Mercury enters Cancer on June 1, 2026. The planet moves up to 26 degrees before turning retrograde on June 29th. Mercury will be direct on July 23 at 16 degrees. She leaves Cancer for Leo on August 9.
During this period, the collective mind addresses areas ruled by Cancer, such as family, roots, the past, nostalgia, emotional needs, and security. Signs ruled by Mercury are likely to struggle with this; Especially twins.
This is because Cancer can get emotional, while Mercury prefers to keep things light and moving. Cancer and Virgo have a great affinity. Cancer and Gemini are different species. That is, Virgo strives for efficiency. It will be a slog for both characters. Air signs Libra and Aquarius also feel the attraction.
On the other hand, we are quite isolated as a society. It might benefit us to think about it a bit and make some changes. This transit provides an opportunity to care with thought. This seems strange in an algorithm-driven world. Also, this seems to solve the problem indirectly
I’m talking about the cancer movement pattern. This is not true for you. It’s what you feel. In this day and age, if we are disconnected, it may take us ten weeks to absorb the lessons of this transit.
Note the house(s) in which this transit takes place. For example, Mercury spends the entire time in my 6th house. Health, thinking, communication, service. Add sensitivity to these things and you can see how the magnitude of this transit increases.
In short, there will be tears. But that’s a good thing, because our emotional sensitivity is one of the things that gives humans an edge over machines. They think it, we feel it.
