From the last eclipse until August 19, we once again go through a stage of Mercury retrograde, this time in the sign Leo.
As you may remember from the beginning of the year, when Mercury is in retrograde there are usually huge problems with communication, technology and travel. Considering the influence of Leo, a fire sign, things can get more intense.
This will have direct results in the big three: jobs, relationships and health.
So if you want to survive this Mercury retrograde, here are some of the things you should avoid.
1. Losing your cool
Mercury retrograde in Leo will make you lose your patience, that’s for sure. This stage will exacerbate passions, temperament and in many cases, anger. Classic communication problems will be even more terrible, and can end badly
Therefore, think twice before getting into complicated discussions, which you know will end badly. Really, they can end horrible.
2. Make impulsive decisions
Exactly that energy can lead you to make bad decisions. In these days when we have Mercury retrograde in Leo, your intuition could mix a bit with recklessness.
These days, think twice before doing things, especially when they are big decisions.
3. Feeling overconfident
We do not want to scare you, but really these days you must walk with four eyes. It is that Leo’s energy will make you feel confident (hence the impulsiveness) and that is good. But if you don’t know how to handle that energy, you can make serious mistakes.
At work, double-check everything (especially if your job is technology-dependent or involves communication). Do not neglect your personal projects either.
This stage can be a lot of growth, but you must be alert.
4. Take things personally
Possibly, the energy of Leo will make you feel a bit at the center of the world. That will also lead you to believe that everything bad is about you.
If you take things too personally, you may lose out. You will argue with friends, you will have problems at home and at work. So when you feel like everyone is against you, remember Mercury retrograde and relax.
5. Start a new job or relationship
Perhaps these days are not the best to start important new commitments. Leo’s strength can make things that seem incredible today short-lived, and all the problems we’ve already mentioned can be exacerbated by novelty.
Of course, if you have no alternative, you should not stop doing it. Simply, that you must go step by step, not be carried away by first impressions, and have a little patience for things to start to flow.
6. Stop taking care of yourself
When the energy of the stars seems to complicate things, the best thing you can do is turn a little more inward.
Meditate, exercise, don’t fill up on junk food and alcohol. Do everything you can to get away from anxiety, stress, and heartbreak. Well, everything happens!
Start taking it easy, and aside from surviving Mercury retrograde, you’ll have a better time for the rest of the year.
