There’s a hot topic of discussion in astrology circles right now: Barbault’s Basket. Some astrologers are calling it the most important transit of the century. There’s a lot of extraordinary astrology for the times we’re living in right now, but this one has really caught my attention because of its similarities to another topic that’s dear to my heart, Clare W. Graves’ Spiral Dynamics. I used this framework in my 2019 book, The Change Code: A Practical Guide to Making a Difference in a Polarized World.

Do you ever get the feeling that something in your life needs to shift, even if you can’t quite name what it is yet?

Maybe you’re restless. Maybe you catch yourself daydreaming about a completely different way of working or living. Part of you feels excited but part of you wonders if you’re a little crazy for even thinking about it, especially when the life you have now looks good on paper.

If that’s you right now, I want you to know you’re in good company. I lived in that exact feeling for years.

If this week feels heavier or more charged than usual, you’re not imagining it. Seven planetary bodies are gathered in Aries right now, all at once. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, and your nervous system is picking up on it.
