Mercury Retrograde in Cancer
Mercury just went into retrograde in the sign of Cancer and it is going to be there until July 12th. During this period, we need to spend a great deal of time thinking about our emotions, rather than talking about them. If you try to communicate your emotions before you have completely figured out what you are feeling, it is only going to backfire. Either a miscommunication will happen or you will not communicate your emotions to the best of your ability. You should focus on figuring out what you are feeling now, so you are better able to articulate it when Mercury goes out of retrograde.
Now is a particularly good time to examine your home life. Ask yourself questions like, what are you not happy with in your home? What in your home needs fixing? Now is also a good time to ask yourself questions in regards to your family. Who in your family could you build a better relationship with? What needs to be fixed in your family dynamic? Where do you need better communication in your family? You will find the answers to these questions if you allow yourself to truly be honest in your feelings about them.
This Mercury Retrograde is not only about going into your mind, but it is also about going into your heart. Cancer is a highly emotional sign. There is no way to understand the lessons Mercury Retrograde in Cancer is trying to teach us without feeling our emotions, and that does not take place in the mind. Allow yourself to feel your emotions as deeply as possible. Do not examine your feelings when they are happening, but take the time to examine your feelings once they have passed. The heart always knows what to do over the mind. If you do not allow your heart to do your thinking for you, then you are missing many of the blessings Mercury Retrograde in Cancer has to offer.
