Caveat Retrograde June 2020
This Retrograde is going to test you, it is going to test us all. Not because of the usual Mercury reversal feature of messing with our gadgets, schedules or plan. No, this transit will prove difficult because it will emphasize the conflict between thoughts and feelings, between what you need and what you think you need.
Now, while the effects of retrogrades tend to be internal, this one is especially so because the Cancer governs feelings and given in influenced by retrograde Mercury how you think about what you feel. Cancer’s rulership also involves emotional securities related food, shelter and protection of ourselves and loved ones. Given the times we face, those concerns are paramount.
To repeat what I said in my article” What You’ll Be Needing: Mercury Retrograde in Cancer” https://www.facebook.com/notes/aeions-tarot-astrology/what-youll-be-needing-mercury-retrograde-in-cancer/10158562962897072/
, “Get in touch with your feelings. What isn’t feeling good or right in your life? Seek to make any changes after the Retrograde ends on July 12. Love relationships are very particularly susceptible to this transit so be patient with spouses and significant others, particularly in this time as many are living in very close quarters”.
A helpful method to negotiate the sometimes chaotic and in this case, stressful energies of this particular passage, you are urged to ground yourself in spiritual practices, creative endeavors (things that set aside or old projects) and meaningful physical activity.
This one may be tough but hopefully it will prove constructive and reinventive.
Mercury goes Retrograde in Cancer (14ยบ 46") tonight, June 18/17 12:59 am EDT/ 9:59 pm PDT. It will remain in the sign of the Cancer for the entirety of the Retrograde.
