Read below to find out which 4 signs will be the most affected, and why, by this astrological transit:

Gemini

If there is one thing Gemini excels at, it’s sharing information and spreading gossip quickly, but others call it pertinent information the world needs to hear. Mercury’s movement in Leo is going to push Gemini to be a bit more stubborn when stating their emotions and gossip; they aren’t going to back down if others present opposing perspectives. Not backing down from a cause will magnify their attention and passion; however, their air sign is good at using their quicksilver mindset to make their words sound smoother. There is a chance that Gemini may be the victim of propaganda, which is why they should fact-check things that they hear and texts they receive; seeking, repeating, and speaking the truth is essential for Gemini at this time.

Leo

The time for mental stimulation is now. As Mercury connects with your sun sign, you’ll be able to analyze situations and find the best way to go about them due to your sharpened intellectual skills. Although he may not have the answer for everything, don’t fret; the purpose of this time is to give you the brain power to understand how you can navigate and charge ahead. The way you communicate will be enhanced, helping you find the right words to say at the right juncture. You will find that the universe is conspiring with you to attain your hopes and dreams; the caveat is that you may put your foot in your mouth on occasion, which is why it’s wise to edit before speaking.

Virgo

With Mercury galvanizing the twelfth house of clandestine matters, Virgo is going to have a spiritual revolution. Rather than voicing their issues, the earth sign will opt to journal and write out their emotions to express their innermost sentiments about their personal practices. They might find that their subconscious and intuition are guiding them to evolve their spirituality in ways that they never saw coming. The internal conflict may keep them away from the scene until they understand their feelings and roles within the larger group. Until then, self-care and rest will fuel Virgo toward clarity. Quiet reflection and contemplation are how Virgo is choosing to heal and transform. They’ll be front and center in a few weeks, when Mercury (the planetary ruler of Virgo) aligns with their sun.

Pisces

Given that the placement of the planet Mercury is exalted in the sixth house of service, daily routine, health, and work, it makes sense that Pisces will face many changes in the coming weeks. Mercury in Leo aspects the derived sixth house of the water sign, intensifying the need to solve everyday problems. Practicality takes charge, offering efficient ways to deal with situations. This time, Mercury will be in Leo, so we will feel the extreme effects of the fire sign because it will magnify how we handle such topics. The rituals of Pisces will get a glow-up, encouraging them to focus on more efficient ways to improve their beauty and skincare regimens, as well as refine their palates and enhance their relationships with co-workers and themselves.
