Between July 17 and 23, the sky enters one of the most significant astrological periods of 2026. The Basket of Barbault, an unusual planetary configuration that peaks between July 19 and 21, brings together the influence of four slow-moving planets: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
This transition signifies the beginning of a collective rebirth and a profound shift in consciousness.
Each planet contributes a different energy at the 4th degree of the sign it occupies. Jupiter in Leo boosts creativity, leadership, and the desire to regain enthusiasm. Uranus in Gemini accelerates ideas, transforms communication, and promotes innovation.
Neptune retrograde in Aries encourages questioning one’s identity and shedding the masks that no longer represent who we are. Meanwhile, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius fosters a profound transformation in society, communities, and the way we envision the future.
On a personal level, this transition encourages an inner reset. Many people may feel the need to act with greater authenticity, to let go of relationships or projects sustained by habit, and to reconsider what they wish to build from now on.
More than a period of immediate results, these days are like planting a seed. The energy is conducive to redefining intentions, adjusting the course, and preparing for radical changes that will unfold in the coming months, both individually and socially.
Aries
Today is not a day for rushing, Aries, and you know it even if it’s hard to admit. There’s something you’ve been wanting to resolve for a while, and this week it started to take shape — don’t undermine it with impatience. The energy of the day asks you to sit for a moment with what you have, to look at it closely before taking the next step. In love, someone close to you needs you to be truly present, not halfway. Financially, a decision that seemed urgent can wait until you have more clarity. Your hands know how to work, and what you build with them has a future. Trust the process even though the moon still doesn’t light up the entire path.
Lucky number: 7 · Compatibility: Sagittarius · Advice: What is worth having is not rushed; it requires effort.
Taurus
Taurus, today the universe speaks to you in your own language: that of solid ground and lasting things. There is a conversation pending with someone in your family — it could be a call, a message, or simply taking the moment to write down what you've been holding back. Don't put it off for later. The waxing moon gently nudges you to take that first step that you've delayed for so long. Financially, today is favorable for reviewing what you have before spending: stability is built brick by brick. Your health calls for movement and fresh air, even if just for a little while. Today, the essence of who you are feels stronger than ever — lean on it.
Lucky number: 23 · Compatibility: Virgo · Advice: Speak to someone you miss. Today is a good day for that.
Gemini
Gemini, your mind never stops, but today is a day that invites you to take a pause and listen more than you speak. There is wisdom in the people around you—or in the memories of those who are no longer close—that you have much to learn if you take the time to pay attention. In love, honest communication can open a door that seemed closed. Don't overthink it: express what you feel, calmly and lovingly. Financially, an idea that came to you this week deserves more analysis before turning it into action. The waxing moon is on your side, but it requires patience. Make the most of what you have, and you will see how it pays off.
Lucky number: 41 · Compatibility: Libra · Advice: Listening is also a way to resolve matters.
Cancer
Cancer, this Saturday is yours in a special way. The warmth of summer and the energy of the day align with your deepest nature: that of the caretaker, the one who remembers and supports. If today you feel nostalgia, do not fight it —let it pass like the wind, knowing that something new is on its way. Within your family, there is a small gesture that can mean a lot to someone in need. In love, the tenderness you give always returns; today more than ever. Financially, this is not a time for big risks, but rather for protecting what you already have. Your intuition is sharp today —if something doesn't sit right, trust your instincts. Those who care about you are closer than you think.
Lucky number: 8 · Compatibility: Scorpio · Advice: Take care of what is yours with the same love that you show to others.
Leo
Leo, today Saturn is putting you to the test, but it's a good one —the kind that reminds you what you're made of. Not everything has to shine to be valuable, and you're learning that lesson with more grace than you realize. Personally, there's a project or dream that needs more groundwork before it can be brought into the light. Don't get discouraged: what you build in silence tends to be the most solid. In love, your partner or the person you're interested in values your most authentic side today, not the one you perform. Financially, the constant effort you've been making is starting to show signs that it's on the right track. Keep moving forward, as the light will come.
Lucky number: 19 · Compatibility: Aries · Advice: The shine that comes from within cannot be extinguished by anything.
