Mercury Retrograde Cycle in Leo with Varuna

29 June – 25 August 2025

Let’s get real this Mercury retrograde and see soul-level storytelling, not just tech glitches and messy communication drama. Look at the whole retrograde cycle, from pre-shadow to post-shadow and see how Mercury can actually guide you back to your creative and expressive flow.

This Leo Mercury retrograde moves like a ritual; soul recalibration under the watchful gaze of Varuna, ancient God of flow, cosmic law, and sacred order. A cosmic alignment of voice, visibility and vibrational truth, inviting you to speak from the place that never lies: your soul.  Mercury meets with Varuna at 8° Leo, not once, but three times:

It begins with truth.

29 June

Mercury opposes Pluto and the spell begins: a truth is spoken or revealed and breaks something open. This is a power-initiation: speak only what your soul can stand behind.

30 June

Mercury enters pre-shadow and you are entering your creative review, themes are: voice, visibility, sovereignty and self-expression.

18 July – 11 AugustMercury starts retracing it’s steps; a sacred reweaving of the words you live by.

Varuna is the part of the cosmos that remembers what’s true, even when you forget. He invites you to come back into alignment, make what you say match with who you really are: restore the sacredness of your voice.

11 August

Mercury comes out of retrograde (stations direct); implement what you have learned with courage, make it a ritual practice to be seen, heard and speak your truth.

25 August

Post-shadow ends, the integration is complete, your new voice is ready to speak.

🌊 Who is Varuna?

Varuna is a Vedic deep sky deity, keeper of flow, order, soul contracts, and the unseen threads of life. He governs energetic alignment, not rules. When Mercury moves through his field, you are remembering your truth.
