I've always been fascinated with tarot readings,
spirit and beyond. And today on YQG In Bloom, I
have my friend Sarah, who's more famously known
as Sarah's Oracle on Instagram and TikTok. How
you doing today? I'm great. Thank you so much
for having me. I love anything to do with the
tarot readings, which is probably why I've had
them. And she has made this into a full -time
job. This is wonderful. When did you know that
you had a connection with Spirit? I would say
it started around the age of four or five. My
dad passed away when I was very young. So I have
a few memories of like still seeing him or playing
with him and being confused about that. whether
or not he was gone. I still believed he was here
and as I got older I obviously came to the realization
that he was not and I was seeing him and he was
still here so my grandparents were really freaked
out by that. My family was really freaked out
by that but it started very young. I would say
that I'm a person who was born with it but it's
something that anybody can develop over their
lifetime. So you think everybody... born with
that little bit of knowledge or closeness with
the spirit as whether they continue to keep it?
Yeah honestly it It's really common in children.
You'll notice them laughing or saying, Grandma,
Grandpa. And you're going, Grandma, Grandpa haven't
been here for a very long time. Or they point
to pictures and they say, I know that person.
But as we get older, obviously we're taught and
we're told that that's not normal. So I like
to say everybody's born with the antenna. For
some people, it continues to grow and you get
a signal. For some people, it stays small. But
anybody can develop that. I always wanted it
and it just never came back for me. I tried but
I could fake it but I don't want to be one of
those. Of course not and I think that if you
did develop that or sat in meditation or like
had a few tools and practices it could be developed.
Oh, okay, so it is something that you can develop
if you tried hard enough? Yeah, and again, it's
just sitting in meditation, asking, being open,
being receptive, because the second that we don't
believe, that kind of closes the door to any
type of communication. They could be talking
to you all day and you wouldn't hear anything
they're saying. Can you give us a rundown on
how you were able to make this a full -time job,
especially in Windsor? Yeah, so a lot of my clients
are actually worldwide. I don't, I would say
5 % of what I do is in the local community, 95
% of it is online. So I started a TikTok account
and social media is honestly how I was able to
make this my 9 to 5 or my full -time job and
how I'm able to sustain myself. So I started
posting TikTok videos, I went live every single
night to gain a community and I continue to do
that to this day. It's been just over a year.
I just passed my year anniversary and I now have
a really great following, an amazing community
and they help me live in my soul's purpose. So
you go every night live? Yeah, I try. Sometimes
it's maybe five nights a week if I'm busy but
I try to be very consistent because that's the
way to grow on social media is people like that
consistency. They like to know you. That is so
interesting. I know I've seen you when I'm scrolling,
but last week was the first time that I actually
caught you while you were live. And I was like,
yay, I'm so excited. And whenever I see somebody
that I know in my community, I get even more
excited. I'm like, guys, I actually know that
person. I'm like, oh, my God, my friend. That's
so funny. And then I saw the roses and the gifts.
So people are giving you donations as well. Yeah,
so it's really nice. It's so nice. then I always
say, that's not why I do it. They're always free
readings for my community. Some TikTok tarot
readers and other TikTok creators actually make
money and that's how they make their money. I
always say, hey, you don't have to, but know
that I appreciate it if you're doing that. And
just so you know, she does state it because there's
a ton of writing around her head while she's
doing these readings and it states that... nothing
is charged unless you actually do a private reading.
Exactly. Yeah. Which I like that. That's nice.
I have to let people know though, because there
are a lot of scammers who pretend to be me and
they just make their picture my picture. And
if you're not the most media literate or you
don't or you just aren't familiar with TikTok
and how these things work, they will reach out
pretending to be me. So I also have to let people
know I do not have any other accounts. I will
never DM you. Don't get scammed. That's true.
Yeah, that is the other thing that I did notice
on there. Like you can't have nothing nice anymore.
No. They're always there trying to make a dollar.
