Mercury in Leo and Aquarius Moons
Welcome to Leo season! (July 22nd - Sun entered Leo at 7:26 a.m. ET.)
And the Full Moon vibes of Lady Luna in the sign of Aquarius! (July 23rd - Full Moon peaking at 10:37 p.m. ET.)
Tonight is ripe and ready for magic around clearing, forgiving, grieving, shedding and releasing to the wind the old, outworn, outdated, unsupportive, was-good-while-it-lasted….stuff of being human.
Under the bright light of this Full Moon in Aquarius, the sign of collective energies, rebellion and future advancement…you may find yourself asking:
What do I want to transform?
Where can I benefit from boundaries?
What role does community play in my life?
What do I want my partnerships to look like?
Am I expressing my truest, most authentic self and…
Is it time to come out of the broom closet?
Speaking of which…the season of Leo wants us to be seen!
Toot your horn.
Get on that stage and share your voice and message.
Express yourself.
Spread love, laughter, joy and beauty.
Share your affections.
Boast about something you love.
Make your life a work of art.
Star in your own movie.
Fuel the passions of your heart.
Excite loudly.
ROAR.
Leo isn’t afraid to dress colorfully, be stubborn or self-orient. Those are strategies that help to be seen, heard and walk one’s way to the front of the pack. If ever you are wanting attention and spotlight on your work, project or message channel Leo’s boldness, self-confidence, and bad-bitch attitude. Shine your DIVINE LIGHT.
And when Mercury, the planet of campaigns, communications and all things cosmic chat is in the sign of Leo? We are encouraged to share and promote our message and passions with flair.
For the next few weeks, confidence is in style. “Let’s get loud!” as J.Lo says!
Big gestures of love and storytelling with a dramatic and theatrical style are also welcomed. Leo relishes attention and adoration, so tell any shyness to step to the side and sashay into the spotlight with arms wide open. Receive the love from your audience.
Since Leo rules the 5th House of Creativity, Children, Games, Performance and Theater…tap into this season’s energy to help develop any stories or roles you want to play out through your style (including the styling of wardrobe, branding, interior design, etc.).
Whether you are styling for your professional or personal life, what are the messages you want to send to the world through your style? What do you want to communicate through the roleplaying that style offers? What stories or roles do you want to live out and/or give voice to by using style as your stage? What kind of energy do you want to channel or affirm through the act of styling self and your environment?
Style tells stories…about ancestry, culture, desires, passions, self-worth and values. What do you want to express to yourself and to the world?
Use these questions below as prompts to begin thinking about style as a storyteller:
What role do I play in the script of my future self?
How might an alter ego benefit me?
Where do I want to take the stage in my life?
What characters, roles or stereotypes am I ready to leave on the dressing room floor?
How can I bring more play into my style?
How does the joy of the little person inside of me want to be nurtured?
Some other things to keep in mind under a Mercury in Leo vibe:
Am I living in fantasy or reality?
Am I able to discern between fact and fiction?
Is ego guiding or is heart?
Lastly, a brilliant use of style to tell stories can be seen and felt in the most recent collection of Pyer Moss by Kerby Jean-Raymond. In this couture debut, Jean-Raymond paid homage to Black Inventors and their inventions. A historic moment with a collection shaping the now and future-history. Have a look!
TO SHINING BRIGHT!
