Mercury → Leo
June 26 2025 3:09pm ET
Mercury is in Leo now and guess what? Your opinions are suddenly louder than your self-doubt and dressed like they’re attending a royal gala on Mars. You’re not communicating—you’re commanding.
This transit didn’t just shift your thoughts; it gave them a spotlight, a soundtrack, and a script rewrite with sassier dialogue. Whether you're texting like a poet or defending your snack preferences like you're on trial at The Hague, this is bold-speech, big-lion energy. Your brain has entered its performative era, and there's no going back.
This is not the vibe for soft whispers or subtle side-eyes. This is “mic in hand, spotlight on, cue the dramatic soliloquy” energy. Mercury—the planet of communication, tech, thoughts, and texts—just rolled into Leo’s lair, and let’s be clear: everything you're thinking suddenly wants to be said, sung, or screamed... with perfect lighting.
Your opinions are now art, your jokes are TED Talks, and your rants come with dramatic pauses and lighting cues.
That thing you’ve been scared to say? Mercury in Leo dares you to say it louder. And then say it again, but with better posture and direct eye contact.
Right after the emotional softness of that Cancer New Moon, this shift feels like ripping off a wet blanket and throwing on a gold cape. You’re ready to roar.
The courage to tell the truth is strong right now—but so is the temptation to turn that truth into a three-act play with a villain arc and a twist ending.
Yes, your voice matters, but if you start monologuing over other people at brunch, Mercury in Leo has officially gone rogue.

That earlier spark from Uranus has cracked open your brain like a piñata—don’t be surprised if you blurt out something strange and brilliant while making toast.
You’re thinking in glitter right now. Even your complaints have a flair for the theatrical.
Creative inspiration hits hard. Song lyrics? Full journal pages? Passive-aggressive Instagram captions that feel like Shakespeare wrote them in your Notes app? All of it.
There’s a real chance you're about to post something vaguely inspirational and extremely self-centered. Do it. Just know someone’s definitely rolling their eyes—and that's part of the show.
You want to be understood, not just heard, but also… mostly heard. Bonus points if someone claps.
Leo’s influence is brave, bold, and big-hearted—Mercury here gives you permission to say what needs to be said, as long as you can resist burning the whole group chat down in the process.
Mercury’s retrograde is coming, and since it's all going down in Leo, you might want to keep receipts on those dramatic declarations you’re making now. There will be a part two. Possibly with tears.
The Sun giving a little motivational nudge to Mars means your ego isn’t just loud, it’s efficient. Channel that hype into something helpful—like finally organizing your chaos or tenderly bossing someone around.
Venus is on her nostalgic BS again, offering up soft relationships, indulgent vibes, and emotional reruns that weirdly hit better the second time around.
Just because it feels easy doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Sometimes the path of least resistance is the right one, especially when it leads back to something that made you feel warm and powerful before.
But the North Node is tugging at your sleeve like, “hi bestie, evolve.” So if that old thing doesn’t grow with you, it might be time to love it and leave it.
There’s magic in surrender right now. Not giving up, just giving in—to something deeper, more soulful, more aligned with the fire inside you.
Neptune just dipped into Aries and your dreams are now action movies. You're not imagining the push toward newness—it’s real, and it’s probably got a flaming sword.
Mercury’s upcoming alignment with Neptune is pure creative gasoline. Watch for a whisper, a line, a lyric, or a strange little signal that lights your brain up like a firework. That’s the muse. Pay attention.
This Leo season isn’t about shrinking to be liked—it’s about expanding to be understood. Say the thing. Shine anyway. Be too much.
