Mercury is no longer retrograde! What that means for you today

Feel that? A sudden mental clarity. The urge to speak up. A message finally coming through. On August 11, Mercury goes direct in Leo—and we can breathe again. The confusion, the awkward silences, the words stuck in your throat: they begin to lift. What you’ve been thinking on repeat but couldn’t quite say, you can now finally express. And more importantly—you may start seeing it all differently.

18 days of inner rewiring

Mercury’s retrograde started on July 18. For nearly three weeks, our thoughts looped, stalled, shifted. It was hard to know what to say, how to say it, or even what we truly wanted.

This retrograde highlighted:

• how we express ourselves,
• how we communicate in relationships,
• the words we regret—or never dared to say.

And because Mercury was in Leo, ego and pride played a big role. We may have clammed up, overreacted, or spoken from fear instead of truth.

Today, your mind (and heart) click back into place

Now that Mercury is direct, something realigns, both mentally and emotionally:

• You understand what you couldn’t quite put into words,
• Your thoughts become clearer,
• You want to speak—but from the heart, not the ego,
• You’re less focused on being “right” and more on being real.

Mercury in Leo direct isn’t about grand speeches or showing off. It’s about speaking with confidence that feels rooted in who you truly are.

It’s a great day to:

• Say what you’ve been holding back (even if clumsily),
• Send that message that’s been sitting in your drafts,
• Restart a conversation that got stuck,
• Pitch an idea, launch a project, create something bold.
