4 Zodiacs That Are Actually Thriving This Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde? Fear not! This transit always gets the most hype, and honestly, it’s mostly because it’s the retrograde that’s most noticeable to us in our tech-heavy world. This transit is actually one of the most transformative and is a great reflection point for all of us. For these 4 signs, though, it will be a transformative experience! 

GEMINI

Look, Gemini, your natural ruling planet is Mercury, which means you’re particularly sensitive to a Mercury Retrograde. Recently, though, Uranus moved into your sign. Uranus brings about sudden changes. It’s the ruler of mystical mischief. It’s not here to upend your life, but it is going to double-dog-dare you to get something done. If there is one thing that Gemini thrives in, it’s a little cosmic chaos. Your gift is in your ability to shift. Gemini, you’re adaptable; it’s one of your many talents. If you can rely on that skill and pair it with your quick wits, you’ll sail through this Mercury Retrograde on a breeze. 

LEO

Leo, baby! I know this retrograde is moving through your sign, and I’m sure you’ve heard some panic propaganda around it. Here’s your motto for this retrograde: bold declarations unveiled. So what that your sign likes a little flair of dramatics, that doesn’t mean you have to be the Mayor of Drama City. If your heartstrings have been stirring, like harboring a secret crush or passionately pursuing a new hobby, this retrograde gives you some space to find the words to make the declaration! You don’t need to go over the top, and you should aim to have a plan for what message you want to get across, but you do have an opportunity to rewrite a story that was maybe feeling a little stale. Go forward slowly but with confidence, Leo! 

VIRGO

Virgo, your sign is not only ruled by Mercury but flourishes off of editing, revising, reviewing, and all the other things that get ignited during Mercury Retrograde. Mercury Retrograde is a time to audit, and who better to thrive in that kind of energy than the cosmic analyzer? You have the South Node, which helps to reflect on the past, moving through your sign right now. This is a great time to do a life audit. What stories in your past have shaped who you are today? What stories do you want to write for your future? Use this retrograde season to integrate the past and plan for the future! 

AQUARIUS

With this Retrograde sitting opposite your sign, this is giving you a real opportunity to come out of your regularly scheduled tunnel vision. Aquarius, more than any other sign, you have a plight that is carrying you through life. With Mercury Retrograde in Leo, the sign of heart-centered leadership, you’re afforded the luxury of revamping your action plan. You don’t need to plow ahead; you simply need to assess your best course of action. This transit allows you to step back and see the bigger picture and then move forward fearlessly when the time is right!
