Sun sign Cancers are the nurturers and caregivers of the

The planet Mercury, in astrology, governs thought,
communications, ideas, short term travel and reasoning. It represents the way
we think, communicate and share our ideas. It embodies how we impart
information and share our knowledge.
Mercury Retrogrades often ask us reconsider our prioritize, and
rethink whatever issues arise with regards to the nature of sign that it's in. So,
this particular retrograde you’ll be asks you to look at your feelings and
needs. What are you really hungry for? What will it take for you to acquire
those things you need most?
Cancer also governs intuitions and psychic forces, so for
the next few weeks trust your intuition. Wherever you have Cancer in your
chart, you’ll experience Mercury will asking you to address your needs and
whatever emotional concern this brings up for yours. With a strong emphasis on
family (blood and extended) and home, this retrograde may present you with
requirement and priorities, especially in the age of Covid-19, which what is
really important as opposed to what you feel should be important. Decide what matter
and choice wisely. What is essential and what is clutter.
So, if your gadgets, toys, props, and position are hindering
you, the retrograde will remove such distractions and put you back in touch what
is ultimately useful. View this as a
time for emotional repairs and reconnect with that is truly important.
Cancer, be willing to let the rest of us in on what
going on inside. Telling the truth to yourself and those who matter most to you
will make this period very productive.
Look and see what’s you lack or is missing and the reveal it.
Capricorn, Actions may speak louder than words, but
words matter now more than ever. Getting in touch with your deep emotions and
sentiments should be the emphasis.
Aries and Libra, you may need to review some
past matter and rehabilitate it in service to your future. Is there an ambition or effort you’ve written
off? Seek the clues to what offers a measure of pride and happiness
Get in touch with your feelings. What isn’t feeling good or
right in your life? Again. remember, the time to make any changes of matters
that come up during the retrograde is after the Retrograde is over on July 12.
The transit’s job is to highlight the concerns in anticipation of a resolution.
So, if some emotional problem presents itself to you, see it as an ongoing
matter and not as something you need to attend to at that exact moment. 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.
As with all retrogrades, communication, thoughts and
planning can be greatly altered resulting in delays and postponement of
important activities. Because it can affect spoken communications, written
text, email messages, etc. expect challenges when sharing information.
Mercury, which also governs short range travel, may throw
you a few curves in terms of journeys and trips, so you are advised to be
patience with any travel setbacks. In fact, patience and humor are often the
best way to negotiate any retrograde. Time spent in spiritual practices and
creative endeavors during this period should prove quite fruitful (work on
things that you’ve set aside or put to the back burner). Metaphysical works and
divinations tend to do well under the benevolence of the Mercury Retrograde in
Cancer’s psychic energies.
What feeds you? What do you need? During this transit, seek
to keep those questions foremost in your mind and being.
