Mercury X Leo 2021 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
August 6, 2021On July 27th, 2021 Mercury left emotional and feely Cancer and made its way over to passionate, fiery Leo. This is quite the shift as we leave behind hypersensitivity and nostalgia and find ourselves feeling a bit feisty! Mercury is only on Leo for a hot second as it will transit out of this fire sign on August 11th, 2021.
Let’s see what’s up with this change, FireandLux Fam!
Whenever we have a fire sign involved in a transit, we know it’s gonna bring the heat! And this is no different.
Leo is the 5th sign of the zodiac and ruled by the Sun itself. Leo is a fixed fire sign, meaning they are the growers and the builders and they do that from inspiration. We love Leo for being bold, brave, grand, romantic and overall outstanding! They are incredible leaders and always stand out in a crowd. They have the kind of confidence most of us envy. They are also loyal, warm and extremely generous. But like all the other signs, they too have shadows. Since Leo is ruled by the Sun, who is the perceived center of the Universe, Leo has a little trouble seeing outside themselves and is unintentionally selfish. Their ego is also that thorn in their side if they don’t get it in check.
Mercury, as we all got the picture by now, rules over communication. It is how we process information, our thoughts, ideas, how we speak and write, the details of things, our schedules and routines and our higher consciousness.
It’s time to think big and bold, FireandLux fam!
Ideas will come in like lightning and spark something in you. You might find yourself exploring possibilities you never thought of before and taking the road less traveled. You also might feel way more confident in your communication. Your communication and thought process might also be a lot clearer since leaving Cancer which was very heavy and emotional. Leo has a way of illuminating things, in this case what Mercury represents. There will be no beating around the bush. Leo won’t waste any time and will get right to the point. Leo is also very warm hearted, so what they say and think, will actually come from the heart and be genuine.
Leo is a sign of determination and they can be a bit stubborn and a lot dramatic. They also won’t back down from a dispute, so we may have our hands full here. You add in that ego and resolutions might be quite difficult. Knowing this, perhaps we can recognize when we are being over dramatic and dial it back a bit. See things from the other person’s point of view or put ourselves in their shoes. Passion is wonderful but no one likes a diva or a drama queen. It’s way too much of an energy drain.
Overall, this quick transit has the power to shift our mindsets into places we haven’t explored yet and find inspiration that sparks our passion and fuels our fires!
