As we say goodbye to sappy love notes and rom-com inspirations , Mercury enters the charismatic and performative sign of Leo on July 2, at 8:50 a.m. ET. Since Mercury represents the way we think, speak, and make mental connections, our brains are about to be colored with fiery lioness energy. So, if you’ve been holding back—from expressing your feelings, starting a project, sharing your ideas, or being your true self—this transit is a perfect time to let yourself loose.

Leo is an incredibly positive fire sign that rules over the heart. It’s even associated with the fifth house of self-expression, art, and dating. Leo loves love and absolutely lives for dramatic expressions of affection. You can only imagine that when Mercury is in Leo, you are encouraged by the possibilities of what “could be” and emboldened to live as if those possibilities were already true—particularly around personal projects and crushes.

But while Mercury in Cancer would have you drawing hearts in your notebook, Mercury in Leo will embolden you to express that love with big feelings and dramatic display. In fact, right before Mercury moves into Leo, it’ll form a trine with Neptune in Pisces, making July 2 a perfect day to keep those rose-colored glasses on. Share what you need to before July 3, when Mercury will oppose Pluto retrograde in Aquarius —which could prompt more tense conversations, without either party wanting to back down.
