Why the Storm Weakened at 9:40 PM: Mercury on the Descendant

I expected the storm to intensify as Mercury crossed the Descendant in Leo, but instead, it weakened.

Mercury doesn’t generate force. it moves energy, and its effect depends on sign, speed, and support. In Leo, it's in a fixed fire sign, not flexible. So instead of firing things up, it likely disrupted storm cohesion, scattering structure or redirecting flow.

The timing was still spot-on: Mercury hit the angle just as the system changed. That confirms angular Mercury matters but more research is needed to know when it's a catalyst vs. a disruptor.
