What Mercury Conjunct Jupiter Means
Mercury and Jupiter sit down together in Leo on August 15, and your thinking expands to match your ambitions. Jupiter enlarges Mercury's capacity for ideas, making this one of the best days of the year for big-picture planning, presentations, publishing, and any communication that needs to inspire rather than just inform.
In Leo, the message is delivered with flair. You are not just thinking bigger. You are communicating bigger.
