Mercury moves into Cancer on June 26th
Mercury moves into Cancer on June 26th at 5:24 pm PT where it will stay until the night of July 10th, when it moves into Leo.
In Cancer, Mercury is compassionate and potentially passive in its communication style, it can be defensive, nostalgic, sensitive, secretive, and traditional. When Mercury is in Cancer we can feel emotionally connected to our ideas and how we express them, but we can also be more intuitive, more creative in our communications, and more kind in the ways we address ourselves and others. During its time in Cancer, Mercury will make a series of helpful, clarifying, and informative aspects to other planets, but it will end its time in Cancer with a bang in the form of an opposition to Pluto, where we may feel the compulsion to dig deeper, know more, and uncover things that appear to be tucked away, but digging may not be the right answer, this time. As a last act in Cancer, mercury challenges us to keep to ourselves and wait through the difficult or triggering moments rather than getting loud at the first sign of information, only to end up wrong. Be kind in your communications, and use your voice to add care and empathy to the conversation!
