MERCURIAL MACHINATIONS

Mercury in Cancer; in Superior Conjunction to the Sun

Mercury has moved into Cancer and will move through this watery emotionality until July 10th—and so through this time our thoughts turn more inward, toward reasonable measures of security.

Issues of security, safety, preparedness, and fundamentals of foundations are all likely to be more thoroughly considered, communicated, and/or more eagerly learned now.

Cancer is a very realistically-focused energy, and so when Mercury moves through Cancer, in particular, its own inherent need to make sense of all things is matched with a very realistically inclined perspective.

Further, a most fundamental way to claim a sense of security—emotionally, though also realistically, speaking—is to raise our own emotional intelligence…

Signs of a healthy emotional intelligence include being able to identify your emotions, or practice empathy, the ability to manage your emotions and control your more impulsive thoughts, as well as being able to apologize, or let go of resentments, to reflect on your own behaviors and reactions and learn from your mistakes, and to look—and really, truly recognize—the good in others.

Emotional intelligence is also a matter of centeredness.

Still, mental/emotional/realistic centeredness is a little tricky when only lateral movements, motions, and machinations are available…

Through this time—through July 10th—Mercury will connect to the sun, in superior conjunction at 9*09’ Cancer on June 30th while also simultaneously connecting to Saturn by trine, connect to Jupiter by sextile the next day, and then begin to apply and exact a square to Chiron, exact on July 5th at 19*50’ Cancer, and finally, oppose a retrograded Pluto on July 10th at 29*24’ Cancer.

The delineation of how these aspects will play out through this time looks quite loaded… for better or worse.

Be forewarned.
