The Barbault Basket and the Sub-Four-Minute Mile: Inside the Cosmic Playbook of Josh Kerr’s Record

 

"The barrier did not simply fall for one extraordinary athlete. It fell for everyone." 

Attributed to Sir Roger Gilbert Bannister (23 March 1929 – 3 March 2018) 

Dear friends, starseeds, light workers, cosmic travelers, seekers of a new consciousness.... 

I wrote in my blog about the Aries New Moon on April 17th: After Mars entered Aries on April 9th and a profound shift occurred for all of us. Mars the ruler of Aries entered his home sign the first time since the Neptune/Saturn conjunction on February 20th. Adding to the flames this was the same day the year of the Fire Horse began. Since then the universe has seemingly told us to stop thinking and start moving our ass.

Speaking of moving  fast as in a time of  accelaration and record breaking themes. 

Josh Kerr broke the men's mile world record on Saturday, July 18, 2026, during the London Diamond League. He ran the Emsley Carr Mile at the London Stadium at 3:36 p.m. local time (10:36 a.m. EDT), clocking a time of 3 minutes and 42.66 seconds.  Kerr's historic performance shattered Hicham El Guerrouj's previous world record of 3:43.13, which had stood for 27 years! 

No Astrologer today can ignore that on July 18th when the mile  record was broken, the pattern which has been dubbed everything from  a “Grand Sextile,” “Mystic Triangle,” or “Barbault Basket" was off and running. You may remember on my blog/article here it was written that: humanity enters a period where history seems to accelerate. Old systems become unstable, new ideas emerge rapidly, and events that normally unfold over decades or even centuries can happen within just a few years. 

The  chart for the record breaking time is set 3:36 PM GMT +1:00 BST where we see Uranus  @ 4 degrees 30 minutes of Gemini in a super close trine to Pluto @ 4 degrees 29 minutes in the 7th  house  of partnerships,  joint ventures, and collaborations. (Josh Kerr born Oct. 8, 1997 in Edinburgh Scotland time unknown) Josh Kerr’s collaboration with the "222" concept—known as Project 222—was a meticulously planned world-record attempt to run a mile in 222 seconds (3 minutes and 42 seconds) More on Josh's natal chart later. First let's look at chart for  the new mile record: 

When analyzing this event chart for July 18, 2026, in London, the cosmos was practically screaming that a historic athletic milestone was about to occur. Mars, the planet that acts as the celestial engine for physical drive, speed, and competitive spirit, was positioned in a highly cooperative alignment with Uranus, the cosmic rule-breaker and planet of sudden, shocking breakthroughs. In sports astrology, this specific connection operates like a shot of cosmic adrenaline, indicating that human physical limits are ready to be shattered in an instant. This exact planetary duo perfectly mirrors the explosive final lap where the decades-old record was completely obliterated.

In the chart above for  the  record breaking time, Scorpio was risng @ 15 degrees so the rulers of the  chart were: 

 (1) Mars @ 13 Gemini 54 placed in the  7th house with a one  degree orb to Asteroid Atlantis (connection to ancient civilization).  Mars was in a close lucky sextile to Saturn/Salacia in Aries reflecting timing and preparation.

Andromeda Alpheratz, conjunct Saturn is all about breaking free of constraits and embracing

liberation. Alpheratz is also a major star in the Great Square of Pegasus which include Scheat, Markab

and Algenib.

(2) Pluto the modern ruler of this chart is found in the 3rd house adding an intense mental focus.

Sitting in the MC or the most public sector is the S. Node conjunct the Royal Star Regulus (the Heart of the Lion)

indicative of the champion whose past gives tell of a karmic intersection of power and release.

Jupiter in Leo is in the 9th house and closely opposes Pluto amplifies not only the extreme impact

of this sheer athletic event and tells of quest involved in achieving this record breaking goal.

A quick look at the birth  chart  for Josh Kerr ( Oct. 8, 1997 , time unknown using 12 Noon for Edinburgh, Scotland ) as noted Sun in Libra @ 15 degrees conjunct True Lilith adding to his obsessive drive both next to the centaur Pholus @ 14 Libra which is all  about major breakthroughs in life. 

