Mercury in Leo brings style and authority where you have a talent to see the big picture but may miss out the details. You will come across as very persuasive, almost a know-it-all but your desire to share knowledge with everyone allows you to promote your ideas and get your message across to the masses.

You will hold your opinions very dear and take pride in your idealistic beliefs showing passion and enthusiasm when presenting yourself creatively. You can however come over as a little arrogant and boastful as your ego is tied to your intellect, be sure not to take disagreements personally or let your natural detachment make you stubborn and oversensitive to criticism. You will be capable on an intellectual level, and have an especial desire for self-expression. With intellect and ego so closely tied, the ability to separate fact from fiction can be impaired, probably the best way to handle this position is to find self-expression in some creative field.

This alignment brings strong will power drawing out your natural leadership qualities where you will follow your passions often acting spontaneously in the moment. In social situations your warmth draws people to you and you will delight in developing other individuals’ potential. Watch out for false pride and intolerance in your dealings through your need for praise and admiration at this time, you don’t always need to soak up the glory and be in the spotlight. While this alignment lasts, you energize an idea, and bring it to life through colorful language that inspires others, too.

You will be quick witted and take intuitive leaps when thinking on your feet; although you may exaggerate at times, you are very convincing and entertaining when working on a task that gives you a voice in making decisions on any creative input. Creativity is especially important when Mercury is in Leo, and you will present yourself with a certain amount of flair and even drama.
