We’re coming off the heels of a New Moon in Leo, and Mercury was quick to follow when it ingressed the sign of the Lion last Thursday, August 8th. Mercury in Astrology influences our style of communication. When you’re born, not only do you have a Sun sign (aka Zodiac sign), but you also have a Mercury sign that describes how you interact with others, process information and share knowledge. If you were born with Mercury in Leo, how you think and communicate are in line with the character traits of the sign; you’re bold, straightforward and even sometimes fixed on certain viewpoints. People have a tendency to hang on to your every word because you motivate them with your manner of speech and impassioned beliefs. Mercury’s transit through the sign of Leo will have similar effects on us down below, inspiring courage for any and all declarations, whether in private or in front of an audience. Just be mindful of self righteousness, and try to avoid bombastic comments that make you look more like an egomaniac instead of a wise and creative being. No matter what you decide to articulate this week and in the weeks ahead (Mercury will be in the sign of Leo through August 23rd), this is the week to express yourself.

On the day you were born, all of the planets were positioned in the signs of the Zodiac – not just the Sun. To find out more about your full astrological make up, email Tracey for a personal Astrology reading at tracey@randomnessofrudy.com.
Aries: You’ve got something to say Aries, and I’ve never known you to mince words (just like my sister who’s an Aries!). So…say it! Most likely this has to do with a romantic partner; you’re ready to either read him/her the riot act, or express your love. If your SO is not the one responsible for encouraging new ideas and fresh inspiration, then it is a creative project brewing in the back of your mind that is ready for discussion and feedback from others. Be brave and share your thoughts. What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Taurus: Taurus likes to keep life simple. You don’t care for a lot of fuss, and you don’t want to cause any tension. But with Mercury in Leo, the sign that governs your home base and passionate side; you may soon be engaged in lengthy conversations that drain you emotionally, or close loved ones (relatives especially) will call on you for favors and assistance (e.g. transportation, errands, etc.). The next few weeks will be busy with family. Be sure to find time to pamper and nurture yourself. What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Gemini: You’ve already got the gift of gab Gemini. It’s your birth rite and no one could ever hold it against you. Mercury rules your sign in Astrology, which makes you naturally disposed to communication of all kinds. This week is no different; most of your time will be spent interacting with others in social settings and hanging out in your local community. Be sure to give yourself a mental rest, otherwise, conversations will turn shallow. You never know who might be listening! What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Cancer: You’ve had it! You’re tired of not getting what you deserve, not being appreciated for all you have to offer, and not receiving the proper accolades. The only person who can change this is you, so speak up, Cancer! Don’t be passive; say what’s on your mind. There are two ways to acquire the respect and value you want: 1) Believe in yourself and know that you are worthy (in a humbled sense, of course). 2) Verbalize your expectations to others. Then, sit back and wait for the miracle.

Leo: Well Leo, what can I say? The Sun is in your sign; it’s your birthday month, and we just had a Leo New Moon last week. You’re getting the attention you crave, that’s for sure! But with Mercury now transiting your sign, you’ll want to avoid becoming too demanding, mmm’K? Barriers will be removed in all communications, including any necessary filters. Be mindful of this. Personal self expression will benefit the most from this influence, but it won’t matter if you’re causing offense. What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Virgo: Mercury rules your sign in Astrology, and so you are naturally inclined to analyze and use mental logic in your approach to life. However, the current influence of Mercury in Leo will shift the focus to you; you’re a problem solver by heart Virgo, and now it’s time to resolve some of your own problems (those that are less obvious and found in your subconscious self). This doesn’t have to be uncomfortable; just be fair and gentle with any internal dialogue. I’m certain you’ll find the solution. What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Libra: Negotiations, networking, new associations, group leadership roles, organizational venues – that’s the line up for this week, Libra! What’s more, you’ll be putting your best foot forward making some pretty impressive impressions. This may have to do with a professional project you’re trying to get off the ground, or a personal one that is dear to your heart. Luck is on your side; be sure to get out and mingle with friends, colleagues or anyone who is worthy of being added to your contact list. What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Scorpio: There’s a whole lot of chatter going on around the office, and the detective in you is curious to know what the buzz is all about! If job changes are afoot, or a new contract has been proposed, you’ll soon find out and may even be tapped to play the role of project leader. But don’t be surprised if you experience some push back regarding the quality and output of your work, AND, don’t force your way with certain assignments either. Just keep plugging at it; try to avoid the hype. What do the stars have to say about your love life?

Sagittarius: Fresh inspiration brings a fresh start, Sagittarius, and hopefully you’re communicating your new and enlightened self to others. Blogging or coaching would be great avenues for you to express certain philosophical shifts that are affecting you, and you may just be surprised by how well your thoughts are received. This is especially true on the work front; last week, I told you to put yourself out there and your talents on display. Share your vision with those important VIPs.

Capricorn: Lately, you’ve been deeply moved by all the love in your life. Friends, spouses and significant others have helped color your world view in a way that’s made life more intimate. Sharing how you truly feel now will only enhance the experience. If you feel motivated to create–then create. Your inventiveness may come in the form of written poetry, involvement in your local community, or different activities than the norm. Whatever you do won’t matter; you’ll be inspired.

Aquarius: There is no better time than now to tell someone how you feel. If you’re in love, say so…and don’t just say it; scream it at the top of your lungs! If you’re unhappy, have that talk; it’s way past due. If you have an idea or a project that you’re hoping to create with another, discuss the logistics. You are in a good position to express your heartfelt self to important others. Anything you have to say will be well received–heard loud and clear. Don’t stifle your thoughts; speak your peace.

Pisces: It can be maddening when others get in the way of accomplishments. Pisces everywhere have been in a grove of productivity, so any obstacles that arise now as a result of someone else’s misstep can be a nuisance. You know better than to let this prevent you from checking off your task list, and you may have to explain to folks that you’re on a mission and can’t be bothered with trivialities. They’ll understand, and may even offer assistance. Don’t worry, you’re still on track. What do the stars have to say about your love life?
