SUBCONSCIOUSLY PICKING UP SIGNALS FROM EVERYONE ELSE ... ENJOYING THE MULTIPLE MENTAL TRIPS DOWN MEMORY LANE !!!

  

MERCURY began its extended transit through the domestic, sympathetic sign of Cancer on Monday, June1st, at 7:56 AM  EDT ... our thinking and communicative processes now turn from a highly intellectual mode towards a more emotional mode of operation as the ruler of Cancer is the Moon which, among other things, rules the emotions ... our thinking and communicating often ends up resulting from how we FEEL !!! ... Mercury was last in the sign of Cancer from June 8th through June 26th, 2025 !!!

Mercury in Cancer has a way of subconsciously picking up signals from everyone else .. the mind becomes as much a receiver as a transmitter under this energy ... here we have a highly intuitive mode of thinking and communicating ... this placement also usually bestows a very good memory along with strong poetic power ... Mercury in Cancer thinks with the heart and often interprets the meaning of others communications through how it "feels" !!!

Mercury in Cancer does not always say everything it is feeling as it tries to avoid hurting itself and others as well with careless ill-spoken comments ... one is very protective of their thoughts ... it likes to nurture ideas and encourage growth before sharing ... one uses emotions as well as logic and often may end up letting sensitivities sway ones decisions ... subconscious fears, habits, or prejudices could inhibit ones objectivity or openness to the new !!!

Mercury in Cancer usually bestows above-average psychic ability ... one learns through absorbing their experiences and making emotional connections ... interest here may include family, the home, the land, the past, the public or security ... Oh yes, we most definitely may find ourselves thinking about food A LOT, and hopefully that thinking doesn't become a nasty habit of overeating causing us to expand in ways we would rather NOT !!!

Mercury in Cancer teaches us the importance of thinking through nurturing ... it is a caring mind ... one has to be careful not to take everything so personally here ... it is important to remember to look at the facts in addition to the opinions of others ... it is also important to remember and be aware that each one of us is our own source of light and warmth ... most importantly it is necessary to make a collection of good memories that will give rise to clear and positive thinking ... the energy of Mercury in Cancer can be expressed in the following ways:

POSITIVE: mentally tenacious, good memory, reliable, sensitive mind, poetic, intuitive, agreeable, absorbs information, attuned to public opinion, profound, polite, softly-spoken, discreet, diplomatic, arouses sympathies, emotionally appealing, persuasive speaker

NEGATIVE: mentally habit-ridden, distracted, inflexible, overly impressionable, impractical, irrational, yes-person, too open, taking things too personally, depressive, self-conscious, unclear, incomprehensible, diffuse,  prejudiced, untruthful



Mercury now joins Venus and Jupiter currently in transit through Cancer ... Mercury will remain in Cancer until - WAIT FOR IT - August 9th and you know why !!!



Mercury ere it takes its second retrograde journey for 2026 occurring from June 29th through July 23rd completely in the sign of Cancer going from 26 degrees 15 minutes back to 16 degrees 18 minutes Cancer ... this is the second of three Mercury retrogrades completely in water signs for 2026 ... the final one will be October 24 through November 13th completely in the sign of Scorpio as well as being completely embedded in the ending of the upcoming Venus retrograde which takes place from October 3rd through November 13th - what a way to end the year !!! ... Mercury enters its next shadow point on June 12th/13th, depending on which time zone in which you live, when it reaches 16 degrees 18 minutes Cancer !!!

While Mercury is transiting through the sign of Cancer, one should realize that the natural ability to influence others is worthy of only our highest motives ... tuning in to ones finer feelings and expressing them is ultimately more rewarding ... and finally, try to focus on what you are after, who you are with and why ... and then stick with that !!! ... and by all means - enjoy the multiple mental trips down memory lane as they will surely "light the corners of your mind" !!!
