Mercury goes Retrograde in the sign of Leo, the Lion on July 17th at 11:44 pm EDT and will stay in retrograde position until August 10th.
Mercury (planet of communication) in Leo (fire sign) will shift your focus in stating what you want and setting time markers on when it should occur. This is the time to do a re-think on how we are projecting ourselves to the World. This is about bringing out your own personality, your creativity, and being authentic to yourself. What do you have to say? This is the time where your inner self and your outward expression merges. Your lesson is to Reclaim Your Voice and Take Back Your Life.
This doesn’t come easy as miscommunications may occur where your ego or past performances had shaded your vulnerability and authenticity. Old issues, delayed projects and ambitions that were forgotten may reappear, which gives you a time to revisit and decide on whether you should continue to give it energy. Pay attention to what comes up unexpectedly. Even old situations or issues pop up out of nowhere but pay attention to the hidden messages they bring. These events carry the seeds towards your transformation of your creative and personal expressive self.
During that time, we will be hosting the Lion’s Gate Candle Ritual on August 8, 2025, This event is limited to 12 participants this year as I am going to do a more intensive ritual for those who want to harness that fiery Leo energy to spark a fire under their project or new lifestyle.
Mercury goes Direct on August 11th, so our Lion’s Gate Ritual will be burning in the midst of this change to boost the energy of leadership and creativity is not about pleasing “the masses”, but walking in your own Truth. Use this Mercury Retrograde and Lion’s Gate Candle Service to reconnect with your passion, reclaim your voice, and secure that what you bring to the World is both authentic and meaningful to all.