You can be psychic too. You don't have to pretend
to be me. You can do that on your own. Then that's
work. I know. That's not fun. No. They can pretend
everybody's happy, everybody's going to win a
million dollars, and they end up with money in
their pocket. It's sad. If you don't mind me
asking, because I did not check, how many followers
do you have currently on TikTok? Yeah, I think
I'm just about to hit 72 ,000. 72 ,000? Yeah.
That's pretty cool. Yeah, it's very cool. So
you said that you do Zoom readings with people.
All over the world. Where is the farthest place?
I think the farthest, just geographically, would
be New Zealand or Australia. But I have read
for people like in Portugal, in Italy, in the
UK. It's really anywhere you can think of. I've
probably done a reading for them. And do they
stay as continuing clients? Yeah. You would be
surprised by how many people... reappear maybe
every six months just to kind of see what the
energy is, get the download of what's coming.
I have an amazing client base and people that
I consider friends now who are frequent visitors.
Do you have a lot of them coming back going,
oh my god you're spot on. You know what yeah
and as a psychic or as a tarot reader we're not
going to get everything right 100 % of the time.
It's not possible to do that but I'm oftentimes
surprised even by how many times people come
back and say it happened the exact way you said.
And sometimes it's not a positive thing. So I
don't love to hear that all the time, but I do
hear it quite often. Now you said that you're
full time for the last year. How long have you
been doing readings or? in touch with spirit?
So yeah it started at 16 when I was gifted my
first ever tarot deck from my best friend and
we would have these weekend long sleepovers where
we would just pull the cards okay what's gonna
happen Monday five of wands we're not getting
in a fight that day those types of things right
so since about 16 I started showing this to my
friends and talking about it more outwardly with
family so I'm 28 now not good at math off the
top of my head but it's been quite some time
12 years So you're also starting to do private
readings and parties as well? Yes, it's amazing.
If anybody reaches out and they say, hey, I have
a birthday party. I have a girls' night coming
up. Would you like to come out? Just in the Windsor
-Essex area, I was amazed to even have that.
But in April, I have a really amazing opportunity.
I am flying out to LA for a event to do what
I do. And I'm just flabbergasted that little
old me is being sent out that way. And DM her
that I'll come with her. Just for the hell of
it. Just for the ride. In Windsor we have Wolfram
Rubble and you've done a lot of readings there.
when they have them. You just did one on the
weekend to celebrate. Was it your one -year anniversary
of doing pop -ups there? Yeah, my first ever.
So I believe it was, I think it was actually
March 8th. It might have been the exact same
day. It was my one -year anniversary, my first
ever in -person tarot readings with strangers
or people that I didn't know just in the community.
So it was a really amazing way to celebrate and
to give back. We were donating to Drew Lard Place.
So we had people come in. The readings were free
as long as you brought canned goods or a donation
and we had a fantastic time. turnout. So there
was a ton of them? Three boxes full and $200
cash to be donated. Oh, that's wonderful. But
I'm sure that's really helpful. Oh, it's going
to be so amazing. I'm dropping that off this
week and I can't wait to see. There's always
going to be naysayers. They're always going to
say, well, this is fake. This is funny. How are
you able to do readings on Zoom when you're not
in person? Like how do you get that person's
energy? Yeah, so I meditate prior to me sitting
down. Let's say I have four clients today. I'll
set up a couple of hours before. I will tune
into their energy. I ask that everybody come
with an open heart and mind and that they allow
me into their auric field. So I'll meditate.
I'll call forth my guides and their guides. I'll
establish a connection and just see what messages
are coming through, pull a few cards before we
sit down. And it's really no different than meeting
in person. You'd be surprised how many people
think if they're on the other side of the world,
we can't connect. But as long as I'm in your
presence, our guides are present. and they connect
us no matter where we are. Now, I've seen a ton
of different tarot cards. Are they all basically
the same thing? Yeah, so in the traditional rate
-or -weight deck, all 78 cards are going to have
the same meaning no matter what deck you go to.
