In Leo, Mercury asks us to consider the power of our creative fire, our passion to express ourselves as well as any insecurities or fears we might have of how others receive our creativity. If the measure of our creative expression is found in others, something is amiss.
Consider Creation itself: the unlimited generosity of the way Life continues to flow onto the planet, even in times of distress. Babies of all species are born. Plants grow where and when they can, given half a chance. The Sun rises and the tides ebb and flow. Creation doesn’t stop. It gives fully and without restraint. Our alignment with this powerful energy is the consideration, not whether we should bother and definitely not if others will or won’t like it. (Virgo is where we edit that which we have created in Leo. A different process.) For now it is about Creation and the power of the heart to open the gates of love through what it creates. A good ruler loves and serves the people and helps them create a good world to live in for themselves and generations to come. Leo is all about the heart which some say is the ruler of the country of our body which is to say, our existence.
At the start of the retrograde period on July 18th Mercury will sextile Venus, encouraging us to keep a notebook or maybe a sketchbook handy during this period. Good ideas will be plentiful. At the end of this period, as it moves through the exiting shadow, on August 18th Mercury will sextile Mars which appears to be a call to action.
Mercury retrograde in Leo will come close to making trines to Saturn and Neptune as well as an opposition with Pluto. This suggests that taking the time to step back and reflect upon what and how the heart is called to offer will make a real difference to the quality and the power of your creativity. The midpoint of this particular retrograde period is July 31st: A day to listen deeply to the longings of the heart. To let love tell you a thing or two.
