Mercury Enters Leo

Today, the planet of communication, information, and expression, re-enters into the fiery, brave and bold sign of Leo. Most of us will barely remember Mercury entering Leo the first time around on June 26th, because so much has gone down since then, it literally seems like a life time ago.

But, only a month ago we actually got a taste of what Leo does to the way we express ourselves when we finally stood up and spoke up about our feelings. Mercury in Leo honours the heart-space, speaks one's truth, lives more authentically, sparks new creative and romantic passions, and has fun, acting playful and lively, with a child-like energy. Because Leo is the performer of the zodiac and tends to be a bit dramatic in taking over the spotlight, we will likely feel a strength to want to be heard and seen.

Mercury rules the mental plane, and since Mercury came out of retrograde, it's been deep in the emotional and intuitive waters of Cancer, trying to mend fences and repair hearts from the chaos created while retrograde.

So here we go again.

Leo energy makes us bold, brave and confident under this influence and we aren't afraid to speak up and speak out on our truths. It's great timing actually to emerge from the darkness of emotions over the last few months, and REALLY stand up proud! Whatever it is you've been afraid to talk about or hesitant in expressing outwards, will be the topic and theme of your truth as you are being encouraged to let it all out.

A lot of difficult truths were revealed while Mercury was in Cancer. The retrograde caused hurt feelings that we all tried so hard to avoid. We are so passionate about sharing our truths with Mercury in Leo, and our new truths have yet to be told.

Again, we need to remind ourselves of the few cautions that come with this energy.

Caution #1: Because we are all fired up and wanting center stage, listening isn't our best quality. We are so eager to have our voice heard that we may not be actually listening to those looking to express themselves, and instead we could be very rude and cut them off, or only "listen" to what they have to say waiting for our opportunity to speak. We are crappy listeners under this influence and that in itself might cause hurt feelings.

Caution #2: This energy influence makes us have the tendency to ramble on long after we've made our point and deliver our truth. Whatever it is you are brave enough to now talk about, needs all the attention it can get. Don't ruin the impact of your words being expressed by rambling on about it. Recognize when your message has been received and cut yourself off.

Caution #3: Because we are still under Mercury's retrograde shadow (until the 15th) we are still in clean-up mode trying to fix what was broken under the retrograde energy. This means that there is a fairly good chance that we may have to revisit what we spoke about under this energy influence to pick up some pieces or clean up the aftermath of our truthful expression at a time when emotions weren't clearly understood. This is just another reason to formulate what you want to say in your head, and then allow the brilliant Mercurial energy to analyze and edit the best way to deliver it all, and know when it cut it short.

Venus Enters Leo

Venus, the Goddess of love, money, and long-term commitment moves into the fiery and passionate sign of Leo today. Venus had a hard go in Cancer as she spent many months crying herself to sleep, rebuilding herself from disappointments from the heart, and reeling from the changes that took place within the family dynamic of the home. She spent most of the eclipse season feeling less than and broken. And now that the watery, tearful season is behind her, she can't wait to pick up the mood and dive into the passion of Leo.

Both Venus and Leo love love. They both want to find that special someone and connect on all levels. If you are single, you could find a very intense romance unfold under this energy. If you are already coupled, you will see a resurgence of romance and flirty fun. This is a time where we move forward with an open heart as we just released huge weights and energetic blocks from our heart chakra.

Love will be the focus during Leo season, as we reconnect with what we are passionate about. Creative projects will be reignited and anything that triggers an intense emotion will want to be expressed and shared.

Venus also wants to focus on her money. Although she is feeling good, positive and confident under this energy, she has a tendency to be a bit to generous and in turn overspend on things that don't really make sense to her long-term commitment and goals.

Venus is always thinking about the future. Even though her hair is down and she's dancing her little heart out under this Leo energy, she is still evaluating what means the most to her as far as her long-term commitment and values go. Any decisions that need to be made under this influence will have a light-heartedness to it to prevent you getting bogged down with the seriousness and responsibility of having to make major life decisions. The good news is, anything trivial that has the potential to drag us down will be tackled with a much more positive and optimistic mind frame. We are finding new worth in our relationships, in how we make our money, and how we are planning for the future.

There are some cautions that come with this energy. Because Venus takes love, money, and commitment very seriously, we have to make sure we don't become overly dramatic in our interactions. We want to avoid over dramatizing ourselves and over sharing our emotions. Of course we don't want to over spend, or commit to anything that our heart doesn't agree with. This is definitely a time where you need to let your heart lead the way.

Welcome To Leo Season

Today the Sun, our vital life force, moves into its place of power and comfort in Leo. Leo is an fire energy, very much focused on the matters of the heart, where love, passion, and expression reigns. Leo is represented by the lion and demands the same kind of regal attention. It represents strength, pride, and passion in all forms.

The Sun moving from Cancer to Leo is a welcomed changed by all. The Cancer season topics and themes of the home and family dynamic had many of us broken hearted on some level. We got double-whammied with the eclipses and having us beat and broken down before we could breakthrough and emerge as the king of the jungle we actually are.

