Your Weekly Horoscope Newsletter: July 14-20

Hey attention seeker,

For the last month, you may have felt bold, expressive, and maybe even a little larger-than-life. But this week? Mercury’s in retrograde—and it’s happening in Leo, so naturally, it’s extra.

Expect drama. Expect delays. This retrograde isn’t subtle: it’s giving unhinged voice notes, 3 a.m. posts you’ll definitely want to keep in the drafts, and a sudden urge to call your ex for closure (don’t).

This is your cosmic cue to write (and rewrite) your script and rehearse before opening your mouth. Remember, not every moment needs a mic drop.

In this issue:
🌟 Vision: Mercury Retrograde in Leo = watch out for meltdowns
💫 Horoscopes: Big feels and bold words you might regret
📅 Your Turn: A retrograde ritual to think before you post, text, or roar
🎭 Cosmic Close: Making the most of Leo Season

HOROSCOPES
Romance, Reboots, and Retrograde Revelations

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Drama is just passion with better marketing. Mercury retrograde in Leo this week has you ready to charge into romantic battles you probably should avoid. Your impulsive nature mixed with retrograde confusion could lead to saying things you'll regret later. Take a breath before declaring war on your partner's Netflix choices or sliding into that ex's DMs. The universe is testing your ability to think before you leap, a foreign concept we know.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Stability is sexy, but a little chaos never hurt anyone. Don't be surprised if an old flame reaches out with that classic "hey stranger" text. Your steady nature is exactly what's needed to navigate these murky romantic waters. While others are losing their minds during Mercury retrograde, you're actually benefiting from the cosmic slow-down. Past lovers might resurface, giving you a chance to revisit what went wrong—or right.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Why choose one personality when you can have two? Your dual nature is working overtime, making you want to simultaneously commit and run for the hills. Channel this energy into understanding what you actually want instead of just reacting to every romantic impulse. Mercury retrograde in Leo is hitting you particularly hard since Mercury is your ruling planet. Communication mix-ups are practically guaranteed, so maybe don't send that lengthy breakup text just yet.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Emotions are like tides—they come and go, so ride the wave. The Mercury-Venus sextile on Friday is lighting up your communication sector, making it easier to express those deep feelings you usually keep locked away. Your intuitive nature is picking up on subtle romantic signals that others miss. Don't be afraid to speak your truth: your emotional intelligence is your superpower this week.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)
The spotlight loves you, but make sure you're worth watching. With Mercury retrograde happening in your sign, you're feeling the full force of cosmic drama. Your natural flair for the theatrical is amplified, but so is your tendency toward ego-driven romantic choices. This is prime time for old lovers to reappear and test your growth. Show them how much you've evolved instead of falling back into old patterns.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Perfection is overrated, messy love stories are way more interesting. Your analytical mind is working overtime, dissecting every text message and sideways glance. Use this introspective energy to understand why you sabotage good things with your impossibly high standards. Mercury retrograde is actually doing you a favor by forcing you to slow down and analyze your relationship patterns.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This week, you need to pick a side. The Mercury-Venus sextile on July 18 is your cosmic green light to finally make that romantic decision you've been avoiding. Your natural charm is enhanced, making this the perfect time to have those difficult relationship conversations. Stop weighing every pro and con—sometimes the heart knows what the mind is too scared to admit.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Intensity is your love language, and frankly, it's exhausting for everyone else. This week is stirring up your deepest romantic obsessions and fears. You're feeling everything at maximum volume, which could lead to some passionate but potentially destructive romantic encounters. Channel that intensity into understanding your own patterns instead of trying to control someone else's every move.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Start with a local coffee shop instead of another continent. Your optimistic nature is attracting people who appreciate your philosophical approach to love. Just remember that not everyone wants to discuss the meaning of life on the first date—save some mystery for later. The Mercury-Venus sextile is opening up exciting communication possibilities with someone from your past or future.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Your love life is all about patience and realistic expectations. This week's cosmic activity is pushing you to examine whether you're building relationships or just checking boxes. Your practical nature serves you well, but don't let fear of vulnerability keep you from genuine connection. Sometimes the best investments are the ones that don't make sense on paper.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Being different is your superpower, not your excuse for being emotionally unavailable. Mercury retrograde is highlighting your tendency to intellectualize feelings instead of actually feeling them. Your unique perspective on relationships is refreshing, but your partner needs to know you're human too. Stop analyzing love like it's a scientific experiment and start participating in it.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
Your intuition is spot-on, but maybe check the facts before you start wedding planning. The week's romantic energy is amplifying your natural psychic abilities, making you incredibly sensitive to your partner's unspoken needs. Trust your gut when it comes to relationship red flags, but don't let your imagination run so wild that you create problems that don't exist. Sometimes a late text is just a late text, not a sign of cosmic betrayal.

