Mercury in Leo Is Giving These 4 Signs Their Voice Back

On August 9, Mercury finally leaves Cancer for the golden air of Leo. After a hellish Mercury retrograde in Cancer’s lunar waters, it is time to let your voice command. Mercury’s time in Leo will first be met by Pluto in Aquarius. These two conspire like two heads of a spy agency, releasing bits of secrets and mystery to intrigue. Then Mercury leaves the spy agency to hit the library with Jupiter. Jupiter reminds us that there is meaning, cohesion, and grace to our experiences. This sets the stage for the first series of eclipses in Leo and Aquarius in the middle of the month. Here are the four signs that will feel more inspired with Mercury in Leo!

Leo: A Glowing Golden Season

After two months of Mercury helping you explore the depths of your psyche, it is time to emerge back into the light. You have been opening closets full of skeletons and reviewing all the times you felt small, only to find that these places hold memories that are tangled cobwebs. As Mercury moves through Leo, you are invited to speak into existence all your wishes and grand dreams for yourself and the world. With support from Venus, you may find unexpected joy from your siblings, chosen family, or neighbors. It is a good time to give a compliment to your mailman or a pep talk to your siblings. Jupiter is hanging out with Mercury, and on August 15, the two great yappers of the sky will have their annual confab. This day looks to be fabulous, so plan a trip to the salon, nail tech, or a shopping spree. Energy starts to fade toward the end of the month as Mercury joins the south node. This is a time to really journal out some thoughts and then put the journal through the paper shredder. The south node is a point of deep release, so release all wiggles of shame and fear fully from your mind with a ritual purging.

Aquarius: Loosening Up From the Grind

Mercury has been grinding through your place of work and health, Aquarius, for most of the summer. It’s been hard to let go and feel the carefree breeze when there is so much to do and so much to take care of. As Mercury moves into Leo, you are finally able to take a breath and lift your head. You have been alchemizing your entire being as Pluto started his journey through Aquarius. Mercury in Leo is here to help you process these changes with the help of a trusted confidant. Let yourself open up to your fellow freaks and weirdos; Jupiter has been blessing you with new or more cohesive connections, and while trust takes time, trust also takes heart and bravery. Plan to be social on August 15, Aquarius, as Jupiter and Mercury have their annual meeting in Leo. You may find unforeseen connections in the world that bring you joy.

Gemini: Finding the Words for the Changes

You have been changing, Gemini, in ways that even you can’t quite articulate. Thankfully, as one of Mercury’s favorites, it will be easier to find the right words with Mercury in Leo. With blessings from Jupiter and Venus this month, it’s time to really take yourself out on a date and strike up a conversation with a stranger turned new friend. Open your eyes, ears, and hands to the world around you, especially your neighborhood, and you might just find the exact turn of phrase that’s been hovering on the tip of your pen. Make sure to slow down around August 25, as Virgo season begins. The sun comes into friction with Uranus, so slow down before you slip and land with your foot in your mouth.

Sagittarius: Planning and Planning on Planning

Sagittarius, I know we always advise you to travel, but seriously, the stars are aligning for some magical experiences away from home for you this month! With Mercury in Leo, it is totally time to plan that trip. Mercury loves data, logistics, analytics, hustle, and lists. As they light up your house of travel and spirituality, book that flight and rent the hotel room somewhere that really lights your soul up. Jupiter is blessing travel, philosophy, and education for you for the rest of the year, so don’t worry about missing the boat. Mercury’s time in Leo is the planning stages of that life-affirming trip. Toward the end of August, let the plans you’ve planned rest and ferment into gold goodness as the south node meets with Mercury.
