Good Morning LP Family! It's here, Merc stations Rx in Leo for about the next month- cue the intro theme to Jaws.... (seriously, not really). Mercury is moving.
Mercury retrograde is never all bad (even if it is the most frustrating). This time, Fire Sign Leo does the honors and, like most things Leo does, it will not be quietly. My Leo friends typically do not have qualms about who they are. Even when tables are turning less than positively, your local Leo will stand up and say I'm here, get over it. It's just that fiery bravado that will not lose face. The problem is that sometimes in order to save face, we are not completely honest. Or basically we lie. From a practical standpoint, I think the next 30 days should involve a lot of fact checking. Simple stuff to big stuff, show your amazement over what is projected and then quietly double check the what for. Saving ourselves from retrograde energy is part of the learning process. Do not expect anything negative - not a vehicle breakdown, not lost keys, not misled direction, etc. If less than perfect timing happens, see the luck in the misfire. It's there.
Every Sun, Moon, and Rising sign will feel any Mercury Rx, but this one share focus between Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Those of us with major Virgo and Gemini placements will feel it all naturally because that's where we were born (in other words, resistance is futile and, trust me, I've tried)
Yes, my lifetime trend mantra has been that when Mercury moves, watch for all things 718 - in any drawing type. I'd like to see a solid 1718, 718, and 817 straights this turn. We saw 222 yesterday - that's the Scorpio influence, and Pisces mooning us with 131 too. Do you look at the Results page here at LP? The Daily Results page for all states yesterday read like a fest for digits 7, 1 and 8 or they're everywhere. If you see trends in numbers, words, lists, etc., it's about spatial relationships or reasoning.
Just one more note about Leo - as we approach the 23rd, Leo energy is going to be serious. We will have the Sun and Mercury there and, the only relief that might come, will be with whatever the Moon is doing. Leo technically rules numbers 1 and 4. Keep these digits in mind. That said, we face similar energy every summer we see. But this year, this season, is and will be different.
A note for anyone who plays Delaware - I'm on a mission to see if Merc Rx will turn me around because I've missed by 1 digit on virtually every P3 and P4 drawing for about a month. No kidding. Standing on those prediction numbers (which have fallen virtually everywhere else. But here).
Thursday's Child has very far to go. Happy Mercury Retrograde in Leo!
