This week the seeds of a New Paradigm are being born. These are the times of Prophecy.
This is why we all chose to be here at this time.
Over the past week, four of the most powerful Planets in our Solar System have been moving into an extremely rare geometric alignment at exactly 4° of their respective Signs. Astrologers call this configuration the Barbault Basket: Neptune at 4° Aries, Uranus at 4° Gemini, Pluto at 4° Aquarius & Jupiter at 4° Leo, all forming a precise pattern that resembles a basket when drawn in the sky.
When the Outer Planets come together to have conversations like this, it is as if the tectonic plates of our reality begin to shift. And this time, it is shifting in a good way. (phew!)
The last time all four of these outer Planets aligned this closely was the 1960s. We are in a once in a generation moment. It is not a coincidence that you are here for it.
The exact aspects:
- Uranus sextile Neptune: July 15th at 4°23′
- Uranus trine Pluto: July 17th-18th at 4°29′ (exact today)
- Jupiter trine Neptune: July 20th
- Jupiter opposite Pluto: July 20th
- Jupiter sextile Uranus: July 21st
All of these are positive, supportive alignments – with the one caveat being Jupiter opposing Leo. This is a hard aspect, but it’s actually serving as the ignition switch for the entire alignment….
What is Actually Happening
To understand what this alignment is here to do, I want to introduce you to the four Players & what they represent in the deeper cosmological story we are all living through right now.
Neptune in Aries: The Lemurian Connection
To me, Neptune represents the great Lemurian civilization, the most ancient heart-centered, feminine, feeling civilization that humanity has ever known. Lemuria was deeply connected to the Earth, to water, to each other & to the invisible realms of sound, dreams & feeling. From 2017-2024 I ran a school called the Lemurian School of Remembering, that helped people to remember their past lives from Lemuria, and bring forward their gifts to help Humanity move through this time of shift. So this is an energy I’m deeply familiar with).
Neptune in Aries has been giving us the passion, drive & motivation to take inspired action moving forward in the direction of our dreams. We are being asked to become the Spiritual Warriors to bring forth the vision of Unity Consciousness for Humanity. The catch is that this vision for Unity is not one where everyone gets along because we are all the same. True Unity Consciousness is the acceptance & celebration of everyone’s uniqueness, no matter how different it may be from our own.
This is how we lived in the civilization of Lemuria.
Neptune also rules sound healing, and there is no coincidence in the fact that Edgar Cayce said Sound is the Medicine of the Future. If you think Sound Healing is big now, just wait & see what happens as Neptune moves through Aries. The Lemurian frequency of healing through sound is returning.
Neptune is also working with water in a very specific & profound way right now. Water is our most ancient ancestor. All of the water that is here is all of the water that has ever been here, from the very beginning of time. The water in the air around us, the water in our bodies, the water in the ocean. It has all witnessed the rise & fall of every civilization that has ever walked this Earth, including Lemuria & Atlantis. Water carries an ancient consciousness within it. And right now, Neptune is changing the way we think about water, the way we communicate into the water matrix & the way we work with water as one of our greatest allies in navigating this extraordinary time of shift.
Uranus in Gemini: The Atlantis Connection
Uranus in Gemini has been revolutionizing our minds, the way we speak & perceive reality. We are being asked to change the way we see things & lean into innovative new ways of thinking & communicating. As I wrote in my Uranus in Gemini article, the revolution in technology is already here. The revolution in consciousness is what is coming.
This is the energy of Atlantis. As a collective, we have forgotten what happened during that time: the obsession with power & the experiments that led to The Fall. So now we are playing out that same drama again, confronting many similar choice points as we did at that time.
This time we have to be willing to see things differently.
Your thoughts are not just thoughts. They are instructions to the Universe. The greatest upgrade available to you right now is not in your phone. It is in your mind.
Uranus in Gemini is also changing the way we think about water & communicate into the water matrix. The Atlantean gift was always the capacity to work with subtle energies through the mind. That gift is returning this time for the benefit of all beings – if we follow our hearts.
Jupiter in Leo: The Ignition Switch.
Without Jupiter, this would be a beautiful but background energy, a gentle cosmic invitation that most people would never feel. Jupiter changes everything.
In Leo, Jupiter is expanding creativity, confidence, joy, self-expression & visibility. And positioned at 4° Leo in an opposition to Pluto & in harmonious aspects to both Neptune & Uranus, Jupiter is the trigger that activates the entire configuration. The basket does not open without him.
Your joyful, playful, creative expression is the activation code.
Making time for play in your life. Creating just because it brings you alive. Letting yourself shine in whatever way is most authentically yours. This is not frivolous. This is the key that unlocks the release of everything Pluto has been liberating, everything Uranus has been awakening & everything Neptune has been dreaming into being.
The more fully & freely you express your creative gifts, the more you activate the positive energy in this basket alignment.
