We have now entered Mercury retrograde pre shadow (June 29- July 23, and with post shadow inner g ends August 8.) All three retrogrades are all in water this year, the first one back in February 26- March 20 was in Pisces sooo it affected communication in our dreams, escapism, fantasies, daydreams etc. The current Rx is in Cancer, while all watery signs deal with emotions ๐ญ As a Cancerian, I would say Cancer is the mother of the emotions. Especially when it comes to family, home, safety, security, and ancestral ties. Often represented as a crab ๐ฆ which lives both in the psychic waters and on the Sandy beaches. The psychic ocean nourishes and protects the crab but the stability of the Sandy beaches allows it to breathe and have a sense of security. The themes will be at the forefront of this mercury Rx in Cancer. Think healthy detachment from your emotions, (read a book, learn to sew, buy a plant do something around your house thatโs satisfying) which right now maybe overwhelmingly emotional or tied to generational missions that weโve inherited from our parents. Cancer is water, and water holds emotions, mostly from our emotional past!!! Look to where you have a lack of self-control; being too controlling of others; being overbearing; acting irresponsibly; and not having a sense of direction in your own life. Maybe instead of looking at your past experiences through a survivor lens, look at the skills that you had to get through those past experiences. Determine if youโre trying to force issues that really need to be negotiated. Reflect before making demands. If there is a past issue you need to discover, consider, and possibly resolved before charging ahead. Enhance your understanding of the situation and itโs possible solution by considering it from a different angle. There may be more than one avenue open to you. Realize that you cannot disown your aggressive drives without damaging your psyche. Accept them and learn to direct them into appropriate action. Being able to switch directions when necessary is very Cancerian, the ability to balance our need for change with our desire for security, and anything dealing with stability. ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผEmotional strength, determination, and encouragement embodies our potential for movement, accomplishment, leadership, responsibility, and authority. This is signaling a time of change based on high principles, and reminds us not to dissipate our energies and to stay focus on our goals. Like a crab ๐ฆ go inwards to get into touch with your inner self but also stay present enough in your outer self to receive guidance and take a real good look at you ego. Also complete the projects that you have already started ๐ค๐พ๐๐พ๐
What are your defenses? In what way do you hide them? Do you still need them, or can some of them be thrown away? ๐๐โค๏ธ
