician and The Star, respectively

There's another correlation to talk about here: the current astrology. The Fool is ruled by Uranus and The Tower is ruled by Mars. Those planets are conjunct in the sky right now (July 2, 2026) and like all other conjunctions, it's ushering in some powerful energy. Listen to get the inside scoop from fantastic astrologer Benedictta Apwah and me, and see how this conjunction fits into the bigger astrological chapter of Summer 2026.

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 the other's respective systems, and most importantly, we learned how different systems can really just be different paths toward the same destination.

Happy Solstice, Happy Cancer Season, Happy Summer to everybody in the Northern Hemisphere and Happy Winter to everybody in the Southern Hemisphere!

Here's this week's tarot forecast. If you notice some little interactions, that's because I recorded it while on Instagram Live ;)

Interested in participating? Tune into the Instagram Live next Monday and say hi! Can't make it but want to participate another way? DM me your Big 3 and/or a question you want me to pull on next week's forecast episode. Just send it right to @its_omg_tarot on Instagram.

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, of course 😉

That's how Scarlett Seebach invented Astral Reiki. In today's episode, she tells the story of how she recognized the need for a new type of reiki (there's more to it than I shared here) and created a unique new method for this ancient practice. We also chat about Human Design, another relatively new (and beautifully intricate) system for understanding how we operate and what we need most.

This is part 1 of Omg Tarot's conversation with Scarlett Seebach of Your Abundant Design. Tune in next week for part 2, where Scarlett reads my Human Design writeup and I read her natal chart!

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, it's the clarity they need!)

Being somebody's first reader is a big job, so I put together this list of my best tips for making sure it's a great experience for your querent and for you. Because really, a tarot reading is a three-way conversation:

• Your querent
• The cards
• You

So it should be a good time for everybody involved.

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 are getting into here (plus some astrology 😁)