His Chart Below 

In terms of sheer athletic ability and seeker consciousness (following his bliss and heart) he has Venus conjunct Ixion at super critical zero degrees Sagittarius close to dwarf planet Quaoar @ 3 degrees Sagittarius tells of his incredible ability to  bring spirit into matter by the  practices which undoubtedly included visualization, mental disciplines and obviously daily practice .  His natal  Pluto  is @ 3  degrees 40 minutes of Sagittarius near Mars @ 6  degrees  Sag.  Having his natal Pluto in a close sextile  to both the  Pluto - Uranus trine  to the Barbault Basket configuration is monumental  along with trines  to  transiting Jupiter in the 9th house  of  the  World  Record Chart.  Going deeper with  a Yod (finger of God) pointing to Jupiter @ 12 degrees Aquarius from Makemake @ 13 Virgo (relating to the ability to analyze  data  and  new systems) sextile Sirius A which is  conjunct his Vertex point speaking loudly about his fame,  success and  intense  ambition .

In simpler terms,  Pluto, the planet of intense focus, sitting right next to Mars, the planet of raw energy and athleticism, in that same active sign of Sagittarius. This explosive duo connects beautifully to a rare, highly harmonious cosmic pattern in the sky called a Barbault Basket configuration, while simulta higher purpose. He has Venus sitting side-by-side with the asteroid Ixion at the absolute beginning of Sagittarius, right next to the dwarf planet Quaoar. In plain English, this means he has an incredible knack for turning mental visions and spiritual willpower into physical reality. This isn't just about wishing for success; it points to a masterful use of visualization, strict mental conditioning, and a deep, soulful love for the daily grind of training.

Looking toward those super sensitive 4 degree placements in  in the  "Basket" with Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter, notice that in his  natal  chart Haumea, goddess of  regeneration and renewal is at 4 degrees Libra  near Atlantis @ 2 degrees.  Bottom  line there is literally something in this guy's DNA (asteroid DNA 5555) @ 7 degrees Gemini is in opposition ot his Natal Mars @ 6 degrees Sagittarius  and both sextile Haumea.  

The deepest layers of his chart suggest this athletic greatness is practically woven into his biology. He has the asteroid DNA sitting directly opposite his Mars, meaning his ability to tap into a never-ending reservoir of energy and keep his composure under pressure is literally a part of who he is. This structural balance between explosive power and perfect physical harmony is what allowed him to shatter a barrier many thought was impossible. Haumea @ 4 degrees Libra, there is that 4 degree point of Sextile to the main players in that cosmic basket At least for the first leg of the Basket. With these kinds of super-charged configurations echoing through the cosmos right now, his achievement is just the beginning; we can expect a domino effect of broken records across all types of sports throughout the rest of the summer and fall.

Cancer New Moon 2026 - Commune with the Energies of the Unseen and Sail Away

 

The fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be a-smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in. 

By Bob Dylan 

Dear Friends, Awakened Starseeds, Galactic Travelers and Astrological Friends.

While  the electrified and animated energies of  the  outer planets: Uranus, Pluto and Neptune develop their  Minor  Grand  Trine and Jupiter moves into an exact opposition to Pluto and the Basket configuration approaches, many souls especially astrologers are filled with over the top expectations that suddenly everything will change. As if a magic spell is cast and a new world rises like an apparition. In terms of major astronomical, aeronautical and cosmological discoveries many have  occurred with Jupiter (expansion) conjunct Uranus (sudden innovations).   We will  have a Jupiter sextile to  Uranus exactly on July 21, 2026. As once again nthe two sky Gods, Zeus/Jupiter and Uranus are in  alignment. 

Consider that the Hubble Telescope was built in 1981 when Pluto and Jupiter were conjunct @ 24 degrees Libra near Spica and Arcturus. 

In 1990 the Hubble Telescope was launched on April 24, 1990 from Edwards Air Force base with Uranus in opposition to Jupiter 

In 1969 with Jupiter-Uranus-Moon conjunction, humanity achieved the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing, marking mankind’s first steps on the Moon.

In  1997: Just before the conjunction, the Cassini-Huygens mission was launched toward Saturn, and the Mars Pathfinder successfully landed on the Red Planet, deploying the first roving vehicle. 

 From my own experience and deep connections, I see everything happening in stages as we move into  2028/30. Sure there will be upgrades on an individual and group level but it is  not time to  pop the cork on the etheric champaign and christen the  newly built luxury liner of abundance and total heart coherence. 

