Today’s aspects:

Today at 1:32 p.m. Pacific, revolutionary Uranus makes a harmonious aspect to spiritually transcendent Neptune. This can bring magic or miracle — transcendence, revolutionary innovation, technological breakthrough, maybe even accomplishing the impossible. Futurism and intellect integrate with spirituality and intuition, so pay attention to your dreams. Now, display some compassion: the choices with which we’re faced and the incoming information are brimming with undreamed-of possibilities.

This transit ensures that somehow, some way, the onerous difficulties of the last weeks and months may become that much easier to handle, manage, or even to cope with. A sextile is all about potential, yet it needs to be activated. Do your footwork: get the key, light the match, spark the ignition.

Neptune, early in Aries yet retrograde, will help you focus inwardly on the most important pieces of the puzzle you’ve been attempting to put together — a new goal, a new process, perhaps a new paradigm. Today you can see through the illusion, the deception, the occultation. Even with Mercury fully retrograde, Uranian clarity knows exactly what needs to be done — at lightning speed, or with a lightning strike — in order to accomplish what must be done.

The sextile is part of a larger configuration spanning the whole month of July 2026 and affecting the years to come. Jupiter/Pluto, now applying as a transit, will form a trine to the Uranus–Neptune sextile — a rare and extremely significant pattern building as we write this column. It’s part of the “cradle” or “basket” configuration named after André Barbault, the famous French predictive astrologer who predicted miraculous shifts and changes, and what dreams may come, for 2026 and 2027. It peaks on 20 July this month.

The significance? Today’s Leo Moon — fiery, passionate, comfortable with Jupiter also in Leo — can bring unexpected good fortune, a financial windfall, or good business news, and Lord knows we need some today. We get a peek at just what Barbault’s basket may have in store for us: a moment of pride, creation, innovation, and acceleration, along with revelation and some relief.

These next few weeks are the time when dreams can manifest as reality. The Jupiter/Pluto opposition may bring some stress or a perception of loss — but loss, however it may arrive, is always that which can get you right out of self and into action.

Let’s see what unfolds.