Leo season will bring romance, (the fun, playful kind), to the forefront. We want what the heart wants and the heart wants to be loved! We want to be acknowledge and appreciated. We want to be applauded for all we've gone through. We want to stand on the center stage with the spotlight on us, and relish in the attention. This is a time where our romantic relationships and our creative projects will thrive. Anything that we are passionate about will take the limelight, and with the roar of the lion encouraging us to express ourselves in whatever ways we need, will not only be heard, but will be accepted.

Our playful sides shine under this energy, and we want to have fun! We are generous with our time and attention, and also with our money which you should be cautious about. Our fun-loving, free flowing spirit may spend money that we actually don't have.

Although this energy will pick us up and give us a strength we've been lacking, it does come with some cautions. Because the Leo energy is loud and demands attention, we could find ourselves acting overly dramatic and emotional about things that there's just no need of. We are seeking attention any way we can with this energy so be cautioned that your not looking for attention in the wrong ways. We could become overly expressive, oversharing, over emoting, and taking the lead role in our own play just a tad bit too far.

Because this Leo energy won't really be at it's most powerful until after the 8th of August, be cautious of how the ebb and flow of emotions actually effect you. We are still purging some pain from our heart-space while we are distancing ourselves from the Cancer and eclipse season. We have once last cry in us before emerging as the powerhouse we are after the first week of August.

Watch out for the wounded lion, as they tend to lash out causing damage to those around them before they retreat to lick their wounds. You'll want to exercise damage control when emotions are high and tempers are flaring. Regardless of how the lion within you feels at this moment, please know that you will be feeling a sense of power and strength within you once we get the first week of August under our belt.

Mars Enters Leo

When Mars the planet of energy, drive, action, passion, and anger moves from the emotional, family dynamic of Cancer, to the bold and fearless sign of Leo, we are taking the spotlight in a brand new way.

We will see our confidence get a huge boost as the lion within us all comes roaring from the darkness of the cave only to remind everyone of the power of the pride still shines strong. We've done a lot of inner healing, recognizing where we needed to release our fears, releasing the power and control we exert on making sure that we are always the leader of the pack.

Now that we've licked our wounds and have put ourselves back together after sitting in darkness, we are ready to resume the spotlight and bring our best selves out to shine. We have renewed our strength and are coming back into the world with a boldness and fearlessness that we haven't had before. We find strength in expressing ourselves, telling our truths and honouring our heart. We aren't shy anymore, we're not trying to hide.

Now we are ready to bring our true and raw talents to center stage. We want to be seen, we want to show the world what we are capable of, and we will stop at nothing to get the attention we deserve.

Our playful sides come back to lighten the mood of the situations that have weighed us down. We are seeing the sparks fly in our romantic relationships and in our creative projects. We have a self-confidence within ourselves that we haven't had before. It's time to go after what it is you want in life, speak your truth, and stop at nothing until you honour yourself and actually succeed in been the shining star that you are.

Mercury Enters Leo

Today, the planet of communication, information, and expression, moves into the fiery, brave and bold sign of Leo. Leo is a fire sign and honours the heart-space. Leo is about speaking one's truth, living authentically, creative and romantic passions, and a fun, lively, child-like energy.

Leo is the performer of the zodiac, and tends to be a bit dramatic in their storytelling once they've taken over the spotlight. Because Mercury rules the mental plane, we've likely been debating big ideas in our heads, and trying to bite our tongues during conversations while Mercury was in soft, emotional and intuitive Cancer. But Leo energy makes us bold, and brave. We get confident under this influence and we aren't afraid to speak up and speak out on our truths.

Whatever it is you've been afraid to talk about or hesitant in expressing outwards, will be the topic and theme of your truth as you are being encouraged to let it all out.

A lot of difficult conversations were avoided while Mercury was in Cancer. We were so concerned with hurting other people or upsetting them with our words, that we actively avoided expressing ourselves. That all gets tossed out the window as Mercury moves into Leo, as we are so passionate about sharing our stories we aren't really concerned with how it will effect those that hear what we have to say.

There are a few cautions that come with this energy. Because we are all fired up and wanting center stage, listening isn't our best quality. We are so eager to have our voice heard that we may not be actually listening to those looking to express themselves, and instead we could be very rude and cut them off, or only "listen" to what they have to say waiting for our opportunity to speak. We are crappy listeners under this influence and that in itself might cause hurt feelings.

Another caution about this energy influence is the tendency to ramble on long after we've made our point and deliver our truth. Whatever it is you are brave enough to now talk about, needs all the attention it can get. Don't ruin the impact of your words being expressed by rambling on about it. Recognize when your message has been received and cut yourself off.

The third factor of this energy, is that Mercury will go retrograde next week, giving us an opportunity to revisit past situations, re-edit how we handled them, and revise the closure we need to provide in order for it to be settled. This means that there is a fairly good chance that we may have to revisit what we speak out about under this energy influence to pick up some pieces or clean up the atfermath of our truthful expression at a later date. This caution is just another reason to formulate what you want to say in your head, allow the brilliant Mercurial energy to analyze and edit the best way to deliver it all, and know when it cut it short.
