Mercury in Cancer
Mercury in Cancer means the planet Mercury was in Cancer when you were born. Mercury is never far from the Sun, so it is in your Sun sign or in one of the two beside it.
Cancer is a cardinal water sign. Mercury stays close to the Sun, never more than one sign away. In a chart it is how you think, learn and speak.
How you think and speak
Thinking with memory
You may think in memories more than in arguments. A smell, an old song, a tone of voice, and you know what you believe. You often listen for what is felt beneath what is said, and remember years later exactly how someone made you feel. Your words tend to come out when the room feels safe. Perhaps the task is to say what you think even when you cannot be sure of a gentle answer.
To write about
Which sentence that someone said to you long ago do you still carry, and why that one?
Not a forecast: a description to try on. Keep what sounds like you.
