MERCURY ENTERS CANCER
On June 1st, Mercury enters Cancer until August 9th.
With Mercury in Cancer, our mood or emotional impressions shape our perceptions. We are oriented towards communication that resonates on a more personal level. It is about the warm, human approach through the heart and is expressed through conversation, art, music, literature. We become more moody and defensive with our opinions. We have a sensitivity to criticism about how our ideas are presented and may overreact when challenged. We are not easily fooled by false flattery, since we are able to read the depth of what is being said. This comes from a strong intuition and can be our ally before we trust.
We prefer not to express our thoughts and rarely engage in personal conversations. We are not so quick to reason, but we defend the socially vulnerable. We are attuned to the deeper meaning of life or write down our feelings. Mercury here intertwines feelings with thoughts, so memories cause some feelings to manifest. This can be both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes this can cause us to not see things clearly, especially if unresolved issues begin to accumulate in our minds. Forgiving both ourselves and others can help us calm down from the dangerous paths of the past.
Mostly favoured by this Mercury trandit will be Ta**us, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. You will enjoy emotional and romantic communication with your partner or others around you. If you are single, flirt using affectionate words but project strong sensitivities in your conversations. Your creative ideas and steady flow of thoughts bring you into contact with the world and you seek communication. You may make an important visit or have an important announcement from someone. You enjoy communicating more about past issues and participate in various social events.
