of already some stress and tension occurring the last couple of weeks as Mercury started to slow down to turn retrograde on Wednesday in the fire sign of Leo be prepared for the weeks ahead.... You will be wanting to get things done, but things may not go to plan and can make you end up feeling anxious and a little gloomy, worrying about how you are ever going to get everything done. Try to de stress, stay calm and look after yourself, and remember sometimes things in life happen for a reason! 

As mercury retrogrades in the fire sign of Leo, there will be no let up with this heat! in fact it may increase, causing more bush fires and volcanos, causing disruption with travel. Self expression can be rather dramatic and ego will be at play, for some they may feel very confident to the point of being bolshy, yet others may feel like hiding away. We will learn a lot about our creativity and self expression during this time.  If you are feeling tired or under the weather, its ok to admit it and take some time out to rest. With Mercury in Leo, and Mars in Aquarius Fire and air signs might be feeling they can rule the world right now and feel active, but earth and water signs will feel drained and maybe a little negative. Listen to your body. recharge, relax, restore.  Whichever sign you are, just be aware that others may be needing a little support right now.   https://www.intuitsoul.co.uk/2018/06/24/mars-retrograde-26th-june-august-27th-2018/https://www.intuitsoul.co.uk/2018/06/24/mars-retrograde-26th-june-august-27th-2018/

 

What does retrograde mean? retrograde literally means backward, although this does not mean that mercury is going backwards...from our perspective on Earth however, there are times where we more slower or faster than the "retrograde" planet.

Mercury is the planet that rules communication, so what tends to happen during this period is a communication breakdown between people, contracts, computers, electrics, travel etc etc.............so be aware that during this period that people cancel appointments, there are looonnnggg delays with transport, letters do not arrive, you can not get hold of someone, people can say things without thinking or act out of character, people from the past often reappear, but may disappear just as quickly when mercury turns forwards. This period doesn't have to be negative though. its a great time to do anything re! Repair.......relationships, your car, objects...... Rest.....it's perfectly ok to take some time out at this time. Revisit that project you never finished. Repeat is always a theme of mercury retrograde, there is no harm in going over things again, as you may spot that mistake or have a breakthrough.

 

 

How is it going to affect you personally? Depending which house mercury is in can affect us all slightly differently.
