Mercury Retrograde in Leo - July 2012

Mercury retrogrades 3-4 times a year so if it feels like you just had one you're probably right! The first Mercury retrograde of this year occurred from March 12th to April 4th. 

Anyone that knows about Mercury retrogrades knows that communications, especially on the technological side, can go 'off-course' during a retrograde.

That's because Mercury is the planet of communication, rules how we think and is the ruler of Gemini (the chatty one in the room is generally a Gemini).


Mercury Retrogrades receive a pretty bad rap due to communication, travel and technological issues but it really is a great time to review how you think, and what you are doing in your life. The most intense times of the retrograde is when Mercury is stationary (when it first goes retrograde and the day when it goes forward again) so really the rest of the time is very manageable if you can just tap into your sense of humor in regards to any delays or changes you might experience.

Let's look at some ways you can use this retrograde to your advantage!


How you can best prepare for and utilize the Mercury retro energy and how it might manifest itself:

  • Back up all files/hard drives (anything electronic)
  • Not a good time to make purchases especially electronics/travel/cars
  • Not a good time to sign new contracts (Is a good time to look over contracts, signing once Mercury goes forward again)
  • Could be delays re travel so be patient and double check all travel details if you must travel. If you are driving, allow time for possible delays.
  • Take care in all communications as misunderstandings are extra possible now (emails, verbal, phone etc) - Double check wording/attachments/addresses to be sure everything is in order before sending anything out
  • Save copies of emails/keep receipts for postage in case they 'don't arrive' at their destination
  • Look at where you might still have some work to do
  • Gain more insights and understanding in the house affected
  • Gather more information but don't act until the retrograde period is over
  • Avoid launching new endeavors at this time especially web based ones!
  • Good time for researching
  • Review your progress to date
  • Reorganise 
  • Tie up loose ends and wrap up already started projects
  • Re-connect, Re -discover, Re-think, Re-vamp, Re-do, Repeat, Re-enforce


Basically put a 're' at the start of any word  and you're on the right track. So as you can see not so scary, right? Does it help if I tell you it's really an optical illusion? No planet actually goes backwards instead a 'Retrograde motion' is when it appears from Earth as though a planet is moving in a backward motion. Actually it really has to do with the distance the planet is from the Earth and other planets at the time and how that is perceived...but hey I'm no 'rocket scientist' so let's move on! But before I do, please be assured it's not all in your head, the impact you feel is very real! 

Below is the area of your solar chart Mercury in Leo will be retrograding from July 14 - August 8:

Aquarius Sun - 7th solar house: Love and partnerships. Keywords: Partnerships (one on one business or personal), marriages or divorces, long-term associations, agreements/legal contracts, open enemies.

July 2012 Full Moon in Capricorn


The Full Moon has come around again. This month the Full Moon is on July 4, 2012 in Capricorn (Check out Moon times/dates at the bottom of this page). 

Full Moons can be an intense time as they bring things to culmination. This can sometimes mean endings but can also mean results. So depending on how it is affecting you and what area of your chart it's touching you could be celebrating your accomplishments, bringing things to a head, or feeling the tension of letting that which no longer serves you go. Whatever your experience, know that it is all for the best and embrace this time for what it is. Natures natural order. 

To plant the 'seeds' at the New Moon, to see what has grown at the Full Moon. To energetically get ready to let go of anything that will stifle the continuing growth of the crop, or to celebrate and enjoy that which is ready to harvest. 

It's also a time of issues highlighted, and of insights. The culmination of thoughts as the Full Moon shines her illuminating light over an area of your life so you may see and further progress. 

What is this Full Moon bringing to your attention?


The Full Moon this month in hard working Capricorn is also close to Pluto, planet of re birth and transformation. You could be feeling this energy. Use it to shed the old to make way for the new. Let all of your self in and celebrate all of who you are. Let any limitations be transformed into ways forward.


Mars will also change signs this month after an extra long stay in Virgo. You can check that post out HERE.

Mars in Libra July 2012

Mars will change signs this month on July 4th, 2012, after an inordinately long stay in Virgo (due to it's retrograde period). It usually changes signs every 7 weeks or so but has been in Virgo for 8 months!! Phew!


Wherever Mars is traveling in your chart tends to be where you have a lot of drive and energy during that time. The flip side of that is it can also be where you feel a bit more impatient and aggressive. 


So take a look at what house Mars, is moving in for you. From July 4th, 2012, until August 24, 2012, this is where you are going to be motivated to forge forward with plans!
