Mercury is the 'winged messenger of the Gods'. It is the ruling planet of communication, technology, intellect and finances.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is responsible for our mind, our emotions and our hormones.
Positively, Cancer can be caring, perceptive, loyal, creative, generous, empathetic, family-oriented and protective.
Negatively, Cancer can be moody, pessimistic, self-centred, clingy, suspicious, spiteful and manipulative.
What should we expect right now?
When Mercury was in its own sign, Gemini, communication was crisp and logical. As the airy Mercury moves into the water-sign Cancer, emotions come front and centre.
- We will feel everything far more deeply.
- We have a heightened sense of intuition.
- Conversations are less varied but more profound.
- Issues that were unaddressed, may be re-opened to get peace or closure.
- There is a stronger need, to be secure or protect loved ones.
What should we be aware of?
1. Wanting to feel loved, should not lead to us being needy or over-possessive.
2. Feeling nostalgic or addressing an old issue, does not mean remaining stuck in the past.
3. With the best intentions of nurturing, we should not end up being manipulative.
4. Our thinking is more emotional, so we must gauge the sentiment once, before acting on it.
5. Being vulnerable, does not mean we should lose faith or be fearful.
Realise. Release. Recalibrate.
