I was told I talked too much… but Mercury had other plans 🌀🦁

This Mercury Retrograde in Leo has been whispering and roaring all at once.
And the deeper I listen, the more I hear a sound I didn’t know was still trapped inside me.

It started the other day when Mercury hit 11°, an Aquarius degree.
A strange trembling moved through me—like my body knew something before my mind caught up.
And then… it landed.

I saw the little girl I used to be. The one who spoke what others were afraid to say.
The one who knew things before they happened.
The one who would ask questions that made grown-ups uncomfortable.

And I remembered what they did to her.
How they told her she talked too much.
That she was inappropriate.
Too intense.
Too loud.
Too curious.
Too much.

I remembered how teachers gave me that look.
How friends would say “Shhh!” when I was just being honest.
How adults—well-meaning or not—made it clear my voice was a problem to be fixed.

I was clairvoyant.
I saw through things.
And instead of being met with reverence, I was met with shame.
“Don’t say that.”
“You shouldn’t know that.”
“Be quiet.”

So I internalized it.
I made myself small.
I questioned my own knowing.
I learned to censor the most sacred parts of myself just to belong.

But Mercury, in its retrograde spiral through Leo, came back for that little girl.
And this time… I didn’t shut her down.
I let her speak.

And wow—she had something to say.

🌀 This Mercury Retrograde is an invitation to unmute the holy parts of yourself.
The wild, radiant, clairvoyant, truth-telling parts you were once punished for.
The voice you silenced to survive.

I created this workbook to hold that process with care and cosmic insight.
And something I added this time—something that’s been so revealing—is a chart of the degrees Mercury covers in this retrograde.

Each degree carries a different energetic signature—from ancestral emotion at 4° Cancer to sharp mental clarity at 15° Gemini.
Tracking them has been like watching the soul exfoliate.
Not always comfortable.
But absolutely liberating.

* Remember: Retrogrades mean there are three passes to each degree:
1️⃣ The first happens during the pre-shadow, before the planet turns retrograde.
2️⃣ The second occurs while the planet is retrograde—this is where the pattern gets loud.
3️⃣ The third takes place in the post-shadow, when integration is possible.

You get three sacred chances to recognize the outdated pattern and choose a new behavior. But only if you’re paying attention. Only if you’re taking full responsibility for what’s occurring.

✨ Only call your own name.
That’s the secret sauce to deep, lasting shift.✨ You don’t have to track the degrees. But if you do, be ready.
It’s a deep cleaning.
Of the psyche. Of the voice. Of your relationship with self.
You’ll see things you forgot were living in your bones.
