What Each Zodiac Sign Can Manifest On July 27, During Mercury Conjunct Venus

It's July 27, 2023, and Mercury will unite with Venus in Leo. So, what should your zodiac sign try to manifest today during your daily affirmation practice? In a season of retrogrades, release the desire to move ahead, act, or even think somehow you are meant to be other than where you are now. Instead, look for the purpose in everything that makes up your life.

Retrogrades are crucial because they offer you a chance to review, reflect and embody your lessons so that you can genuinely change how you move forward. While the universe will always show you if there are small steps to be taken during these review periods, this is usually a time best spent on slowing down and not being in such a hurry to get ahead.

Today, Mercury aligns with Venus retrograde in Leo. Usually, these planets present an air of balance, beauty and compromise. However, Venus is currently retrograde, allowing you to reflect on your life's romantic and financial aspects. Still, Mercury is also set to station retrograde in just a few weeks, making today just one part of a much bigger story.

Venus and Mercury will both cross one another's path during this journey of reflection and review because the purpose at this moment isn't to know what the outcome will be in anything, but instead to embrace the trip, and that includes all the unanswered questions which may exist in your life.

To manifest with Venus and Mercury today, focus on creating a more profound understanding, a moment of stillness, or even clarity when it comes to a new or emerging idea about what you can start to do to change the outcome of your current story.

Regardless of what is happening in your life, this is precisely where you are meant to be and where you need to start. While the big picture serves a purpose, you first need to understand what has gone into creating your current reality to learn what is necessary to change your direction finally.
