Emotional Conversations as Mercury Enters Cancer


When the messenger planet, Mercury, moves back into Cancer on Saturday, July 12 after its recent retrograde phase, you may find that your brain feels a bit water-logged and confused. Emotional issues that were on your mind in early June may resurface now in hopes of gaining deeper clarification.

You may feel less lighthearted and flexible in your choice of thoughts and words now that Mercury is in the moody sign of Cancer. You may also find you're more prone to emotional reactions in conversations, even resorting to passive-aggressive tactics to protect your feelings.

Furthermore, your fear of rejection and emotional abandonment could be higher than usual now. Even though Mercury is no longer retrograde, you may continue to feel hung up on feelings and emotional attachments from the past. Cancer is one of the most sentimental signs of the zodiac and can easily become fixated on nostalgia and idealizing the past.

The best way to navigate Cancer's super-sensitive waters is to remind yourself on a daily basis to not take things too personally. Do everything you can to wait for as much information to present itself, and don't hesitate to ask questions to prevent jumping to emotionally driven conclusions.
