Mercury retrograde reactivates issues from July 24th-25th, 2017 (when it was last exiting Leo). It’s time to revisit the fire at the heart of your idea. Does it still bring you joy? It may also be time to revise a creation, or your approach to a new romance.
Saturn’s hard aspects to Vesta and Ceres suggest pressure around an area of focused nurturing. Family responsibilities or legal issues may create resentment, as you’re pushed to care for someone or take on more than you want to.
The easy sextile between Vesta and Ceres is your solution. Despite the pressure, there’s an opportunity to harmonize nurturing with devotion. Saturn’s responsibilities cannot be shrugged off, and nurturing resentment only makes them feel heavier. If you have to do it, pour all your energy into it and make it sing. Find the flame at the core of the responsibility. This could be what Mercury Rx’s return to Leo is about.

The Sun/Mercury inferior conjunction is the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde. You’re still in the revising/reviewing zone, but an important truth should be illuminated. The inferior conjunction is a new beginning in the Sun/Mercury cycle. The superior conjunction (June 21st, 2017 at 0 degrees Cancer) was a culmination – the two dates may be connected.
Juno direct is trines the Sun/Mercury conjunction, and this suggests progress for relationship contracts and agreements. Mercury Rx’s second look can reveal a key fact that solidifies a commitment.
Note that Juno will make two exact trines to Mercury in Virgo:

Mercury unites with Vesta for a second time (the first conjunction took place on August 2nd). Mercury is slowing down in preparation for its retrograde (on August 12th) where it will back away while Vesta moves forward. Mercury Rx will not conjoin Vesta, however, after the conjunction it will station at almost the same position as Vesta (off by a few minutes). Meaning, before it turns Rx, it will “stop” close to Vesta, which is akin to underlining that one detail.
This is a powerful, repeat focus on a fact, problem or solution. Mercury/Vesta’s first conjunction took place at 7 degrees, so 7 to 11 degrees Virgo is the zone for this. This is happening just before Mercury’s Rx (review) so this is not the final solution. But it is something you need to look at, very closely, in preparation for the upcoming review.
Where does your attention need to be, right now?
Remember that Vesta is about devotion. In Virgo, mundane details and improvements (the little things) are sacred.
A mostly harmonious day, with a moment that might trip you up.
Sun/Jupiter is bold and optimistic – things will work out because you feel confident, and confidence will be buoyed by the sense that things will work out. Win-win. Good for attracting favourable attention. However, Mars/Neptune is a caution. For the most part, you’ll be on target, but you can stumble (via misguided actions) if you’re not paying attention. What you’ve been ignoring can weaken your efforts.
Mercury/Venus suggests sweet words that are practical and empathetic. For example, the solution that’s presented with sensitivity, or gentle advice. Excellent if you have to point out an error or deliver a critique – you can phrase it so it almost sounds like a compliment.
Meanwhile, Vesta/Pallas is about devotion to a basic solution that can be used easily and immediately. It’s not a quick fix (results will take time) but it should be easy to access and implement. Vesta picks out a specific detail or problem, and Pallas supplies the stable strategy to address it. Healing and improvements will be visible.
Aspects to Virgo help you address the problem, while aspects to Leo reassure you that it can be fixed. Just keep your eyes on Mars/Neptune – don’t ignore the questionable action.
Vesta’s ultra-focus combines with Mercury’s communication/information. One topic of conversation/piece of information will be the sacred flame. Maybe you obsess over the little thing they said. Maybe you drill into a research paper/article/book as you dedicate yourself to finding a solution. Perhaps you become obsessed with proving your point.
This energy can be used for good or ill, depending on the focus. The big picture will be impossible to see. The critique may be the only thing you hear. Sometimes this is necessary. Sometimes it’s limiting. Consider what fact you’re devoting yourself to.
