Mercury Enters Cancer
Written by Robert Wilkinson

At 5:24 pm PDT on June 26, Mercury entered Cancer, a sensitive and caring sign. This ends the 2 week Gemini backdrop to planets and houses we have in Gemini and Virgo, and brings Water to the forefront of those planetary Lights and life houses.
This continues to quicken all things related to Mercury in our charts. Because it is still accelerating since its last retrograde, it is bringing speed to our ability to coordinate things, discover things, give and receive information, and see things from multiple points of view. It now has the ever-changing Moon as its ruler, showing Mercury will be more active, sensitive, and changeable until it enters Leo on July 10, when it will have the Sun as dispositor.
The rest of June and July should see things unfold at a very fast pace as Mercury is moving at maximum speed until it begins to slow as it enters Leo. During the time in Cancer it’s still catching up to the Sun, and the planet which “leads the Light,” showing that a prerequisite to “enlightened action” at this time involves discovering the new information or perspective we need to make things real.
Mercury in Cancer gives us a more caring view of things as we approach to the “fusion of Life and Mind” at the next Superior conjunction on June 30/July 1 at 10 Cancer. This will give us a new look at past things that enlightened us socially or emotionally at a turning point in our lives. We may remember how we were once “crafted to perfection,” or at some point achieved “the acme of civilized living” which we are now called upon to remember.
Keep in mind that its recent retrograde between 16 and 6 Taurus had as a theme of “the old answers can’t solve the current questions” and old approaches won’t necessarily get the job done. This set of lessons will be amplified when Jupiter goes SRX and SD on these same degrees between September and December.
Still, we’ll be getting very fast experience of Mercury through mid-July, after which it’ll rapidly slow down and enter its next shadow zone on August 3, preparing to go stationary retrograde at 22 Virgo on August 23.
For now, face forward, prepare to accelerate many Mercury-related things through mid-July, and then get everything in order, since once Mercury begins to slow down in its shadow zone we’ll begin to feel the retrograde effect. I’ll write more about that in late July.
