You know how in weather when they give you a watch or a warning? A watch meaning hey, just keep your eyes to the skies. But a warning is get to the basement now. It's imminent, it's happening. I'm going to issue a warning for July. Hi everybody, welcome to another episode of the Astrology Lounge, where we are making astrology every day easy to use. We are, I like to say, reincorporating. Yeah, that's right, re-incorporating the science of the stars back into our everyday life, very similar to how we look at the weather, to know when to plant food, harvest food, what to wear, what not to wear. I'm on a mission. And thank you guys for being here with me. The astrology of July 2026. Go ahead and pop that one into Google. Or whatever you use to research nowadays. If you're on social media, pop it into search bars. I'm sure there's lots of stuff about it. And one thing that is going around heavily is former astrologers who has since passed away, Andre Barbot. He was a French astrologer. He was more of predicting cycles for the masses, kind of what astrology has its origins in. Remember, astrology was originally used to help the collective, you know, predict war, predict famine, predict uh political uprise, predict seasons and cycles, is how it goes so so far back, right? Like when the moon is full, we noticed this. When the moon was full during the cold month, it was this. We noticed when the moon was full at the peak of summer, it was a strawberry moon because the strawberries were in abundance. Andre Barbot is similar to that. He was a cyclical astrologer and he is famed for predicting the COVID pandemic. Now, a lot of people are talking about his book Planetary Cycles, which was written in French and was translated into English. So, you know, as you read on the internet, just be aware of that, be cautious of that. Lost in translation, if you will. But Andre predicted that 2026, July specifically of 2026, as the most beautiful configuration of the 21st century. And his words, it was it looks to be a splendid relaunch of civilization, or my favorite phrase he uses to call July the collective reflowering. So what he is talking about, and you'll probably see it going around being called Barbo's Basket. And we're gonna get down to exactly why it's being called a basket. But what he's talking about is that all of the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, and how soon Jupiter are entering new signs. They're at the beginning of new signs. And if you remember from earlier this year, when we talked about 2026 astrology, all the outer planets finally move direct in air and fire signs. Whereas for the past 20 to 30 years, even longer than that, they've been in water and earth signs. Now just think of those things from an elemental standpoint. When I think of water and earth, I think of relaxation. When I think of air and fire, I think of a warning siren. Whoa, lots of energy. Earth and water, laying by the beach, floating in a kayak on a lake, cabin, mountain, chill. Air and fire, wildfire. Hot air balloon, terrified but beautiful. Right? These are the things I'm thinking of. So this is what Andre Barbot was talking about, with the July 2026 configuration being an exceptionally positive turning point in humanity's longer-term planetary cycles. So there's the exact configuration is quite wild. I am big into numerology. I'm getting into Sabian symbols when I remember to look at them. But the exact configuration for the magic of July occurs between July 19th to 23rd. I'll have to get to that point in my notes to verify. But like July 19th to 23rd, so a little towards the middle to end of the month, we will have a 4444 configuration. What do I mean by that? Jupiter, 4 degrees, Leo, Uranus, 4 degrees, Gemini, Neptune, 4 degrees, Aries, Pluto, 4 degrees, Aquarius. Guys, 4444, what does it mean? A rare network of trines and sextiles among these outer planets. Um one article summarized Barbo's basket as saying he envisioned a new golden era for humanity. Now, I'm saying all of this like July is gonna be the most magical month of it all. Not like that. Gold will not rain from the sky, cancer will not be cured at the stamp of a finger, although I wish it will, and I think it will soon. But a turning point. A turning point, just like that Jupiter-Venus conjunction felt like uh like what happened? Nothing happened, maybe it did for you, but for most people, it was just another day. But it's the bigger picture, it's the undercurrent of what exactly was happening. Astrology sometimes does work literally, and those are the most eye-opening experiences, but oftentimes it's a subtle undercurrent, and it's really important to journal and write things down so that you can zoom back out and see. That's why on all of our new moon and full moon podcast episodes, I encourage you at the end, hey, write your future self a note, put it in a time capsule and open it at the next lunar event in this same zodiac sign so that you can see and have data for yourself that there is something very similar at play in your specific life with your chart during these lunar six every six month cyclical events. So tying that back into Barbo's basket and what Andre Barbo was saying is July 2026 either could be, and when we get into the entire astrology of July, I use the word warning