Do the damn thing. 👑
THE Ancient Rift is Healing
In Lemuria, we lived in a way that most of us can only feel as a distant memory now, a longing that lives somewhere between the heart & the body that is hard to put into words. We lived in deep communion with the Earth, with water, with each other & with the cosmos. We communicated through feeling, through sound, through the water that moved between us & through us. We healed each other through our voices, through our hands, through our presence. We knew, without needing to be told, that every being was sacred. That every unique expression of consciousness was a gift to the whole. That the Earth herself was alive & listening & responding to us in every moment.
There was no separation between the spiritual & the everyday. The water you drank carried prayers. The sound you made carried healing. The body you inhabited was a sacred instrument of the Divine, not something to be controlled or transcended but something to be loved. Children belonged to the whole community, not just their mothers. Gifts were shared freely because there was no concept of withholding what you carried from those who needed it. The celebration of each other’s uniqueness was not a value to aspire to. It was simply how things were.
This is how we lived in the civilization of Lemuria.
The reason there is so much resonance in the field with Lemuria & Atlantis right now is because we are confronting some of the same choice points we confronted during the time of the fall of Atlantis. The same tensions between technology & soul, between mind & heart, between the drive to innovate & the need to feel. The same questions about power, about authenticity, about whether it is safe to be seen.
The Lemurian consciousness has returned to help Humanity choose differently this time.
To me, Uranus is Atlantis & Neptune is Lemuria. These two Planets represent the most ancient rift in our known history. The original split between mind & heart, between technology & soul, between the masculine & the feminine. The story of that rift is written into our cells, into the water of our bodies, into the field of collective memory that water itself carries.
And in this basket, for the first time in over 60 years, Uranus & Neptune are forming a harmonious sextile. Not in conflict. Not in crisis. In creative potential & possibility.
The rift is healing.
The two sides of ourselves, the brilliant Atlantean mind & the open Lemurian heart, the revolutionary & the dreamer, are beginning to find their way back to each other. And the way they are finding each other is through us. Through our willingness to be both: to think brilliantly & feel deeply, to innovate & to love, to be radically, authentically, individually ourselves while simultaneously holding the vision of a humanity that celebrates each other’s uniqueness rather than fearing it.
True unity is not homogenization. True unity is not everyone being the same & getting along. True unity is the acceptance & celebration of our individuality & our uniqueness. Needing others to be a certain way in order for you to feel safe is dying. Empowering others to be their most unique selves & to shine the light of their Lemurian & Atlantean gifts is what is creating the new reality of unity consciousness.
You have to love the people in your life for being different.
That is the revolution
The Water Matrix
Water is our most ancient ancestor & one of our greatest allies right now.
All of the water that exists on this Earth has always been here, since the very beginning of time. The water in the air around you, the water in your body, the water in the ocean. It has all witnessed every civilization that has ever risen & fallen. It carries the memory of Lemuria. It carries the memory of Atlantis. It carries the memory of the rift & the longing for healing.
When you work with water consciously right now, you are working with the most ancient intelligence on the planet. Drink water with intention. Bathe in it with awareness. Speak your prayers into it. Let it carry your intentions into the field. Let it carry back to you whatever healing it has been holding in trust since the last time we were at a moment like this one.
The water remembers. And it is ready to help.
If Sound Healing is calling you right now, trust that call completely. Neptune activating the water matrix through the sound frequency is one of the most extraordinary gifts of this basket. Edgar Cayce said Sound is the Medicine of the Future.
What This Means for You
We are at a threshold. Not a beginning & not an ending, but a threshold where the old reality & the new reality are both present simultaneously & the choice of which one to inhabit is more available than it has ever been.
The old reality says: it is safer to stay small. To conform. To hold your most unique, magical self back from the world. To dim your light so others feel comfortable. To let the fear of what happened in other lifetimes govern what you allow yourself to express in this one.
The new reality says: your gifts are needed now more than ever. The world cannot afford for you to stay small. The evolution of Humanity depends on each of us having the courage to be fully, completely, unapologetically ourselves. The Lemurian & Atlantean gifts you carry in your cells, in your mind, in your voice, in your hands are not accidents. They are the exact medicine this moment requires.
New gifts from Atlantis: the revolution of the mind, the capacity to think in new ways, to communicate new ideas, to use technology in service of consciousness rather than in opposition to it.
New gifts from Lemuria: the capacity to feel deeply, to heal through sound & water & presence, to hold the vision of unity not as an idea but as a felt reality in the body.
Bring them both. The world needs both.
THE BARBAULT BASKET RISING SIGN FORECASTS

My prayer for us during this extraordinary alignment
May we have the courage to be both Lemurian & Atlantean. Both feeling & thinking. Both dreaming & building. May the water carry our prayers into the field & carry back to us the ancient memory of who we truly are. May the rift that has lived in our cells since the fall of the great civilizations finally, permanently heal. May we discover that our most unique, authentic, magical, weird, brilliant self is not a liability to the collective but the exact gift it has always been waiting for. And may we love each other’s differences with the fierce & reverent love of those who finally understand that true unity was always made of a beautiful alignment of many different, weird, magical individuals shining their light & letting their magic out in thier own unique ways. And that this was always what was best for everyone in the end.
