If this summer has felt like one long exercise in reviewing conversations you thought were already finished, Mia Astrology’s Retrogrades & Current Cosmic Influences section is particularly relevant now, because the final days of a post-retrograde shadow often reveal why certain subjects had to be revisited before the next chapter could properly begin.

Mercury enters Leo on August 9 and moves into your second house of money, income, possessions, values, self-esteem and personal resources, joining the Sun and Jupiter in an area of your chart that is becoming extraordinarily important, and this is where the astrology stops asking you to think quite so much about who you are and begins asking what that person is worth in practical terms.
