Mercury Retrograde in Leo + the Strength card in the Tarot

from Cosmic Cousins · host Jeff Hinshaw

This episode is dedicated to Mercury Retrograde in Leo. As Mercury Retrogrades through Leo, we’re invited to speak, listen, and reflect from the center of the heart, and from the gut. Mercury governs communication, thought, perception. Leo, ruled by the Sun, brings boldness, heat, drama, and the tender ferocity of the inner lion. Together, they guide us into the territory of the Strength card in the Tarot, which is ruled by Leo. This card, often misunderstood as brute force or simple resilience, actually teaches us about compassionate power, embodied courage, and the holy act of taming our wild inner voices, not through control, but through intimacy.