They're all going to have different illustrations
and artwork, but it's how they're laid out, the
questions that are asked, what cards appear with
what cards that's going to change or influence
the message with the specific meanings. Now,
on Saturday, because I did drop off some food,
Was that one deck that you had displayed out
that was really, really pretty and I think that
was a different deck? Was that an aura deck or
something like that? An oracle deck, yes. Oracle
deck. Exactly, yeah. And what is different from
that? Or is it just the pictures? Yeah, so it
will be the pictures and the messages. An oracle
deck is something that a spiritual creator sits
down and meditates on and asks what messages
would like to come forth and they will be wildly
different than a tarot card. Let's say, for example,
those cards will say rest or some of them are
animal decks to connect with your animal guides
so it's still messages from spirit just not in
a traditionally formatted tarot layout. Now I
was playing with the deck when I was there and
I pulled up a card and I'm like what does this
mean and I think it was the nine of nine of cups
and she had said that something had fallen through
and it was meant to be and she didn't realize
that that actually something had fallen through
two days before and That was pretty cool to find
out that it was meant to be. Yeah I think now
looking back it was the five of cups and the
nine of cups to say the five of cups is something
we feel we have lost but something still exists
for us and the nine of cups is wish fulfillment
through that loss so to say the setback was actually
a blessing. Now we did bring some cards today
because This is always fun to have a reading.
Now I'm wondering is there maybe a question you
might have or something you'd like us to look
into? Something you're comfortable sharing? Well
I have started a new journey and some new interests
and I'm just wondering if they are going to take
me in a different direction than I'm already
in. That's a good question. Let's pull a couple
cards here and let's just see what makes itself
known. So we also, if a card flips over, you
leave that out, it's meant to be out? Yes, some
practitioners will just shuffle, take a couple
of piles, cut the deck and take what's on top.
Everybody, every tarot reader has a different
style of reading. Now, I did have the Four of
Pentacles coming out first, and this card is
representative of holding on to something too
long, or maybe the idea that we've been staying
stuck in a place, a chapter of our life is meant
to close. So if you feel like you're clinging
on to anything, whether that's a belief system
about how we can make money or what our life
is supposed to be like at this time, your guides
kind of just ask that you open your arms and
you open the door to whatever blessings. The
Ace of Pentacles is a new opportunity that will
offer some sort of financial reward to you. So,
hey! or this is feeling a line, and then the
page of cups, it feels a little more creative,
it feels a little more dreamy, or your guides
are asking you again to step into maybe a less
structured way of moving through your daily life
to invite in those new opportunities and blessings,
but it does feel like we're still at the beginning
stages. The pages are very young within the tarot,
so we're somewhat at square one, but this has
the opportunity to develop into a very stable,
very stable pathway. if you let go and open up
to receive. That does mean something and is that
the page of cups? The page of cups. Now Sarah
is not aware that unless she's watched some of
my podcasts that I do have OCD. I've had it for
years. Some of my tics I don't have to do as
much anymore and it is slowly starting to go
away which is my... It's always been my blockage
of getting things done because this and this
would have to be done in order for me to move
forward. It used to be vacuuming for me. I'd
vacuum a few times a day and now I'm down to
twice a week. Hey. Which is good. And that's
making space in your life for new opportunities
and blessings. So this seems like a really, really
beautiful pathway for you. That's really cool.
And honestly, I'm not just saying that because
I ran into you for five minutes on Saturday because
I was on my way to do another podcast. And I
mean, we don't she's busy. I'm busy. We don't
get to talk a lot. It's not somebody just walk
around going, Hey, I have that. So do you see
yourself? traveling more with this or doing more
events in the Windsor -Essex County area or outside?
Yeah I would love to. I feel like this summer
I'm really looking forward to maybe popping up
at some sort of market or some sort of in -person
event where I can have a table and even if I'm
not offering readings then just communicating
with people about their guides and maybe meditation
tips so I'm looking forward to the summer and
getting out into the community a bit more. Oh
that would be fun. Yeah, I think especially having
them maybe learn how to meditate or to find their
inner peace so that they could hear or listen
for spirit. Exactly. And if anybody else wants
to fly me out to LA or Hawaii, wherever, call
me. DM me. I'm in. Unless it's like 90 or 100
degrees out here, then we'll go somewhere a little
cooler like England. Hey, take me to Scotland.
