Wizard Weekly by Daniel Giamario | July 25 2026 |
My last Wizard Weekly described the build up to the events happening over these next few days, leading to the Vision Quest Full Moon. It also presaged these next days, while referencing the major excitement and emphasis on the so-called basket pattern, framed by the Jupiter-Pluto opposition, which was exact on July 20. The exactness of all those trines and sextiles completed on July 25, though the general pattern is still presenting for quite some time. It’s good to know of the general and rare support from the Celestial realm. However, there continues to be far more emphasis on the Middle and Lower Worlds.
Astonishing Congruences
Recapping some of the data from last week, I want to place full attention on the astonishing congruences especially on Sunday, July 26, and Wednesday, July 29.
Sunday, July 26
Sun Faces Pluto
11:55PM PDT, Sun at 4Leo17 and Pluto at 4Aquarius17Rx. Moon OOB 27S14
At least three days of Plutonian intensity. What are the conditions for surrender? Are you ready to integrate the shadow, compost what is not working, and transform into strength and wellness?
Saturn SR
12:56PM PDT, Saturn stations retrograde at 14Aries44Rx
At least three days of concentrated Saturn energies. Moon OOB 27S46
Add this to the Plutonian emphasis.
Lunar Nodes Enter Aquarius/Leo
6:39PM PDT, the Lunar Nodes enter the Aquarius/Leo axis. Moon OOB 27S31
Due to the upcoming eclipse season, starting with the August 12 total solar eclipse, the nodes will not reach into the 28th degree until October 9. Pay close attention to this 29th degree of Leo and Aquarius.
Three powerful events on the same day!
Wednesday, July 29
Venus square Mars
12:10AM PDT, Venus at 21Virgo14, Mars at 21Gemini14.
I had not mentioned this aspect last week. At first you may wonder about placing it in the underworld – as I will do because Venus and Mars are wrapping up the final portions of their Underworld Saga. This aspect demonstrates one perfection of this pattern, on par with when they were conjunct behind the Sun in the exterior underworld back on January 7 at 18Capricorn09.
Now, Mars (1.36magnitude) is exactly 45degrees from the Sun in the morning sky, and Venus (-4.23magnitude) 45degrees from the Sun in the evening sky. During the Underworld Saga, the observer from Earth will not see them together in the sky. This is a 32-year pattern, and if you look up the same July dates in 1994, you see a near perfect replication. As the Venus Pisces 584-day Overstory winds down, so nears the Mars Cancer 25-month Overstory its end. Here is where we can find out if the various lessons and teachings that these expressions of the archetypal sacred feminine and archetypal sacred masculine received have been learned or not.
Sun Conjunct Jupiter
5:18AM PDT, 6Leo24
Jupiter is behind the Sun in the exterior underworld. Is this the Jupiterian underworld? Surely this spotlights the Jupiter-Pluto opposition that began and framed this time frame even more.
Full Moon
7:35AM PDT, Moon at 6Aquarius30, Sun at 6Leo30
In a rare possible respite that connects to the Upper World, I have always considered this to be the yearly Vision Quest Moon, something I learned in 1981 at Mt.Shasta as part of my first Vision Quest experience. I have honored the Aquarian Full Moon in this manner ever since. I advocate that, in your own way, expand your vision with this Full Moon! Whichever way you most like, connect with your future self and align with life purpose.
This Full Moon can be seen as a climax of the above events. Given the powerful presence of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury representing the Middle World, with strong connections to Pluto and Chiron representing the Lower World, more so than at many other Full Moons, don’t neglect the shadows of Aquarius and Leo. Full Moons reveal the shadows of night and in only two weeks we arrive at the South Node Leo Total Solar Eclipse. Will you be ready?
Three more powerful events, once again all on the same day!
Naked Eye Connection
My work through the decades and TOTAMS has always emphasized naked eye connection with the visible planets, stars, and constellational patterns. This references an astrology that would work for the entirety of the 300,000 years, at least, of the existence of the type of Homo Sapiens that we are—without reliance on any kind of technology. Prior to the discovery of Uranus, the Lunar Nodes, the visible planets, and their synods, were the only items in the canon, and all three worlds could be discerned there. The “basket”, remarkable and rare as it is, would not have shown up at all. To this day, many Vedic systems do not use the main ingredients of this basket at all.
Most of the aspects and cycles highlighted above, however, would have occupied center stage in a very powerful way, and are indeed where all the action is.
Cross Pollination
Another foundational element of the TOTAMS approach is the cross pollination between the signs and the stars and their constellational patterns. This is of great importance, especially at a Great Turning.
These next days feature some really unique and important correspondences:
North Node
Aligned with the Royal Star Fomalhaut and the Water (plasma?) jar of the Water Bearer.
South Node
Aligned with the Royal Star Regulus, heart of the Lion and connected to archangel Michael.
Full Moon
Located right on the horns of the Goat-Fish constellation.
Sun
Right on the Praesaepe star cluster in the Crab constellation, associated with vision – most appropriate as Venus is in the 6th chakra portal.
Venus
Located in the loins of the Lion constellation.
Mars
Located between the horns of the Bull constellation.
Jupiter
Though not visible behind the Sun, any dedicated sky watcher would have known where this dominant and bright planet was—in alignment with Praesaepe and the Sun.
Navigating This Next Week
The experience of these alignments would have really mattered, and we can only speculate as to how the ancients experienced them. But, we too can still experience them, get new transmissions, and with our imaginative capacities, create new stories, as we co-create year two of the post-KaliYuga Age.
Regarding the main theme of respecting all three worlds, here are a few clues and suggestions for navigating this next week.
Upper World
As long as light polarization and spiritual bypass is avoided, the support from the Upper World remains available.
Middle World
World events will likely intensify and spiral out of control more than ever before. War, AI control, economic challenges, and confrontation with objective limitations, necessitate developing your spiritual will to take the actions needed to defend against violations of your personal sovereignty and anything that tempts deviation from your intended life purpose.
Underworld
The conditions for surrender are amplified. Great trust is required to somehow remember that out of surrender comes a primal strength and increasing wellness.
All in all, the bifurcation process and an additional timeline split are upon us. Choose to retain a deep connection to Goodness, Virtue, Heart, Soul and Spirit. That is to say, choose to remain an authentic Human Being.
Re-Birthing Astrology
Consider joining our Re-Birthing Astrology: Radically Revisioning the 12 Mystery Schools of Life journey. We not only intend to envision the 12 signs in new ways appropriate to a post-KaliYuga Age, but also explore their past shadow expressions.
Our seminar to re-vision Leo is on August 1.
Let’s come together in community for this great work!
