Your weekly horoscope for July 20-26, 2026, is history in the making. The Barbault Basket, a rare astrological phenomenon, perfects in the upcoming days the union between Jupiter in Leo, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune retrograde in Aries, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This will be intense when they share transformational aspects to the same degree. These four planets are bouncing off each other, bringing sweeping global changes in values and technology.
The revolution is here. Let’s understand the astrology behind it. Philosophical Jupiter in Leo dances with Neptune retrograde in Aries and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on July 20, and then Uranus in Gemini on July 21. We’ll be itching to step into a new space. Mercury in Cancer and Venus in Virgo offer tenderness on the 24th, as a shield against destructiveness. Neptune and Pluto retrograde entice us to believe in the dream on July 25—no matter the cost or toll it’ll take. If we don’t see the immediate effects, stay tuned for July 29’s Full Moon in Aquarius, when they’ll be apparent.
The Sun shifts into Leo on July 22, adding passion and flair to our lives. The fiery sentiments are igniting our desire for success. Further, Mercury retrograde in Cancer completes its moonwalk on July 23, but won’t cross the finish line until August 6, due to retroshade. We have another opportunity to make nice with those we’ve had miscommunications with and to deal with the ex that’s been blowing up our DMs.
Below, explore your weekly horoscope.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Mercury’s backspin is offering you insight and clarity in how you should evolve relationships. The beginning of the week is going to propel you to take your power back and not allow others to play games with your heart. The consequences of Jupiter and Pluto retrograde’s fraught aspects on July 20 could lead to frustration, as you are protecting yourself from nonsense. As the week goes on, you’ll have a broader understanding of your feelings and be able to mend issues with others without theatrics.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
There are different sentiments coming to you this week, making you veer from maintaining familiar standpoints and routines. Part of you wants to hide away from the spotlight when the Sun enters Leo on July 22. Still, you also want to be in the scene, due to Venus’s presence on your Sun, with Mercury’s forward march on July 23. It will be better for you to dip in and out of communication with your friends to avoid confrontation, conflict, and maintain a graceful social standing.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Taking the high road will require considerable effort on your part. The Barbault Basket, which peaks from the 20th to the 25th, is urging you to comprehend that you are better than the energy being projected onto you. Since you have a reputation for being cool, calm, and collected, your peers are taking that for granted and using you to trauma dump and vent. Since they’re not reciprocating, your hurt feelings will fester. Journal your emotions to release them rather than bottle them up.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Jupiter and Pluto retrograde are pushing you to find the middle ground between two juxtaposing vibes on July 20. To cultivate balance between your private and public life, you should minimize your current online activity and stop overstating with friends. Yes, it will be hard not to post on Instagram and TikTok, as well as not giving access to your location 24/7, but you’ll find that retreating into your cocoon allows you to feel confident and comfortable until Mercury turns direct on July 23.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
