Mercury enters Cancer

Mercury enters Cancer

Mercury is in Cancer from July 12th, to August 2nd, 2027 (most recently from May 28th to June 26th, 2027). Why is this a longer period than the typical 3-week Mercury sign transit, and why does it happen in two parts? Mercury spends a lot more time in Cancer this year due to a recent retrograde cycle from June 10th to July 4th.

When Mercury is in Cancer, we move from the desire for quantity to the need for quality in terms of the information we are attracted to. We think, speak, and take in information on a deeper, more instinctive level now.

We have less interest in what is universal, and more interest in what affects us personally and what affects the people close to us. Our thoughts are colored by our emotions, making it more challenging to be objective.

While Mercury is in Cancer, we…

• have outstanding and detailed memories
• absorb information about the emotional background or atmosphere/setting
• pick up on moods and tones in addition to facts
• might not have great confidence in our ability to generate new or original ideas
• take great interest in (and notice of) personal issues and interactions
• don’t care much for intellectual stands if they’re devoid of a personal or heartful element
• need intimate settings to fully express ourselves
• have a well-developed sense of humor and warmth in our communications