Time to  be here  now  and  start embodying the mystical doorway opening on July  14th  with a New  Moon in Cancer.  This emotional New Moon occurs at  21 degrees and 59 minutes of the sign of remembrance, dreaminess, nurturing, protective crab shell, cardinal reactions, sensitive, and deeply empathetic - the sign of the Mother.  Over the last two days, Mercury still retrograde has passed by the  Sun and finally the Moon.   

The Sabian Symbol  for 22 degrees Cancer of the Sun and MOON  

 has a watery and imaginative feeling: A young person awaiting a sailboat.  This symbol  speaks of anticipation, a strong sense that the ideal will come if one just waits long enough There is a longing for fulfillment  when our ship finally comes in. 

Rudhyar in his keynote calls this  degree: The longing  for transcendent happiness  in the soul opened to  great dreams.  This is a special time when we should look within and grasp the opportunities that can be lost by the inaction of not looking deep within  our  soul's memories. 

Let's dig in and unpack  two charts for this New Moon: 

the  first one below is devoid of the  dwarf planets, galactic points and asteroids except for Chiron @ 0 degrees Taurus 40 minutes  set for Pacific Daylight time. 

As we see Gemini is rising with Mars @ 10 degrees separating from the  previoius conjunction with the  disruptive, yet innovative energy of Uranus in the 12th house  In other words Mercury is the ruler  of this chart and by  now you might have 

experiended and rode out the trickster Mercury's delays, refrains and reviews stemmng from retrograde motion. On the new Moon Merucry is  @ 19 degrees Cancer and  applying to a square with Saturn in Aries, fortunately that 90 degree angle doesn't perfect again  since the Sun was exactly Square Saturn on July 6th and was an opportunity to organize our lives .  

Mercury, the  personal planet of  all types of  communication finally moves  direct on July 23rd. @ 16 degrees Cancer. (Also on July 22nd. the Sun is enters happier, benevolent, gradiose and  more joyous Leo.)  Slower moving Saturn stations and moves retrograde on July 26th within a one degree orb of being  in an exact square with the  Sun (exalted in leo0 . We may still feel the structural disruption with Saturn in Aries in conflict to Mercury in cardinal Cancer except now more devastating limitations and enforced boundaries won't  hold our collective soul's evolutionary path from forging ahead. 

Galactic Chart for the Cancer New Moon with a backdrop of Fixed Stars, Dwarf Planets and Deep Space Points 

Here with the second chart :  we have the same ascendant @ 10 Gemini 49  with fixed star Aldebaran conjunct the Part of Fortune  and Mars.  Figuring prominently is the Royal Star, Aldebaran, the Watcher of the East with Archangel Michael.  In exact opposition on the Descendant/7th House cusp is the Royal Star Antares, Archangel Uriel and  the Antares Stargate.  

A major piece of this puzzle is the asteroid Atlantis tightly hugging the Part of Fortune at ten degrees of Gemini, also tucked away in your twelfth house. Atlantis acts as a karmic wildcard, carrying memories of advanced ancient technology, sudden downfalls, and the abuse of power.

Because it is fused with this chart's  Part of Fortune—the point of natural luck, joy, and alignment—your greatest local success comes from unlocking these hidden, subconscious vaults. This configuration suggests that your greatest treasures are found by exploring the esoteric, researching ancient wisdom, and mastering the psychological shadows that others are too afraid to gaze upon. 

New moons in TTTT

  TTT

Water signs like Cancer operate more from the inner world. They may be highly subjective, introverted, and emotionally intuitive, often unaware of how their energy affects others. There is a strong emphasis on inner/spiritual  growth. This  new moon is all about spiritual initiations and 

 starting, envisioning, and embodying fresh energy.  looking at the chart  above we see that  the Sun/Moon are in the 3rd house of communication, neighborhoods, relatives and conjunct the twins Castor and Pollux the heart of the Gemini Constellation.  

Castor was reknowed as a horseman, expressed a sharp  intellect, was said to bring  success in law and many travels, sudden fame and honor but often followed by loss of fortune and disgrace, sickness...of these two siblings pollux was the immortal one as being son of Zeus. Pollux, also called Hercules, in the Twins, has a strongly felt Martian nature and has the name ‘the wicked boy’ of the brother-and-sister part of Castor and Pollux.  

