This week is full of fire and reflection. The New Moon in Leo invites you to celebrate your joy, your creativity, and your inner light. At the same time, Mercury Retrograde is getting stronger, asking you to think more clearly and question what you usually believe.

Monday: Opening the Mind
With the Moon in Gemini, Monday offers an ideal moment for writing, discussing, thinking, and problem-solving, especially in relationships. This is the day to address lingering tensions with a light heart and an open mind. Communication feels easier and less burdened than usual.
Let this be a productive day. You may surprise yourself with how much mental clarity you gain just by saying something out loud.
Tuesday: The Fire Returns
The Sun enters Leo early in the day, shifting the mood into something warmer and more expressive. Venus squares the North Node while Mars opposes it, creating some friction around relationships, desires, and decisions.
You may feel torn between going along with others or stepping into your own will. This is a day to choose yourself.
Wednesday: Clash or Connection
The Venus-Mars square is exact, and emotions may rise with the Moon in Cancer. Romantic tension, emotional reactions, or sexual frustration can boil over. This is not a subtle day.
It is, however, a great one for honest communication, even if it means walking away or breaking a pattern.
Thursday: A Royal Reset
The New Moon in Leo arrives at 2:10 pm CT, while the Sun makes harmonious aspects to both Neptune and Saturn. That means your dreams can take shape if you are willing to commit to them.
For your ritual, keep it playful. Dance, sing, or do something that brings you joy. Then, light a candle and stand in front of a mirror. Try to create a beautiful space around you. Say at least three things you admire about yourself, more if you can. After that, write down one desire that pops into your head. Burn that paper in the flame of your candle.
Friday: Mercury’s Voice
The Moon meets retrograde Mercury and the Sun faces off with Pluto. Expect information to surface, secrets to unravel, and your own mind to be in sharp focus. This is when the retrograde energy really kicks in.
Slow down and observe your thoughts. You will need to revise your judgments throughout the day.
Saturday: Think and Work
The Moon enters Virgo early, encouraging productivity and detail-oriented focus. You may feel the need to clean, fix, edit, or analyze something. This is a great day for practical matters and mental work.
You are not meant to rest just yet. Let your mind stretch and engage with precision.
Sunday: Still in the Process
With the Moon still in Virgo and Mercury Retrograde continuing to stir the pot, Sunday is perfect for quiet concentration. Focus on refining your ideas, sorting out plans, or finishing anything that needs order and clarity.
It is not a social or expansive day. But it is good for thinking deeply and catching up with yourself.
Wrapping up
This week blends celebration with introspection. The Leo New Moon asks you to honor your joy and radiance. Mercury Retrograde reminds you to question, observe, and sharpen your mind. The balance between these two will shape how much clarity and confidence you walk away with.
Trust your thoughts, express your heart, and light the candle that brings you back to your own truth.
