One of the most significant astrological events of the century is happening this July 20, 2026, predicted by French astrologer André Barbault. He is a respected astrologer known for long-term cycle analysis and accurate predictions that are identified decades in advance, like the Soviet collapse and 2020’s pandemic.
The astrological alignment is a rare geometric pattern shaped like a cradle or basket 🧺 that involves the outer planets aligning harmoniously in a contained, supportive network of sextiles and trines. On the top of the arrangement, like a lid, is a Jupiter-Pluto opposition that can hold and channel transformative energy. This formation has been named Barbault’s Basket. I enjoy thinking of the pattern as a Mystical Hammock cradled by Spirit.
André viewed it as the most beautiful and auspicious outer-planet configuration of the 21st century, signaling the end of depressive crisis cycles, and a “splendid relaunch of civilization.” It contrasts with the heavy 2020 alignments, pointing to an ascending upward progression and a new era of possibility.
Four Planets are at exact 4° alignment, which adds stability and foundation. (Number 4 represents stabilization and structure.)
1 Jupiter at 4° Leo – expansion, creativity, leadership, optimism.
2 Pluto at 4° Aquarius – opposing Jupiter: transformation, power shifts, technology/society restructuring, collective empowerment.
3 Neptune at 4° Aries – trine to Jupiter: inspired action, spiritual/idealistic renewal, new visions.
4 Uranus at 4° Gemini – sextiles/trines: rapid innovation, communication breakthroughs, intellectual/air-sign disruption and progress.
And Saturn (around 14° Aries) participates somewhat, adding structure and realism.
Some astrologers, however, note the alignment may accelerate whatever is invested in (positive or challenging), and real-world outcomes depend on human choices, not an automatic march toward utopia. A second related basket in 2027 may extend the process.
As a seasoned intuitive and Aquarian, the interpretation that speaks to me most is that it is a harmonious yet dynamic realignment of collective energies that closes a turbulent chapter and opens a more constructive, innovative, and hopeful era. It is a relaunch, emphasizing creativity, technology, inspired action, and societal transformation.with potential for flourishing equity, cultural renaissance, and stabilization.
Does the new era begin this day? Within a week? A month? A decade? We shall see!

Your relationship with your Higher Self is one that mirrors the depth and devotion you share with a beloved partner. Just as true partnership calls for harmony and respect between two souls, your inner bond requires the same devotion. The Higher Self holds the wisdom, clarity, and truth of who you really are. It is not meant to be overshadowed or suffocated by the tangles of fear, doubt, or the expectations of others. Like the ivy plant that wraps itself around everything it touches, be mindful not to let old patterns or outside influences choke out the voice of your spirit. Instead, cultivate interdependence within. Surrender to the guidance of your Higher Self while cherishing the freedom and desires of your human experience, creating balance.
Blend into the spiritually uplifting and powerfully sacred vibration within and around you. You can experience heightened senses and feelings in its higher vibrational flow which are loving and heart-centered. You feel at one with all and your compassion is limitless. You feel more intuitive, creative, and beautiful. You see the beauty in all things and all others. It’s sweet and wonderful to bask in the glow.

We are often asked throughout our lives, “What do you do?” For me the answer is deep, so I choose to say, “I am a Spiritual Counselor/Teacher and Energy Healer” and skip the long, reflective explanation. But today I choose to answer with more details. I have recently been blessed with an epiphany that I am loved even more than I realized! That realization has led to an awakening of greater love for my soul journey and purpose. It gives me great joy to summarize it today. What “I do” is both innate and learned in the course of time. Since I was very young I played with and learned from my invisible childhood spirit friends. It took my whole life to recognize their value and purpose in a 3-dimensional world. Understanding the worlds beyond the 3rd dimension of order, rules and drama has been a journey of both deep pain and bliss. I was drawn to the higher dimensions of lights, color and love essence and continue the never-ending quest to understand this BIG LOVE I sensed as a child.
