Mercury ends its latest retrograde motion cycle and goes direct in Leo at 10:40p PDT on Tuesday, August 7th, 2012.
While in retrograde motion, Mercury in Leo has given us the chance to introspectively look at ourselves and how we do or don’t shine out into the world. We’ve had some time to think about whom we want to declare ourselves to be in the world and how we want to create and/or establish the details and circumstances of our lives so that they reflect and support our unique expressions of Light in the world.
These last few weeks have also presented us with an opportunity to retrospectively set the record straight and to retrospectively ask for what we need in order to get our unique expressions of Light out into the world for others to see.
Now, with Mercury going direct, now is the time to outwardly start letting others know exactly who we are, what we are up to, and what we are committed to creating in and for our lives now and moving forward. We now get to ask for what we need in order to be supported in expressing our unique expressions of Light in this moment and for the future we are building for ourselves.
Leo can be rather dramatic in its expression, especially when Mercury in Leo goes direct while the Sun is also in Leo. The light of the Sun exposes the Truth of just about everything, and Mercury is quick to share what the Sun exposes. So when something comes to light, it can do so quickly and in big way under this double Leo influence. What you say and share may either come out in dramatic fashion, or it may create a lot of drama around you for better or worse. If ever there is a time when the Light of your unique expression could come off as a blinding glare rather than a warm glow, now through August 22nd is the time.
It is very important for you to be aware of the potential impact of what you are saying or sharing may have on your environment or on others in your environment. There is very little if anything hidden during Sun in Leo, so with both the Sun and Mercury Direct in Leo, it is very unlikely that any secrets shared in confidence will be kept.
This is not to say that no one can be trusted. It is to say that what you think is private or secret communication during this time may not be as private or secret as you think it is or should be. You may be surprised to find out that more people already know or are aware of what you have to say than you are aware of. In fact, any communication surprises are more likely to be on you than on anyone else as Mercury goes direct in Leo.
However, the surprises may be to your advantage. You may be surprised, for example, that someone you share with may have a contact they share your communication with who is able to get you what you need to move your plans and intentions along. You may be surprised that you are sought after or acknowledged for your unique self-expression as result of your initial communication or expression of your True self to someone(s) else.
Once the Sun moves into Virgo on August 22nd, the energy will shift from getting attention for how you are shining your unique expression of Light into the world, and will shift to how you are practically attending to your unique expression in the everyday living of your life.
Virgo is about attending to the details of day-to-day life – maintaining your health, your overall well-being, and the things that make your life work on any given day. It’s still about you, but it’s more about you on practical terms rather than in idealistic or creative terms. When Mercury in Leo combines with Sun in Virgo, it will become a matter of taking the ideas and expression you’ve created for yourself during Sun in Leo and establishing a plan for implementation or fulfillment of them, giving yourself something(s) you can do everyday to make sure your Light continues to shine and expand its reach out into the world.
But for the next two weeks, it’s still all about you and your Light. There is no secret about what you have to offer the world now. All there is for you to do is to choose to shine it brightly for all to see and to ask for the support you need to shine it. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you have the opportunity to receive. Be open and allow it all to come into your life.
Thanks for reading and sharing. Until next post…
~ Light, Love and Blessings,
Grace
