Who is She? Mercury in Leo

July 17 - August 11

This Mercury retrograde, connect with your inner authority.

Mercury Retrograde in Leo. A beautiful time to assess your relationship with your inner authority. Leo, ruled by Sol🌞, aligns with our self-leadership, our generosity, our creativity, our self-expression: how we show up in the world🦋. How we shine.💫

Reflection: Am I harnessing my own inner authority? Am I expressing myself, using my voice, and showing up in a way that comes from my soul, aligns with my purpose and reflects my true Self? Am I operating from my personal truth—authentically and honestly and passionately? How am I sharing my gifts🎁?

We don't call it Large-Hearted Leo for nothing. Acting, speaking, and creating from our own inner authority means we are nurturing a rich interior life, tuning into the downloads when they come, trusting our intuition, and our own beliefs, desires, conclusions.

Nurturing our inner authority is what we’re doing in the quiet moments—our meditation and mindfulness practices; our tai chi and our yoga; our salty, moonlit baths and moon cycle rituals🛀. Forest bathing, gardening, walking, and climbing. Observing. Reflecting. Nourishing. Storytelling. Listening👂. Resting. Creating🎨. Stargazing. Breathing. Loving💞.

It’s what we do when we recognize what is sacred💎. 

When we make space for awe🌈. 

When we cultivate our intuition🧿. 

When we embrace our insights💡. 

When we are present🧘‍♂️. 

We know what’s aligned with who we are and what’s not. We trust the Universe✨.

We do not bow down to societal expectations or anyone else's advice or opinions over our own intuition🚦—especially if they're not in harmony with what we KNOW to be true🌟.

Our inner authority also gives us permission to declare a clear hell no🔥.

Your own inner authority is exactly how it sounds🎤.
