You may notice you're having trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning, that you're spacing out in mid-conversation, or you're desperate to take a catnap during your lunch break. Did you suddenly develop narcolepsy? No. But drowsiness is the order of the day when Mercury, the planet of the mind, is traveling through the realm of the Moon. Don't try to fight the drooping eyelids by fueling up with caffeine or Red Bull because you'll only make matters worse. Mercury in Cancer insists that you make the switch from stream of consciousness thinking to stream of unconsciousness thinking. At the very least you'll wake up feeling renewed and regenerated. Then again you could re-emerge from your slumbers with a fascinating idea or a fresh take on an old problem.

People who have Mercury in Cancer in their natal horoscopes do some of their best thinking in their sleep and you can learn to do the same thing too if you're willing to give it a go. Mercury will be in Cancer from June 1st to August 9th.
