YOUR Mercury in Leo HOROSCOPE

How this transit affects your day-to-day life and conversations.

What: Mercury in Leo

When: July 2 - July 25, 2024

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but especially Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) 

Takeaway: Fun, fiery communications and inspired ideas

    ⭐ It’s SHOWTIME! On July 2, mind-planet Mercury enters feisty and focused fire sign Leo, igniting your communications, interactions and day-to-day life. At least until July 25. So from now until then, your conversations, interactions, routine, and hunger for the spotlight get turned up to 11.

     If you read my article about Mercury, then you know that Mercury rules writing, learning, speaking, tech and communications, including texts, DMs, phones, the media, etc. But did you know that Mercury is ALSO the megaphone, microphone, and messenger planet? This planet is ALL about announcing, sharing, recording and receiving information. In all forms, be it written, verbal, on TV, the internet…you get the idea.

     And let me just say that this transit of Mercury in the Sun-ruled sign is Major. Why, you ask? Why is Mercury in Leo more important, special, or MAJOR than other Mercury transits?

     Um, I can’t believe you asked that. LEO is what makes 2024 Mercury in Leo so special and SO MAJOR. Leo is the zodiac’s big cat! Leo is the ruler of the jungle, the world and the universe! Leo is the STAR of the show! (And don’t you forget it.) So, when the messenger planet enters the fixed, fierce fire sign, it’s like giving a stage to an actor: expect a show.

     For realsies, though: 2024 Mercury in Leo is THE transit for self-promoting, for tooting your own horn, and for infusing a little bit of spice and melodrama into your everyday routine, texts, or chit-chats. (Cue the emojis: 🎉 🌶️ ⭐ ✨)

     It’s also a transit that gives you a little more courage and confidence to speak your mind, pursue your passions and entertain the hell out of your bold ideas, razor-sharp observations, and funny anecdotes. So, grab that podcast microphone and share your story! Take to TikTok to shake it for your followers! And whatever you do: don’t shy away from self-promotion. (Seriously, this transit is really great for that. Especially around July 8, when Mercury sextiles Jupiter in Gemini, because Mercury RULES Gemini…) 

     Of course, there is a caveat or two to 2024 Mercury in Leo: the planet opposes Pluto Rx on July 2/3, enters its pre-retrograde shadow phase on July 16, AND squares Uranus on July 21. So, messups, typos, and maybe a liberating conversation (or two) is likely. But anyway, how exactly 2024 Mercury in Leo affects YOU depends entirely on your Sun / Rising sign. So, without further ado:
