Retrograde
Energy spirals inward, and we're less tuned into each other's frequencies. Therefore, outgoing signals between one another are not always well received. Miscommunication errors galore and resulting frustration if we are not compassionate and understanding towards each other during our current energetic climate.
But what do all these energies mean when we mix them all together!?!?!??
Well, we're all taking a trip down memory lane in regard to all things Leo (Especially considering the it will also be Leo Sun Season. Ultimately, further energizing all of these coming effects). We're traveling back in time to remember what ignites our fire, so that we can enthusiastically communicate the love that exists in LIFE.

A Message From Mercury
Harness the fixed fire energy of Leo, and in remembering its frequency, we will have access to the abundance that has always been with(in) us.
Do not confine yourself and put your heart into all that you do. Be tactical, but allow space in your life for that powerful creative energy to flow through you. If you don't feel that spark of confidence yet, fake it til you make it, because now is the time to be an active participant in.

What must we revisit and heal collectively?
We are being called to look back on the times in our lives where there seemed to be no place for the truth. Those moments where we took too long to react, and lost that "moment". These memories that now bring the shoulda, coulda, wouldas. We were too polite, too anxious, too quiet, and now we feel a bit cheated, because we did not act on opportunity.
Be prepared to dig your toes in, because there's a lot of energy with this card. It is just what we need though. Forgive and release all those missed steps, because we're meant to blast off into this next phase of spiritual expansion like a bolt of lightning.
In the future, don't be a bystander in moments where your community is differentiating what moral/ethical standards to uphold. Take the action necessary to transform any situation by using clear language and a swift tongue.

Our Lesson
This is a Mercurial card indeed and right now it relates to uniting the aspects of both fire and air. During these times when ours words may be misunderstood and confusion is at a high, it is important to not only be swift, but intuitive about how we deliver our message. Cleverness will be necessary when trying to harmonize conflicting perspectives, so think about the type of energy we need to put behind our words in regard to the context. How do we generate meaning in our words for others? How will they best receive our message? Do they need to see some intensity, eagerness, or integrity in our speech? Utilize the diversity within language, nonverbal communication, tone of voice, etc.
Ultimately, we are just going to be purifying our communication skills. This retrograde will be like an intense weight training, but when the conditioning phase is over, we will be more decisive about where we wish to go, and how we are going to get there. We are going to be forced to think outside of the box to come up with solutions for the challenges to come. The Knight of Swords doesn't give up without a fight, and neither should we.

this is really well done - totally align with "healing + communication" - making new and restoring old harmonies as a result of facing all disharmony - best pro for giving communications will be key
(or Steemit posts...?)
Did you mean "outdateD...?"
Lol. Couldn't help myself. :-)
...
not sure I know enough to answer the last part - pulling these up from the Astro Gold app...
the Neptune piece seems on point though when it says I'm likely to have difficulty focusing on anything, as are the Node ones saying it's a transition time during which I'm destined to stop and think before proceeding in life (a difficult challenge for me).
possibly the Trine Uranus too, saying "an ideal time to experiment with new... projects. If you have been thinking of embracing new technology then now is the time" - given I've had the strong urge to and have started writing about Tauchain.
(although I don't think those descriptions factor in the retrograde. takes a whole other degree of master pairing the surface-level readings with the extra depth of such additional transits, house placements and such. I'm definitely not there yet.)
I would love to know what those separation images are called. <3
