Hey yo! This is the second retrograde of Mercury in 2025. But, now it is in Leo!
So, what are the tips for this period?? Here we go!

In these two days...
A planet such as Mars, Venus and of course mentioned Mercury is in stationary position before passing retrograde and after ending of the retro. Two or three days before and after of retrograde, our works, relations, thoughts in our mind, the center in brain for making decision are in turbulence in stationary position. So, for some astrologers' argue that this stationary position of a planet is "worse" than its retrograde. "worse" means nothing will be postponed, nothing will be canceled but everything is like stuck! Nothing moves.
That is why, two days before 18th of July and two days after 11th of August, being careful on not giving advice to anyone, not promise to do anything and not begin new things are saving lives ;)

Retrograde Times
Mercury's retrograde starts in Leo's 15th degree on 18th of July and lasts to 11th of August. In this almost a month, we will want to change something on our communication skills, our way of view, our comments on what happens surround us. Ego is the keyword, because it happens in Leo. Rethinking on our ego and ego-logic issues is highly rewarded by the end of this retro.
The another topic is creativity! Leo means to be creative, being on the stage, under the spotlights. So, in retrograde period, checking out our lights, using our creativity maybe more in our job is recomended. Is there any thing which stops you, pushes behind the curtains of stage? Then, it is the time of removing this from your life.
This retro times are also necessary for rethinking, re-observing our roles and positions in our relations. Leo says "honey, do you really want a partner who shadows you?" "Is this what you deserve?" So, leo retrograde reminds us our value, our boundaries, our honor and the limits of our tolerance.
Leo is fixed sign. Leo is clear what it wants. Leo says what it wants to say directly. No plan, no strategy! So, in this period be careful on being transparence to yourself. Warm relation and communication with yourself helps to open your heart to your own truth. Listen to your heart!
Good luck <3
