But This One Might Just Be The Reset You Needed š„š
Youāve probably heard all the usual things about Mercury Retrograde: donāt sign contracts, expect tech glitches, miscommunications, exes popping up, blah blah blah. But this retrograde isnāt here to ruin your life. Itās here to slow you down long enough so you can hear your damn self again.
Right now we are officially in the pre-shadow of Mercury Retrograde š« It officially goes retrograde on July 17, 2025, and lasts until August 10, 2025. That means now through mid-August, weāre getting a full-blown cosmic review. Donāt ignore it. Use it.
This Mercury Retrograde is in Leo ā¦bold, loud, heart-centered Leo āļø And Leo wants you to stop living for the world and start living for your soul. So before you go blaming this retrograde for your phone acting up, ask yourself... when was the last time you listened to your own inner fire?
Retrograde periods are reflection portals. They're not punishment. Theyāre divine check-ins. And if youāve been stalling, hiding, playing small, or ignoring your purpose, Mercury in Leo will not let you stay in that energy.
So what can it help you with?
⨠Rewriting your self-expression ⨠Reclaiming your creativity ⨠Fixing mindset leaks that kill your confidence ⨠Getting clear on your real voice, not your trauma voice ⨠Healing how you see yourself and how you let yourself be seen
Yup... visibility wounds, heart chakra blocks, fear of being too much ā all of it might come up. But itās not coming up to break you. Itās showing up so you can finally choose a different version of you.
Hereās what you can expect based on your rising sign:
