Dates to see: July 18th – August 11th, 2025
theme: Pride, performance, and the art of being less
Reminder: You don’t need to send all the text. Not all sources need to be reconsidered. Not all dramatic monologues belong to Instagram.
Mercury officially moonwalks Leo, but we know what it means: big declarations, greater regrets, and occasionally accidental original texts. Leo rules pride, passion, performance, and hair main character Even when you’re spiraling inside. When the mercury is reversed here, the atmosphere is precisely messy in those arenas. It’s especially about communication, attention, and the stories we (and others) tell us (and others), about how wonderful, desirable, or tragically misunderstood.
This retrograde is not here to ruin your life. It’s here to check your ego before your ego sends another dangerous DM. Think of it as a rehearsal of a space dress: you review script, revision Plot line, and I’ll reconsider Who deserves a front row seat to your drama.
How Leo’s Mercury Retrogrades affect your signs
Aries
Not every fight is worth winning. Mercury is stirring your pots in your fun, romance and creativity zones, but remember: the impulsivity of ego fuel burns faster than your fire signs. Triple check these texts. If you are seduced to make someone a ghost after an annoying emoji… pause. The drama is free, but maturity is valuable.
Taurus
The house is where misconceptions live. Family feuds, old wounds, passive aggressive fridge notes are more likely than they are now. Breathe. This retrograde doesn’t mean that everyone else is asking to fix it. It reminds you to protect your own peace. Revisit your boundaries, not your ex-le mate’s complaints.
Gemini
Is Mercury on your ruler retrograde? Also? Shocker. This round hits hard in the communication zone. Double booking, email failings, misunderstood irony is the risk. As an advantage, it is a great opportunity to rewrite, reconstruct and revisit what Really I need to say it. Spoiler: That’s less than you think.

Money Lecture – But this month we may be talking nonsense. Beware of the big spending, financial promises and texts to your ex about splitting rent “for the old days.” Revisit your budget, reflect on your value, and stop trying to prove your worth through gifts and grand gestures.
Leo
Congratulations! You are this particular star of chaos. Mercury flips your signs over and forces you to speak, guide and reconsider your performance. It’s not about playing smaller, it’s about being clearer. Restructure your self-talk. Edit the elevator pitch. And, to love everything with confidence, reread the caption before you post.
Virgo
Your inner critic is working overtime, but not everything needs to be fixed right now. This retrograde drags your subconscious habits into the spotlight. Older patterns of perfection, boundaries and burnout have risen for reviews. Rest, retreat, reset before your brain spirals into unnecessary problem-solving mode.
Libra
Friends, exes, group chat, ah. Mercury is stirring up your social life – with lost invitations in spam folders, you feel a little better. Reconnect with people Really Get you and fade superficial connections. The quality of the quantity is not just about skin care.
Scorpio
Career disruption or clarity? It depends on how pride you take in the office. Retrograde energy falls in your reputation zone: realize that you are misunderstanding with your boss, missteps in public, or that you are aiming for a goal that isn’t yours anymore. Retreat, reevaluate, rewrite the story.
Sagittarius
Your big ideas may need more research. This retrograde influences travel, education, and what you feel is “philosophical.” Flight booking? Please read the detailed print. Sermon online? Double check the source. Your wisdom is solid, but your delivery may require a little more delicate (or fact-checking).
Capricorn
Shared resources, debt, inheritance, or joint Netflix accounts with your ex are all amazing now. It highlights Mercury’s issues of trust, financial intertwining, and pride that keeps you stuck. Clean the documents. Make the combo clear. Don’t talk to assumptions.
Aquarius
Partnerships (Romantic, Business, or BFF) are under review. If you assume people are reading your mind, false communication flare. Tip: They don’t. Make your needs clear, renegotiate your expectations, and don’t choose to fight just because you feel they are often overlooked. Not all disagreements are betrayal.
Pisces
Your daily routine is more confusing than usual. Lost keys, high tech glitch, scheduling fails. It gives you a “requires vacation.” Reconstruct this as a streamlining time rather than a spiral. Focus on what’s really essential. Your nervous system will thank you.
TL; DR: Leo’s mercury = less dramatic monologues. More thoughtful editing.
Your Universe Homework: Don’t talk too much, listen more, and reconstruct it frequently. And maybe even after I stopped dyeing my hair August 11th.
