From July 20 to 26, the sky will showcase one of the most significant configurations of 2026. After reaching its peak on July 19, the Barbault's Basket remains active and focuses a very important combination of energies.
It does not announce a change that can be perceived overnight, but rather the beginning of a profound transformation that will unfold gradually both on an individual level and collectively.
On July 20 and 21, Jupiter in Leo focuses a significant portion of celestial activity as it forms an opposition with retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, a fire trine with retrograde Neptune in Aries, and a sextile with Uranus in Gemini.
These planets are located around four degrees of their respective signs and, along with the Moon, form a figure that resembles a star within the so-called Basket of Barbault.
The extraordinary aspect of this configuration is not each element on its own. In fact, these planetary relationships have been occurring independently since 2025 and will continue to do so until 2028. What is exceptional is that they are now happening simultaneously, enhancing their astrological symbolism and marking a particularly significant moment of transition.
The week also brings two significant movements. On July 22, the Sun enters Leo, marking the start of this sign's season and enhancing themes related to creativity, confidence, and personal expression.
The next day, Mercury completes its retrograde motion and resumes direct movement in Cancer. It forms a sextile with Venus in Virgo, an aspect that favors communication, relationships, agreements, and the arrival of news that could turn out to be positive, depending on each person's situation.
Aries
Today you wake up with that energy that sometimes you don’t know where to put, Aries. There’s something you’ve been wanting to resolve for a while, something related to people you care about who may not be as close as they would like to be. Today is a good day to take that step you’ve been putting off: making that call, sending that message, expressing how you feel without beating around the bush. Summer invites fullness, and you know better than anyone that life doesn’t wait. Don’t keep your words inside.
Lucky number: 7 · Compatibility: Leo · Advice: What you don’t say today will weigh heavier tomorrow. Speak up.
Taurus
Taurus, this Monday asks you to keep your feet on the ground without forgetting that you also have a soul. The waxing moon touches your finances and your daily world with a soft but clear light: there is an opportunity to stabilize something that has been moving too much. It's not a day for grand gestures; it's a day for steady steps. Review what you have, organize what you can, and don't underestimate the value of small things done well. If someone in your family needs support, your way of giving it is practical and real, and that is worth gold.
Lucky number: 33 · Compatibility: Virgo · Advice: Stability is built brick by brick. Lay yours today.
Gemini
Gemini, today your mind is faster than your body, and this can be an advantage if you know how to manage it. The moon this Monday makes you sentimental and curious at the same time, a combination that makes you special and sometimes a bit restless. You might find yourself thinking a lot about people who are far away, about conversations that were left unfinished, about things you wanted to say but didn't. Today you have the energy to close those open loops. Write, call, connect. Your words have a special power.
Lucky number: 21 · Compatibility: Aquarius · Advice: A word from you at the right moment can change someone's day.
Cancer
This is your day, Cancer. The Moon governs you, and today you can feel it in every fiber, in every memory that surfaces unexpectedly, in that scent that suddenly takes you to another time and place. Don’t shy away from that nostalgia; embrace it, as it is also love. But don’t stop there: the waxing moon tells you that there is something to build with all that feeling. Family, whether close or far, is your root and your strength. If today you can do something for someone you care about, even if it’s small, do it. Your ability to care is a gift that the world needs.
Lucky number: 4 · Compatibility: Scorpio · Advice: Taking care of others starts with not neglecting yourself.
Leo
Leo, summer is your season, and today the universe reminds you of that. However, this Monday, the moon invites you to lower the volume of the spotlight and raise the volume of your heart. There are people in your life who need your real presence, not your brilliance, but your human warmth. That is also yours, and sometimes you hold onto it too much. In love, if you have a partner, today is for genuine gestures, the kind that don’t need an audience. If you are looking for love, there is favorable energy for someone new to enter your orbit. In financial matters, an idea you have been nurturing for a while is starting to take concrete shape.
Lucky number: 17 · Compatibility: Aries · Advice: Your greatest appeal today is not what you show, but what you feel.
Virgo
Virgo, this Monday finds you in analysis mode, but the moon urges you to also allow yourself to feel without so many filters. You have been efficiently resolving issues for others, which is enviable, and that's just who you are. However, today there is something personal that also needs your attention, something in the emotional realm that you have been postponing because there always seems to be something more urgent. There isn't. Your well-being is just as important as everything else you take care of. At work, an honest conversation can open a door that seemed closed.
Lucky number: 46 · Compatibility: Taurus · Advice: Be as clear about your needs as you are about those of others.
Libra
Libra, today the balance you seek comes from within, not from your circumstances. The moon this Monday influences your relationships, and you may feel the weight of being caught in the middle: between what you want and what is possible, between here and there, between the heart and reason. That is not weakness; it is your nature. But today you are called to take a stand, even if it's a small one. Commit to something, someone, or a decision. The waxing moon does not reward indecision; it rewards action. In love, there is a conversation waiting to be had that, if you engage in it today with calmness and honesty, can relieve much of that weight. Dare to do it.
Lucky number: 29 · Compatibility: Gemini · Advice: Choosing is also an act of love, for yourself and for others.
Scorpio
Scorpio, today you feel things that you don't share with anyone, and that's okay, but don't let them rot inside. The moon this Monday stirs the deep waters where you reside, and something that you've kept submerged for a long time might surface: a sorrow, a desire, a decision you've yet to make.
The energy of the day gives you the courage to face what hurts and transform it into motivation.In terms of finances, there's a favorable movement if you trust your intuition and not your fear. Someone close to you may bring you information or an opportunity that's worth listening to without prejudice.
Lucky number: 8 · Compatibility: Cancer · Advice: What you face today will no longer have power over you tomorrow.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, the horizon always calls to you, but today the moon asks you to look a little closer: the people beside you, those who wait for you, those who remember you. This Monday, there is an energy of reunion, those moments when something or someone returns to your life for a second chance. Don't let it slip away by looking too far ahead. Your natural optimism is a gift on days like this; when others see dark clouds, you see the clear sky. Share that light, it is needed.
Lucky number: 55 · Compatibility: Aries · Advice: Sometimes the most important journey is the one that takes you back to your loved ones.
Capricorn
Capricorn, you have been fighting for so long that sometimes you forget that you also have the right to receive. Today is not the day for big goals; it's a day to remember why you started. If there is tension at home or with someone close, the conversation you avoided last week can be resolved today more easily than you think. The waxing moon gives you a boost in your finances: something you worked hard to plant is beginning to show signs of harvest.
Lucky number: 12 · Compatibility: Virgo · Advice: Resting is not giving up; it's recharging to continue.
Aquarium
Aquarius, today your innovative mind and sensitive heart come together, creating something beautiful. The moon this Monday connects you with community, with your loved ones even if they are far away, bringing that sense of belonging that can sometimes be hard to find when living between worlds. You may receive some news or a sign today that reminds you that you are not as alone as you sometimes feel. Professionally, an idea that seemed too bold is beginning to find its way: don't abandon it.
Lucky number: 38 · Compatibility: Gemini · Advice: Being different is not a burden, it is your path.
Pisces
Pisces, today the world speaks to you in whispers, and you know how to listen like few others. That is a gift, but be careful not to carry what is not yours: set boundaries with love. In matters of the heart, there is a special tenderness in the air: if you have a partner, today's simple gesture is worth more than tomorrow's grand plan. If you are alone, give yourself the love you offer to others. Spiritually, this is a powerful day for you: any request made with faith and humility finds resonance.
Lucky number: 63 · Compatibility: Scorpio · Advice: Your sensitivity is not weakness; it is your way of understanding the world.
