Mercury Retrograde in Leo
July 18 – August 11, 2025
And here we go again — Mercury is going retrograde.
But this time, it’s in Leo… so it’s not just tech issues and delays — it’s personal.

⸻
What it means:
Mercury rules communication, thinking, technology, and travel.
When it’s retrograde, things tend to get… glitchy. But with Leo in the mix, this retrograde shines a spotlight on:
• How you express yourself
• How you speak your truth
• How you take up space (or don’t)
• And whether your words are actually aligned with your heart
Leo energy is bold, creative, passionate — but during this retrograde, it might feel like your voice is misunderstood, your confidence wobbles, or old ego wounds resurface.
⸻
What to watch for:
⚠️ Miscommunications or drama (especially around pride, love, or leadership)
⚠️ Being too reactive or taking things personally
⚠️ Second-guessing your creativity or self-expression
⚠️ Past people or situations coming back for a second look (hello exes 👀)
⸻
What this retrograde is really asking:
💭 Are you speaking from your heart—or just trying to impress?
💭 Do you still believe in the version of yourself you’re showing the world?
💭 Where can you slow down and really listen—to yourself and others?
⸻
How to move through it:
📝 Reflect before reacting
🎭 Reconnect with your creativity — just for YOU
💌 Re-read important messages before hitting send
🔥 Practice bold but honest communication
❤️ And check your ego, not your worth — those aren’t the same thing
⸻
The vibe:
This retrograde isn’t just tech issues and typos — it’s a chance to realign how you show up, speak out, and shine.
Let your truth lead the way — not your fear of being misunderstood.
