I’m so excited to share this conversation with you. In this episode, I sit down with my brilliant friend Mauricio García—aromatherapist, perfumer, astrologer, and magic-maker—to explore how we can resist in times of chaos without burning out.

We talk about the current astrology and how each zodiac sign and element has its own way of showing up, sustaining energy, and protecting boundaries. We also go deep into scent as ritual, and how connecting with your body is a powerful act of resilience.

Whether you're a passionate Fire sign or an intuitive Water sign, this episode offers tools, insights, and grounding practices to support you on your path.

Pisces season is in full swing, and the cosmic tides are shifting in profound ways. As we move into the second half, we’re diving even deeper—navigating major planetary shifts that call for intuition, surrender, and transformation.

From Mercury’s dance with Saturn and Neptune to a powerful New Moon in Pisces, we’ll explore how this energy shapes our mindset, dreams, and decisions. With Mars finally moving direct and Venus stationing retrograde, relationships, desires, and emotional clarity take center stage.

This episode unpacks the waves of change ahead—helping you move with the flow rather than against it. Tune in for insights on how to embrace the depths, trust your intuition, and harness these transits for personal and spiritual growth. 🌊

February 18th – Sun enters Pisces: The season of dreams and deep emotions begins, inviting introspection, creativity, and spiritual renewal.

In this episode of the Modern Witches Confluence podcast, host Casey Zabala speaks with Charlie Claire Burgess, a tarot creator and writer whose work redefines the traditional structures of divination. They discuss how tarot, often rooted in binary archetypes, can be queered to reflect fluidity, multiplicity, and personal truth. Charlie shares their journey as a nonbinary practitioner, the philosophy behind Radical Tarot, and how dismantling rigid narratives within tarot can empower deeper self-exploration and collective liberation.

Charlie Claire Burgess is a queer and trans-nonbinary author and illustrator working at the intersection of tarot, spirituality, and queerness. They are the author of Radical Tarot: Queer the Cards, Liberate Your Practice, and Create the Future and the creator of the Fifth Spirit Tarot and Gay Marseille Tarot decks. Charlie’s second book, Queer Devotion: Spirituality Beyond the Binary in Myth, Story, and Practice, is forthcoming from Hay House in May 2025. Charlie recently guest edited The Star issue of the annual print anthology of tarot-themed creative writing and art The Rebis, and Charlie’s short stories and non-fiction have appeared in The Lambda Literary Review, F(r)iction, Hunger Mountain, and elsewhere.
