    A New Beginning As The Digital Revolution Heats Up

    Andre Barbault was perhaps the greatest mundane astrologer of the 20th century. One of if not the only astrologer to accurately predict the 2020 pandemic, Barbault was born in France in 1921. He died in 2019 before he could see his prediction come true. But he also left us with another prediction for 2026, particularly during the basket formation that the outer planets will make mid-July 2026. (Over the next 2 weeks) He theorized that this would be the time when civilizations reorganize themselves. The old world order breaks apart and something new tries to take its place. The New World Order, if you will. He particularly talked about 2026 quite optimistically. Saying that the crisis that originated in 2020 would come to an end. That 2026’s massive collective reset would be the “most beneficial configuration of the century.” I’m as optimistic as the next guy, but no matter how you view the societal transformations that we’re going through, actions speak louder than words. And actions from people like you and me will determine to what extent that July is this major reset and awakening that it can be. Who’s ready to make a little history? ------- Astro Highlights Of The Week: * Monday, July 13th: Venus squares Uranus at 7:26 am PT * Tuesday, July 14th: New Moon at 21° Cancer at 2:43 am PT * Wednesday, July 15th: Uranus sextiles Neptune Rx at 1:59 pm PT * Friday, July 17th: Uranus trines Pluto Rx at 11:04 pm PT * Sunday, July 19th: Mars sextiles Saturn at 11:10 am PT ------- Next week is the Big Kahuna as we will have so so so much to talk about: * Jupiter trines Neptune * Jupiter opposes Pluto * Jupiter sextiles Uranus * Sun enters Leo * Neptune sextiles Pluto * Mercury stations direct * Mercury sextiles Venus * Saturn stations retrograde * North Node enters Aquarius/South Node enters Leo * Sun opposes Pluto ---------- If you feel called to get a 1:1 reading this week, you can schedule that here. In this session, we’ll go through your birth chart together so you can understand why you feel things the way you do, where your real strengths are, and what’s actually been getting in your way. You’ll leave with language for patterns you’ve sensed for years but couldn’t name, and a clearer sense of how to move through your next chapter with confidence and more trust in yourself. See what Jaxon had to say after our first reading together: "I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for an astrology reading.

    America Turns 250. How Explosive Will The Fireworks Be?

    Here we go. The relative June chillness is now gone, and both Monday and July 4th weekend bring us some action-packed astrology. We have 4 astro events happening on Monday, June 29th, including the start of Mercury retrograde, a Capricorn Full Moon, and Jupiter entering Leo. Easily one of the “busiest” days of the whole year, astrologically speaking. Astro Highlights Of The Week: * Monday, June 29th: Mercury stations retrograde at 26° Cancer at 10:35 am PT * Full Moon at 8° Capricorn at 4:56 pm PT * Mars squares the lunar nodes at 9:34 pm PT * Jupiter enters Leo at 10:51 pm PT * Friday, July 3rd: Mars conjoins Uranus at 3° Gemini at 11:05 pm PT * Saturday, July 4th: Mars sextiles Neptune at 5:44 pm PT * Sunday, July 5th: Mars trines Pluto Rx at 6:07 am PT Next Week: Well, we’ve arrived at one of the most historically significant months of the decade and maybe even the century as we enter July 2026.

