Everybody celebrates the sky of the century. Nobody looks at who holds its weight.

Everybody speaks about Barbault and the basket.

Nobody asks who holds it.

From the soccer World Cup to France's new law to 1789.

The hierarchy of planetary power in the July sky.

Everybody speaks about Barbault and the basket. Hear me out.

The basket tells you the shape of the sky. It does not tell you who is carrying the weight.

Not every planet speaks with the same volume. The more outer the planet, the more it brings its influence to the less outer one. In the natal chart, a Sun conjunct or square Pluto: the Sun is colored by Pluto. Pluto does not change his color for the Sun.

Same in transits. The more outer, the more potent the impact. And hard aspects speak louder in predictive work than trines. And especially than sextiles, that are subtle helpers.

This is why I don't read this basket like the others. I read it through the hierarchy of planetary power. Pluto is the biggest guy here. The most powerful. The most outer. Within all the planets, Pluto has the last word.

The Main Chorus

In the basket shape we have now, the opposition is the main chorus. Pluto in Aquarius. Jupiter in Leo. The T-square to Chiron is in it too, even in a larger orb.

Jupiter expands the good and the bad. Power in all its grandiosity, exposed. Corruption. The kings facing the power of the people, and where the power got out of the law. Aquarius in evolutionary astrology stands also for criminality, the out of the norm, the outside of the rules.

The death of Lindsey. The fall of Mitch. Both with placements on this fixed sign axis, around 4 degrees.

The sextiles and trines of Uranus and Neptune are the background choirs.

They are not speaking above the opposition. They are bringing energy to it.

The basket looks harmonious?

This is because you are not paying attention to the hierarchy of planetary power playing here. You need to see first who dominates the geometry, and how.

Who holds the weight here and who creates History, now:

Pluto.

We Saw it in Soccer

I studied all the players' charts of the last games. And the countries' charts. The winners had placements on the Pluto side. Each time.

Messi, rising at 4° Aquarius. Spain too, and yes, we have a birth time for the Spain chart. English players, heavy in Leo under Jupiter, and England in its Jupiter return:

They lost.

Look at France

Natal Jupiter at 5° Scorpio, in T-square to this opposition.

The law on sexual violence is being rewritten now.

The imprescriptibility for sexual violence on minors is becoming a LAW. I predicted it would happen before the end of the Pluto square to France's natal Jupiter. It came sooner than I thought, thanks to Jupiter forming the T-square. AMEN!!

1789

The French Revolution happened under Pluto in Aquarius opposing Jupiter in Leo, July 1789. The Nodes square, on the Taurus-Scorpio axis. The French Revolution. We the People: the United States Constitution coming into effect. The power coming back to the people, away from the kings. Same story in France and the USA. Pluto wins over the Leo kings.

In one Pluto sign, Jupiter opposes twice, as Jupiter has a 12-year cycle. The next round comes in twelve years. Pluto deeper in Aquarius, closer to the revolution degrees. This round is the window into it.

Expect events in the collective to build up toward it. More excessive power in the hands of the kings.

Will the Basket Bring Gracious Change?

Will the trines and sextiles bring gracious change right now? I don't believe it.

The kings above the law do not give away their power out of a sudden awakening. They will need to be forced to it. Like 1789.

This does not speak subtle sextile in the sky, or basket shape. It speaks a long journey of Pluto in Aquarius coming to face Jupiter in Leo for the second time. And now we are on the first round of this history.

And already, look at France. History is changing.

Your Chart in This

If you have placements around 3 to 5° of the fixed signs, especially on the Taurus-Scorpio axis, you are standing on this grand cross now. This is the story.

Don't stop at the shape. Ask who holds the weight.

Because you must feel the pressure building....as I do with my natal Mercury at 5° Leo.

In Case You Need a Reminder, This Is THE BASKET all the astrology world is talking about now.

On July 19 into 20, four heavyweights lock at the same degree. Jupiter 4° Leo. Pluto 4° Aquarius. Neptune 4° Aries. Uranus 4° Gemini.

The opposition between Jupiter and Pluto is the base. Uranus and Neptune weave the handle by trines and sextiles. Chiron, the wound, sits at the pivot, forming a T-square to Jupiter and Pluto. This is the basket. The whole sky braided into one structure.

André Barbault, the mundane master I sat with in France, saw this window coming. He read the 2026 sky as the most benefic configuration of the century. Not the end of the world. The end of an order. He named 2025 to 2030 the best period of the century. A relaunch of civilization.

The basket is where the old breaks and the new is born. We have four more years to prove it.
