Today at 12:09 PT, Mercury's entrance into Leo at midday brings a shift in communication style, encouraging more dramatic, creative, and confident expression. This transit lights up our mental processes with Leo's theatrical flair, making it an excellent time for creative projects, public speaking, and expressing ourselves with warmth and authenticity.

With Mercury in Leo, a synastry chart reading becomes particularly insightful for understanding how you and others communicate love and appreciation. Leo's energy is all about recognition, creative expression, and generous communication. Examining the synastry between you and important people in your life can reveal how your communication styles complement each other and where you might need to adjust your approach to truly be heard and valued.

Thursday has always been my favorite day of the week. There’s something about it that carries anticipation, like the week is winding itself up for something wonderful. This morning, as I got ready for work, I caught myself humming, a small thing, but it’s been happening more often lately.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the quiet power of enthusiasm.

There’s been a shift in how I show up in the world. I’m speaking up more in meetings, sharing ideas without overthinking, even cracking jokes with neighbors I barely used to nod at.

In the background of all this is a private list I’ve been writing and rewriting in my journal: dreams I’ve never said out loud. The book I want to write. The trip to Italy I’ve been researching for years. The pottery class I keep bookmarking but never actually join.

A friend recently asked, “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” And when I started listing these secret wishes, he looked at me like I’d just revealed superpowers. Then came the simplest question: “So why don’t you do them?”

Maybe it’s Mercury moving into Leo, or maybe it’s just timing, but something about this moment feels like permission. Permission to be louder, braver, more expressive. To stop shrinking from joy or downplaying what lights me up. Maybe that’s the real invitation: to stop hoarding our enthusiasm like it needs justification, and instead let it spill out generously into the world.