because I think it could be something literal that we see, and you think of all the astrologers, you listen to or podcasters, you listen to or the things you see on social media, or at bare minimum, the gut feelings that you have had about okay, we gotta have a turning point. Something has to give. I think we're all in this collective fatigue of like I said, I say this to my family members all the time who are, you know, keeping up with current events, and I'm not on social media routinely anymore, so I don't know what's trending, what's going viral, and it's so nice to not know. I'm just not the type of person that can handle that, and not in this era anyway. Uh it's like I don't need any more evidence that the world's on fire. I've seen enough, I've felt enough to know what what is one more bad article, one more awful video of someone getting murdered. Netflix cut the shit. I'm tired of seeing documentaries about cheating and murdering, and oh, it just affects me so much. I I don't need any more evidence to know that the world is awful. I need more evidence that there's still good in the world. And so I don't know where I was getting with that. But I think that July 2026 may not be evidence for things to change, but it could be a literal event or string of events that show change is here and change is our only option. I'm gonna read to you the exact quote from Barbeau from his original French text in his book Planetary Cycles Mundane Astrology. He described the 2026 period as the peculiarity of the turning point of 2026 to 2030 is represented by the centrality of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at the beginning of Aries. Do you guys remember that? It was in February of this year. Go back to that episode if you don't know. We are faced with the possibility of a change, such as to make the terms change or upheaval seem too weak to define the breadth of what could transform in the known world. So basically, what he is saying is in such a beautiful poetic way, that Neptune conjunction with Saturn at zero degrees, the first degree of the entire zodiac back in February, the seed was planted then. The first sprout, or in Barbeau's words, the first flower could come in July. A splendid relaunch of civilization. I love that. It's so poetic and beautiful. So remember, Barbo's basket is not uh a term that he coined himself. That's what us English-speaking pop astrologers are using and making go viral on the internet. So just be aware of that. So I want to reiterate that we are not saying, so to speak. It's so hard to translate this because I want to be accurate, but I want to give room for life and nature to run its course. Barbo viewed 2020 to 2021 as the deepest low point of the century's planetary cycles, and 2026 as the beginning of the ascent out of that trough. That's where the collective reflowering rather than an overnight miracle. So I agree with that. It's like we hit rock bottom and the lowest of the low in 2020 and 2021. And ever since then, we've kind of been coming up, going, okay, like what is it? Two steps forward, five steps back, so to speak. It's been a long ride. We're collectively fatigued. Barbeau, and I will join Barbo in his prediction of July 2026. Although I'm gonna add my own spin to it of what I personally think is gonna happen. I do think it is a change, and mostly Jupiter moving into Leo. I've got my fingers crossed for a complete rise of young Leo-like leaders stepping up for us. He, I remember reading about what he predicted for July 2026, at least what's to come after that major shift and change, end to poverty. He talked about finances, um, a technology explosion, housing changing, and this is all what we talked about last week with Chiron and Taurus. The wound is shifting from identity-based into no resources, material items, Mother Earth. We want to get back to nature, we want to get back to our roots, we want to have good food, we want to have backyards and chickens. We want to. I was telling my mom this morning when she asked about it. I was saying that I think the next eight years are going to be a lot about people going back in time, so to speak, and wanting that traditional family and a farm and we're bartering and we're trading, so to speak, not completely. But this feeling of can we have our cake and eat it too? Can we go back in time and not rely on electricity and modern amenities so much, but utilize artificial intelligence or technology or social media. So instead of I'm bartering with the only people I know, which are the three people that live on my street, I'm bartering by selling things on the internet with my local community or putting out marketing on the community, website, forums, all those things to bring them to me. So it's like having the best of both worlds. Because despite things being so chaotic right now, I still, in the quiet of my own mind, think, oh my god, we're we are in the golden era. I'm so lucky my soul chose to be here at this time. This is incredible. Look what we're witnessing, look what we're watching, look what we have. Holy moly! So to break this down in layman's terms, what Andre Barbeau, July 2026 basket is referring to is imagine all the slow-moving planets in the sky, so the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, forming a giant