The Sun and Moon are TSQ Acamar @ 23 Aries in the constellation Eridanus  and both Spica @ 24 Libra in the Virgo constellation along with the bright star Arcturus conjunct @ 24 Li in the Bootes constellation.  This  alignmnet speaks of humanity's coming shift whebra re contact with the Galactic Community guided by the Arcturians. Acamar sits in the 11th house  of community near Vesta and Pallas in Aries inviting us  to  focus  with strategic plans for a more gifted and sharing collective especially  with the TSQ to Spica which represents honors and special abilities.  

Getting Intense on the IC of this chart @ Leo 12 degrees 46 minutes conjunct the Fixed Star Acubens star system in the left claw of the Crab, in the Cancer Constellation. Acubens, the main star of Cancer, in The Scissors of the Crab, has a Martian nature, and a strong blending in of Saturnian influence, conveying an unbalanced and jumpy nature. If the cosmogram is a disharmonious one to people affected by it, and especially if Acubens is conjunction Mars, Sun or Uranus, this makes for an unsettled mentality and helplessness. 

 In this case be aware since Acubens is  trine the Great Attractor @ 14 Sagittarius.  

The core structure of this local energy is a tense T-Square grid holding down your most personal angles. Menkar, sitting in Taurus, represents a primal, heavy beastly force that can trigger fears of loss or feeling swallowed up by life's difficulties. It is locked in a direct clash with Alphecca in Scorpio, a star of hidden treasures, secret knowledge, and poetic justice that demands you face your deepest psychological shadow.

This heavy tug-of-war directly slams into your IC in Leo, the absolute root of your local and family environment, home life, and foundational sense of safety. Compounding this pressure at the IC is Acubens, a star in the crab's claws known for its protective but fiercely sharp nature. locally, this means a total upheaval of comfort zones. Your home, family life, or physical living space becomes the staging ground for a major test of spirit. You are being forced to stop hiding behind outer pride and instead build an unbreakable, authentic internal security system.

Add that the MC (Medium Coeli - Latin for Middle of the Sky), Midheaven @ 12 Aquarius  46. 

The unexpected frequencies of the hidden will be revealed amid shock and surprise. Aquarius at the MC relates computers, data centers with the  current controversy over a proposed $5.1 Billion data center  called "Oakline at Mill Creek" by Verrus at the Mill Creek Corporate Center. It has ignited a fierce local debate over the economic benefits of AI infrastructure versus its strain on natural resources, local power grids, and community involvement. 

Alighnments to this public house. 

An opposition (180 degrees) to Fixed star Acubens, Squares to  Acrux (the  Southern Cross), And  as before 90 degree challening angles  to   Andromeda Almach  @ 14 degrees Taurus and a square to Cetus Menkar at 14 degrees Taurus. Note in the famous myth of Perseus and Andromeda, Cetus is the aquatic beast sent by the gods to punish Andromeda's mother for her vanity, before Perseus steps in to rescue and save Andromeda. Getting deeper into myth which correlates with the channeling:

 Cetus resides in the "celestial sea" of the night sky alongside constellations like Pisces and Aquarius. In traditional astrology (dating back to Ptolemy), stars in Cetus are associated with the nature of Saturn. It is heavily tied to the mystery of the deep sea, unconscious forces, collective grief, and primal instincts

Vivian Robson says: Menkar is associated with major challenges that test the spirit.

More importantly this chart has the  Sun and Moon  opposing fixed stars  M-57 Ring Nebula and Lyra Sulaphat on the cusp of the 9th House.   M-57 Ring Nebula is a reference to our galactic heritage along with the connection to music and sound. M57 is the remnants of the destroyed homeworld of humanoid races in the Lyra constellation. This alignment speaks volume about how our evolutionary jumpstart will involve sound and light language.  Here is   the domain of the lyre or harp  marked by the fifth-brightest star in the sky, Vega.  Here there is a direct reference to the   lyre of the great musician Orpheus, whose venture into the Underworld is one of the most famous of Greek stories. It was the first lyre ever made, having been invented by Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia (one of the Pleiades). 

