Mercury Making Moves in Leo, Opposes Pluto
Heads up! June 26 is a very busy day. Today, Mercury in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus at 29º, Venus in Taurus sextiles the North Node in Pisces at 21º, and the Sun in Cancer sextiles Mars in Virgo at 5º. Luckily, these sextiles are offering helpful and supportive energy for communicating and exchanging important information on how we can innovate current circumstances. This is a feeling of forward momentum based on the intentions of yesterday’s June 25 new Moon in Cancer. All of these sextiles involve planets in earth and water, so getting grounded with a sense of connection to our own inner life and empathy for others will go a long way as we move to take action. This day is filled with business, discussions, correspondences, activity, and overall, from business to pleasure, can be extremely productive. With Venus/North Node in the mix, the heart is pointing to the true path of the moment. Go that way. Don’t go for the distracting side quest. Significant progress for your current aims are available today with some intention and focus.
Also on June 26, Mercury moves into the sign of Leo, preparing to go retrograde later in July. Mercury moves out of water and into fire bringing inspired ideas, new confidence in a mindset or outlook, and a lot of social banter. Mercury in this position enhances storytelling, public speaking and performance. But what makes this transit so compelling? It can help us to speak from the heart. Live and direct. This is a passionate and direct position when it comes to communication and displays of affection. If we can let go of ego desires in intellectual and social matters and truly be ourselves, there is a magic to this transit that helps us discover more of who we are and what we enjoy. Mercury is interested in learning, after all. Pay attention to what styles, subjects and hobbies pop up now and throughout July and early August. They are important markers. In fact, when Mercury goes retrograde on July 17, we may be prompted to partake in creative endeavors we once were fond of but for some reason fell off. Pay attention to what sparks joy, and what kind of joy - be curious about this now. Because the retrograde will make you investigate this more deeply later.
On June 27, Mercury in Leo will trine Saturn in Aries at 1º and a few hours later on June 28, Mercury in Leo will trine Neptune in Aries at 2º. This is very helpful for progress, forward momentum, and for both dreaming and getting things done. Mercury trine Saturn offers some mental stability and fortitude. Mercury trine Neptune aids with creativity and inspiration. Having direct access to other realms and the imagination today proves helpful for problem solving in any scenario. If we are looking for solutions, we are able to find some.
On June 29, Mercury in Leo will oppose Pluto in Aquarius at 3º. Powerful standoffs, debates, arguments with themes around my way vs. your way and self vs. the group will for sure be popping off. How we should or should not be innovating collectively, technologically, socio-politically is super loud. A lot of people will want to talk about it, and public figures will be engaged. Tension, power struggles, and all matters of disagreement through the lens of communications, the media, and our own daily lives. Pluto is revealing something that may be difficult to look at, and Mercury may have very good points to counter, but both are in fixed signs, making compromise a tall order. Approach conflict with some humility. Speak with confidence from the heart. Listen to each other. Something important might be brought to the table, but it doesn’t mean that we also have to sort it all out today.