TAROT VISION
🦊 Knight of Wands (Reversed): Pause Before You Pounce

Our tarot pull this week is the Knight of Wands, reversed. Fitting, as Mercury begins its retrograde spin through Leo, dialing down the roar and turning the spotlight inward. The reversed Knight is a cosmic gut-check: before you leap, ask why you’re running.

On our card, a fiery fox pauses mid-prowl. Agile, clever, and quick to adapt, the fox is the rebel of the Wands court. But upside down, its cunning turns chaotic, its brilliance burns too fast, and its instinct becomes impulse. This isn’t a hard stop—it’s a reroute. The passion’s still there. You just need to wield it with care.

This reversal is your cue to revisit the things you’ve said, the roles you’ve played, and the truths you may have dodged in the name of speed, charm, or validation. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be honest. The trickster inside you? Let them rest.

The lesson? Boldness without reflection is just noise. This week, listen before you speak. Your message hits harder when it’s honest.

📅 Your Weekly Flow: Even Taylor Swift Doesn’t Write Songs This Fast.
With Mercury turning retrograde in Leo, this week is about checking your impulse to act fast, speak loud, or perform your feelings. The Knight of Wands reversed urges you to slow down, recalibrate, and lead with intentional fire: not scattered sparks.

💫 Monday–Wednesday: Revisit the Rush
If you’ve been charging ahead in a situationship, creative project, or self-image glow-up, this is your cue to pause and ask: is this driven by the right purpose, or ego? Miscommunications are more likely now, so clarify your intentions before you speak them into the group chat.

🎭 Thursday–Friday: (Re)write the Script
Is this you, or a highlight reel version of who you think you should be? Reflect, revise, and resist the urge to react just to stay center stage. Let your truth lead, even if it’s quieter than usual.

🌌 Weekend: You Can’t Hurry Love (Or Text Replies)
You still have that “look at me” energy, just use it with care. Channel your passion into something grounded: a journal session, a boundary set with love, or a second draft of the thing you rushed the first time. Not everything needs to be loud to be powerful.

TOP TRANSIT
Mercury Retrograde in Leo (Friday, July 18th)

After weeks of confidence highs, hot takes, and declarations, Mercury turns retrograde in Leo and things change. What was bold might now feel impulsive. What sounded like honesty? Maybe it was just volume.

This retrograde doesn’t kill your vibe, but it does challenge your ego. Leo energy loves the spotlight, but Mercury’s backspin is asking: Are you performing, or are you being real? Is this brave, or is your ego running the show?

Mercury Retrograde in Leo says: lead with heart, not with hype.

👉 Ask yourself: Am I expressing myself clearly, or just loudly? And who am I trying to impress?

COSMIC CLOSE
🔮 COSMIC CLOSE: Welcome to Leo Season

We’re now in the lead-up to Leo Season, your annual invitation to shine unapologetically.

To help you channel the full power of this fire sign, we’ve lined up a timeline of confidence builders to turn bold dreams into real moves. Follow along and use each moment to raise your vibe and center your worth.

📝 July 17–21: Write Your Star Power Manifesto
This is your confidence pre-game ritual. Craft a one-page award speech for the self you are becoming. Imagine you’ve already landed the dream job, relationship, or life milestone. Be dramatic, be detailed, be Leo—even if Leo Season hasn’t officially begun. (Bonus: read it aloud in front of a mirror.)

🪞 July 22–28: New Moon Mirror Ritual (July 24)
With Leo Season now live and the Leo New Moon on July 24, speak your intentions out loud. Light a gold candle, stare yourself down with pride, and say what you want like you already have it. This is powerful energy for self-recognition and manifestation.

👗 July 29–August 11: Dress for the Reality You Want
Treat your wardrobe like spellwork. Wear what aligns with the version of you who already owns the room. Clothes don’t make the person, but they sure can help call them forward.

🎤 August 12–22: Creative Confidence Challenge
Pick one creative act you’ve been too scared to share. Share it. Post it. Perform it. Leo Season rewards authenticity, not perfection. Let yourself be seen: messy, magical, and all.

🦁 Leo Season says: Manifestation isn’t passive, it’s performance with purpose. Show up like your life is the role you were born to play.