The Destiny Midpoint: Cosmic Flow and Deep Clearing

Over in your sector of destiny, the cosmic current is moving through Pisces. You have Deneb Adige, the bright star of the Swan representing pure creative and spiritual genius, blending perfectly with the icy dwarf planet Gonggong at six degrees of Pisces. This combination creates a flood of intense emotional truth and spiritual clearing.

This powerhouse duo sits right near the North Node at zero degrees of Pisces, showing that your ultimate destiny requires you to surrender to a higher spiritual flow. Exactly in the middle of this path, at four degrees of Pisces, sits the legendary watcher star Fomalhaut. Fomalhaut brings immense spiritual magic and high ideals, but it acts like a double-edged sword; it demands absolute personal integrity. Locally, this energy manifests as a profound psychic awakening. It grants you the ability to channel immense artistic or mystical insight, provided you stay completely honest with yourself.

post script and update! - Be aware  that  there  will be rampant attempts by the Synthetic  Progenitors of the Future to control even the Night Sky. From SpaceWeather :

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BAD IDEA: Since SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019, astronomers have grown increasingly concerned. It's almost impossible now to take a deep-sky image without satellite streaks in the background. The megaconstellation numbers nearly 11,000 functioning satellites, and SpaceX launched another 1,589 during the first half of 2026 alone.

Soon, Starlink may be the least of their worries.

Mars/Uranus/Atlantis/DNA and Sedna conjunction in Gemini the Fires of Awakening

 

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, galactic travelers, seekers of a new consciousness.... 

 Today we have a Mars/Uranus conjunction which happens every two years but in Gemini every 84 years. Here are some historical periods when they are conjunct in Gemini: during  thehe Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the period spanning World War II and the start of the Cold War.  There is also the  potential for large earthquakes to  strike along  with volcanic eruptions happening suddenly. 

When these two planets get together there is a fiery quality and in air signs, the fuse is lit. Typically means that we all need to guard against careless action. The possibility of sudden outbursts and accidents are omnipresent. With Gemini in the driver's seat everything is accelerated, words are weapons and with Mercury retrograde in Cancer emotions can fester. In Cancer, Mercury is slower to express those deeper wounds in words but with Mars rushing toward a meeting with Uranus, awakener of the unexpected this is a time of explosions. Per example on July 2nd. with Mars applying to a conjunction with Uranus, a Tibetan activist died on Thursday after setting himself on fire outside the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The man, who was an Uber driver (Gemini relates to  all forms of transportation), was carrying a Tibetan flag during the incident. Mercury in Cancer  is  superficially about patriotism, nationalism, protection of one's family.  

 The Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini peaking on July 3rd and 4th, 2026, is a high-octane cosmic lightning strike triggering radical, irreversible shifts in how humanity thinks, communicates, and processes information. Keywords defining this alignment include shattering breakthroughs, volatile truths, sudden liberation, cellular awakening, frantic data, and collective rewiring. This cosmic event is exceptionally potent because it aligns near the transpersonal deep-space body Seedna and Asteroid DNA, elevating a standard chaotic transit into a profound evolutionaryd moment that feels coded directly into our collective blueprints and evolutionary destiny.  The Inuit Goddess Sedna asks us to release, let go and surrender our baggage and accept our  soul's destiny.  In close contact to the Mars, Uranus meeting is the asteroid Atlantis which symbolizes the advanced technology from that ancient civilization which we were  never  able to come to grips  and has returned.  

Adding fuel to this electric fire, Gemini's ruling planet, Mercury, is now retrograde in sensitive Cancer. Instead of processing this hyper-speed Gemini data with cool, detached logic, Mercury's retrograde state forces a deep, internal, and highly emotional review of past narratives, hidden motives, and ancient vulnerabilities. This creates a tense paradox where the external world screams for frantic, immediate action while our cosmic instructions demand we slow down, feel our way through the noise, and heal old emotional wounds before hitting send. Keywords for this retrograde influence include nostalgic detours, intuitive backtracking, protective boundaries, and exposing unspoken undercurrents.

