Mercury in your birth chart
Mercury in Leo
Thinking aloud, with fire
Mercury in Leo thinks big and communicates with warmth. Your mind looks for meaning, brilliance and a story worth telling; loose facts don't interest you, but the idea that inspires does. You speak with confidence and presence, you convince because you believe what you say, and you have a natural gift for storytelling and encouraging others. You like to be heard and for your words to leave a mark. The challenge is pride: admitting a mistake is hard when mind and ego blur, and not every differing opinion is a challenge to your authority. Listening, too, makes a person greater.
You speak with fire, inspire, and turn any idea into a story.
Admitting a mistake without feeling your pride is under threat.
