Mercury will ingress into Leo today while Jupiter retrogrades back into Aquarius. Beyond the basic shift in the energy, the planets will join the sun, Mars, Saturn and Uranus in the Fixed signs.
You'll probably feel this, like something locking on. It's not final though. Tomorrow, Mars will ingress into Virgo leaving five planets in Fixed signs. I see this like a machine put in gear. We're locked on for good or ill. This scenario will be maintained for about two weeks.
The Fixed sign situation will peak under the new moon in Leo on August 8th. There's a lot of energy with this one but it's not dangerous. You can expect pressure to create and innovate.
This new moon will also be good for breaking habits or patterns that block your progress. It's like a train leaving the station to take you somewhere new. You may be afraid but you should probably get on it.
