mercury rx in sidereal leo (august 23-september 15)

we’ve arrived to another doorway with mercury, who’s been in their pre-retrograde shadow since august 3 after entering sidereal leo on july 24. as shared in ‘in the heart of the sun’, “mercury in fixed fire promotes mental tenacity and the endurance needed to sit with ideas that need a little more time to marinate and be fleshed out … in leo, mercury is energized by the power of the sun, and this has both its pros and cons. pro: mental imagination is heightened and clarity comes in moments of acceptance. con: the heart and mind are feeding on one another, and it’s easy to become fixated on a singular idea or outcome, leading to a burning out of personal energy. mercury rx in sidereal leo is a wonderful time to pace yourself and to allow your heart and mind to experience the kind of nurture that makes you feel alive, capable, and bright.”
