Mercury in Leo
Ringo Starr is a lovable Cancer that flashes the peace sign all the time, and celebrated 'peace and love' with a concert on his 68th birthday recently (July 7th). When asked why by Larry King on CNN, he gave an artist's answer. "Oh it came in a dream -- flaming pie." He's always been kinda self-deprecating, so it struck me as very Mercury in Leo, when he responded to the question, "How did you get to be a Beatle?" by saying, "I got it because I'm an incredible musician..." Having this Mercury kept him from being totally overshadowed by the major talent in the band. Maybe it's what caused him to claim the name Starr.
Mercury is in Leo through August 10th, and this adds heart, color, drama and passion to communication. It favors going further into creative projects that are expressions of what's unique about you. You might add the flourishes now to something you've been working on. For shy creatives, there's a boost of confidence to present your imaginative gifts. The fire sign spectacle of Leo draws the mind to drama, movies, celebrations, art and anything that intensifies life experience, and lifts it up to mythic heights. There's bound to be more flirting when Mercury passes through this playful sign. And the messenger in Leo makes it easier for grand ideas to take hold, if they're shared in an inspiring way.
