Mercury Retrograde in Leo Horoscopes: What’s Your Drama?

Mercury Rx is back and strutting through Leo in all their dazzling, chaotic glory

Yep, it’s that time again.

The Mercury Rx urge to reflect, reframe, and redo what’s asking for attention in our lives.

It’s a vibe check — particularly in the ways you’re moving and communicating in the world. And because it’s in Leo, how you’re expressing yourself — authentically or not in the wolrd.

This retrograde isn’t here to ruin you, it’s here to help you remember how fabulous yet fallible life is.

Sure, you’ll curse that text sent to the wrong person (just don’t let it be a sext to your family group text) and travel plans that go bust.

Mistakes will be made. Laugh. Apologize.

Read the fine print. Double check the details. Try not to take it too seriously.

Reorient yourself toward the direction you actually want to be headed in.

This time, it’s personal.

Lol, but really — how you show up, speak, and lead is going through a review. Identity crisis? Ego bruised? Perfect. It’s time to reclaim your real voice and let go of performative perfection. This retrograde’s got your name written in sparkly lights. Your identity, voice, and presence are all up for reimagining. What needs a rewrite in your self-expression story? Glitches in communication might feel extra personal (they are). But they’re also clues.

Rx Lesson: Your power isn’t in the polish — it’s in the truth. Reclaim the mic.
Rx Vibe: Mirror pep talks, style refinement, and unapologetic selfies.