    Jupiter In Leo: Set Your Heart Ablaze

    My new favorite Leo is Mr. Rengoku from the Demon Slayer anime/manga. His famous words to “set your heart ablaze” speaks to the unbridled passion and sense of creation that in many ways defines Leo’s core strength as an archetype. When Jupiter enters Leo on June 29th, our passions and drive to create get a huge power up. And I can’t sum it up any more perfectly than to set your heart ablaze. "If you are feeling disheartened, that you are somehow not enough, set your heart ablaze. Grit your teeth and look straight ahead. Even if you stop and crouch down, time won't wait for you or snuggle you and grieve along with you." -Kyojuro Rengoku in the Demon Slayer anime/manga Jupiter in Leo Key Dates * Barbault Basket Configuration: * July 20: Jupiter sextiles Uranus at 4 Gemini * July 20: Jupiter trines Neptune Rx at 4 Aries * July 21: Jupiter opposite Pluto Rx at 4 Aquarius * July 29: Jupiter cazimi on an Aquarius Full Moon (6 Leo/Aquarius) * August 31: Jupiter trines Saturn Rx in Aries * November 11: Jupiter conjoins the South Node at 25 Leo * November 15: Mars conjoins Jupiter at 25 Leo * December 1: Jupiter trines Chiron Rx at 26 Aries * December 12: Jupiter stations retrograde at 27 Leo * January 3, 2027: Jupiter Rx trines Chiron Rx at 26 Aries * January 28, 2027: Venus trines Jupiter Rx at 23 Leo * February 10, 2027: Sun opposite Jupiter Rx (2 degrees off the nodes) * February 21, 2027: Mars Rx enters Leo * February 22, 2027: Jupiter Rx conjoins the South Node at 20 Leo * April 1, 2027: Mars stations direct at 20 Leo (South Node at 19 Leo) * April 3, 2027: Jupiter Rx trines Saturn at 17 Aries * April 12, 2027: Jupiter stations direct at 16 Leo * April 23, 2027: Jupiter conjoins the South Node at 17 Leo * May 4, 2027: Venus in Aries trines Jupiter at 17 Leo * May 14, 2027: Mars enters Virgo * July 11, 2027: Jupiter trines Saturn at 27 Aries * July 25, 2027: Jupiter enters Virgo Sign Spotlight: Mars in Leo Famous examples: Michael Jordan, Beyonce, Frank Sinatra Yes, the Leo Jupiter’s will be having their Jupiter return, granting good luck. The Leo Suns will have ample support to step into their full selves. And the Leo Venus’s will have increased luck in romantic affairs. But the Leo Mars people might have the most to celebrate. When Jupiter and Mars get together, the results can be explosive. But both these planets love being in fire signs, and the explosive potential to propel these people into the life and the success that they’ve been working towards is tremendous. Like Jordan’s insane competitive drive, Beyonce’s commanding stage presence, or Sinatra’s confident and smooth grace, Leo Mars people will have the chance to step into true powerhouses this year. The challenge of the Mars retrograde period will be difficult, but ultimately serves as an opportunity for creative breakthrough. Look at what house Leo rules in the birth chart to see the area of life that is most directly affected by this transit. ---- Are you ready for a reading to ensure you make the most of upcoming transits like Jupiter in Leo? 1 reading really does have the ability to change your day, week, year, and even your life. Read what Laurea had to say after getting a reading days before her wedding: "Brandon and I just had a call, I highly recommend his astrology readings. He is kind, patient, understanding, and compassionate. In our appointment today, he blew my mind and absolutely gave me the confidence and hope that I've needed to get through this weekend and getting married and I couldn't be more thankful. I learned a lot about myself and about life, he truly has a gift and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an astrology reading!!"

    A Sign Of What's To Come

    This week in the astrology is best understood as a set up for what we’re gonna witness next month in mid-July. If mid-July is the big wedding we’re getting ready for, this week and mid-June is the rehearsal dinner. And that’s because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Venus will aspect the 3 outer planets, foreshadowing Barbault’s Basket when Jupiter will aspect these outer planets in just about a month from now. Then Chiron enters Taurus, signaling the first shift in our collective and individual wounds and healing journeys since 2019. And then we end the week with one of my favorite days of the year: The Summer Solstice. (Winter Solstice for my people in the Southern Hemisphere) Astro highlights of the week: * Monday, June 15th at 3:51 pm PT: Venus sextiles Uranus * Tuesday, June 16th at 8:40 pm PT: Venus trines Neptune * Wednesday, June 17th at 1:38 pm PT: Venus opposes Pluto Rx * Friday, June 19th at 2:20 pm PT: Chiron enters Taurus * Sunday, June 21st at 1:24 am PT: Summer Solstice (Winter Solstice for Southern Hemisphere) Come back next week and we’ll talk about: * Venus trining Saturn * The Sun squaring Neptune * Mars sextiling Jupiter * Mars enters Gemini Which takes us into the craziness that will be July and the highly anticipated Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini on July 4th, America’s 250th birthday. If you’d like to get a personalized reading to be well-prepared for the stormy July and August, I have some spots available. You can schedule that reading by clicking here. This is a public episode.
