Good morning,
As I shared in my email to my subscribers:
Mercury Retrograde started on Thursday (early Friday morning for those on the East Coast) in the sign of Leo.
On social media Thursday, I shared that it was interesting to me how the path Mercury is taking now is very close to the one Mars traveled last year into the beginning of this year during his retrograde.
Will things that came up then—around your drive and determination—resurface during this retrograde, but now tied to your thoughts and how you communicate? Not sure!
What I do have is a way to help you process it through my free-to-download and use 3-Step Retrograde Activation Mini Workbook. If you'd like to grab it (and learn more about retrogrades), you can do that HERE.
Our New Moon Circle is Wednesday for the Leo New Moon, and this retrograde is definitely one we’ll be talking about—and finding in our charts too!
The New Moon officially happens on Thursday, and Part 2 of the week (which includes that energy) will be out Wednesday evening. If you’d like to be in the know before anyone else, you’re welcome to join us—details below ✨

✨ July 21, 2025
Curiosity may be calling—whether it’s about the world around you or your own family. The Moon is still in Gemini, ruled by retrograding Mercury, which could bring insightful dreams—especially with a 16 hour, 35 minute Void of Course period starting at 2:51 pm CT Monday.
If you’d like to remember your dreams, one trick I use is to ask my body before falling asleep: “If I’m meant to remember my dreams, please make it easy to do so.”
This is also the last full day of Cancer Season, so tenderness may rise to the surface. You might find yourself wanting to tidy up your space or connect more deeply with family.
✨ July 22, 2025
Leo Season officially begins today at 8:29 am CT, about an hour after the Moon moves into Cancer. It may feel like a slower-than-usual start to the season for three reasons:
We’re at the end of the moon cycle, so energy might feel low—even in this fun-loving sign.
Cancer Moons are sensitive and nostalgic, which may be especially felt at the beginning of Leo Season, especially if you're a parent.
Mercury is retrograding in Leo—not right where the Sun is, but close enough to influence the start.
Leo is the second of the Fire signs, and fire means action, movement, and sometimes a little drama 🙃
✨ A quick reminder:
Sun = your Chi & Life Force
Moon = your emotions & inner world
Rising = your soul & what you're growing into
Here’s how Leo energy shows up in each:
🌞 Leo Sun: Happy, warm, playful, and sometimes self-centered. Leo Suns shine naturally and love being in the spotlight. Learning that vulnerability is a strength is one of their greatest lessons.
🌙 Leo Moon: Emotionally passionate, driven to follow what lights you up. You likely crave excitement and may create your own if things feel dull. That zest for life is part of what makes you so magnetic.
🌅 Leo Rising: Often seen as lucky—especially with money, career, and friends. Leadership feels natural, and people follow your confident, likable energy. With Leo ruling children, you probably have a soft spot for them and love to spoil them, too!
✨ In Between the Moons, I’ll be sharing the specific area of life the Sun may be traveling through for you this Leo Season. You can learn more about that [HERE].
Do you see yourself in anything I shared above? I’d love to know!
