Mercury In Cancer
The mind and the heart grow closer while Mercury travels through Cancer. We think about things on a deeper level during this transit, and have a greater ability to process and express our feelings. Mercury in Cancer gives us a chance to communicate with a softer touch, become more intimate, and share ourselves more personally with others.
Cancer the Crab is focused on all the things that make us feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When the planet of communication is in this sign, it’s easier to connect lovingly with others. We want our family, friends, and loved ones to KNOW they’re loved, and we find it easy to express the most caring and protective sides of ourselves when Mercury is in Cancer.
During Mercury’s transit through Cancer, we should open our minds to the messages we receive from our intuition. As a Water sign, Cancer has a very acute intuition. Mercury’s dance through Cancer doesn’t erase Mercury’s usual logic, but expands it to include instincts and gut feelings - information that cannot be put into words. This time gives us a heightened ability to draw necessary insights from sources you don’t always have access to.
It has been said that the biggest communication problem we humans have is that we do not listen to understand, we listen to reply. But that’s not the case with Mercury in Cancer. During this transit, we care enough to stop talking and start listening. Even silence can be full of meaning now. Mercury in Cancer is a reminder that real listening is done with the heart, as well as with the ears.
Cancer is the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Cancer. It spans 90° and 120° celestial longitude.
"May the Fourth be with you, Cancer! Your stars are aligned like the Force, giving you the power to conquer any challenge. But beware of the Dark Side of your emotions, as they may lead you down a treacherous path. Channel your inner Yoda and trust in your intuition, and you'll emerge victorious like a Jedi warrior."
"Attention Cancer! The stars have aligned to bring you an emotionally charged week. But fear not, with the power of science and a pinch of quirkiness, you shall navigate the cosmic waters like a pro!"
"Attention all Cancers: Prepare for a turbulent week of emotions, but don't panic, it's just the universe reminding you that you're a complex and multifaceted being. And don't forget to bring a towel, just in case the tears start flowing."
