it’s also called a Blood Moon, and there’s a Lunar Eclipse at 6:38 AM EST on Tuesday, March 3rd. There have been several major astrological occurrences recently including planetary alignments, so we’re sharing this marvelous Ivo Dominguez’s Facebook post with you: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10164454044192594&set=a.58260217593 . Here is his introduction which is followed by suggestions for Workings to be done in July:
Working With The Barbault Basket — Ivo Domínguez Jr
This brief message is meant for witches, magicians, and other practitioners. The focus is not on prediction but on the use of the conditions available this year. On February 20th, we had the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at zero degrees Aries, the world point, the zeroth of creation. This has opened the way for dramatic change in the world.
In the second half of July 2026, Saturn and Neptune are still co-present in Aries and thus still interacting. Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto have moved into alignment to form what is being called the Barbault Basket. All the outer planets are engaged! It is composed of 3 sextiles, 2 trines, and one opposition (See diagram). Astrologer André Barbault viewed it as potentially bringing the world to its next stage of growth and evolution. That may be so, but Astrology never guarantees positive outcomes; those only come when we choose to use the celestial influences wisely. You are encouraged to do rituals in July to help coax and shepherd things into being that you desire for yourself and the greater good. Please engage with the change, work hard, and dream big.…
PS: For clarity I have only shown the planets in the Basket in the image
SGC’s Elders will be unable to facilitate an Open Spring Equinox Ritual this year but we’re looking forward to seeing you at future events when we’re able to be outdoors in sunny warm weather. Blessed Be!