I'm ready to go. Call me. I'm free. And I want
to be her manager. We're getting there. I'm going
to need some help soon. Hey, I'm there. Perfect.
Now, one thing I do want to ask you is, what
is spirit? Because I've heard, you know, the
Long Island media and I've heard a lot of people
say spirit. What is spirit? So spirit I like
to use as a term just to describe your team,
whether that is your guides, your loved ones
on the other side that have passed, your higher
self, whomever. Some people like to work with
deities, like Aphrodite is a goddess of love.
She's somebody who can be channeled. You can
pull her energy. And some people like to work
with Mother Mary. So if you practice the Christian
faith, it's just anybody who exists outside of
our realm of perception and energy connected
to you on your spirit team. Now there are people
that are really religious that are not happy
with this and then you have people that are on
the opposite end of the spectrum that are atheists
that don't believe in the spirit world. You explained
it to me when we met about energy and this is
how I find that I think they could all kind of
Figure it out. So what is energy? So yeah, I
like to actually refer to this as source I believe
personally as an ominous that any and all God
or deity or religion Exists in one conscious
energy that we are all created from kind of like
that Big Bang the universe Created all of us
so that it could experience itself, but the idea
that I'm actually just tapping into a form of
energy that probably hasn't been scientifically
recognized yet. It's funny that you mentioned
Teresa Caputo though because they actually monitored
her brain during a session and they found that
her processing speed, which typically does not
raise beyond a certain point once you reach maturity
as an adult, her processing speed doubled and
went back down when she finished a channeling
session. So I do think that there is some scientific
explanation for us just being able to tap into
pockets of energy. Because energy is never destroyed.
It can only be transformed. That's why I say
your loved ones are never gone. They're just
different. And there are certain people who are
more adept at communicating and finding that
energy and pulling it into you. So I do think
there's science to this. It just hasn't been
recognized yet. I really like how you put that
because this way anybody can... look at these
cards and read them and understand them. And
it's not saying there is a God, there isn't a
God. It's just saying that everybody has energy.
Yeah, of course. And really, tarot at the heart
is an introspective tool. It's not always used
to predict the future or connect with somebody's
guides. Sometimes it can just help you unlock
a subconscious... piece of a puzzle that you
weren't where you needed to remove a blockage
or move forward in your life or help you realize
there was something that you were still holding
on to that you didn't realize needed to energetically
be let go of for a new door to open. So a lot
of times it's not always psychic. It really can
just be used as a form of introspective awareness
and opening. Now are tarot readers also psychic?
That's a good question. So not all tarot readers
have psychic gifts, but to be an intuitive tarot
reader, which I kind of call myself, you're able
to tap into somebody's energy field and read
deeper than just what the cards are presenting.
But anybody can learn to read tarot. You don't
have to be a psychic. And when I say psychic,
I mean, you can't predict the future. So... Or
can you? Well, funny you'd say that. So as a
clairvoyant, I'm somebody who often dreams of
future events and can tap into possible future
timelines. But the beauty of free will, the gift
that we're all given here in this incarnation,
is that you get to decide whether or not what
I see happens. I always like to say, if you pack
up and move to Australia on a whim tomorrow,
obviously the path that I've foreseen for you
changes because you... you decided to make a
quick unexpected change. So I can sometimes predict
future events, but nothing is ever 100 % set
in stone. Do they come to you in dreams, did
you say? Yeah, it comes to me very often in dreams
and that's actually outside of connecting with
spirit. How I knew I had some sort of gift. I
would have dreams about people before they passed
away. I would have dreams about really big world
events before they would happen. Sometimes small
things like conversations with friends or random
happenings around me. People call that sometimes
deja vu, but I sometimes do and still do have
dreams of the future. Does that happen often?
It's been happening a lot more recently. It's
not always something that's fun. I will say that
oftentimes it's big world events or natural disasters.
