July 2026 Astrology- This Month Changes Everything—How 'Barbault's Basket' Hits Your Sign!

July 2026 brings one of the rarest configurations I have ever charted. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto form a tight minor triangle lasting nearly two years, while Jupiter — freshly in Leo — builds a second triangle and opposes Pluto, creating what's being called Barbault's "basket."

In this forecast, I break down the entire month day by day so you can navigate it with confidence, both personally and collectively. After every transit, I tell you which sun, moon, and rising signs are most affected—and how to actually work with the energy instead of just reacting to it.

We'll cover what a sextile truly requires from you, why the Jupiter–Pluto opposition on July 20 is the pivot of the month, the deeper history behind Jupiter–Pluto cycles, the lunar nodes shifting into the Aquarius–Leo axis, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, and the all-in-or-all-out full moon on July 29.
