Mercury Retrograde in the sign of Leo is happening later this week (July 18) and you’re going to have to keep your ego in check throughout this astrological phenomenon. Egos are going to be fragile all around and you may want to take a step back from the spotlight to avoid the pressures of having to keep a fun and strong facade. Learn to keep your cool at this time, avoid unnecessary drama, refrain from falling for things that look too good to be true, and don’t overpromise.
Here’s what this Mercury Retrograde in Leo has in store for each sign this week:
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
You are finding it difficult to stay positive amid misfortunes and mistakes you’ve made, but you need to hold onto hope that these setbacks are only temporary. Stay patient and push through! Take things one step at a time, appreciate the blessings you do have, and enjoy the journey. Eventually, the fog will clear and you will see the path ahead, which will lead you to where you need to be.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You are committed to living the best life possible, and this means staying open and hungry for opportunities that may come your way. Have confidence in your capabilities in handling any challenging situation and solving problems with grace. Bravely face your fears! But remember also to always listen to your inner voice and know your limits.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
You may have recently experienced something painful and it hasn’t been easy to get over the hurt. But all pain is temporary and you are strong enough to survive this. Welcome the lessons that this situation has brought you and take this time to heal. Give yourself that self-care. Cry it all out if you have to! Feelings are not a sign of weakness.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
You may have been stretching yourself too thin lately as you try to juggle so many things at once. You are also probably putting others’ needs before your own, compromising your own happiness and growth. You need to face this issue so you can nip it in the bud rather than try and avoid it entirely. Also remember to check in with yourself from time to time so you don’t emotionally explode when things don’t go your way again
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You may be struggling to overcome conflicts within you and around you at this time, and you need to address them so you can move on to a place that will make you feel more at ease to be your true self. As long as you stay authentic, you will achieve balance in all areas of your life, gain that sense of fulfillment you so badly want, and be completely satisfied with where you’re headed. Good things are coming—be grateful!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
In your desire to chase your creative dreams, you must also remember that you shouldn’t attempt to do it all in one go. Juggling all these different responsibilities will actually hurt you rather than help you toward your goals! Take things one step at a time and know what’s worth focusing on. Don’t ever ignore your physical, mental, and emotional needs!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
You’re feeling so exhausted by the number of things you’re juggling just to achieve a sense of fulfillment, but are you truly doing things that give you joy? You need to know where to invest your time and effort best. Not everything is worth doing. Listen to what your heart wants for you and let go of whatever’s just depleting your energy.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
In everything that you do, you have to do it with sound judgment and authenticity. There will be lots of noise around you and you just have to cut through it with clear, direct solutions. There are plenty of opportunities out there where you can share your talents and skills with the world, so be open to them and always remember what your big vision is for your life.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You are making steady progress towards your goals, driven by what lights your soul on fire. Always make sure that whatever you do is aligned with your intentions and avoid making promises you can’t keep. Don’t let fear of people’s judgment stop you from being who you are! Anticipate the opportunities that are coming and bravely face the challenges along the way.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Life feels particularly off balance at this time but this feeling is only temporary. Prioritize things that will give you joy and fulfillment so you can recenter yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! You can always survive through the tough times and come out stronger than before. Let go of any negative mindset that makes you feel like you aren’t enough. You are more capable than you know!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Your superiority complex can hurt the people around you, especially when you aren’t willing to listen and compromise. This may also be a reflection of your struggle to lose control over things or your indecision over where to go in life. Tune into your inner voice and let it lead you to where you need to be. Realize that you don’t have to trample over other people just to achieve your goals.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Change is coming whether you are prepared for it or not, and there’s no controlling its speed or intensity. Accept that everything happens for a reason and that this will only pave the way to where you’re meant to be. You have many options available, and you must decide which one is most fulfilling for you to take. Trust that this is exactly where you need to be!