team huddle instead of fighting each other, instead of pulling in different directions. Humanity reaching a turning point where cooperation with each other becomes easier than conflict. Society starts asking and thinking bigger questions, bigger ideals about how we want to cohabitate and live together. It's basically an astrology theory that says this summer is like humanity coming out of a long storm and trying to figure out how to build together. Which leads me to my personal predictions of this. And we're gonna keep bouncing back and forth into this. This entire episode will be bouncing back and forth into the basket, we'll call it, because it's so rare, truly is rare. I can see why Andre wrote about it extensively. When I hear that July will be when humanity comes together and it's a reflowering, and it's beautiful, it's the most beautiful configuration of the 21st century and a splendid relaunch of civilization. You know what I think is that that doesn't come without a price or a cost. And I'm not saying this to scare you. You guys know how I am. I'm not fear tactics or fear mongering. Sometimes I'm like, ooh, maybe should I use my Scorpio moon to manipulate you and to clickbait and get you to tune into my stuff? I just can't. I don't care if I go viral. I don't want to put that pressure on me because it then it ruins my passion for this. It becomes fake or like performative, and I just want to chill here on the podcast. So I predict that. I mean, I not even predict, just think about human behavior. What brings us all together? Crisis, terrible things, awful things, war, tornadoes, hurricanes, fighting, um, floods, earthquakes, natural disasters, I guess is what I'm trying to get at. Or man-made disasters. Nothing brings a community together more than something awful. And hope you can say this with a grain of salt, and we all have our stories, right? But what brings the family together? Death or birth, just major events. You know, when someone passes away, all of a sudden it's like, ooh, I haven't talked to my brother in forever, but now our mom passed away, so maybe we should like bury the hatchet and kind of, you know, be there for each other because whoa, we're next. Like we're the next generation to get put in a coffin. So, you know, that's that's what brings people together, and I feel like we have been so divided as people that and continue to fall for it, that the only thing that could get us to truly wake up and stop taking things. So Chiron and Aries personally, identity, individuality constantly being under scrutiny is crisis. It's a cr- I used to say this on my podcast, like Workers Lounge. I would say, guys, how freaking privileged and lucky are we that we have the luxury of being able to just study our birth charts and get to know ourselves. Like back in the day, you don't have time for that. Kids need fed, cows need milk. Like a child is dying, a pet is dying, there's a tornado coming, there's a heat wave coming, you're about to freeze to death and have no food for three months. What are you gonna do? You don't have time for the luxury of all this stuff. And so it's it, I just can't believe we got to a point now where we're arguing over genders. I'm like, wow, we I thought like that that's enough privilege to be able to study our human design and our enneagram and our and our astrology, but now we get to argue over our genders. Wow, I don't know what else we can fight for. Like it's humans always need problems to solve, and I think that we have advanced so quickly, we've outdone ourselves as a species, and we are just it's boiled down to I don't know what gender I am. All right, we're not gonna make this political or social podcast, all right? We are not going down that route, but where I'm going with all of this is that I think we are reaching a turning point where we have to realize that we are taking our luxury amenities for granted and we're not using them the correct way, whatever God or universe or magical force intended us to. I if you believe in God or whatever you believe it is, something, the Matrix, is looking down at us and going, we put you your souls here and this time to utilize these magical amazing gifts like artificial technology and Wi-Fi and smartphones, and what are you doing? Arguing over biology? No, it was supposed to bring you together, it was supposed to solve these huge problems that were once like, no, that's just human nature. Like, I don't know. I don't know. I think July is gonna bring that up. So before I get too canceled in my reviews, because I am the only astrologer I know of that I'm not conservative, I am not Republican, I'm I'm nothing, guys. I don't follow that, I don't have enough information to vote. I have continuously since I was very young, a teenager. I I would go back to elementary school when George Bush visited my school, and I was like, I don't get it, I don't see the hype on this guy. I've I just I voted once in my life and I regret it. I I so don't don't go there and put me in a basket of judging of judgment of my political, my social beliefs. I'm the most neutral. Like, just be a good human, just be nice, just be kind, just be open-minded. That's it. But have at it in the review section. Um, Barbo's basket. What is he talking about? This basket shape. If you want to see, if