Prepare to live out loud and express yourself when Mercury enters Leo

Prepare to roar!

Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, will spin like a fire dancer in the center of the ring as he parades into the kingdom of Leo. This will begin on July 19 and last until August 3, 2022.

With Mercury in Leo, we will crave to express ourselves as vividly and boldly as possible. However, this could just as well make us much more dramatic!

We will feel more uplifted and exuberant. Mercury, the planet of the mind, is a logical, communicative, and fast-moving planet, which means that when it is in a Fire sign, it can function especially brightly. All of our communication, words and ideas will spark just as wind takes flame to create a wildfire.

We will feel grand and flamboyant during this time, eager to announce ourselves, our opinions, and our egos to the world. We will possess great mental confidence to express ourselves more theatrically, persuasively and passionately than any other time of the year. During Mercury’s flight through Leo, promoting oneself and delivering bold declarations at maximum volume will empower your ability to manifest what you wish.

Keep in mind that being public with news will bring great attention—for good or for worse. Proof and facts are less important during this time because impressive words, visuals and theatrics will hold more power. This will affect us both personally and professionally. Use this energy to bring more entertainment, laughter and high levels of energy into your life. Remember to share your light with the world.
