JULY
On July 1, 2026, I learned that an upcoming astrological “cradle” (often referred to as a “basket”) was a once-in-a-century alignment of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and formed a harmonious, stabilizing aspect. According to French astrologer André Barbault, who passed away in 2019, this rare configuration suggested a major period of collective reorganization and the dawn of a new cycle of civilization.
It was scheduled to occur between the 15th and the 24th of July. Since my birthday was on the 22nd, this alignment would happen as I transitioned from my Judgement to The World tarot year. What was strange to me was that if I turned my astrology birth chart on its side, a similar basket or cradle appeared, involving my MC, Mercury, Pluto, and Neptune.
For this reason, I kept a close watch on these dates to see if anything significant happened.
Madonna released her album, Confessions II, on July 3, 2026, and the sun responded the following day with a major solar flare measuring X1.3 at 4:41 EST.
That evening, I discovered the following video on YouTube, which closed out this chapter perfectly.
CORRECTION No. 1
I returned to the sacred tree of knowledge on July 7, 2026, for another brief visit and added a second video that I discovered on July 4.
CORRECTION No. 2
I repeated the same ritual on July 9, 2026. While looking into the portal, I wondered if any additional knowledge would come directly to me before the last day of Judgement. I added the third and final video discovered on July 4.
CORRECTION No. 3
While quietly riding my bicycle around the lake on July 11, 2026, I saw the hawk sitting on top of the light pole again. The message once again was to wait. I concluded that with just ten days to go, it was best to let the year finish off quietly and peacefully, but the messages from the murder of crows on June 17 started to make a lot of sense.
Earlier in the year, I purchased a lighted star to place outside my apartment next to the front door. After it was delivered, I learned that it was too big for the space. Instead of returning it, I hung it on the shed beside my flower garden.
I rotated the sun face from the previous year to the west side of the shed and hung the star on the north face. I painted the center of the star white. Sunflower seeds from the previous year took root and grew over ten feet tall. Two gnomes watched over the garden.
In addition to all of my prayers and rituals of the last year, I focused most of my energy on family and home. Coupled with the house I grew up in, this home also had a permanent feel, so much so that I poured a lot of my creativity into both the interior and exterior.
Since my return to North Carolina in October 2023, I had experienced a tremendous amount of peace with my family, something I had not encountered since before coming out as gay in the early 1980s.
My brothers, their wives, my nieces, nephews, and I got along so well despite our differences. A full-circle moment for sure. All that was missing in my life was a life partner, but in actuality, my story was my significant other. It provided me with a tremendous amount of companionship. I was never very good at romantic relationships with other humans.
On July 21, 2026, I completed my fifth 13-year period of life (5 x 13 = 65) and my third Judgement year right in the middle of the astrological “cradle” and the dawning of a new civilization.
THE END OF JUDGEMENT
Everything I had completed thus far in my odyssey was now irreversible. It did matter whether or not this website existed, or if anyone ever read my story or if I lived to tell the tale. The groundwork had been laid and everything was set in motion.
And with that, I took a moment to ask the question: What did the last year of my adventure have in store for me? Was I ready for The World?