you're like me and you're a very visual learner, draw the wheel, cut it into 12 slices, and then write Aries in the first slice, Taurus in the next, Gemini in the next, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sag, Cap, Aqua Pisces. And then use a highlighter and highlight the Aries piece, the Gemini piece, the Leo slice, and the Aquarius slice. And then connect a dot between Aquarius to Aries to Gemini to Leo, and then whoop, slide the line up back to Aquarius, because those are oppositions, and you'll see for yourself the basket shape. Excuse me. So Pluto is in Aquarius forming a sextile, 60 degrees supportive opportunity to Saturn and Neptune, two signs away in Aries. Well, Saturn and Neptune, chilling in Aries, are two signs away, or 60 degrees, sextile, another opportunity God's giving us, to Uranus and Gemini, advancement of technology. And then Uranus and Gemini is forming a sextile, 60 degrees away from coming up in about 10 days, Mr. Big and Abundant in Beliefs. Jupiter moving into Leo. And then when Jupiter is in Leo, he will form an opposition 180 degrees away from Pluto, way up there in Aquarius, boom, boom, boom, you have your basket shape or your boat. Another way to think about this is if you look at a birth chart, if you do a reading with me, one of the first things I ask you, like our sessions are very much a conversation, and not so much me just teaching you and telling you who you are. It's a conversation. Everybody leaves my session saying that felt like therapy. Some people like it, other people don't. I've had to warn, forewarn people, like if when you book a reading with me and you've got lots of choices, so be aware. When you book a reading with me, I do take a therapeutic approach. I can't help it. It's just my Scorpio moon. I have a degree in leadership. I want to empower you to be your own best leader. Um, I say, look at your chart. What pops out to you? If you have a stellium or if all the planets are around one part of your chart, everybody always points out, oh, everything is kind of squished over to that side. Think about it this way: from Aquarius to Leo, those six signs in that bunch, they're covered in planets. But Virgo to Capricorn, they got nothing. They're empty. That's an imbalanced sky, if you will. But maybe imbalance is the wrong word. There's a lot of energy on the left. It's like, oh, we can no longer deny that we were just in a right side of the sky, and now we are over to the left. Something is shifting and changing. It's already here, in my opinion. So let's break down the actual geometry real quick. We have Saturn conjunct Neptune that happened back in February, and this is like the centerpiece, the new 36-year cycle of some new dream, Neptune taking form or the realization that we have this dream. It's gonna be a lot of work and a lot of change and law, government, and regulations to achieve it. Got it. Pluto and Aquarius forming a sextile to Saturn and Aries, structural transformation for the collective. Aquarius, the people could be coming through so. Social media or the internet that is Aquarius, long-term institutional, governmental rebuilding and rebranding. I know it sounds wild, but I do believe that Republican and Democrat is a wash. Like it's it's going away. That's just my feeling. Pluto is also forming a sextile to Neptune and Aries, sitting with Saturn, collective ideological, the collective spiritual or religious shifts. We witnessed this when Charlie Kirk got assassinated. We just saw this huge resurgence of Christianity, Catholicism, spirituality got big before that, and I still think it's here, but it's kind of becoming like not the most popular. Irregardless of what you believe in, there's people leaving the church coming to spirituality. There's people in spirituality saying, whoop, I had a negative experience. I'm going to religion. That's Pluto's sextiling Neptune. Uranus sextiling Saturn. So Uranus is in Gemini forming a sextile opportunity to Saturn and Aries. Innovation and tech meeting structure and the government. This opportunity to me, Uranus and Gemini, Saturn and Aries is guys, the more we listen to each other and not people that have been leading us the wrong way or lying to us, the more opportunities we have to actually fix what's going on. Neuronus and Gemini is also sextiling Neptune and Aries. Technological, imaginative breakthroughs. This is just supplementing, like, guys, I know I sound wild, and a lot of you don't like it when I say we robots are going to be common stance in the average household. It's no different than when phones hit the scene and iPads hit the scene, and we were like, yep, no, no, that's that's not, and now look at it. Um, Jupiter, when it moves into Leo, will be forming a sex tile into Uranus and Gemini. Expansion through innovation, expansion through invention, abundance, or our belief systems changing because of AI and all the information that is going to be flooded our way. Dan Bongino, I I barely know who he is. I feel I sound like a fool when I talk about these people because I don't follow him. But Mr. Virgo showed me. He just released a video like, you don't know what's coming. I want to be on the right side of history. How many people have said that? But uh, you can feel this. You can definitely feel this change, this