A cheerful prediction from the renowned French astrologer the late Andre Barbault about a basket of good fortune approaching this July.
The new-era Pluto in Aquarius trine Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries, all at four degrees, will be embraced by Jupiter at 4 degrees Leo to form a lucky Half Grand Sextile around the 20th July.
He predicted the 2020 pandemic as a cyclical low and regarded the 2026 Saturn-Neptune conjunction as a reflowering, with the late-July 2026 basket configuration as its crescendo.
According to Barbault, nine whole “ascending planetary cycles” – as he refers to them – will occur concurrently in 2026, ushering in a new “Golden Era” for humanity with societies becoming more humanistic and poverty contained.
He did have a particularly rosy view of this time – “The peculiarity of the turning point of 2026-2030 is represented by the centrality of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at the beginning of Aries… Nucleus of convergence of the verb Neptunian, vital priority reinforced by the concurrence of deep Saturnian foundations… 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.”
His record in prediction is good, pointing to the crises of the communist regimes in 1989-1990 and the rapid ascent of China and of other Asian countries between 2010 and 2025.
I am not familiar with his cycle theory and while the new age of enlightenment and humanitarianism seems like a distant dream at the moment – we can always travel hopefully. And the August Solar Eclipse does point to frustrating problems finding a solution and thus reducing tension.
A fun thought in dreary times.
