for day in Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun; do
    echo $day = "$(date -d "$(date -d '+1 month' '+%m/01/%C%y') $day")"
done

Mon = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
Tue = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
Wed = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
Thu = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
Fri = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
Sat = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
Sun = Sat Aug  1 00:00:00 MSK 2020
