The cosmos has a message for us all as Mercury spins backward through the fiery territory of Leo from July 17th to August 11th. Unlike the standard Mercury retrograde panic, this episode brings a fresh perspective on embracing this cosmic drama queen energy with grace and spiritual awareness.
Mercury retrograde in Leo carries a unique flavor. The sun-ruled sign amplifies our self-expression, creativity, and yes—our ego. This celestial pause button asks us to examine how we communicate, where our pride might be getting in the way, and how authentically we're shining our light. Those telenovela-level misunderstandings? They're not random—they're cosmic invitations to check ourselves before we wreck our vibe.
I break down exactly what to avoid (dramatic haircuts and impulsive "I quit" moments), what to embrace (revisiting creative projects and inner child healing), and how this retrograde uniquely affects each house in your birth chart. Whether Leo falls in your first house of identity, your fifth house of creativity and romance, or your twelfth house of spirituality, I offer practical guidance for navigating these energies with self-awareness rather than resistance.
Your retrograde experience doesn't have to be a disaster. By approaching this transit as an opportunity for reflection, healing, and realignment, you can harness its transformative potential. Mercury isn't spinning backward to complicate your life—it's offering a divine pause to reconnect with your authentic essence. Are you ready to shine bright, but with wisdom? Share your Mercury retrograde experiences with me on Instagram and remember: embrace your raíces, reclaim your esencia.
