Whenever Mercury goes Retrograde, there’s always an element of chaos in the air, no matter which sign the transit takes place in. When the planet of communication, technology, and thought turns retrograde in fiery Leo on July 18, the chaos can come from letting your ego get in the way of your business deals, your partnerships, or even (and especially) your passion projects.
Until the retrograde transit ends on August 11, you should expect tempers to flare and drama to rise. People might make a big deal out of smaller things, and do desperate things in order to be seen!
On the plus side, though, a Mercury Retrograde in Leo gives us the opportunity to test whether we’ve assumed too many responsibilities and whether we need to scale back on leadership roles until we find our balance again.
Read on to find out how Mercury Retrograde in Leo will impact your daily life.
Aries
Don’t rush to go on dates with people you don’t know well. Same goes for starting a business together.
Taurus
Your family will get on your nerves. Try not to let it. Choose silence instead of complaining or escalating.
Gemini
Technology might go haywire, so just make sure to save everything. Double-check each text you’ve typed before sending.
Cancer
Bills might not be paid on time, people might owe you money, so err to the side of caution.
Leo
If you speak your mind, as you tend to do, you might be misunderstood. Try to filter your responses.
Virgo
You may feel disillusioned and unable to connect with your intuition. Make time for rest and meditation, it’s necessary.
Libra
Ideally, you’d want to get along with everyone. But what about when it’s not possible? Because it won’t be.
Scorpio
Your plans for world domination, sorry, success at work, might be stalled a bit. No matter. Just keep trying.
Sagittarius
Check your reservations and make sure that all your travel plans have flexible cancellation clauses. Better safe than sorry.
Capricorn
Second-guess everything. Confirm everything, from your subscriptions and payments to the intentions of your beloved. Leave nothing to chance.
Aquarius
Power dynamics in relationships might need to be addressed. How much compromise is too much? And who’s doing it?
Pisces
Your daily life will be chaotic if you don’t grab hold of your schedule. Try to organize your space.