power. Jupiter will trine Saturn and Neptune. This is the most obviously constructive piece of the picture. It is support. Jupiter and Leo is gonna feed that Aries conjunction, support all the structure, the new beginnings. And yeah, some people say could be a war coming up. Remember, when was it exactly? I had so many of you text me, email me, uh when Trump like struck a Middle East country, guys. I literally don't know. I sound like a fool trying to name it. I'm all about the big picture and the vibes, not the details and the data. I should call Mr. Virgo in here now. But he did something, like started a war, and everyone was like, We did he did it. Oh my gosh, it's happening. What's going on? What does astrology say? I think that was just a piece of the puzzle that was gearing up for. There's like something going on. I've heard people say that Trump is doing something that he's been planning for for a long time, and like he knows what he's doing. Like, and then there's people are like, what is Trump doing? This makes no sense. This is not what we've and people are like, just wait. You're gonna see, you're gonna see. It's gonna be revealed. I I again I don't follow politics, but that one, when I put it on top of astrology, makes the most sense for July because Trump is a Gemini, Sagittarius moon, Leo rising. So I believe he has Pluto in Leo as well. So this guy is gonna have Jupiter conjunct Pluto, which is like the ultimate either major misuse of power, exaggerated, or becomes the most powerful person in the world by default by doing something so Leo, theatrical, wild, dramatic. And Jupiter moving through someone's first house, if they're already famous, they become even bigger, even more famous. And this is gonna be from July 1st until late July of 2027. I'm gonna go ahead and say that with Uranus approaching his Gemini son too, something this guy is doing will be something we watch and witness, or that affects us for the entire time Jupiter is in Leo. It's gonna be supporting. I'm like going through all his transits in my that should be its own podcast episode. However, while Barbo's basket, while the major configuration of July is so intensely good, you know, sextiles are opportunity from Pluto to Saturn, opportunity from Saturn to Uranus, opportunity, opportunity. Sextiles go away if you don't take them. They disappear if you don't take them. And I really do believe that there is something, whether it's the aliens we confirmed exist, can we stop with the woo-woo aliens astrology? Like this stuff is real, it's boring now when people call it woo-woo. Like, okay, I see you're still in the 1800s, like it are the 1970s. Like, let's get out of here. We're bored if you say it's woo-woo. But there is an opposition from Jupiter opposite Pluto that has other more glass half-empty astrologers saying, like, yeah, uh, I don't know about that one. That is a major power struggle right there. Jupiter and Leo is, I'm right, you're wrong. Pluto and Aquarius is if you're right, does that mean anything if everybody dies or if the world completely goes under? All you have is that you were right? Is that enough? And so these guys are like opposition, total power struggle. That's the only phrase I can come up with right now between those two. That is at the tail end, forming the hardest line in this basket. So July is, I just want to keep reiterating this. Barbo and other astrologers are not predicting heaven on earth, we are predicting a major historical turning point. You know, it's less like everybody finally gets along, and it's more like the pieces for a new world order are being laid on the table. And yeah, I am gonna say through some type of event that triggers all of us into a collective what is going on. Which, how funny was it that Elon Musk was announced as the world's first trillionaire right before Chiron moved into Taurus? You know, a lot can come up for people when they hear that a fellow human is a trillionaire. What's the quote going around that if you have a dollar to your name, you are more close in wealth to Jeff Bezos than Jeff Bezos is to Elon Musk. That's insane. But um, I'm sure that brought up a lot for people, you know, as it always does. With money and finances, and that was like ushering in the Chiron and Taurus. You guys know me. I always say everything in astrology is building upon the other. Whatever happens in July has been building for a very long time. In Barbo's words, since 2020. And so you guys are some of the smartest, most intuitive people I've ever met. And I don't need to over-explain it because I feel like you're listening to this going, yep, I I can feel that. I have felt that. I know what you mean, girl. So July isn't world peace. We're not gonna celebrate the 4th of July here in America and be like, woohoo! Now everybody gets money and peace and happiness and we never fight again. It's more like acceleration into this new world order, into this new dream, and to this new, you know, years of work that we're gonna, it doesn't just land on your lap. It's going to be an a massive adjustment, no matter what the thing is, you know, like they always talk about universal basic income, which sounds so nice on the table, but if you take away having to work and produce and do stuff, what what you know, and with robots