This article is the second part of a series regarding Mercury Retrograde in 2019. You can visit the first part of the previous article if you wish to know more about the general meaning of what Mercury Retrograde means here.
With this article, we will mainly dig into what Mercury in Leo & Cancer transit mean in 2019 as from July 7-31, the messenger planet Mercury will be traveling retrograde through Leo (beginning July 7) and then in Cancer (beginning July 19)
The traditional advice with Mercury retrograde is “Don’t travel, don’t sign contracts. Don’t marry. Don’t touch electrics!” This is mainly because the energy of Mercury is directed inwards for introspection rather than outside for our daily routine.
With the planet backing up through the dramatic Leo until the 19th, then ultra-sensitive Cancer until the 31st, July’s mood is looking pretty melodramatic. We can anticipate people’s overblown reactions using triggering language. Tension escalates quickly while Mercury is in reverse‚ and for all you know, you could be misreading someone’s innocent intentions as an attack. When Mercury is retrograde in Leo, consider getting out an old project from the archives and using the creative juice to review, revive, revisit, reprise it with confidence now that we can feel a little bit more inspired. Although the Cancer themes are stronger at this time, qualities of Leo are playing out significantly also: everything to do with self-expression, standing out, playfulness, children, heart centeredness, creativity, leadership, courage, pride, affection, and romance will be scrutinized, reviewed and re-enabled in everybody’s life.
From July 19, When Mercury backs into Cancer’s sensitive waters, emotions can run pretty wild. If someone asks for space or tells you it’s not a good time to talk, respect that! Your own emotions could be more than enhanced so it might be hard to express them without raging or bursting into tears. Being and seeing yourself more sensitive avoid, harden your own shell and shut people out; or worse, ghost them. Communicate when it’s time to do so and avoid major breakdowns that you may regret later when this period ends. While in Cancer, Mercury retrograde might get out your nesting instinct. However, it is not the time to embark on any major renovations, however it is a great time to do your research and plan all the dreamy possibilities for turning your home and space into a sacred oasis.
Key Dates for this period to look after:
Jul 8 Mercury station retrograde in Leo

Jul 21 Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Cancer (emotions can explode)
Jul 24 Mercury conjunct Venus in Cancer (expressing feelings that soon will not feel true anymore)
