Astrology & Tarot Insights for July 2026
In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for July. They begin with the Mars/Uranus Conjunction on July 4th, discussing how this explosive aspect could manifest in disruptions, surprises, and change that emerges seemingly out of nowhere. They discuss the Minor Grand Trine between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which is activated throughout the month, exploring potential themes that may unfold as these powerful collective planets align. They talk about the mid-month “Barbault Basket” which weaves together those three planets with Jupiter and the Moon, and how it may offer us an invitation to invoke a greater vision for ourselves and the world. Stephanie pulls the tarot card for the month, the Strength card, and Megan explains how the fairytale of Beauty and the Beast relates to the card’s meaning, ultimately inspiring gentleness and compassion, and the idea that "in vulnerability comes great strength.”
Minor Grand Trine
Below you can see the configuration of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in what’s known as a Minor Grand Trine configuration. It’s also referred to as a Talent Triangle or Magic Triangle. While the chart shows a certain day and time, the extent of its invitations expand before and after that. Uranus is the dark blue symbol that looks like a satellite, Neptune the blue/green symbol that looks like a trident, and Pluto the burgundy symbol that looks like a chalice with a cross underneath.
Barbault’s Basket
On July 19, both Jupiter in Leo and the Moon will also be at the 4 degree mark, just like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are. This configuration is being called the Barbault Basket, after the late astrologer André Barbault, who years ago predicted this rare celestial event. Jupiter is the grey symbol that looks like a stylized 4 and the Moon is the gold symbol that looks like a Crescent Moon.