Below is a chart set for July 4, 2026 @ 2:08 AM in Washington, DC. with fixed Taurus rising  at  12 degrees  with this Sabian Symbol for 13 Taurus: A porter carrying a  mountain of heavy baggage. Lynda Hill  says this Sabian implies someone who tends to carry the load for others. They often feel responsible for everyone and everything. Busy with peoples’ problems, not working on your own. Not knowing when to say “no”. Bearing family guilt.  Rudhyar's keynote says this represents Self-mobilization  for social change. The Sabian Symbol for the primary conjunction of Mars/Uranus/Atlantis is 4  Gemini intercepted in the first house  of identity which equals: Holy and  mistletoe bring Christmas spirit to a home. This Sabian of course relates on one level  to social celebrations of the spirit. The fundamentals of belonging. Celebrations of family and friends. The value of community. On a much deeper level  with  these planets in a trine  to Pluto in Aquarius and minor trine to  Neptune in Aries we are talking about a galactic upgrade. 

For individuals with planets or angles at  3 to 4 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces), this transit acts as an intense cosmic trigger. Gemini experiences a shocking personal rebirth and an urgent need to break free from self-imposed mental prisons, though they must guard against extreme nervous burnout. Virgo faces sudden disruptions and sudden pivots in their career, public standing, or daily health systems, forcing them to surrender strict control. Sagittarius encounters abrupt fractures or sudden awakenings within close relationships, altering how they balance independence with partnership. Pisces feels the shockwave at the very base of their chart, triggering sudden home, family, or domestic realignments that shake their foundational sense of security.

Meanwhile, the other air signs @ 3 to 4 degrees, Aquarius and Libra, receive a highly supportive, electric flow of energy from this conjunction, channeling the chaos into innovative creative output, sudden conceptual breakthroughs, and a liberating release from outdated social circles. 

The Fire Sign: Aries

Keywords: Impulsive Statements, Local Disruptions, Mind Overloads, Courageous Speeches, Fast Travel

As a cardinal fire sign, Aries finds their mental landscape totally hyper-charged by this air-fueled combustion. This conjunction activates your sector of communication, siblings, and local travel, making you incredibly outspoken and fiercely brave, but highly prone to impulsive arguments and speaking before you think. Concurrently, your ruler Mars is pushing you to move fast, but with Mercury retrograde challenging your domestic sector, you must slow down to avoid burnout and keep your fiery temper in check.

For Fire Sign: Leo 

The electrifying cosmic alignment of Mars, Uranus, Atlantis, and Sedna in Gemini strikes a highly supportive chord for Leo, activating your 11th House of community, networks, aspirations, and social groups. As a fire sign, this high-velocity air placement fans your personal flames, bringing a sudden surge of inspiration, radical collaborative opportunities, and a total overhaul of your social circle. 

The Mercury Retrograde Twist for Leo

Keywords: Introspective Pauses, Hidden Motives, Behind the Scenes Healing, Reevaluating Trust

While the Mars-Uranus engine wants you to launch into the future with your new network, the ruler of this transit, Mercury, is retrograde in Cancer, lighting up your 12th House of the subconscious, secrets, and endings. This creates a fascinating paradox for you.

On the surface, your social life and future goals are loud, fast, and electric. Yet internally, your mind is being pulled into a deeply private, reflective space. You might experience sudden insights about who your true friends are, or old acquaintances might reappear from the past to resolve lingering business. Mercury retrograde here warns you not to rush blindly into new alliances. Use this quiet, intuitive energy to vet the people entering your circle, ensuring their emotional intentions match their flashy exterior. 

For humanity as a whole, this plays out in very simple terms as a massive, turbulent upgrade to our collective nervous system. We can expect sudden, shocking media announcements, major disruptions or breakthroughs in global technology and AI systems, and localized transport or communication grid overloads. The combination of Sedna and Asteroid DNA indicates that hidden genetic truths, historical secrets, and buried human history are being forcefully exposed. Ultimately, this cosmic flashpoint is here to wake us up, cut through ancestral illusions, and liberate our minds, proving that the old ways of speaking and connecting are officially obsolete. 

The Deep Coding: Atlantis and Sedna

Keywords: Ancient Power Restorations, Shadow Group Dynamics, Reclaiming Authority, Transcending Betrayal

The addition of Atlantis and Sedna to this mix introduces a profound, almost fated undercurrent to your social life. Atlantis represents high technology, ancient wisdom, but also the shadow side of power abuses and hubris. You may find yourself involved in cutting-edge group projects, perhaps dealing with internet technology, astrology, or humanitarian efforts, but you must watch out for power struggles within these organizations.

