As Mercury goes direct in the sign of Leo, it will be in the middle of a captivating dance with retrograde Pluto, the planet of transformation. This profound interaction—remaining active until August 17—promises to uncover hidden truths and deep desires that, if handled correctly, can help us align and reclaim a powerful mind-heart connection. Below is how your sign can make the best of this probing process and find clarity.
Aries
This Mercury retrograde stirred up action within your friendships as well as your romantic life, Aries. Exes might have reappeared, and some friendships might have gone full-on rocky. As Mercury goes direct, you're being left with clarity around who to keep (and who not to keep) in your orbit. You now know that when it comes to friendship and matters of the heart, it's best to let your heart, and not your mind, lead the way.
Taurus
This retrograde of Mercury was about rethinking your life's foundation so that your career and other aspects of your life could thrive. As you dared to uncover certain truths, you're aware of what can remain a priority, and what needs to change. You are blessed with the truth about what you want to create in your life, and from there, elevate your career, business, and even the social role you play in the world.
Gemini
Mercury retrogrades are always transformational for you, but this one was about discovering a new dimension of your self-expression. You may have been encouraged to speak up and reconsider your stance on a significant issue. While intense, this process now leaves you more empowered to communicate and speak your truth, as well as with a new perspective on the world around you.
Cancer
For you, this retrograde had a practical focus, as it involved delving deeply into a money-related situation or the finances you share with others. Doing this work is never easy, but you are now blessed with the awareness that can only come from diving deep into all the numbers, expenses, and even the leaks you didn't know you had. Knowing where you fully stand financially can only lead to reaching your new financial goals.
Leo
Congratulations, Leo! This retrograde was no joke, as it pulled all the layers of your being. By shedding light on relationship dynamics, it exposed what (or who) you're no longer willing to move forward with. Your post-Mercury retrograde blessing comes in the form of a deep sense of liberation! You're now aware that, as you continue to sink deeper into your power, you're only attracting those who are willing to match that inner fire.
Virgo
This retrograde hit you where it matters the most, Virgo, as it taught you how to let go of control. You might have had the craziest dreams, losing hours of sleep—but in the end, you surrendered to the divine forces at play. It might feel like a huge weight has come off your shoulders, blessed with the ability to flow more easily. When Mercury visits your sign soon, between September 2 and September 18, you get to reap the rewards of this new attitude towards life.
Libra
Mercury retrograde may have brought the realization that you've been playing small when it comes to realizing your dreams. In reality, Libra, this might be due to your deepest desires going through a process of transformation. The gift Mercury's direct turn offers you is the realization of how much bolder your wish list looks now, and now, your focus is on bringing it to fruition.
Scorpio
Welcome back, Scorpio! Mercury's retrograde helped you discover which fears and conditioning were holding you back in life. Seeing your biggest insecurities staring you in the face wasn't easy, but necessary. After these eye-opening realizations about your past and your present, you're feeling inspired to set goals for a brilliant future. Like the phoenix, you're prepared to begin rising from the ashes!
Sagittarius
As Mercury goes direct, you're closing a probing and philosophical time that was all about realizing the world around you is changing at a rapid speed. Old belief systems were shattered, making room for new ones to be created. For you, Sagittarius, Mercury's direct blessing comes in the form of room for growth when it comes to adapting your approach to life to the changing times.
Capricorn
This Mercury retrograde was deep, as it invited you to analyze one of your closest relationships. This week-long process may have brought a sense of coldness to your connection, which seemed confusing at times. However, in reality, it was a much-needed reset, as it helped you unearth information and feelings that had been beneath the surface. You're now aware that the bond you share with that special someone is stronger and deeper than it was before.
Aquarius
The last few weeks brought you realizations about the people with whom you surround yourself. Some might have experienced a reset, a rekindling, and perhaps even an ending. The gift you are receiving is the realization that your true desire is to connect with fewer people, at a much deeper level. After all, you're changing, growing, and evolving like you never did before, Aquarius.
Pisces
Pay close attention to all the subtle signs and visions you receive, Pisces, especially if they arrive when you expect them the least. Some of the dreams and perceptions that might have seemed wacky at first are now beginning to make sense. If you begin putting them in place now, you might uncover a juicy life hack or crack the code of a work-related situation that previously puzzled you.
