Mercury is the Sun's little speedy buddy, and is now also in Cancer through July 10th. When Mercury is in Cancer, language and other kinds of expression ride in on powerful emotions.

We're also able to pick up on what's not being said, through body language, the tone, and emotional resonance in the voice.

Some themes:
Speaking up for the vulnerable, young, unprotected, weak.
Conversations that move a situation forward, because they're so genuinely felt.
Comforting someone with just the right words.
Speaking the language of belonging, sharing, family, empathy, compassion.
Creative impulses inspired by the imagination, memory, emotions, dreams, the past.
An eye on family dramas, as a crucible for knowing ourselves deeply.