like I was talking about earlier, I have my opinions on it too. Just because I say it doesn't mean I'm for it. If you take away someone's sense of purpose, what do they have? And then what does that mentally and physically do to people when they don't have that? You know, circling back to Chiron and Taurus, I love to ask you guys this question when we're doing readings together. I say if money wasn't a factor, if it wasn't an issue, what would you do every day? And the most common answer I get is I would garden, I would grow fruit trees, I would plant things, I'd plant flowers, or if you have kids, you say I'd raise my own kids, I'd homeschool them, we'd play outside. It always has to do with Taurus themes. And so I think Chiron's movement into Taurus is going to be a lot of people saying, Why can't I live my life that way? I'm not asking for much. I'm asking to eat slower. I'm asking to eat more wholesome food that I'm connected to. I'm asking to not be so irritated around my kids because we gotta go, go, go. I don't want to worry about money. Is that so much to ask for? I think that July 2026, no matter what happens, is going to be the turning point towards finally utilizing the luxury of the modern amenities and the technology and the information at our fingertips, pointing it towards where it was intended to go rather than pointing it towards individuality and wounding and you know the misuse of spirituality and religion that got us into such a divided hole that we're currently in. Now here's the part I love the Sabian symbols and the numerology of this July basket, the 4-4-4-4, July 19th, the 23rd. I found it in my notes. It's uh I pulled it from the ephemeris. So that is to the day, of course, here in North America where I'm writing it from. We will have Uranus at 4 degrees, Gemini, Neptune 4 degrees Aries, Jupiter 4 degrees, Leo, Pluto at 4 degrees, Aquarius, Saturn will be 14 degrees Aries, or at 4 again, so she's not at the party, but she's watching. She's the bodyguard to the door. I want to read you guys something with the Sabian symbols that I think will blow your mind, as it did for me. But first, Pluto, 4 degrees Aquarius, the transformation of the collective systems, technology, social media, networks, Neptune at 4 degrees Aries, a new dream, a new vision, struggling to be born, because it is Aries, sign of birth, spark of new life. Uh, Neptune and Aries could be new religion, new way of having faith. Hello, aliens coming in to ruin it for us all. Uranus at four degrees, Gemini, radical changes in communication, information, education, AI, transportation as well. And then Jupiter moving into Leo, expansion of good leaders or egotistical leaders, creativity, identity, and visibility. So that's the four, four, four, four. And we know the number four itself in numerology is associated with foundations, structures, building, creating something durable. That's why we have the four seasons, four directions, four elements. The fourth house in astrology is cancer, the roots, the family, the foundations. So it's it's less again like the new world arrives and it's here. But more of the first beams of the new world, new structure are officially set into place. And you can see we can have more data by the end of July of what exactly it could be. So here are in the Sabian symbols, which, if you're unfamiliar with what Sabian symbols are, it's simply a phrase or a vision for each zodiac sign's zero to 29 degrees, right? Each degree has a phrase or a symbol connected to it. We should have a whole podcast episode on that, but not right now. So Pluto at four degrees Aquarius. The Sabian symbol for that is a council of ancestors is seen implementing the efforts of a young leader. If you don't believe me, Google this yourself. Google four degrees Aquarius Sabian symbol. A council of ancestors is seen implementing the efforts of a young leader. If that doesn't speak on all of this a lot, I mean we could end it right there. With Jupiter moving into Leo, the prediction of these new leaders, and then Pluto and Aquarius is like, we are the council of ancestors, or so maybe it's the boomer generation. I don't know. Saying, okay, let's implement these efforts. Four degrees Aries for that Neptune placement. The Sabian symbol is a triangle with wings. So this is like an inspired vision takes flight beyond its previous limitations. Four degrees Gemini, which is where Uranus is at. Ideas spreading rapidly, demanding immediate change. And then four degrees Leo Sabian symbol, where Jupiter will be sitting. Rock formations are seen towering over a deep canyon. Some great achievements, building some this is just my own words, building something that endures over strong foundations. There's the number four. That whether you take this literally or poetically, symbolically, it's pretty remarkable how well those all fit together. And remember, there is a symbol, there's 360 symbols, one for each degree in the zodiac. And so to have those four specifically tied together, forming this coherent story of what we're predicting was just wild and just so wild to me. Okay, let's let's go through this really quickly because that no matter what else happens in July, I am just focused on this basket, on this these opportunities that are going to be presented to us. But July 