The curtain rose today, August 8th, at 8:13 AM EDT
for Mercury to begin its "dramatic" transit through the ambitious, optimistic
sign of Leo ... FINALLY leaving Cancer after nearly 9 weeks due to its second retrograde journey for 2013, Mercury is ready to blaze through Leo as the mindset and communicating functions will most likely become "center stage" somewhere in your life for the next few weeks ... as Leo is a fire sign it will bestow Mercury with a lot of
creativity ... this Mercury is quite the performer who wants to get your
attention along with your admiration any way it can ... Mercury in Leo thinks
dramatically and always with the heart ... here one can become a visionary and
highly idealistic ... romantic attachments tend to take a major portion of ones
concentration ... there is a display of dignity, a sense of innate refinement,
and a desire to make good impressions on others ... there is also a desire to be
the authority in ones chosen field ... there is ability to solve problems, but
sometimes the details are ignored ... ambition abounds under this energy ... and
since this is a very dramatic energy for communication it should not be a
surprise that every now and then comes the tendency to exaggerate, be
self-centered, or tell a little white lie or two !!! ... entertainment could
easily be ones forte with dramatic talent being given here - ok all you wannabe
actors, now it's time to show us what you got ... this is often the natal
placement of those in the entertainment industry ... there could be skills at
sales, advertising, promotion or any means of persuading people with ones mind
and tongue ... there is also a desire to have ones thinking or style of
communication given a lot of attention ... speech is made with abundant energy,
great pride, liveliness and a lot of charisma ... drama and humor is frequently
used in communications ... learning is best achieved when one is aroused and
excited by a particular topic ... sometimes the ego has a way of getting
involved here which could lead to fixed thinking or limited objectivity ...
presentations are usually dramatic and magnetic ... one could become interested
in power, children, fame and creativity ... this Mercury is very strong in its
purpose but is still considered to be in its "fall" - as it is in opposition to the sign, Aquarius, where it is considered to be exalted - making the expression of its true nature somewhat difficult ... remember a planet in its "fall" is said to be like staying in someone else house where you do not feel very comfortable ... but there is still plenty of potential to be found with this placement of Mercury !!!
The lesson of Mercury in Leo is learning to instill our thinking process with ambition and creativity ... its the idea person ... one is usually proud of their intellectual talents and capabilities ... with the mind being so closely connected to the heart, there is great passion, strength and originality in the mode in which one thinks and communicates ... sometimes there is insecurity here which can lead to one coming on too strong or causing one to underestimate the power of their mind ...Mercury usually functions best when it is cool and detached from the ego, but this can become difficult in the self-conscious sign of Leo where personal aims and intentions appear to be to all-important and other important factors become far less important ... it is wise to realize that people give up trying to help others who always think they know better ... but ultimately, being able to combine ones own creative and enterprising mind with an awareness of others ideas and attitudes that are involved in your personal drama will benefit everyone ... problems are usually approached with great imagination and energy ... learning to use the input of others will allow one to avoid being a one-person endeavor, and then the mind will become a vital spark that will ultimately ignite a larger group endeavor ... the power of Mercury in Leo can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: mentally creative, distinctive verbal style, warmly articulate, identifies with popular ideas, grasps the entire issue, intellectually confident, focused concentration, fixed intentions, enthusiastic worker, convincing speaker, outspoken and optimistic, knows ones own mind, teaching and planning ability, foresight, executive mind
NEGATIVE: mentally conceited, liking the sound of ones own voice, only interested in ones own ideas, overlooks details, mentally arrogant, inflexible mind, stubborn and one-track mind, self-centered, feels superior at work, craves appreciation, verbally over-bearing, talks "AT" others, wrapped up in pet projects and theories
Mercury now joins the Sun which is already halfway through its transit of Leo ... Mercury, true to its fleet footed nature, will do a hop, skip and a jump through Leo as being back up to speed again after its recent retrograde period, it completes its transit through the sign of Leo in just 16 days on August 23rd ... now is the time to make good use of that New Moon energy in Leo that was "birthed" two days ago on the 6th - new ideas and projects just might have quite a theatrical air about them !!! ... and while Mercury is in Leo, we should remember that we should teach what we really want to learn ... we stand or we fall by what we say and how we say it ... do not ignore that "small still voice" that is an important part of the greater good ... one final word of advice - be aware that whatever springs from your lips is only as good and true as that which dwells in your heart ... so get out there, take center stage, and think big and then communicate with a dramatic flair !!!
