Mercury the planet of literacy, intelligence, communication, way of thinking, way of talking and pronunciation. The planet that represents the young people , children, students, schools, etc. is moving into Leo after its Rx dance throughout Cancer. Mercury is in detriment when it comes to sign of Leo.
Let’s explain what it means for a planet to be in detriment. Detriment for a planet means that the planet is not really functional in that sign. It can’t show its full potential and its irritated by the process of flowing through it.
Here is the exact moment when Mercury came into Leo:
Mercury just finished its retrograde journey in Cancer. Still picking up the speed and still putting things on its own course. The first aspect that Mercury will build is a square with Chiron and sextile with Venus. Venus rules Taurus so we have a chance to hang onto this aspect and apologise to people that we did wrong. The tricky part of this attempt to apologise is an opposition with Pluto. In the process of apologising or putting thoughts and words into its own place the situation can easily escalate if harm was too big and unbearable.
With this being said, if you are planning to mend things up, approach the situation with pure kind hearted intention and patience. Evade harsh words and hang onto the sextile with Venus. Mending up the relationships could be very successful.
Next aspects that Mercury will build is trine with Neptune and sextile with Uranus. These aspects are amazing for writers, columnists and media outlets. Everything that was standing in one place will pick up traction in the coming days. Even Mercury is in detriment in Leo these kind of aspects can bring a lot of genius ideas , especially if you find yourselves under pressure. If you are planning to finish your PhD thesis, seminars , come up with the plans , lectures or anything that is connected with writing you should finish it in the next week before Mercury starts to build more complicated aspects.
From this transit people who were born in these signs will benefit the most or having placements from 0 degree until 20th degree of Leo, Aries, Sagittarius, Libra and Taurus. People with Mercury in Aquarius could be challenged but with a lot of faith they will prevail the challenges upon them.
Next aspect that Mercury will build is a conjunction with Jupiter on 10th degree of Leo on 15th of August. This could work two ways:
Either it gives you amazing achievements and abundance when it comes to intellect and in your branch and field of interests. Use this conjunction to create and to expand your field of expertise. Genius ideas for sure can follow. Because this conjunction happens in Leo and Jupiter and Mercury will be building a trine with Saturn that is in Aries , all of the work , ideas and momentum will have longevity. These opportunities will waver more to Mercury placements that have a square with this conjunction or opposition. If the question is why , that’s because in order to tame Jupiter’s abundance and expansion energy you need to be called out by it. There has to be friction in order to use this energy properly.
Now I am coming to the second thing that can happen. With this conjunction comes ego in its full speed and power. Here we have to be very cautious that the ego and craft don’t spill into arrogance and ignorance. Let’s not forget , Mercury is still in Leo. Detriment position is still pulling the energy of the planet. Jupiter is viewed as a most beneficial planet of horoscope. But I beg to differ , Jupiter expands everything good and bad. Here we have to be very rational not to become delusional about our projects. This scenario can easily happen to people that have placements building a trine to this conjunction. Please, keep in mind that feeling of ecstasy can turn easily in a short moment of hype and a disaster.
Next aspect will be an exact trine with Saturn, if the projects were accomplished with heart and soul, results are going to be awarded in years to come. When it comes to amount of work put into the projects, we have to really invest everything that we got in order to last. This trine happens between two planets in detriment positions. More energy is needed for both to be activated.
After Mercury passes 20th degree of Leo, KAZIMI will be activated. Kazimi of a planet happens when it starts to build a conjunction with the Sun. This is where Mercury will definitely lose its power. There won’t be any valuable aspects to support its movement throughout Leo.
In this time the communication and flow of informations will start to bug. Overwhelmed of the Sun’s presence there will be miscommunications and more tense discussions. This will all change when the exact conjunction of Sun and Mercury happens in Virgo.
Until Mercuries transit in Virgo,
