ALMUTEMMercury in Cancer
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. In Cancer, it expresses itself with sensitivity and a wish to look after your own.
In Cancer — a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon —, Mercury wanders peregrine, and speaks from the heart: it comforts and heals with words, knows what to say at the right hour, and creates an empathy that touches deeply. The intuition is strong, almost prophetic, but the same sensibility leaves it distracted and prone to distortions of the mind, in which feeling tinges thinking. Insecure on first contact, it quickly forms an intimate and harmonious bond. Being peregrine, it depends on its dispositor, the Moon, and on the state of its affections. The risk is to confuse what it feels with what is, and to take emotion for judgement. Its strength is the word that heals: a Mercury that thinks with the heart and that understands what others do not even manage to say.
