Mercury in Leo: How It Affects Each Sign

From 2 to 26 July, Mercury will be in Leo, with a brief visit to Virgo up to 4 degrees, and will return to Leo from 15 August to 9 September. This period will strongly influence the zodiac signs and their decans in various ways. Mercury’s retrograde from 5 to 15 August will bring romance, unique ideas and reunions, especially for Gemini, Virgos, Pisces, Sagittarians and Taureans born in the first decan. Significant aspects, such as the Sun-Mercury conjunction and Mercury’s beneficial aspects with Chiron and Mars, will bring clarity and new perspectives.
