Mercury in Cancer

After an extended stay in Gemini with the recent retrograde period, Mercury now enters the watery realms of Cancer, to stay for about two weeks, until July 23rd. Joining the Sun and Mars in this emotionally oriented sign, everyone's thoughts are more attuned to feeling states. Your mental processes are more greatly influenced by your emotions so that it may become challenging to exercise pure logic. Your thoughts turn to the past and to domestic matters, or in double-checking issues of safety and security. Others around you, as well as yourself, are likely to communicate with greater sensitivity than usual, and also perhaps more intuitively. In addition, you could discover that your memory improves, because the powers of your intellect become more receptive and subtle for this relatively brief time period.
