MERCURY ENTERS LEO:
On Sunday August 11th at 3:45 P.M. EDT until August 29th at 3:48 A.M.EDT Mercury joins the Sun, Venus & Mars in the fixed fire sign. Romance, games, gambling, creativity and theatre are all in the cards. August is the most child-like of the summer months and with so many planets traveling here you should get out and enjoy yourself as much as possible. Go to a waterpark, spend a few days at the beach or just find some enjoyable cafes with outdoor seating to share with your close friends or your lover as you watch the world pass by. Conversations will be lively and at times uninhibited. You probably should be a bit careful about how freely you express certain things, but Leos don’t really like restrictions. Because it is a fixed fire sign (an oxymoronic term at best) I find that this sign at times resents that fact that it isn’t as free as the cardinal and mutable fire signs and it often “roars” just to prove its liberty and claim its place in the family of fire. Speak your mind, especially in romance and deep friendships, but remember that after Leo comes Virgo and what you say now may be revisited and scrutinized in a few weeks once that earth sign has domain. Have fun! It’s summer. Get out, get tan, be playful and get happy.
