Business Astrology Forecast — Mercury Retrograde in Leo
July 2025

Mercury Retrograde has officially made its grand entrance into Leo — and if your business thrives on bold ideas, public perception, or client communication, buckle up. Leo is the sign of confidence, creativity, and self-expression… which means this retrograde is coming for your branding, messaging, and ego-driven decisions.

What to Expect:
💬 Miscommunication & PR Blunders: Watch your words — especially in marketing, social media, and client interactions. Leo loves a grand gesture, but under retrograde, those bold statements can backfire. Proofread everything, and avoid impulsive announcements or rebrands.

🎭 Main Character Syndrome in Business Deals: Everyone (including you) may be extra sensitive to recognition and credit right now. Be mindful of egos in partnerships, team dynamics, and negotiations. This is not the time for power plays or showboating.

📉 Slowdowns in Creative Projects: Projects that involve creative pitches, branding, launches, or speaking engagements may hit delays or need revisions. Expect some “back to the drawing board” moments — they’re annoying but necessary for long-term success.

🔄 Revisiting Old Ideas & Past Clients: Retrogrades are great for revisiting past business plans, revamping old content, or reconnecting with clients you haven’t spoken to in a while. Focus on refining, not reinventing.

🔥 Avoid Ego-Driven Decisions: Leo loves the spotlight, but this retrograde reminds you: smart business isn’t about being loud — it’s about being clear. Don’t make moves just to prove a point or chase applause.

Pro Tip:
Mercury will move direct on August 14, so hold off on major launches, contracts, or big PR pushes until then. Use this time for reflection, reworking, and refining your business voice.

---

Bottom Line:
This retrograde isn’t here to destroy your business — it’s here to check your ego, sharpen your message, and remind you that confidence without clarity is just noise.

Thanks @DinaLRosenberg love this. Even if someone's not inclined toward the astrological, that headline's gotta get some interest. And these topics are great motivations for Sellers to maybe address parts of their business that might need some attention but often get overlooked.

honestly- every single time mercury retrogrades my stamps.com goes sideways.. every single time. LOL

Is it weird that I almost feel like this has the opposite effect on me. 

Normally when I speak it gets miscommunicated, but then now mercury retrograde comes along and I feel the urge to speak more & more confidently, and it's so far seemingly to work out positively?

It could be affected by other things I'm doing, like how I'm meditating more, working on my chakras (doing a lot of HEART stuff right now), etc. But the timing is uncanny. Thoughts?

I was born under a mercury retrograde- maybe you were too? When you look at your natal chart they'll be an Rx right next to it 🙂

I had never considered what being born in a retrograde would affect. 

Just checked, and all the things were direct except Jupiter, North Node, and Chiron were retrograde. 

There's a lot to learn about all this, and I don't understand a lot of it. I'll make a note to look into this retrograde stuff later.