I started dreaming about plane crashes, witnessing
them in December before all of those plane crashes
were on the news. Yeah, they're insane. It's
not always fun to be in the dream and it's not
always fun to wake up in that feeling and not
be able to share that with others but I try as
best as I can. If they're being given to me it's
clearly for a reason. It's got to be a really
big burden to have these bad visions, bad dreams,
bad whatever you want to call them. Of course,
but if I can help one person with a message or
if I can share one piece of information that
has the ability to change an outcome or shift
an outcome, that must be why I'm being given
the dream. So while it's difficult to deal with,
I'm also open to receiving whatever spirit thinks
I need to give to other people. So if you have
somebody that comes to you for reading and you
have seen something, maybe the person that's
with them, will you tell them? Like, you know,
I kind of hadn't... Had a dream about you last
night. I don't mean to sound corny but I don't
know how else to put it. It's literally so funny
that you would mention that because at the tarot
pop -up I didn't tell the person but I had a
dream about a complete stranger and when they
walked up to me I went oh in my mind I'm going
I just dreamt about you last night funny to see
you here I obviously didn't bring that up yeah
but there are many times where I'll dream about
a client before I meet them a conversation before
I meet them and I'll always ask somebody before
because what people are signing up for is just
tarot right now technically I'll always say hey
I feel a loved one here are you okay with that
if not that's totally cool with me or if a friend
has come and they're not getting the reading
but I feel something for them I'll say are you
cool with me delivering a message I'm never gonna
cross the boundary though now when we did this
tarot reading this mini one and it was just the
cards that fell out How is a normal tarot reading?
I know you do it that way, but there are other
ways as well. Yeah, so in a traditional tarot
reading, or what a traditional tarot reader might
do is shuffle the deck, ask a question with the
intention behind it. They might then split the
deck into three, which sometimes I honestly still
like to do. And then they'll perform whatever
tarot spread they like. I usually choose a five
card reading where we lay five cards out. We
have our situation, an obstacle you might come
to face, action advised, what happens if you
follow said action, and maybe what happens if
you take a different course. So there are so
many different types of spreads you can do and
each card will have an individual meaning to
that spread. Depending on a person's vibe when
they sit down, does that determine what type
of spread that you will? perform. Yeah, and their
question can affect that as well. If somebody
wants a more general reading, this is what I
like to choose. If somebody wants more of a,
can you give me a couple months ahead? Maybe
I'll pull a card for each month just to see what's
coming up. It really depends on what the person
in front of me is looking to gain from our session.
But don't ask if I'm gonna die because you're
not gonna tell. I can't tell you. They won't
show me. No, and I mean, the world doesn't work
that way. Exactly. No matter how much energy
there is or how many spirits we have or advisors
we have, there's just a few things you can't.
They have to stay secret. Yeah, there are a couple
rules. No talking about when or how somebody
will pass. No giving them the lottery numbers,
because trust me, if they were capable of doing
that, I would go play the lottery. Exactly. All
of the tarot readers, the mediums, the psychics,
you guys would all be rich on an island. Exactly.
I wouldn't be. Working at all. I would just be
with a margarita in my hand, lotteries in my
bank account. There you go. So no death. no lottery
numbers. Is there anything else that you guys
just don't talk about or is it pretty free rein
after that? Usually it's pretty free rein after
that. I also don't like to talk about health
because again I'm not a doctor and I don't like
to talk about legal matters because I'm not a
lawyer and I will always say to somebody I can
take a look into it if you'd like but please
take the advice of a lawyer or a doctor before
you take the advice of a psychic. because I still
believe in Western medicine and those who have
doctorates and have gone to school to have all
of that knowledge. Will something like that like
somebody's health come up if they have a different
question will you say maybe you should go see
a doctor? There have been a couple of times where
I've What happens for me is I begin to feel in
my body if there is an issue. So sometimes spirit
will give me a pain in my kidneys. And if it's
not gone away halfway through the session, I'll
say very politely to the client, can I just ask
you very quickly, are you experiencing any kidney
pain, filtration issues? Maybe somebody has diabetes
in the family. It's just coming up right now
from your guides. Nine times out of 10 they go,
oh my God, I just had a doctor's appointment
or I was just gonna schedule an appointment.
Do you think that's still what I should do? Obviously.
