Mercury (communications, information, our mental processes, siblings, local community, commerce, transportation) says hasta-la-vista to Cancer today and moves into fiery LEO where, because of his upcoming retrograde, he will hang his hat until August 19th!
Leo is the space we carry what 'makes us special'.
With Mercury (communication, intellect) here it will be easier to put our 'special' into words and to connect with the ideas and conversations that will push forward whatever we are most passionate about.
We will want our words to be heard and appreciated now. So will other people. Even the most reticent among us will want an audience. Our thinking/ideas (Mercury) can catch fire now (Leo).
Speaking from our hearts will connect us to other people's hearts. Encouraging words will matter.
This is very powerful energy. Leo is our superpower and should be used wisely. People will hear us with their heart and well as their head.
This gives the potential for hearts to expand as well as to be broken into little, tiny pieces. Keep this in mind.
Leo is a fixed fire sign, so words can burn now and words can dig us even more rigidly into our positions.
With Leo there is great opportunity for win-win and also for 'nobody wins'.
The energy right now is excellent for teaching us how we express what we are passionate about. It's very supportive of 'top of the mountain' heart-filled type of proclamations and proposals. Do people listen to us? Does what we say matter? We will care about this now .......
Mercury will station retrograde on July 26th, so he will get all the way to 23 degrees Leo, then stop (from our perspective here on Earth) and reverse course to 11 degrees, then stop, reverse course again and start moving forward again. He will get back to 23 degrees Leo on September 3rd and then start covering new ground. So from July 8th when he hits 11 degrees Leo through September 3rd we will be going back and forth over whatever Mercury's retrograde is stirring up for us in our natal Leo house.
This is the house of the North Node of Fate and our future, only for a few more months (!), so certainly this will be about us following our heart, our creativity, children, romance, stepping into our natural spotlight, doing what makes us feel proud and generous. At the same time he will be opposing that South Node (of what is ripe for release) in Aquarius - distraction, detachment, herd-mentality, releasing identities that cause division.
It is not a coincidence we have Mars retrograding back and forth through Aquarius (the South Node) and Mercury moving back and forth through Leo (the North Node) ALL summer, Venus will be in Virgo, the sign of her detriment and the other planets will ALL be retrograde. Plus have I said - 3 eclipses! July and August are going to be intense. We can already feel this.
The first aspect Mercury makes (exact TOMORROW and in play now) is a square to rebellious, anything-can-happen Uranus (in Taurus at 1 degree) and a trine to Chiron (at 2 degrees Aries).
Communications/news/information will be LOUD and UNEXPECTED likely causing tension and frustration. The brakes-off trine to wounded healer Chiron tells us to give voice to our pain; to talk about what hurts. This could relate to whatever Thursday's Full Moon brought to light or to a peak or culmination.
For many people a sudden shift of circumstances begins this week.
Heads up that Mercury is going to hook up with the North Node on TUESDAY so let's pay attention to the information/conversation/news that comes to our attention beginning NOW, but especially early next week - clues to the smoothest movement toward our highest level future path are being tossed at us like breadcrumbs and even full loaves of Wonder, let's hope the birds - my backyard Blue jays are brutal this year - don't get to them first!
xo all
Remember the Moon is void all day today folks. Not a good day to start anything new.

Pick those few days before the August new moon and book a trip, so you can't back out! :) Trust the moon to provide you a few days of rest. Yah? Can it work like that?
Lately I've been shedding layers and opting out of things that don't feel fulfilling, or just too much - getting organized, getting ready, less is more, work smarter not harder, goals, spending more time around people that make us feel good. You said a while back that there would be big changes in 2020, and that feels right on schedule for us right now.
Keeping my eye on the prize, but trying to live for today too. Balance. ♥
Now go book that vacation, it's important! :)
xoxo
Thanks smart lady xo
