Mercury in Leo, 2028
Mercury enters Leo on Monday 24 July 2028, 01:51 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Virgo on Tuesday 8 August 2028, 05:10 UTC, after 15 days.
Mercury crosses from Cancer into Leo on 24 July 2028 at 01:51 UTC and stays until 8 August 2028 at 05:10 UTC, when it moves on to Virgo. It is a short visit of 15 days with no retrograde along the way. Leo is a fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun.
Astrologers read Mercury in Leo as speech that wants an audience: warm, expressive, a little theatrical, and steady once it settles on a view. The tradition links Leo with creativity, play, pride and the heart, so this placement is taken to favor storytelling, presenting work and saying plainly what one cares about. The fixed side of the sign can also make opinions stubborn. A modest suggestion for these two weeks: share one piece of work you are proud of, and listen as generously as you speak.