1st, we enter the month during a Mercury retrograde. It's all right, it's all good. It's in cancer, so we are really reflecting on our past, on our history, on how we actually emotionally feel about things. It's cancer, right? But July 1st, Jupiter, freshly in Leo, will be forming a square to Chiron freshly in Taurus. Can I afford to make that big change? I know I need to. Do I believe I deserve? Do I have the self-confidence and self-worth to go after something big? That's that Jupiter Square, Chiron. July 3rd, happy 4th of July almost to us Americans, our 250th birthday. Mars will be conjunct Uranus. This is this is the beginning of the ignition of the basket. Turning on Mars, action, movement, friction, touching Uranus, electricity. Mars and Uranus is like when you've been sliding across the floor in your socks, and then you go touch someone and you shock them, and they're like, ow! You're like, sorry. I was sliding across the floor, creating all this friction on my feet. But Mars is after this is gonna touch all of the planets. Um, or not touch them. When I say touch them, I don't mean conjunct, I mean forming a sextile or a trine to them, um, giving it gas, giving it friction, turning it on. So around the 4th of July, I imagine people are like, oh, this is what these astrologers were talking about. Oh, I feel it now. Okay. July 6th, the sun and cancer will be squaring Saturn and Aries, square, friction, tension, cancer season versus the planet that is teaching us how can I be an individual while still being a very loyal family member or loyal to my partner, my family that I made or that I come from. Uh, it can also be a lot of emotions getting upset in the collective environment, political sphere. July 7th, Neptune goes retrograde. Now, this isn't such a big deal. Some people might make it out to me. In my personal opinion, it's not. Neptune goes retrograde 40 to 45% of the time. It always does for five months of every year. However, it's unique in this sense in that Neptune retrograde is what it will be during this configuration of the basket in the sky. When Neptune goes retrograde, this can be Neptune's fog lifted. If Neptune direct in its most power is a fog machine, that's like, ooh, this is setting the tone for the concert. This is like creating a vibe. I love this. The lights are low, the fog machine's going. When Neptune goes retrograde, it's all the lights come on, the fog goes away, and it's just like bright LED lights in your face. And you're like, wait, no, you just killed the vibe. Fog lifting, illusions exposed, dreams turn inward rather than going outward. Why this is important, this is like the perfect setup for the basket. I can say something around that July 7th date could be the kickoff, where you're like, the illusion is gone. I the fog is lifted. I the rose-colored glasses just fell off. And when I looked up before I put them back on, I can never unsee what I just saw. Now then the next day, or a couple days later, July 9th, Venus values love, finances, enters Virgo. Yeah, we need to sort whatever we saw, we need to sort it out. We need to get very clear on what our plan is. Guys, what's the plan? We really value a plan right now, please. July 12th, Mercury Casimi, and that funny word for the sun and mercury sitting right on top of each other in the sign of cancer. July 12th, uh we are still in a Mercury retrograde during that time period, but when the sun and mercury meet, this is like, okay, whatever we've been reassessing, rethinking, reevaluating gets solidified around that day. July 14th, new moon at 21 degrees cancer. Okay, we're ready for a new start in family, foundations, housing, land, real estate, emotions. July 15th, the very next day. This is when Uranus forms a sextile to Neptune. So that piece gets locked in. Opportunity between the dream getting communicated through AI and innovation. July 17th, a couple days later, Uranus will be trying Pluto. Something about innovation. Tech AI could be supporting the greater transformation of the entire collective. July 19th, a couple days later, here we go. This is the days that I'm warning, entering the weather, warning for July 19th to the 23rd. We have Jupiter opposite Pluto, and the 4444 is permanently locked in. It's ready to reveal, it's ready to show. There's some sort of power struggle or someone flexing power, something to do with an overabundance of power that is going to present several opportunities for humanity. Choices, opportunities. To say no more, we could we have the opportunity to usher us into a new golden era. Think of like the 1920s, the roaring 20s. Lots of money here, money there, um, art, acceptance, joy, music, Leo. Jupiter will be opposite Leo, making it even bigger than you can imagine. July 22nd, in the middle of that, the sun enters Leo to say, Yep, no one can avoid this. Even you people like Steph that aren't on social media, it's gonna find its way to you. But we enter Leo season, which is always a season of drama, theatrics, big energy, loud, leaders, confidence, overconfidence, movement, creativity, joy, celebration, but also fires. July 23rd, the next day, Mercury goes direct. We know what to do. We know what contract to sign. We know what to communicate. July 26th, a few days later, is when the sun is opposite Pluto. This is