Mercury retrograde in Leo is the astrological flavor of this week, wreaking havoc on the flow of life. While you might be instinctively tempted to curl up and hope that miscommunications and technological mishaps pass you by, this week promises a very smooth transition into the chaotic period, all thanks to Mercury’s sextile to Venus. Let’s break it down.
On July 18, we will be treated to Mercury retrograde in Leo. The usual shenanigans of this period (miscommunications, delays, tech glitches) might start to feel like personal attacks to you. Such recommendations as backing everything up and reading the fine print are nothing new, and neither are the invitations to revisit your creative projects for a bit of refinement or reignition. But the tip to watch your tone for real and curb your ego-driven need to prove your worth might as well be.
Still, while usual Mercury retrogrades hit you with the subtlety of a freight train, this one is going to be a trifle different. On the same day, July 18, 2025, Mercury sextile Venus will soften the edge of the chaotic period. This harmonious aspect will bring along delightful charm and wit, making conversations smoother and collaborations easier. Flirty banter might be heard on corners, along with chats about the good old days.
Believe it or not, the influence of these astrological events makes this week perfect for mending relationships, pitching creative ideas, and dipping one’s toes in playful self-expression. Don’t believe us? Just try it!
