How Mercury in Cancer Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign (& Make You More Sensitive)

Mercury is the planet of communication, intellect, and processing. Whatever sign it falls under will dictate the way we interact with one another and the focuses we have during that period. And Mercury’s transition into emotional and highly sensitive Cancer on June 17 at 5:07 a.m. ET, will bring a more emotional flavor to our interactions, as well as the avoidance of “uncomfy” conversations. Ultimately, conflict resolution is about to get much more difficult.

Cancer energy is cuddly and nurturing. So, this transit is a perfect time for lovey-dovey conversations and “you go girl” pep talks. But we have to remember that the other side of Cancer is highly avoidant and passive-aggressive. When everything is good, Cancer is good. In a bad mood? Well, it’s best to keep it from going there in the first place. Keeping it light during this transit is the key. If you have something to say, try to assess how emotional you are before going into the discussion, so as to avoid any of Cancer’s tell-tale side effects: moodiness, pettiness, and insecurity.

Good news is: Some days really help us tap into Cancer’s cuddly energy so that we can create emotional foundations with our connections. Right after Mercury enters Cancer on June 17, the communication planet meets up with Venus in the same sign. This helps us share our feelings with those we love. On June 26, Mercury will make a trine with Saturn in Pisces, which can help us put plans in place for love success. And finally, on June 28, Mercury’s square to Chiron (the asteroid associated with childhood wounding) can mean that words might hit us deeper than ever before.