Sedna, representing deep evolutionary truths born from betrayal and isolation, suggests you are clearing out ancient, karmic patterns regarding how you fit into a group. If you have historically dimmed your Leo light to make others comfortable, or if you have felt exiled by your peers in the past, this transit allows you to completely rewrite that cellular coding. You are stepping into your true sovereignty, refusing to compromise your individuality just to belong.

Barbault's Basket Part One: Lift Off 2026

 

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, cosmic travelers, seekers of a new consciousness....

You may have heard about André Barbault, the renowned French astrologer, who forecasted that 2026 would be a massive historical turning point. Perhaps you are seeing numerous astrologers telling you what will occur this month or over the  next two years.  Nobody even Andre, are able to clearly forcast the  results. Andre predicted a "new great phase of technological growth" driven by outer planets, culminating in a rare "basket" planetary alignment in July 2026, which he believed would spark a profound socio-cultural reset and break the old order. From the perspective of modern evolutionary astrology, Barbault's Basket is considered a rare concentration of planetary energy. The idea, developed by astrologer André Barbault, is that when the slower-moving planets gather within roughly one-third of the zodiac, humanity enters a period where history seems to accelerate. Old systems become unstable, new ideas emerge rapidly, and events that normally unfold over decades can happen within just a few years. It does not predict one specific event, but it symbolizes a period when collective evolution speeds up. In my opinion Andre's description is in the ballpark. 

Barbault identified that the slow-moving outer planets (Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) would cluster into a specific, rare geometric shape in the zodiac. The pattern, peaking around July 19–21, features Jupiter in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius, while sextiling Neptune in Aries and trining Uranus in Gemini. Just like the Neptune/Saturn conjunct in zero point Aries back on February 20, 2026, this "Basket " configuration has  no  precendent in history.  

The July 17 to July 22 alignments he described are remarkable because the major outer planets are not simply clustered—they are also making harmonious aspects to one another. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all sitting around 4 degrees of their respective signs creates what many astrologers would call a "blueprint for evolutionary change."

Uranus trine Pluto suggests revolutionary change that doesn't have to come through destruction. Uranus represents awakening, innovation, technology, and freedom. Pluto represents deep transformation, hidden power, and evolution. A trine between them suggests humanity is given an opportunity to reinvent itself instead of merely surviving collapse. Technologies, new forms of communication, artificial intelligence, space exploration, medicine, and our understanding of consciousness could all make enormous leaps forward.

Neptune sextile Pluto adds another layer. Neptune dissolves old beliefs and opens spiritual awareness, while Pluto transforms consciousness from the roots upward. Together they often coincide with humanity becoming interested in mystical subjects, intuition, the occult,  psychic abilities and as we are seeing the farthest reaches of our  own galaxy and beyond. 

Looking back into  the most recent  cycle  of Pluto and  Uranus, we see it  opened in 1965–66 conjunction in Virgo when the Summer of Love occurred. Now the   waxing trine arrives from 2026 to 2028: Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius.  We have two high blying  air signs, conspiring in harmony. Is this conspiratorial partnership is about changing the  world as we know it. 

The exact trine this July 17 @ 9:45 PM PDT or July 18 @ 12:45 AM EDT occurs @ 4 degrees 29 minutes of  each sign Gemini and  Pluto respectively and this is  just the  beginning.

Another trine occurs  on November 29, 2026 with Uranus @ 3 degrees Gemini Retrograde and Pluto @ 3  degrees Aquarius Retrograde 

Then on June 15, 2027 with Uranus @ 6 degrees Gemini direct and Pluto @ 6 degrees of Aquarius  Retrograde.

Then on January 13, 2028 with Uranus  @ 6 degrees Gemini  Retro and  Pluto @ 6 degrees Aquarius Retro. 

And finally on May 9 - 10, 2028 with Uranus  @ 8 - 9  degrees Gemini  and Pluto  @ 8 - 9 degrees Aquarius  direct.  

Before I continue to  unravel the ramifications of Barbault's Basket in Part  Two,  we  will  look at  the  Mars/Uranus conjunction which also takes place near  the Dwarf Planet Sedna and Asteroid DNA on July 3/July 4.   Note that  the first octave ruler of Gemini, Mercury is  retrograde till July 23rd in the highly emotional, cardinal sign Cancer.