Obviously. But sometimes they just need that
extra push or their guides need them to know,
yes, you should go get this checked. But of course,
I'm also never going to say, you have to go to
the doctor and instill fear in somebody. I always
advise them to follow their gut feelings. But
if they're bringing it up to me, I usually try
to deliver that message. How can we put these?
Can we open these? Let's see what we have here.
Okay, so we're Situation at Hand, Eight of Pentacles,
focusing on work, focusing on your work venture,
self -mastery. So exactly what we were talking
about earlier, maybe wondering about what pathways
are available to you and creating more space
in your life to welcome in those new opportunities.
The obstacle we face though is death or rebirth.
Okay, the death card does not mean that you're
going to die. No. Hollywood would make it seem
that it's not what this card means. I'm glad
that one came up because I was going to ask you
about the Death card. It just means rebirth,
transformation. And this card specifically, it's
a much more modern deck, has both names. It says
Death and Rebirth. Traditional tarot decks will
just say Death on it. So this card speaks to
massive endings in our life. And as this is the
obstacle card, you might have a fear of change.
Or again, the four of pentacles coming up earlier
shows us you might have a reluctance to let go
of something out of fear or out of self -doubt.
It's something that we all deal with. So this
shows us again that for that next collaborative
opportunity, which is the three of pentacles,
teamwork makes the dream work, working with others.
To have that take place in your life, there are
going to have to be other endings or transformations.
It's almost the idea that Through sacrifice or
closing one door a door to the past the door
to the future opens with many new friends voices
and peers for you to work with And at the end
of the day, if you take that suggestion or if
you choose to let go, to let in a new blessing,
the Ten of Pentacles speaks to longevity, inheritance,
legacy, a life that we are so incredibly happy
to create and leave behind, a life that we've
always dreamt of. We do also have the Hierophant
coming out here, which shows me that if you do
not choose to move in this direction, you'll
still have a very structured path. You'll still
have a very structured way of living, a very
fulfilling and aligning path. It just feels a
little more exciting for you if you choose a
new pathway or follow that passion. Well, let's
fit this way. When you're saying structured life,
ooh, no fun there. I get to cook meatloaf once
a week. Yeah, no more meatloaf. I love this.
I'm so glad we were able to finally do this and
get some readings and. I think it's really interesting.
And how can people find you on Instagram and
TikTok? Yeah, so if they want to find me, I only
have those two platforms. Again, I will say that
because there are a lot of fake Facebook accounts
and Instagram and TikTok accounts circulating.
She does not DM anybody. I will never DM you
for a reading. I will only DM you if you've DMed
me first asking, how do I book a session? Or
can you do a party for me? Or can I fly you out?
The answer is always yes to that, by the way.
You can always fly me out. But you can find me
on Instagram. at Sarah's Oracle with a period
in between the words so Sarah's period Oracle
and on TikTok just Sarah's Oracle. Are you going
to be on like how often you said usually every
night or at least five times a week so Yeah so
I'm posting daily on TikTok my collective messages
my collective tarot readings and then I'm going
live at minimum four to five times a week usually
in the evening for when everybody's at home after
work or after school. Oh and the one thing I
did want to ask you talking about TikTok how
do you know that a TikTok reading is for everybody.
And you had said something about it coming up
in the feed. Yeah, so a lot of times I ask Spirit
before I sit down and I channel whatever the
message is. I say, what do people need to know?
Can you place me in front of the collective or
in front of the eyes that need to see this message?
Or can you just place us on the same path at
the same time? So I do think that Spirit has
the ability to kind of influence the algorithm
at times. But again, if you're just on tarot
TikTok, you're going to get a thousand tarot
readings. It's going to be up to the person watching.
to decide, does this resonate with me? Does it
not? But you wouldn't believe how many times
I've had a person DM me and say, I tried to scroll
past that video 10 times and it kept coming back
up. I've never thought to scroll tarot readings,
I just scroll for you. I'm glad we finally were
able to do this and I do appreciate you and everything
that you do, I... thoroughly enjoy it and I enjoy
learning more about tarot cards and about readings
and about spirit and catch her on TikTok, on
Instagram. And my name is Tracy Martens and this
is another episode of YQGN Bloom. You guys all
have a good day.