adding more power struggle, the ego versus the collective. July 29th, we wrap up the month with a very strong full moon at six degrees Aquarius. This is this is a unique full moon for a couple of reasons. Number one, it has a direct threat, like I was saying earlier, to the new moon eclipse. When was it? February 17th. You guys remember that date? A lot of you have stories about things that happened in your life around that time. But there's a direct correlation to the seeds that were planted around February 17th on the Aquarius. New moon eclipse to this big full moon in Aquarius, wrapping up something from that time frame. We can go back and look politically or socially what happened around that time frame to get a clue of what could be coming in July as well. Now, simultaneously on this day, the sun and Leo will be conjunct, sitting on top of magnifying the powers, Jupiter. Jupiter and Leo. And so that spells out fun, excitement, movement, vitality. Um, and the sign of Leo, which is the sun, movement, drama, fires, whoa, what's going on? There's a lot happening. It's big, it's bright. Full moons are already big and bright culminations. That's a that's a hot day. I highlighted that one in hot pink because I was like, whoa, the house that is ruled by Aquarius in your chart, it's uh it's coming to a very big grand finale ending around that time frame. And it's big and it's exaggerated, and you might be well known for it, or someone might be watching it, or a lot of people may be watching it. It Aquarius is the sign of the people, right? There's like it's like if government is Capricorn, we the people are Aquarius. Is that a good analogy for it? And like, yeah, that's that's a good one. I wrote, whoa, next to this, and then as if that wasn't enough, I don't have anything for July 30th or 31st because we're just gonna be full moon hung over, Sun, Jupiter hung over, like whatever Leo drama or party happens, we're gonna be like two days off, please, around July 30th and 31st. But Saturday, August 1st, August is eclipse season. So just when we're like, okay, whatever happens, happens in July. What a ride that was. Whoa. August says, Oh, you thought we were done. Now we are kicking off eclipse season in the sign of Leo and in Pisces, August 12th and August 27th, along with many other things that are occurring in that month. Guys, stay tuned, subscribe, get notifications turned on. We're gonna have a lot to talk about. I am going to carry you through July. Not even carry you. We're gonna walk side by side through this month, okay? We are going to figure out what is happening, what is going on. Um there's nothing we can do. Life is life, life is gonna unfold. I do believe that some things are predestined and there's nothing you can do to change them. We just watched a movie last night called Bedazzled. Careful what you wish for. I thought it was so good. Uh but yeah, I think of that because I think of life and we're like, I wish or I hope this is gonna happen, but God's plans, right? God's plans. I think there is a universal plan for July, and there's nothing we can do but witness and observe. And I always tell you guys, you can't astrology does not control you. You're always in control of how you experience it. Similarly to how the weather doesn't necessarily control you. You control how you react to it, what you dress, do you go outside, do you not? Some people love winter and chase it, other people can't get enough summer. Like it's all personal preference. And I think July is gonna be what July is supposed to be. And all you can do is control how you react to it. And then if you want to dive even deeper into it, look at where this basket sits in your own personal chart. Where are you being gifted opportunities to participate in this collective re-flowering? Right? Go find Aquarius, Leo, Gemini, Aries houses in your chart and see where you're getting a lot of opportunities for change. You just might have to bring a little balance to the Leo and Aquarius part of your chart. But if you do, the Aries part, the Gemini part look beautiful. And the Aquarius and Leo, all of them do. And you know how you can do that? You can come see me and put Barbo's Pesket in the intake form so we can talk about it, or you can just put, I want to talk about July. My calendar, I think, is booked for July. Don't quote me on that. Go check it out. We always have people rescheduling their sessions, so even if you go look and try to book a reading and it's taken up, go back and look. But um, that's the astrology for July. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be interesting. Leo's, I need to talk to you. You guys are kind of shifting from Geminis, especially Gemini Risings, we're the sign of the hour. Now it's Leo's. Let's talk. But I will be back to talk about the full moon and Capricorn coming up, Jupiter and Leo, giving you some Jupiter and Leo horoscopes, and of course, Mercury Gatorade. Mercury retrograde. Guys, thank you for being here. Thank you for allowing me to do what I love for a living. It's always so fun to share space with you on the airwaves, and thank you for your time. I will see you on the next podcast episode. Me and the Pugs are sending so much love from Twin Moon Ranch outside of beautiful Austin, Texas. We'll see you on the next episode.
