As we move into the season of Leo, from July 22nd to August 21st, the time has come to reconnect with the deepest parts of ourselves. This period, known for its playfulness and fun, invites us to remember and honor our inner child’s dreams. This year, however, the sky is setting the stage for an epic transformation, thanks to the second retrograde of Mercury. This celestial event will prompt us to review various aspects of our lives and create a heart-centered reality.
Understanding the Dual Facets of Mercury Retrograde
The upcoming Mercury retrograde will unfold in two distinct phases:
- Virgo Phase (August 4th to August 14th): This phase will focus on what needs to be reviewed, analyzed, or discussed. It’s a time for meticulous introspection and critical assessment of our current situations. During this period, pay close attention to the details in your life—whether it’s in your work, relationships, or personal growth. This is a time to step back and reflect on what’s working and what isn’t. Consider the habits and routines that you’ve established. Are they serving your highest good, or is it time to make some adjustments?
- Leo Phase (August 14th to August 28th): This phase will help us connect with our feelings, encouraging us to create our reality from a heart-centered place rather than a purely intellectual one. Leo, ruled by the Sun, is all about radiance, creativity, and self-expression. During this phase, you may find yourself drawn to activities that allow you to express your true self. This is a powerful time for creative pursuits, be it art, music, writing, or any form of self-expression that resonates with you.
New Moon in Leo: A Time for Introspection and Growth
On August 4th, the New Moon in Leo will usher in a period of deep introspection and self-discovery. This is the perfect time to ask yourself important questions and embrace meditation practices, such as candle-gazing, to seek the answers you need. The New Moon in Leo invites us to set intentions that align with our true desires and aspirations. Take this opportunity to envision your ideal future and the steps you need to take to get there. The answers you find during this introspective phase will likely culminate around the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19th, bringing a wave of action and movement that will help release stagnant mindsets and situations.
Navigating the Cosmic Shifts
As witty and chatty Mercury transitions from Leo to Virgo, and later returns in retrograde, communication may become challenging during the first week of August. This will persist through the end of Leo season, making it a time to focus on clear and heartfelt communication. During Mercury retrograde, misunderstandings can arise easily, so it’s important to be patient and mindful in your interactions. Double-check important documents and be cautious with your words.
Romantic Venus will also play a crucial role, encouraging you to heal past wounds with tried and true methods before moving on to Virgo. The temptation to stick with familiar habits will be strong this season, but the New Moon in Leo will push you to perfect your current circumstances, much like reloading a video game to replay a sequence with newfound wisdom. This period is less about starting anew and more about refining and improving what already exists in your life.
Use this time to make necessary adjustments and
align your actions with your heart’s desires.
Embrace Your True Self
Whatever challenges or uncertainties you may face during this transformative period, remember that your sense of self remains intact. Embrace the growth and changes with confidence, knowing that insecurity and imbalance are temporary states. Leo season encourages you to stand in your power and shine your light brightly. Don’t shy away from the spotlight or fear criticism. Instead, use feedback as a tool for growth and improvement.
Remember,
true strength comes from being authentic and
embracing all aspects of yourself,
even the ones that need a bit of polishing.
