4 Zodiacs Undergoing Personal Transformation During Mercury Retrograde (7/18-8/11)

Mercury, the planet governing communication and logic, goes retrograde on July 18.

Here are four Zodiac signs undergoing radical transformation during this transit:

Leo

With Mercury retrograde in your sign, Leo, get ready to be in the forefront of personal transformation. This retrograde stirs up reflections surrounding creativity, authenticity, and self-expression, encouraging you to become radically honest about where things feel stuck or stagnant. During this transit, you may experience shifts in your public image. Things may feel rocky right now, so focus on building confidence from the ground up. Step into personal power from a place of clarity and humility.

Aquarius

Laying opposite Leo, Aquarius, you contain contrasting personal gifts and strengths from the sign hosting this Mercury retrograde. During this transit, insight on relationship dynamics and how they express personal authenticity will come to light. Get curious on where you’re falling short or over-extending. Previous connections may resurface, providing an opportunity to choose whether you want to continue down the path you’re on or embark on a new one. Focus on the personal narrative you’re telling yourself, and where you see big-picture values playing out.

Libra

As a sign who values balance and harmony, Libra, retrograde motion can stir up feelings of discomfort and fear. While misunderstandings may take place over the next few weeks, Leo’s influence inspires a more solid opinion on where your perspective currently lies. Stepping out of your comfort zone right now is a must, and you’re being called to reset personal boundaries when it comes to self-care, daily routines, and interpersonal dynamics. See discomfort as an opportunity for growth, and avoid the temptation to label these feelings as personal failure. Make the changes you need to.

Taurus

As a fixed earth sign, Taurus, Mercury retrograde is stirring up your sense of foundation. Now is an opportunity to pause and reflect, taking note of how relationships and commitments are serving you. Others’ communication is likely not at its finest right now. Practice extending patience and grace, while equally challenging yourself to see through deeper layers of how these dynamics are playing out. Have the hard conversations you need to, but only after you’ve done the work of personal introspection. You’re learning the balance of patience and assertiveness.
