Mercury in Cancer increases your emotional intelligence. You've always been able to read a mood, ask thoughtful questions, and be a sounding board for those in need, but you haven't always trusted your fluency in this. Mercury's prolonged stay in Cancer until August 9th allows you to get to know a side of yourself you might not fully appreciate. It teaches that caring is a strength, everyone's feelings matter, and that showing restraint when you want to be unkind is one of the most loving things you can do. The end result will be an instinctual knowingness that no amount of self-doubt or overthinking can unseat.
