After three weeks retrograde, Mercury turns direct at 4 Leo, a pivot point not just for the week, but for August. More notably, Mercury switches gears opposite Pluto. Conversations run deep. Decisions transform. The hidden becomes revealed.
Mercury Retrograde is a yin phase, a time when the energy pulls inward in order for us to reflect, reconsider, and consult our intuition. We need Mercury Retrograde otherwise we wouldn’t have the opportunity to go back and rework old ideas and gain new perspectives.
That said, Mercury spends this week opposite Pluto. If Pluto is an evolutionary planet, then how we think, listen, and communicate needs to evolve. As a result, we may have to navigate some difficult conversations, but conversations that can ultimately be productive.
In other news, it’s worth mentioning that we are a month away from a lunar eclipse at 15 Pisces on September 7, our first eclipse in a series that includes a solar eclipse at 29 Virgo on September 21. With the Moon in Pisces today, take note of what themes or events come up for you. They may be a sign of events to come in September.
PS — I’m back after two weeks away. I was traveling abroad.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for August 12, 2025.
