Mercury (Storyteller) turns retrograde in Leo (for 3 weeks):

🔮 Alchemical Opportunities:

This retrograde in heart-centered, expressive Leo asks for a rewiring of self-expression—especially around how you speak from ego versus soul.
It’s an invitation to revisit your inner scriptwriter: Are you performing or revealing? Are you leading from performance or presence?
Mercury’s journey back through Leo is a mythic call to recover your original creative fire—the gold of authenticity buried under personas built for approval.

🌟 Invitations:

Revisit past projects, creative dreams, or bold communications that still hold vitality.
Track where your voice has been dimmed—by shame, fear of rejection, or performative pressures.
Reflection: “Where am I being asked to re-ignite my courage to speak and create from truth rather than approval?”

Sun in Cancer Squares Chiron in Aries

🔮 Alchemical Opportunities:

The Cancer Sun illuminates the wound of over-defensiveness or isolation (Chiron in Aries). There’s a tension between the tender need to belong and the armored stance of fierce independence.
This is ancestral and inner-child territory: wounds around not feeling safe to need others, or feeling unseen in your vulnerability.
A sacred clash between the protective shell and the initiatory fire of healing.

🌟 Invitations:

Notice where you’re either retreating too far into protective patterns or pushing too hard to “go it alone.”
This is a ripe time for tending to younger parts of you that learned independence as a survival strategy.
Reflections:
“What part of me longs to feel safe enough to let others in?”
“What am I protecting that is actually ready to be loved into wholeness?”

Mars in Virgo Conjunct the South Node

🔮 Alchemical Opportunities:

Mars—the planet of will, drive, and instinct—merges with the karmic South Node in meticulous Virgo, illuminating outdated survival strategies of over-efforting, control, or hypercriticism.
This transit may activate perfectionism as a wound-based response to feeling unworthy or unsafe.
You're being asked to let go of the illusion that “if I just do it all right, I’ll be okay.”

🌟 Invitations:

Notice where you are driven by anxiety-masked-as-productivity.
Practice right action from wholeness, not from wounding.
Reflections:
“Where am I still caught in the loop of fixing rather than transforming?”
“What old patterns of hyper-vigilance or over-responsibility am I ready to release?”
