What a tedious winter, right? — Mercury retrograde will continue to dominate the month of August.
Mercury, the trickster planet of the mind and mouth, of technology and travel, of hot gossip and sexting, began its retrograde movement in the demanding, tweed-scented sign of Virgo before entering the lions’ den of Leo on August 14.

In the sign of the big cats, Mercury retrograde takes on a different tone, lending an intoxicating dose of hairspray, explosive tempers, and spotlight soliloquies to this season of introspection and review.
As the brilliant astrologer Danny Santos told The Post, “Mercury Retrograde in Leo will reveal deep truths about our sense of identity and themes of value.”
When does Mercury retrograde end?
Mercury ends its retrograde movement on August 27, but we will still feel the effects of this transit until the planet clears its post-retrograde shadow, also known as retrograde shadow, on September 11.
While we’re still in it, we’re all going through it, but keep in mind that anything bad is the foundation for future good.
Leo is fixed fire, and as such, Leos and other fixed signs like Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius will feel the burn of this turnaround more intensely than others.
Astrologer Danny Santos has words of wisdom for the fixed signs as they walk through the fire of this retrograde sign.
Santos, who is also an Ayahuasca shaman and the integrative healer behind Santos & The Crystal Visions, is here to share his wisdom on what the stars have in store for these signs.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Santos explains, “Mercury’s shift to Leo highlights your 4th house of home and family, Taurus. Expect domestic drama or unresolved family issues to surface, but know that facing them head-on will pave the way for harmony.”
“As the nodes transit into Pisces and Virgo on January 12, 2025, your 11th house of friendships and long-term goals will be activated, bringing significant healing and new beginnings in your social circles. Imagine a phoenix rising from the ashes, renewed and ready to soar,” he said.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
“Starting August 14, Mercury moves into Leo, highlighting your 1st house of self and identity,” shared Santos.
“Communication failures and delays may challenge your self-expression and personal plans, but they are opportunities to refine your approach.
“This retrograde sets the stage for healing and renewal when the nodes shift into Pisces and Virgo on January 12, 2025, activating your 8th house of shared resources and transformation.
“This cosmic shift promises deep insights and significant growth in your intimate relationships and financial partnerships, paving the way for a powerful new chapter.”
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
“Communication failures and delays are likely, but they serve as lessons in patience and clarity, Scorpio. As Mercury moves into Leo, your 10th house of career and public image comes into focus. Here’s the twist: expect potential misunderstandings or delays in your professional life, but see them as opportunities to enhance your career strategies,” Santos assured.
“This retrograde serves as a precursor to the healing that will occur when the nodes move into Pisces and Virgo on January 12, 2025, activating your 5th house of creativity and romance. This cosmic shift will lead to significant breakthroughs and clarity in your creative efforts and love life, setting the stage for a new chapter of joy and self-expression.”
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Santos tells The Post: “Mercury’s shift to Leo highlights your 7th house of partnerships, Aquarius. Communication failures and delays may challenge your one-on-one relationships, but these are opportunities to refine your connections.
“This retrograde sets the stage for healing and renewal that will occur when the nodes shift into Pisces and Virgo on January 12, 2025, activating your 2nd house of personal values and finances. This cosmic shift promises deep insights and significant growth in your material stability and self-esteem, paving the way for a more secure and confident future.”
