Mercury in Cancer ☿ 2023
artist: Seonna Hong
June 26 – July 10, 2023
Mercury rules the mind, communication, and throat chakra. For the last two weeks, Mercury has been spinning “at home” in Gemini. This transit brings lots of movement, activity, and travel each year. Many plans were made and executed effortlessly. We connected with new friends or reconnected with old ones. We’re feeling lighter now, freer, more open and optimistic. Gemini also conjures anxiety and nervous energy, so we’re learning not just how to use this wind to our advantage, but also how to tame it, how to calm the mind, relax, breathe deeply.
It’s Cancer Season now, happy summer solstice my friends. Mercury in Cancer for the next two weeks gives us a softer, gentler voice and heart. The crab expresses her thoughts in watercolor, blue sky streaming silently through crisp white clouds.
Mercury in Cancer soothes and nurtures. It is time now to let the mind and heart mix blissfully like a tall tropical cocktail in the sunset. It is time to mend the bridge between heart and mind and, more importantly, allow the heart to inform the mind of what it has known to be true all along. Do you have the courage to listen?
Cancer is sweet and low like summertime rain, tumbling in giggling waterwheels of soul springs. She is the constellation of heartfelt anecdotes, rambling tangents, sisterly love, and youthful, wide-eyed impressions. She is earnest, protective, and prudent. With Mercury in Cancer, the mind wanders softly to the past, to home, to family. This is a cathartic and deeply emotional cycle. Conversation will center on home and childhood.
emotional freedom ~ honesty ~ peace ~ openness ~ love ~ understanding ~ healing
This cycle is most favorable for people with natal planets/points in Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, and Virgo.
June 26 (1st day of transit): Quarter Moon in Libra + Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus. Unexpected vibes. Pressure on the body, ego, & emotions; fire and electricity; miscommunication; erratic and scattered yet undeniably energizing.
June 30: Mercury trine Saturn Retrograde in Pisces + Mercury conjunct Sun in Cancer + 1st day of Neptune Retrograde in Pisces. Out of bed early; productive, focused. Major water vibes, emotions running high.
July 9: Mercury trine Neptune Rx + Quarter Moon in Aries. Slow and sleepy; rest & relaxation. Connecting with loved ones. Mega water vibes again.
July 10 (last day of transit): Mercury opposite Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn + 1st day of Mars in Virgo. Catharsis, breakthrough, shift in the mind & thoughts. Changes show up in the body; watch for indigestion.