Virgo
Virgo, today your analytical mind is your greatest ally —but also your biggest temptation. The day encourages you to do the work without falling into the trap of finding flaws in everything. There is something you have been organizing with great effort, and it is closer to being ready than you think. In terms of health, your body is asking for real rest, not just a change of activity. In love, lower your defenses a little: not everything has to be perfect to be good. Someone in your close circle —maybe far away, maybe nearby— needs you to be more present and less critical. The waxing moon favors calm beginnings. Plant today what you wish to harvest later.
Lucky number: 36 · Compatibility: Taurus · Advice: The imperfect can also be exactly what you need.
Libra
Libra, this Saturday brings you a question that has been lingering for a while: what do you really want? You don't have to answer it all at once today, but you can start being honest with yourself. The waxing moon supports the decisions that are gradually taking shape. In love, don't settle for mediocrity out of comfort — you deserve something that truly makes you feel good. Your gift for human relationships is your greatest asset today: use it to build, not just to please. Economically, there's a small opportunity that may not seem like much but has potential if you stay consistent. The balance you seek begins within.
Lucky number: 55 · Compatibility: Gemini · Advice: Choosing is also an act of courage.
Scorpio
Scorpio, today the depth you carry within your soul meets a day that understands it. Saturn and your nature go hand in hand this Saturday: both know that important things are built below the surface, without haste and without scandal. If there is something to forgive—whether it is someone else or yourself—this is a good time to start that process in silence. In love, the intensity you feel is real, but don’t pour it all out at once: let things breathe. The perseverance you have shown in recent months is starting to bear fruit. Your strength is greater than any obstacle you face. What is coming will be good.
Lucky number: 13 · Compatibility: Cancer · Advice: Patience is the most powerful form of determination.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, today the world is calling you to stay still for a moment —and yes, we know that’s not your style. But there is a difference between exploring and escaping, and Saturn is helping you see which one you’re doing today. In family matters, there are roots worth honoring, even if they are far away or time has passed. A conversation you thought would be difficult may turn out to be more healing than you imagine. In love, the freedom you cherish becomes richer when shared with someone who understands you. Financially, an ambitious idea can succeed if you ground it with a concrete plan. Today, the opportunity lies in what you build, not in what you leave behind.
Lucky number: 28 · Compatibility: Aries · Advice: Roots do not bind you —they give you height.
Capricorn
Capricorn, this Saturday is almost tailor-made for you. Saturn, your ruling planet, sets the tone for the day with the same discipline that runs in your blood. There is an effort you have been holding strong — today, acknowledge it, even if no one else sees it yet. The waxing moon brings signs that what you have planted is taking root. In family matters, your steady and unwavering presence is more important than you realize for those who depend on you, no matter where they are. In love, show yourself a little more; behind that armor, there is much that someone would like to know. Economically, today's work is an investment for tomorrow. Keep pushing forward, as the path is yours.
Lucky number: 4 · Compatibility: Virgo · Advice: Honest work always finds its reward.
Aquarium
Acuario, today the day calls for you to step down a bit from the realm of ideas and touch the ground. You have a clear vision of how you want things to be—that's great—but the waxing moon reminds you that dreams are built with small, concrete steps. On a personal level, there is someone who misses you and may not know how to express it. A gesture from you could open that door. In terms of health, the mind also needs rest: not everything has to be about analysis and projection. Your originality is a gift, but today the world rewards you for perseverance. Combine the two and you will see.
Lucky number: 67 · Compatibility: Libra · Advice: Big dreams are built with small and steady hands.
Pisces
Piscis, today your heart is more open than usual, and that is a gift — cherish it. The energy of the day encourages deep reflection, and you know how to navigate those waters without getting lost. If you have been carrying something in silence, this Saturday is a good time to let it go, whether in a prayer, on paper, or in a conversation with someone you trust. In love, what you feel is valid — do not minimize it to avoid making anyone uncomfortable. Economically, trust your intuition today more than the numbers: something is guiding you on where to look. The waxing moon gradually illuminates your path. What is coming is good, and you deserve it.
Lucky number: 33 · Compatibility: Scorpio · Advice: Letting go is also a way to move forward.
