4 Zodiacs Stepping Into Their Leadership Era (Thanks To Mercury In Aquarius)

Mercury, the planet governing language and communication, moves into innovative Aquarius on January 28. With a focus on truth-telling, questioning the status quo, and courageously embodying authenticity, this Mercury in Aquarius season will touch all Zodiacs, but is particularly influential for these 4 Zodiac members.

4. Gemini

Ruled by Mercury, you align with this planet’s focus on curiosity, intellect, and communication, Gemini. As Mercury moves into Aquarius, you’ll gain intellectual energy and feel inspired to explore unconventional ideas. Forward-thinking is an Aquarian quality, and connecting to a greater sense of purpose will come as you explore new perspectives. You’re perpetually in motion, which sometimes can lead to personal energy being scattered. Over these next few weeks, however, Aquarius will challenge you to gain a deeper understanding of priorities and refocus mental attention toward long-term goals, visions, and values. Your challenge is to explore new thought processes and step foot into uncharted territories.

3. Leo

Laying opposite Aquarius, happenings in this sign impact you deeply, Leo. The lessons of Mercury in Aquarius are likely not easy or instant but hold great potential in unlocking new mindsets and communication pathways. Mercury is not retrograde, however, the dynamic energy between you and Aquarius may make it seem like it is. As a natural-born leader, Leo, Mercury in Aquarius will call you to re-evaluate your current leadership style. You’re shedding old layers in order to embody new perspectives of leadership. Have faith in the process, and resist any urge to get down on yourself. As you find meaning in the challenges, new skills and levels of embodiment will plant seeds for a stronger future.

2. Virgo

You’re meticulous and detail-oriented in service of perfection, Virgo. Ruled by Mercury, you will feel a strong Aquarian influence over the next few weeks as Mercury is housed in this sign. Balancing your keen eye for detail, Aquarius embodies larger-picture, innovative thought processes. At times, a fear of making mistakes or falling short leads you to become monotonous or stuck in routine. Others see you as someone incredibly trustworthy, and you’re in the process of seeing flexibility as an aid, not a detriment, to personal leadership. Over the next few weeks, your challenge is to create a sense of internal safety that leaves you open to exploring new methods while maintaining inner resilience and stability. 

1. Aquarius 

Mercury has a soft spot for you, dear Aquarius. As an air sign, you orient towards intellectual pursuits and awareness. As the excitement of the new year begins to wear off, now is the time to prioritize taking action steps towards embodying the vision you have for the future. Are there any hobbies you want to be exploring? Curiosity in terms of evaluating your daily routine? Interpersonal connections you’ve been wanting to explore? Although governing communication and language, Mercury’s impact on you is one that is all-encompassing. Use this extra boost of energy to amplify plans and processes with intentional action. Your era of personal leadership embraces sovereignty and taking steps of radical action.
