MERCURY ENTERS CANCER:

On Friday July 19^th at 3:07 A.M. EDT Mercury retrogrades back into Cancer until August 11^th at 3:45 P.M. EDT. The placement of Mercury in the water signs puts the foundation beneath our words and thoughts clearly in our passions. When it was traveling through Leo we all tended to be bellicose, direct and perhaps rather dramatic. Now it’s all about emotional expression. Your feeling and your intellect are dancing together and if you take control over it this can be a period when you are able to express your sentiments and say what’s really on your mind. Because Mercury is in retrograde there is a tendency to delve deeply into your communications and at times reveal some hidden thoughts and agendas. Be true to yourself and don’t try to cover thing up. You will find it’s easier to be honest and get to the heart of the matter if you just allow your emotions their full say. Cancer tends to look back at the past. Don’t be surprised if some issues that you thought were completed or resolved return now to be reexamined. Family matters, deep friendships and romantic difficulties will come to the surface. This is a time to look back and make sure that you have finished whatever has been on your mind. But don’t turn away from those problems that are still lingering. We are in a retrograde Mercury period and this is a moment when it’s important to put closure on anything that still requires completion. Don’t be afraid to express your feelings. That’s exactly what this placement wants you to do .
